Create a beautiful outdoor living space in Gilesgate Moor with a professionally designed patio from Global Outdoor Design. We work with Indian sandstone, porcelain, and natural stone to build patios that suit the character of properties in this sought-after part of County Durham.
Gilesgate Moor sits in the DH1 postcode area under Durham County Council, with easy access from the A1(M) / A167 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in County Durham, often combining visits with nearby work in Belmont, Carrville.

Gilesgate Moor is a suburban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
This is one of our busiest areas — we have multiple teams working here most weeks.
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 know the residential streets and property styles in Gilesgate Moor and work to complement them.
Recently built properties where homeowners want to replace standard builder finishes with premium driveways and patios.
These characterful properties combine ground-floor living with loft rooms, often needing specialist dormer roofing work.
Split-level properties with interesting rooflines and gardens that benefit from thoughtful design and quality materials.
Homes on quiet cul-de-sacs often have generous driveways and front gardens ideal for a complete transformation.
Being so active in this area means we can often fit in smaller jobs alongside larger scheduled projects.
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 Gilesgate Moor.
How we adapt for this area:

Our work across County Durham takes us from the cobbled streets of the historic city centre to the former colliery villages and market towns that make up much of the county. We understand the local planning considerations and building styles that vary widely across this diverse area.
Durham is a UNESCO World Heritage city dominated by its Norman cathedral and castle. Housing ranges from student lets and Georgian terraces in the city centre to family homes in surrounding villages. Conservation area rules apply across much of the historic core.
