Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
Typical slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Security and golf estates: large entertainment patios, pool decks and entrance paths in modern designs
- New builds and developments: patios and paths laid at the end of the build, once levels and drainage are set
- Older and heritage homes: verandas, stoeps and garden paths in older gardens, with slate that suits the house
