Create a beautiful outdoor living space in Durham 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 conservation-worthy part of County Durham.
Durham (DH1, Durham County Council) is a regular fixture on our schedule. The A1(M) / A167 gives us reliable access from across County Durham, and we frequently book back-to-back jobs with Chester-le-Street, Spennymoor, Brandon.

County Durham's landscape ranges from the Pennine uplands to the Durham coast, with housing that reflects centuries of development. Whether you're in a period property near the cathedral or a modern home in one of the county's new-build estates, we deliver quality exterior work suited to your surroundings.
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.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Durham.
How we adapt for this area:
Lime mortar and traditional jointing techniques are used where required on heritage properties.
We photograph existing features and layouts to ensure new work respects the original garden design.
We use traditional laying patterns and joint widths appropriate to the property's era and style.
We've completed hundreds of projects across the city and surrounding areas.
All our work comes with a written workmanship guarantee, giving you confidence for years to come.
Every project is backed by comprehensive public liability insurance for your peace of mind.
We're happy to show you examples of projects we've completed in Durham before you commit.
We'll always tell you what's genuinely needed rather than upselling work you don't require.
Our designs are informed by the architectural era and style of your property, ensuring a harmonious result.
Grade I and II listed properties where all exterior work must comply with conservation requirements and use approved materials.
Elegant period properties in conservation areas where sympathetic materials like natural stone and slate are essential.
Large Victorian properties with ornate rooflines and generous grounds that suit premium patio and driveway designs.
Well-built Edwardian homes with bay windows and tiled paths that benefit from sensitive exterior renovation.
As one of the region's largest population centres, we maintain a regular presence here and can usually schedule work at short notice.
We survey the garden, note any conservation restrictions, and discuss period-appropriate design options.
We source reclaimed and heritage-grade materials, preparing samples for your and any officer's approval.
For conservation areas, we prepare a method statement detailing our approach, materials, and techniques.
The patio is laid using techniques appropriate to the property's era — lime mortar, hand-cut stone, and traditional patterns.
We photograph the completed work and provide heritage-appropriate maintenance guidance.
