Bricks & blocks in Western Cape: local notes
Backyard rooms in Khayelitsha, Gugulethu and Delft are mostly built in cement blocks, while complexes in Parklands, Durbanville and Somerset West use clay face brick or plastered blocks. Alterations in Rondebosch, Observatory and Wynberg often need older clay bricks matched in size. Retaining blocks hold slopes in Tygerberg Hills and Fish Hoek, and coastal homes in Hermanus and Kommetjie need dense face brick against salt.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Western Cape
Winter rain, not frost, is the main enemy of fresh bricks in the Western Cape. From May to August, curing rows in the Cape Flats and Winelands need covering, and bricklayers plan around wet weeks. The metro builds everywhere at once: backyard rooms in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and Delft, complexes in Parklands, Kraaifontein and Somerset West, and alterations to Victorian homes in the Southern Suburbs. Sand has long come from the Philippi area and the dunes of the Cape Flats, and clay brickyards work the shale belt north of the city. Stellenbosch, Paarl, Worcester and George add wine farms, student housing and Garden Route homes, and the south easter carries salt spray well inland.
Typical paving bricks requests in the area 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

Where they work from: yards on the Cape Flats and northern edge of the metro; trades in the Winelands and George.
