Natural pools & wildlife ponds
Having a water source in the garden is one of the best ways to encourage wildlife into your landscape. Having a pond that is good for wildlife will not only look good and bring a relaxing feel to the space but you will also be doing your bit for nature too.
Make sure you have a ramp or a gentle slope leading in and out of the water, this means that furry friends such as hedgehogs can have a drink without falling in. To get the most out of the plants available to grow in water create the pond so that there are shallow and deep areas. There is quite a lot to consider when building a wildlife pond so if you need some help then give us a call and we can design and build one for you!.
Still water
A water feature doesn’t need to have fancy fountains or complicated water falls. An expanse of reflective water can have a calming effect on the soul and reflect the changing nature of the sky above. You will still need a pump and good filtration system to stop the water turning green and slimy.
Features and fun
Water is a great way to introduce some fun and drama to the garden. From subtle to extravagant it’s hard not to smile when you come across jets of water coming through the paving or a winding waterfall around a seating area.
