What to know locally in Paarl
Wine farms around Simondium and Groot Drakenstein use face brick and clay pavers for cellars, tasting rooms and courtyards, and the colour has to match older buildings.

Lifestyle estates between Paarl and Franschhoek use face brick and paving, so order each phase from a consistent batch and keep a few spares.
Paarl: the building, the weather and the yards
Wine farms, fruit packsheds and a growing town give Paarl a wide mix of brick work. Farms across the Drakenstein valley build cellars, sheds, staff housing and boundary walls, many in face brick that suits the Cape Winelands look. Mbekweni and the newer housing areas of Paarl East extend with cement blocks and maxi bricks, while Wellington and Klapmuts see estates and warehouses. The Boland gets cold, wet winters and very hot, dry summers, so fresh bricks need cover from rain in July and shade and water in January. Brick and block yards sit in the industrial areas of Paarl and Wellington, and clay brickyards in the wider Winelands supply face brick.
Typical bricks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: bricks for staff houses, stores, kraals and walls around the farm buildings
- Homeowners: bricks for an extra room, a garage or a boundary wall round the house
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular loads of stock bricks delivered to site in step with the building programme
