What to know locally in George
Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp build mostly in plastered cement blocks and maxi bricks for new rooms and houses. Golf estates and newer suburbs use face brick and clay pavers, and colour must match across phases. Holiday homes at Wilderness and Herold's Bay need dense units and good damp-proofing to cope with salt and damp, so ask about efflorescence before choosing a face brick.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in George
Garden Route rain falls through the year, and that sets George apart from the rest of the Western Cape for brickmakers. Fresh cement bricks stay damp and cure slowly, and in a wet spell they need a roof, not just a sheet. Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp build steadily with cement blocks and maxi bricks, while Blanco, Heatherlands and the golf estates around town use face brick and paving. Holiday homes at Wilderness and Herold's Bay face sea salt and efflorescence. Block yards and hardware stores sit in George's industrial area and in town, sand comes from local pits, and deliveries run out along the N2 to Mossel Bay and Knysna.
