The gardens here
Homes and gardens in Ponteland and Darras Hall
Detached homes in Ponteland and on the Darras Hall estate often have wide, open gardens and plenty of room to think about levels, views and how the space flows from the house.
Darras Hall has its own estate rules and covenants. We'll ask you to check them early, and design within them.
What we design
Decks that suit Ponteland and Darras Hall
A deck with glass balustrade
Keeps the view open where the deck is raised above the lawn.
A lit evening deck
Step lights, uplighters and a soft glow under benches, designed in from the start.
Before we draw
Levels, access and the ground
Good access, bigger builds
Driveways and side gates usually make access easy, which suits larger decks and premium boards.
Sloping plots
Where a garden falls away, we design levels that follow the land rather than one tall platform.

Questions
Before you ask
Can you work within the Darras Hall covenants?
Yes. We'll design within the estate's rules; you'll need to confirm what they are for your plot before we finalise the drawing.
Can a deck include a hot tub area?
It can, but a hot tub needs its own structural design and power supply. We'll discuss it at the design visit and plan it properly if it's part of the brief.
