Based in the North East, Global Outdoor Design provides a full range of property improvement services to homeowners throughout Old Elvet. Our team specialises in resin driveways, natural stone patios, and roofing work, delivering lasting results in this well-established corner of County Durham.
We work across the DH1 postcode in Old 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.

Old 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.
We offer a complete range of exterior property services to homeowners in Old Elvet and surrounding areas.
Solid-built semi-detached homes with good-sized plots, perfect for adding a new driveway or patio.
Newer builds with open-plan gardens that suit contemporary patio designs and low-maintenance landscaping.
Houses that have been extended often need the driveway or roof adjusted to match the new footprint.
Properties on corner plots have more frontage and garden space, offering greater scope for creative exterior design.
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.
