Your garden in Wheatley Hill 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 popular residential area of County Durham.
We work across the SR8 postcode in Wheatley Hill (part of Durham County Council), travelling in via the A19 / A1086, which keeps lead times short for local homeowners.

Wheatley Hill is a suburban pocket inside Peterlee, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Peterlee job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourPeterlee page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Wheatley Hill.
How we adapt for this area:
We set up a clear work zone in your garden and protect the lawn and planted areas throughout.
Drainage falls are planned from the outset to direct water away from the house and boundaries.
We mark out the full patio layout with string lines and pegs so you can visualise it before we start.
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.
Even in smaller communities, we bring the same quality materials, skilled team, and professional standards.
We work around your routine, school runs, and commitments to minimise disruption.
The price we quote is the price you pay — no surprise extras or hidden costs.
Our own trained team carries out all the work — no unknown subcontractors on your property.
We answer calls, reply to messages, and keep you informed at every stage of your project.
We understand the needs of family homes — safe working practices, clean sites, and considerate scheduling.
We schedule work in this area alongside nearby projects to keep lead times short and pricing competitive.
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.
As well as patios & landscaping, we also offer these services to homeowners in Wheatley Hill.
