Create a beautiful outdoor living space in Ouston 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.
Properties in the DH2 district of Ouston fall under Durham County Council, and we reach the area regularly via the A1(M) / A167, alongside ongoing projects in Pelton, Birtley.

Ouston is a suburban pocket inside Chester-le-Street, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Chester-le-Street job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourChester-le-Street page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
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.
