Do Water Features Need A Power Supply?

Yes, the pump needs electricity. If there is no suitable outdoor supply near where the feature will go, a new one will need to be installed safely, and we will talk you through what is needed at the site visit.

How Much Looking After Does A Water Feature Need?

Very little. Top up the reservoir when the level drops, clear leaves and debris from the stones and clean the pump now and then. Water across much of Cambridgeshire is hard, so an occasional clean keeps limescale off the feature.

Can A Water Feature Be Left On Over Winter?

Many can run through mild winters, but in freezing weather it is best to switch them off to protect the pump and the feature itself. We will give you advice for the feature you choose.

Do Water Features Have Open Water?

Most of the features we install have no open water, because the reservoir is hidden below ground under a grille and stones. Young children should still be supervised around any water.

Can You Add Lighting?

Yes. LED lighting can be built into most features, so you can enjoy them in the evening as well as during the day.

For Any Size Of Space

The Sound Of Water In Any Garden.

A water feature brings the sound and movement of water to a space too small for a pond, or adds a finishing touch to a larger garden. Most are self contained, with the water stored in a hidden reservoir below ground and pumped up through the feature, so there is no open water and very little to look after.

We supply and install garden water features for homes and businesses across Cambridge, Huntingdon, St Neots, Newmarket and Saffron Walden. We also design bespoke features to suit a particular space, from a pebble pool set into paving to a wall of water at the entrance to a business.

The Range

Find The Right Feature.

Choose where it will go to see the features that suit the space. Every one runs from a hidden reservoir, so the only water on show is the water that moves.

Ask About This Feature

Every feature is supplied and installed by us, with advice on the power supply it needs.

Urns, Spheres And Columns

The range we install includes slate water urns in several sizes, decorative and scalloped urns, water spheres, basalt style columns and water basins with spillways. In each case the water rises through the feature and runs down its sides into the stones below, giving a gentle, constant sound.

These features suit small gardens and courtyards especially well, because they take up very little room and need no open water. They also look good in groups, for example three urns of different heights together, or a sphere set among planting.

Walls And Spillways Of Water

Slate walls and curved slate walls create a sheet of water that runs down the face of the stone. Spillways and basins pour water from one level to another, on their own or in pairs. Both work well against a boundary wall, on a terrace or at the edge of a patio, and both make a striking feature at the entrance to a business.

We set these features on a solid, level base so the water runs evenly across the full width, and we hide the reservoir and the pipework so the finish looks clean from every side.

Fire And Water Features

For something different, fire and water features combine moving water with a living flame. The range includes fire and water spillways, basins, spheres, columns and urns, as well as stone style fire features. They make a remarkable centrepiece for a terrace or an outdoor seating area, especially in the evening.

These features need careful siting and installation, and we will talk you through exactly what each one needs before you choose.

Bespoke Features And Pebble Pools

Not every space suits a ready made feature. We also design bespoke water features, such as a pebble pool set into paving, a spout from an existing wall or a small rill running beside a path. These are built in the same way as our ponds and waterfalls, with natural stone and a hidden reservoir.

If you have room for something larger, a pondless waterfall gives you a fuller sound and more movement and still has no open water, and our hard landscaping work can finish the paving and planting around any feature.
