Boundary walls along Tembisa and Katlehong streets often use hollow blocks, and retaining blocks hold up stepped gardens on the Northcliff and Linksfield ridges.

Sand comes in by tipper from pits south and west of the metros. Highveld frost in winter and violent summer storms are the two things to cover fresh bricks against.
