Ponds & Water Features
Pond Design and Installation
Water features and ponds bring movement, sound, and a natural sense of balance to a garden, creating a strong visual focal point. As pond designers and pond installers, we design and build bespoke ponds and water features for homeowners looking to enhance their outdoor space with something both functional and visually engaging.
From wildlife pond design to modern water features, each installation is designed to suit the layout, planting, and long-term use of the garden. Working in Lincoln, Gainsborough, Scunthorpe, Sleaford, and surrounding areas, our team handles the full process, including pond design, excavation, lining, filtration systems, and planting.
Maintenance depends on the type of pond or feature. As garden designers and landscapers, we provide ongoing pond and water feature maintenance plans, helping to keep water clear, systems running correctly, and planting under control throughout the year.
Wildlife Ponds & Water Features
Common options include wildlife ponds, ornamental ponds, water bowls, rills and cascading features. The right choice depends on space, maintenance expectations and the look you want to achieve, so we design each pond or water feature to suit the layout, planting and long-term use of the garden.
Ponds can be made safe in a family garden with careful positioning, shallow edges and design features such as raised sides or protective grilles. Most ponds and water features operate all year round, with pumps adjusted or protected during freezing conditions. When installed correctly, with lining and drainage planned in, a pond will not cause drainage problems elsewhere in the garden.
See our garden design page for how a water feature fits into a full garden plan. Our guide to attracting wildlife into your garden covers planting and features that work alongside a wildlife pond.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of ponds and water features do you install?
Common options include wildlife ponds, ornamental ponds, water bowls, rills, and cascading features. The right choice depends on space, maintenance expectations, and the look you want to achieve.
Do ponds require a lot of maintenance?
Pond maintenance depends on the type of pond or water feature. Wildlife ponds are generally low maintenance, while ornamental ponds may require occasional cleaning and pump checks.
Are ponds safe in a family garden?
Ponds can be made safe with careful positioning, shallow edges, and design features such as raised sides or protective grilles, particularly in gardens with children.
Can a pond or water feature be used all year round?
Yes. Most ponds and water features can operate year-round, although pumps may need to be adjusted or protected during freezing conditions.
Do water features cause garden drainage issues?
When installed correctly, ponds and water features should not cause drainage problems. Correct lining, overflow planning, and ground preparation are key.
Can a water feature be added to an existing garden?
Yes. Water bowls, rills and cascading features can be added to an existing patio or planting area, and a pond can be built into a new or existing garden layout. We assess the ground and drainage first.
Do you offer pond maintenance?
Yes. We provide ongoing pond and water feature maintenance plans covering water clarity, pump and filtration checks and planting, so the feature stays as it was built.
Do you plant the pond as well as build it?
Yes. Planting is part of the installation, chosen to suit a wildlife pond or an ornamental pond and kept under control through the maintenance plan.
Do wildlife ponds need a pump?
Not always. Wildlife ponds are generally low maintenance and can run without filtration, while ornamental ponds usually need a pump, occasional cleaning and pump checks.
Which areas do you cover for ponds and water features?
Lincoln, Gainsborough, Scunthorpe, Sleaford and the surrounding areas across Lincolnshire.
