Your garden in Sunniside deserves more than a basic patio. Global Outdoor Design creates bespoke outdoor spaces using premium materials — from Indian sandstone to contemporary porcelain — designed for the specific conditions in this scenic countryside area of County Durham.
Sunniside (DH, Durham County Council) is a regular fixture on our schedule. The A1(M) / A19 gives us reliable access from across County Durham.

Sunniside is a rural pocket inside Tow Law, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Tow Law job. We plan around outbuilding rooflines and exposed weather-facing elevations. That's why this page exists separately to ourTow Law page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
No job is too far — we serve smaller towns and villages across the North East with the same high standards.
Our skilled tradespeople bring years of hands-on experience to every project.
We'll always tell you what's genuinely needed rather than upselling work you don't require.
Every project is backed by comprehensive public liability insurance for your peace of mind.
We provide detailed written quotes with transparent pricing and no pressure to commit.
We bring everything needed in one efficient mobilisation to minimise disruption on rural access roads.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Sunniside.
How we adapt for this area:
Natural drainage solutions are incorporated where mains surface water connections are not available.
We source local stone where possible to reduce transport costs and ensure the patio suits its surroundings.
We work with existing garden features like dry stone walls, ponds, and mature trees.
Our work across County Durham takes us from the cobbled streets of the historic city centre to the former colliery villages and market towns that make up much of the county. We understand the local planning considerations and building styles that vary widely across this diverse area.
Properties with working land that need practical, durable driveways and hardstanding alongside attractive outdoor living spaces.
Historic workers' cottages in rural villages, often with thick stone walls and traditional rooflines that need specialist care.
Gatehouse and lodge properties at estate entrances, where traditional materials and period-appropriate finishes are essential.
Modern homes in countryside settings that benefit from natural-looking driveways and patios blending with the landscape.
We plan visits to this area efficiently, often scheduling nearby projects together to ensure prompt availability.
We visit to assess the garden, discuss your ideas, and recommend materials suited to the rural setting.
We prepare a design that complements the property and landscape, with materials chosen for the local conditions.
We deliver all materials in one efficient trip and prepare proper foundations with natural drainage solutions.
Natural stone is carefully laid using traditional techniques that suit the character of countryside properties.
We inspect the finish, complete planting borders if included, and leave the garden clean and tidy.
As well as patios & landscaping, we also offer these services to homeowners in Sunniside.
