Our Work

Recent Ponds And Waterfalls

Wildlife ponds, waterfalls, streams and water features from our recent projects, and a portfolio of our work since 2022.

Recent Projects

Gardens We Have Brought To Life.

Every garden we work in is different, and so is every pond. Below are six recent projects, each with its own brief and its own problem to solve, followed by a wider portfolio of ponds, waterfalls, streams and water features we have built since 2022. Every photograph was taken by us on site.

You can see more of our work as it happens on our Instagram and Facebook pages, and we are always happy to talk you through a project that is similar to yours.

Recent Projects

Six Gardens, Six Different Briefs.

01

Wildlife Pond · September 2026

Woodhurst

The brief was a pond that looked like it had always been in the garden. Shallow shelves on three sides, a cobble beach on the fourth, and marginal planting set while the water was still settling. The owners put the newts back themselves.

02

Wildlife Pond · September 2026

A Large Wildlife Pond

A large wildlife pond on an open plot, dug out with excavators and finished with a wide cobble beach on its sunny side. Reeds and marginal plants went into the shallows as soon as it was filled, and the new banks were left to green over through the first season.

03

Waterfall And Repair · Summer 2026

Burwell

The old feature had gone at several points and had been turned off rather than fixed. We traced the leaks, reset the watercourse and built a stone fall running back into the pond. The gain was not only how it looks. Moving water made a real difference to the water quality.

04

Renovation · May 2026

The Big Clean

Years of leaf fall had turned the water. We drained it down, cleaned the liner, took out the silt and refilled, then reset the planting so it would hold. Some very good koi came out of this one.

05

Pond And Cascade · April 2026

Digswell

The wall gave us a back to build against and a reason for the levels. Boulders were set to carry the fall, the edges were stitched in with cobble and planting, and the koi went in once the water had settled. No chemicals, and it has looked after itself since.

06

Waterfall And Stream · Spring 2026

A Courtyard Waterfall

A stone waterfall built into a courtyard garden, between an old brick wall and a dark timber fence. Large boulders carry the water down in a series of small falls, and cobbles, a weathered log, moss and conifers settle it into the garden around it.
