Ecosystem Ponds in London & the Home Counties
Sit back and enjoy the soothing sound of running water in your garden, creating “golden time” spent relaxing with your family & friends beside your unique ecosystem pond.
We love the creativity of designing & installing our natural ecosystem ponds made the way Mother Nature makes them, with rocks, gravel and aquatic planting for natural filtration.
These beautiful biodiverse and sustainable ponds can be combined with water fountains to create a unique water feature to your liking. They are low maintenance as part of a regular garden routine and require only one professional maintenance visit per year.
We do not use building materials like concrete in our ponds and they involve no harmful chemicals for their upkeep.
Beautiful, natural ponds for all budgets
We design and create elegant, sustainable ecosystem water features for gardens of all sizes and all budgets. Our natural water features are ecofriendly, sustainable, attract wildlife & biodiversity.
Your own peaceful haven
Ecosystem ponds are naturally self sustaining with low maintenance as part of your regular garden routine.
They attract wildlife to your garden and provide an opportunity to have fish as family pets without the regular upkeep of a typical formal raised Koi pool with external filters and UVs etc..
Aquatic planting also broadens your garden horizons with a wide variety of high quality plant choices from our award winning quality aquatic plant suppliers.
