From the first design sketch to the final planting, Global Outdoor Design manages every detail of your patio project in Oxclose. We've worked across this family-friendly area of Tyne and Wear for years and bring that local experience to every garden we transform.
Oxclose sits in the NE37 postcode area under Sunderland 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 Concord, Barmston, Columbia.

Oxclose is a suburban pocket inside Washington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Washington job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourWashington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Tyne and Wear's distinctive blend of riverside developments, Victorian suburbs, and modern housing estates gives every project its own character. We draw on years of local experience to deliver exterior improvements that sit naturally alongside the county's diverse architecture.
Washington is a planned new town built in the 1960s and 1970s, with distinct numbered villages each containing their own housing estates, shops, and green spaces. Properties are predominantly modern semi-detached and detached houses with good-sized gardens.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Oxclose.
How we adapt for this area:
Drainage falls are planned from the outset to direct water away from the house and boundaries.
We work to agreed hours that respect your routine and your neighbours in quiet residential streets.
Existing planting that you want to keep is professionally protected or temporarily relocated.
Our familiarity with local property styles and conditions means we can advise confidently on the best approach for your project.
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.
We've earned repeat business and recommendations in this area through reliable, quality work.
We understand the local housing styles, weather conditions, and planning considerations in Oxclose.
Our own trained team carries out all the work — no unknown subcontractors on your property.
As a family-run company, our reputation depends on every single job being done right.
The price we quote is the price you pay — no surprise extras or hidden costs.
