Your garden in Great Eppleton 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 picturesque area of County Durham.
Great Eppleton sits in the DH postcode area under Durham County Council, with easy access from the A1(M) / A19 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in County Durham, often combining visits with nearby work in Easington Lane.

Great Eppleton is a rural pocket inside Hetton-le-Hole, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Hetton-le-Hole job. We plan around longer approach drives, gravel-to-resin conversions and rural drainage. That's why this page exists separately to ourHetton-le-Hole page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Great Eppleton.
How we adapt for this area:
Heavy materials are positioned by machine to avoid manual handling across large rural gardens.
We work with existing garden features like dry stone walls, ponds, and mature trees.
Natural drainage solutions are incorporated where mains surface water connections are not available.
From the shadow of Durham Cathedral to the rolling hills of Teesdale, this county offers an extraordinary range of property styles. We've worked on Victorian miners' cottages, Georgian townhouses, and contemporary new-builds — adapting our approach to each unique setting.

Historic workers' cottages in rural villages, often with thick stone walls and traditional rooflines that need specialist care.
