Slate, stone and weather in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga splits into cool, frosty Highveld and the warm, humid Lowveld, and slate behaves differently in each. On the Highveld, frost and hail test roofs and outdoor paving, so a solid adhesive bed and good falls matter. In the Lowveld around Mbombela and White River, heat, humidity and heavy rain bring moss and algae to shaded slate. Lodges, game farms and citrus homes favour rustic slate and stone cladding for verandas, bars and entrance walls. Tile shops and stone yards sit in the main towns, and bulk stone is usually delivered by truck to farms and lodges.

Typical slate pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a slate deck around the family pool with a braai area and shaded loungers close by
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: a large slate deck beside a lodge or guest house pool, with views of the veld
- Security and golf estates: matching slate paving from the entertainment patio to the pool edge in a modern home
- Older and heritage homes: slate coping and paving that suits a restored garden and an older home with character
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate plunge pool deck on a courtyard, subject to body corporate approval
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: non-slip slate decking for hotel, lodge or restaurant pools used by guests every day
