Mbombela notes on bricks & blocks
Hilly plots in Sonheuwel, West Acres and Rocky Drift need retaining wall blocks to hold back terraces, and estate homes favour face brick. In KaNyamazane and Matsulu, owners build with hollow blocks or cement maxi bricks, adding a room when money allows. Ask for paving bricks with good drainage falls, since Lowveld storms bring a lot of water in a short time.
Mbombela: the building, the weather and the yards
Lowveld heat and humidity change how bricks behave in Mbombela. Fresh cement bricks dry far too fast on a hot October slab, so yards here keep them damp, shaded and covered, and summer downpours can wash out a day's work in minutes. The city spreads across hills: estates and complexes in Karino and around Rocky Drift, family homes in West Acres and Sonheuwel, and fast-growing townships such as KaNyamazane and Matsulu where houses go up room by room in blocks. Granite quarries and river sand supply the building trade. Brickyards and block yards sit on the main routes into town, and machine sellers serve the many small brick makers in the townships and villages toward Hazyview.
The requests we see from Mbombela usually come from:
- Homeowners: a paved driveway, a path to the front door or a patio by the braai
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: pavers ordered for driveways and walkways at the end of a house build
- Housing developers and complexes: matching pavers for the roads, parking and walkways of an estate or complex
