Slate, stone and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, golf estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds needs a non-slip finish, proper falls and regular cleaning to keep moss and algae down. Coastal homes also face salt. Estates and holiday houses favour stone cladding and slate on feature walls and entrances. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the area, with deliveries to Knysna, Mossel Bay and the Little Karoo.

Typical slate pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Security and golf estates: matching slate paving from the entertainment patio to the pool edge in a modern home
- Coastal and holiday homes: salt-resistant sealed slate around a holiday home pool, with wet feet and sand in mind
- Suburban homes: a slate deck around the family pool with a braai area and shaded loungers close by
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate plunge pool deck on a courtyard, subject to body corporate approval
- New builds and developments: pool coping and deck slate planned with the builder so falls and levels are right first time
- Older and heritage homes: slate coping and paving that suits a restored garden and an older home with character
