Homes and gardens in Tynemouth and Whitley Bay
From Tynemouth's period terraces to the semis of Whitley Bay and Monkseaton, gardens near the coast get more wind and salt than those inland. Some catch a glimpse of the sea; most just catch the breeze.
Parts of Tynemouth are conservation areas, which we check before designing anything raised.

Questions
Before you ask
Does composite cope with sea air?
Good composite boards do well near the coast, especially with stainless fixings. We'll recommend ranges that suit.
Can a deck be sheltered without losing the light?
Yes. Slatted or glazed screens, placed carefully, cut the wind while keeping the deck bright.
