Create a beautiful outdoor living space in New Elvet 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.
We work across the DH1 postcode in New Elvet (part of Durham County Council), travelling in via the A1(M) / A167 and often servicing Belmont, Gilesgate Moor on the same trip, which keeps lead times short for local homeowners.

New Elvet 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.
County Durham combines a rich mining heritage with a historic cathedral city and growing new-build communities. The county's housing stock includes traditional pit villages, Georgian and Victorian properties in Durham city, and modern estates in towns like Newton Aycliffe and Peterlee.
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.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in New Elvet.
How we adapt for this area:
Existing planting that you want to keep is professionally protected or temporarily relocated.
We provide a detailed care sheet for your specific patio material on completion.
We work to agreed hours that respect your routine and your neighbours in quiet residential streets.
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.
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.

Our own trained team carries out all the work — no unknown subcontractors on your property.
