Global Outdoor Design provides expert driveway installation throughout Kenton and the wider Tyne and Wear area. Whether your property is on a quiet cul-de-sac or a busy street in this well-established location, our team creates driveways that combine durability with kerb appeal.
Kenton sits in the NE1 postcode area under Newcastle City Council, with easy access from the A1(M) / A19 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in Tyne and Wear, often combining visits with nearby work in Gosforth, Fawdon, Fenham.

Kenton is a suburban pocket inside Newcastle upon Tyne, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Newcastle upon Tyne job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourNewcastle upon Tyne page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Tyne and Wear sits at the heart of the North East, with excellent transport links and a diverse housing stock. Whether you live in a city centre apartment block or a suburban semi, we bring local knowledge and trusted workmanship to every project across the county.
As the regional capital, Newcastle has an incredibly diverse housing stock from Grade II listed Georgian townhouses on Grey Street to modern riverside apartments at the Quayside. Jesmond and Gosforth offer leafy Victorian suburbs, while the west end features more affordable terraced housing.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Kenton.
How we adapt for this area:
Garden sprinkler systems and exterior lighting cables are located and protected before excavation.
We leave a full care guide and maintenance advice tailored to your specific driveway surface.
We coordinate dropped kerb applications with the local council where needed as part of the project.
As one of the region's largest population centres, we maintain a regular presence here and can usually schedule work at short notice.
We measure your driveway area, check for utility locations, and discuss your design preferences.
You receive a fixed-price quote with a clear timeline. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Old surfaces are excavated and disposed of. A proper MOT Type 1 sub-base is laid and compacted.
The chosen surface — resin-bound, block paving, or tarmac — is installed with precision.
We inspect the finish, ensure drainage is working correctly, and remove all waste from your property.
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.
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.
