Homes and gardens in Cramlington
Most Cramlington gardens are a sensible size with a patio or slabs by the house, a lawn, and close boarded fences. Newer homes often have heavy clay under a thin layer of topsoil.
With neighbours close by, privacy and shade are usually part of the brief.
What we design
Decks that suit Cramlington
A screened corner deck
Slatted screens for privacy, with planting to soften them.

Before we draw
Levels, access and the ground
Clay ground
We use proper footings and keep the frame clear of wet ground.
Sloping new-build gardens
Many fall towards the back fence; the deck frame takes out the slope.

Questions
Before you ask
Can you build over our existing slabs?
Sometimes. We'll check they're sound and level enough, otherwise we lift them first.
Can a deck include a privacy screen?
Yes. We design screens to suit the deck and keep them within sensible heights for boundaries.
