Ground notes
What we plan for in Sunderland and Wearside
Wind and salt on the coast
Close to the sea, we pay extra attention to fixings and balustrades, and suggest boards and trims that cope with salty air.
New-build gardens
Newer estates often have thin topsoil over compacted ground and a garden that slopes towards the fence. We check drainage at the survey and plan around it.
Finding shelter
A deck tucked into the most sheltered corner, sometimes with a slatted screen, can make a breezy garden far more usable.
