Why buy cabro paving from HousePlans Kenya

  • Built to last

    A cabro driveway is only as good as its base. We compact hardcore in layers and slope it for drainage, so blocks don't sink or move.

  • Free measurement & design

    We measure your compound, propose a pattern and colour layout, and give a fixed price per m² before starting.

  • Architects on the team

    We design houses for a living, so what we supply fits your plan, your plot and your budget, not just what's in stock.

  • Order on WhatsApp, pay via M-Pesa

    Send your order on WhatsApp, get a written quote, and pay in stages by M-Pesa or bank transfer. No surprises.

  • Delivery across Kenya

    Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos and Kajiado same week; Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nyeri, Meru and other counties on schedule.

Cabro price per square metre in Kenya

Grey 60 mm cabro blocks cost about KSh 1,000–1,150 per m² supplied to site in Nairobi, and coloured cabros cost about KSh 1,200–1,400 per m². Heavy-duty 80 mm blocks cost about KSh 1,300–1,500 per m². Supplied and installed, including excavation, hardcore, sand bedding and compaction, expect KSh 2,000–2,800 per m² depending on the soil and how much digging is needed.

For example, a 200 m² driveway and compound with 60 mm grey cabro and kerbs costs roughly KSh 420,000–520,000 fully installed.

60 mm or 80 mm cabro?

60 mm cabro is enough for walkways, homes and car driveways. Choose 80 mm for parking lots, schools with buses, petrol stations and any place where lorries deliver. Zigzag and I-shape blocks interlock better under traffic than rectangular blocks, and a herringbone pattern spreads the load best.

Planning cabro with your house

Cabro works best when the driveway, parking and drainage are planned with the house. On our house plans we show the driveway, parking bays and storm-water falls on the site plan, so the paving drains away from the house and into soak pits or the county drain.
