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 pavers requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: crazy paving slate for garden paths and stoeps that suit older homes and mature gardens
- Suburban homes: slate pavers for the garden path, front entrance and braai patio of a family home
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate pavers for farmyard paths, lodge walkways, wine estate courtyards and guest house gardens
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: hard-wearing slate pavers for restaurant terraces, hotel gardens, entrance paths and courtyards
- New builds and developments: slate paving planned with levels and drainage so falls and bases are right from the start
- Security and golf estates: sawn grey slate paving slabs for courtyards, pool decks and neat garden paths
