Why Delves is different from the rest of Consett

Delves is a suburban pocket inside Consett, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Consett job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourConsett page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Patios & Landscaping Considerations for Delves

Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Delves.

  • Raised beds and planters that frame the patio and add visual interest
  • Future-proofing for hot tub bases, pergola footings, or garden room foundations
  • Dedicated zones for dining, lounging, and children's play
  • Integrated lighting for evening entertaining

How we adapt for this area:

We set up a clear work zone in your garden and protect the lawn and planted areas throughout.

Drainage falls are planned from the outset to direct water away from the house and boundaries.

We mark out the full patio layout with string lines and pegs so you can visualise it before we start.

What Delves Homeowners Typically Want

  • Garden makeovers combining new patio with lawn edging and borders
  • Child-friendly outdoor spaces with secure boundaries and soft planting
  • Extending patios to accommodate outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas
  • Replacing tired decking with durable stone or porcelain paving
  • Creating separate garden rooms connected by paved pathways
  • Feature walls and water features as part of a complete garden redesign

Serving Delves and County Durham

County Durham combines a rich mining heritage with a historic cathedral city and growing new-build communities. The county's housing stock includes traditional pit villages, Georgian and Victorian properties in Durham city, and modern estates in towns like Newton Aycliffe and Peterlee.

Consett sits high on the Durham hills at over 250 metres above sea level, making it one of the coldest and most exposed towns in the region. Properties need to withstand harsh weather, and materials must be chosen for wind and frost resistance.
