Slate, stone and weather in Pinetown
Pinetown sits inland of Durban on the hills, with older suburbs like Cowies Hill and Moseley and leafy neighbours such as Hillcrest and Kloof. Steep stands lead to terraced gardens, retaining walls and split-level patios, which suit stone cladding and slate steps and paving. Warm, humid weather and heavy summer rain mean mould on shaded slate, so falls, drainage and a non-slip finish matter. Cracked paving often traces back to poor drainage behind walls. Townhouse complexes usually need body corporate approval for finishes. Mid-century homes may still carry original tile or slate-look roofs. The industrial areas nearby hold tile suppliers, paving yards and merchants, with quick delivery across the hills.

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
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate plunge pool deck on a courtyard, subject to body corporate approval
- 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
- New builds and developments: pool coping and deck slate planned with the builder so falls and levels are right first time
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: non-slip slate decking for hotel, lodge or restaurant pools used by guests every day
