Slate, stone and weather in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a historic Boer War town on the Klip River, with older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre and suburbs such as Model Park. Heritage houses have thick walls, verandahs and timber floors, where slate suits stoeps, hearths and entrance halls, and local sandstone suits repair work. Owners should check heritage rules before altering older exteriors. Summers are hot with strong storms and hail, and winters bring frost, so outdoor tiles need a flexible adhesive, a solid bed and sealing. Lodges and farms towards the Drakensberg foothills use rustic slate and stone cladding. Local merchants stock basic tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng.

Typical outdoor slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: slate on front verandas and garden paths that match the character of older homes
- Suburban homes: cleft slate on back patios, braai areas and the stoep leading into the garden
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate on farmhouse stoeps, lodge terraces and guest house courtyards
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate terraces at restaurants, hotels and lodges where guests walk barefoot or in sandals
- New builds and developments: slate patios planned with falls and drainage as part of the new house build
- Security and golf estates: dark slate decks and walkways beside pools and entertainment areas in modern estate homes
