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 slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: verandas, stoeps and garden paths in older gardens, with slate that suits the house
- Suburban homes: back patios, stoeps and braai areas, plus garden paths and entrance steps
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: large stoeps, lapa floors and garden paths around farmhouses, lodges and wine estates
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant terraces, hotel courtyards and garden walkways that carry plenty of foot traffic
- New builds and developments: patios and paths laid at the end of the build, once levels and drainage are set
- Security and golf estates: large entertainment patios, pool decks and entrance paths in modern designs
