What to know locally in George
Bricklayers and builders cover George, Wilderness and the farms towards Blanco and the Outeniqua foothills. Paving contractors lay estate driveways and need good drainage in the wet climate. Building sand comes by tipper from local pits. Fire bricks are in demand for fireplaces in this cool, damp area, and repairers in the industrial area can fix motors and rebuild worn moulds.
George: the building, the weather and the yards
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 new driveway, a path to the back door or paving around a pool
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a paving subcontractor to finish driveways and walkways at handover
- Housing developers and complexes: paved internal roads, parking bays and entrances across a complex
