Your garden in Doxford Park deserves more than a basic patio. Global Outdoor Design creates bespoke outdoor spaces using premium materials — from Indian sandstone to contemporary porcelain — designed for the specific conditions in this sought-after area of Tyne and Wear.
Doxford Park sits in the SR1 postcode area under Sunderland City Council, with easy access from the A19 / A1231 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in Tyne and Wear, often combining visits with nearby work in Silksworth, Farringdon, Ryhope.

Doxford Park is a suburban pocket inside Sunderland, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Sunderland job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourSunderland page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
We've completed hundreds of projects across the city and surrounding areas.
We answer calls, reply to messages, and keep you informed at every stage of your project.
Homeowners across the North East rate us 5 stars for quality, reliability, and communication.
We work around your routine, school runs, and commitments to minimise disruption.
As a family-run company, our reputation depends on every single job being done right.
We design driveways and gardens that enhance your property's value and fit the local streetscape.
The most common property type in suburban areas, ideal for driveway extensions, patio installations, and roof maintenance.
Larger properties with generous gardens and double driveways that allow for more ambitious design and material choices.
Single-storey properties where roof access is easier and garden spaces often wrap around the building.
Properties from this era often need driveway resurfacing, patio additions, and roofline upgrades to modernise their appearance.
As one of the region's largest population centres, we maintain a regular presence here and can usually schedule work at short notice.
We discuss your outdoor living requirements, measure your garden, and explore material options.
You receive a comprehensive quote covering design, materials, drainage, and any extras like lighting or raised beds.
We clear the area, lay proper foundations, and install drainage channels before any paving begins.
Slabs are laid on a full mortar bed with precise cutting, consistent joints, and correct drainage falls.
We complete finishing touches, remove all waste, and provide a maintenance guide for your specific materials.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Doxford Park.
How we adapt for this area:
Drainage falls are planned from the outset to direct water away from the house and boundaries.
We work to agreed hours that respect your routine and your neighbours in quiet residential streets.
Existing planting that you want to keep is professionally protected or temporarily relocated.
Tyne and Wear is a densely populated metropolitan county with a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates, and modern developments. Properties here range from traditional Tyneside flats to large detached homes in leafy suburbs, all requiring exterior work that respects the area's industrial heritage and urban character.
Sunderland combines a proud maritime and industrial heritage with coastal living at Roker and Seaburn. The city has extensive suburban estates, a growing university quarter, and nearby villages that offer a quieter pace of life while remaining well-connected.
