Braai Areas & Fire Pits in Edenvale

A braai area is a social layout problem as much as a construction one: where the smoke goes, where people stand, and where the person cooking is in relation to everyone else.

We build masonry braais with correct firebox and flue proportions, and fire pits with non-combustible surrounds and seating designed around them.

Edenvale is an established, well-treed suburb between Johannesburg and the East Rand, with older homes, mature gardens and low-lying areas that hold water.

For braai areas & fire pits specifically, the deciding factor here is usually this: Mature gardens need renovation rather than replacement — thinning, re-levelling and re-lawning.

• Low-lying sections drain slowly after storms, so subsoil drainage and raised beds are frequently required.
• Mature gardens need renovation rather than replacement — thinning, re-levelling and re-lawning.
• Older paving and driveways commonly sit on inadequate sub-bases and need a full re-lay.
• Shade from established trees suits LM lawn or artificial turf.

Braai Areas & Fire Pits suits the property types we see most often around Edenvale and the surrounding Gauteng area.

• Established family homes
• Townhouse complexes
• Small commercial premises
• Patios and covered entertainment areas
• Garden boma and fire-pit seating circles
• Lodges, venues and guesthouses

Preparation decides how long the finish lasts, so it is specified in writing rather than assumed on site: levels, drainage, sub-base or substrate, and edge or perimeter detailing.

• Built-in masonry braais with flues
• Boma and fire-pit circles with seating
• Gas fire features
• Wood storage and preparation counters

• Draws smoke away from guests
• A year-round focal point for the garden
• Safe, permanent construction instead of a portable unit

Programme and price both depend on the site rather than a rate card: access for materials and machinery, the amount of levelling or demolition needed, drainage work, the area covered, and the material specification you choose.

We quote line by line after measuring the site in Edenvale, so you can compare our scope against any other quotation honestly. We do not publish per-square-metre prices, because a quoted rate without a specification tells you nothing.

You receive a written care schedule at handover covering cleaning, seasonal checks and anything that needs attention in the first months. Optional maintenance visits are available where a property needs a consistent standard year-round.

1. 01

   Consultation & site visit

   We walk the site with you, take measurements, note levels, drainage, sun and access, and understand how you want to use the space.

2. 02

   Design & specification

   We produce a layout, material palette and written specification so you can see exactly what is being built before anything is ordered.

3. 03

   Transparent quotation

   A line-item quotation priced against the specification — materials, preparation, labour and timelines, with no hidden allowances.

4. 04

   Site preparation

   Clearing, levelling, excavation, sub-base, drainage and edge restraints. Preparation is where a landscape or floor is won or lost.

5. 05

   Installation & build

   Our own crews install to the agreed specification with staged quality checks and daily site tidy-ups.

6. 06

   Handover & aftercare

   Final walk-through, snag list, and a written care schedule so the finish performs for years, plus optional maintenance visits.
