WALKWAYS ENHANCE UPMARKET ESTATE
Nestled along the gentle flow of the Jukskei River, Dainfern Valley Estate, in the heart
of the countryside, transports local homeowners to another world where they rise to
the dawning of each day as a hammerkop frolics for food and a gecko lies lazily in the
morning sun.

Conceptualised and developed to provide a quality lifestyle in a secure
and natural environment, Dainfern Valley Estate is one of the most sought-after areas to
own a home in the entire Johannesburg-Gauteng region.
Style & Craft Paving, which is celebrating its 26 year anniversary in 2014, were contracted
to lay the paving at Dainfern Valley Estates. “We started the project in November 2012,”
says Style & Craft Paving owner, Keith Turner, “And on top of the 5,259m2 of walkways
currently in place, we have also been contracted to complete ‘Vincent Park’ and the
‘Green Belt’, amounting to another 1,1km (1,439m2) of paving,” he explains
