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 pavers requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Security and golf estates: sawn grey slate paving slabs for courtyards, pool decks and neat garden paths
- New builds and developments: slate paving planned with levels and drainage so falls and bases are right from the start
- Older and heritage homes: crazy paving slate for garden paths and stoeps that suit older homes and mature gardens
