The gardens here
Homes and gardens in Morpeth
Older homes around the centre and close to the Wansbeck often have walled gardens and stone boundaries, while the newer estates on the edge of town have open, regular plots.
For gardens near the river, we look carefully at levels and drainage before designing.
What we design
Decks that suit Morpeth
A new-build terrace deck
Replacing the builder's slabs with a deck level with the patio doors.
A family deck with steps to the lawn
Room for dining, with a lawn left for play.
Before we draw
Levels, access and the ground
Low-lying gardens
Near the river we keep the frame well ventilated and check where water goes in heavy rain.
Stone boundaries
We keep the deck clear of old walls so they can breathe.

Questions
Before you ask
Our garden is near the river. Can we still have a deck?
Usually. We'll look at levels and drainage at the design visit and build the frame with that in mind.
Which boards suit a stone house?
Warm browns and natural timber often sit best with stone. We'll bring samples to try against your walls.
