We've designed and installed patios for homeowners throughout Dunston and across Tyne and Wear. Every project starts with a free consultation where we discuss your vision, measure your space, and recommend materials that suit your budget and garden.
Dunston sits in the NE8 postcode area under Gateshead Council, with easy access from the A1(M) / A184 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in Tyne and Wear, often combining visits with nearby work in Teams, Whickham, Lobley Hill.

Dunston is a urban pocket inside Gateshead, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Gateshead job. We plan around Victorian and Edwardian frontages where matching existing materials matters. That's why this page exists separately to ourGateshead page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
From the Tyne bridges to the Wear's winding path, this metropolitan county pulses with energy and history. Our team has worked on properties ranging from listed quayside warehouses to sprawling new-build estates, adapting techniques and materials to each unique setting.
Gateshead sits across the Tyne from Newcastle and offers a mix of urban terraces near the town centre, established suburbs like Low Fell and Whickham, and rural villages towards the Derwent Valley. The Angel of the North and Baltic arts quarter reflect the area's ongoing regeneration.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Dunston.
How we adapt for this area:
We photograph the garden before starting and discuss the design in detail to avoid surprises.
Materials are delivered in manageable loads to navigate narrow side passages and rear access.
We work to agreed hours that respect your routine and your neighbours in terraced streets.
As one of the region's largest population centres, we maintain a regular presence here and can usually schedule work at short notice.
We visit your garden to discuss your ideas, measure the space, and assess access for materials and equipment.
We create a layout plan with material options and a fixed-price quote covering everything.
Old surfaces are removed, the ground is levelled, and proper foundations with drainage are prepared.
Slabs are cut, laid, and pointed to your chosen design with careful attention to levels and falls.
Steps, edging, and planting areas are completed. We clean up and hand over your new outdoor space.
Upper and lower flats with shared access paths and compact front areas requiring space-efficient solutions.
Traditional terraced houses with narrow frontages where we design driveways and roofing solutions that work within tight constraints.
Popular across urban estates, these properties benefit from kerb appeal improvements that complement the neighbouring property.
Modern developments often need finishing touches — driveways that replace builder-standard tarmac and gardens that go beyond basic turf.
We've completed hundreds of projects across the city and surrounding areas.
Our own trained team carries out all the work — no unknown subcontractors on your property.
We understand the local housing styles, weather conditions, and planning considerations in Dunston.
We source premium materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring results that last.

We use right-sized tools and equipment to work efficiently in the space constraints of urban properties.
