What to know locally in George
Small yards in Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp often use electric egg-laying machines on a covered slab, since frequent rain means bricks sit longer before stacking. A static machine with pallets that can be moved under a roof is worth considering. Damp air rusts steel, so keep machines dry and greased. Machine sellers are few here, so many people order from Cape Town or Gqeberha.
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.
The requests we see from George usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a 350 litre site mixer for foundations, mortar and slabs on every job
- Housing developers and complexes: several mixers or a pan mixer for housing phases and on-site block making
Local tips for George
Common here: blocks and maxi bricks for homes, face brick and paving for estates. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask whether the yard cures bricks under a roof during wet spells. Where they work from: yards and stores in George's industrial area and town, more in Mossel Bay.
Concrete Mixers usually suit brickyards, builders, farms and homeowners, made or supplied like this: rotating drum, or a pan with paddles. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall. On the weather side: rain through the year slows curing; salt near the coast marks face brick.
