Bricks & blocks in Randburg: local notes
Ferndale, Blairgowrie and Robindale extensions usually need a face brick that matches 1960s or 1970s brickwork, so ask the yard for semi face or face brick samples in the right colour. Northcliff, Linden and Montgomery Park stands step down rocky slopes, and retaining blocks are the common answer for terraces. In Cosmo City, cement maxi bricks and blocks are used for rooms and boundary walls. Complexes in Bromhof and Sundowner often rebuild walls in blocks.
Building with brick in Randburg
Randburg is mostly settled suburbs, so brick work here leans to renovation and repair rather than new houses. Ferndale, Blairgowrie and Bordeaux have face brick homes from the 1960s and 1970s being opened up and extended, Linden and Northcliff have steep stands that need retaining walls, and the townhouse complexes off Malibongwe Drive and Hans Strijdom Drive replace and raise boundary walls. Strijdom Park and the industrial stands toward Kya Sand hold hardware stores and block yards, and Cosmo City to the north west keeps builders busy with rooms and extensions. Rocky ridges mean shallow soil on some stands, and summer storms run hard down the Northcliff slopes, so drainage behind walls matters.
The requests we see from Randburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: terracing a sloping garden or holding back the bank beside a driveway
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: retaining walls on sloping plots before the house platform is built
- Landscapers and paving teams: planted retaining walls and terraces that turn a steep bank into beds
