Alberton notes on bricks & blocks
Meyersdal and Mayberry Park estates use face brick with high plastered walls, and retaining blocks hold up terraces on ridge stands. Brackenhurst and Brackendowns homes extend in face brick or maxi bricks and plaster. Thokoza and Palm Ridge build rooms and boundary walls in cement maxi bricks and blocks. Factories in Alrode use 190 mm hollow blocks, often reinforced and filled.
Alberton: the building, the weather and the yards
Alrode's factories and yards sit a short drive from almost every stand in Alberton, which makes this one of the easier towns to source blocks and machines. Housing is a mix: estates on the slopes of Meyersdal and the Klipriviersberg ridge, family homes in Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and New Redruth, and growing extension work in Thokoza and Palm Ridge. Estate homes favour face brick and high plastered walls, while Thokoza families add rooms and rental units in cement bricks. Rocky ridge stands in Meyersdal often need retaining walls and careful foundations. Summer storms here are heavy and run off the ridge quickly, and winter mornings bring frost to the low ground near the Natalspruit.
