Before and After #1 below…

We only ever use reclaimed natural stone, such as these examples, saved from the crusher from the likes of HS2! And then hand-worked, by our skilled pond builders, as you cannot buy rock, off the shelf, from Merchants,to create such naturalistic quality as you see here! And we NEVER use massive amounts of easy to have delivered, bulk bags of pebbles and cobbles raped from the countryside and beaches of the UK!

Here’s the UK’S largest collection, BY FAR…of real, meaning OUR OWN (not CAD generated),

inspirational images, compared to…

ALL OTHER UK POND “SPECIALISTS” PUT TOGETHER!

Have you got a smelly bog in your garden? Well, call us. We have seen it all, and nothing scares us, given the budget, as these issues are not a quick fix! OLD ONES FIXED, CLEANED, DE-SLUDGED, REPLANTED, and ALL IN A DAYS (VERY DIFFICULT) WORK…that others run away from! But amazingly satisfying (OR SO WE TELL THEM) for the staff to achieve results like these

Above and Below…to get your bearings, note the hidden shed and the grey shrub top right. Heavily planted, but not much showing yet. Waterfall in distance fed via a filter

BUT MAYBE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE FORMAL LIKE THESE?

And no, the above giant Koi Pond doesn’t have a leak it’s being filled…which gives us the opportunity to show you the construction of the stepping stones, caped as are the edgings with high-quality real Yorkstone hand cut to fit by Rand&AsquithBefore and After #2…example of a pond edged with ugly “unnatural” chunky rock like a row of broken teeth! But seen worse…and below our remake using flat slate laid with layered strata…as you would see in wild in The Lake District

WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER WAKE UP TO EVERY MORNING OURS OR This below… AHHHH, that is awful, “PROFESSIONALLY Built and clearly proud of it,  and sold as natural, WE DON’T THINK SO and worse, described as “STUNNING” well the only way it could be stunning is if you tripped laughing and banged your head on a large pebble.

We can just imagine the Pond Builder saying, what do you mean it isn’t natural we’ve arranged it perfectly naturally down to the last pebble, Love!!! Well, we DO use as you will see, Cobbles but sparingly, for wildlife beaches, here they have used about FIVE TONS…so what would you rather wake up to EVERY MORNING that monstrosity above or ours below!
SUPERB RENOVATIONS,  MAKEOVERS & MAJOR REPAIRS… could yours be any worse than these? AND DON’T WORRY NOTHING SCARES US WE HAVE SEEN AND BEUATIFIED THEM ALL!

This is RUSTY the Gordon Setter, the family dog, a Company Mascot. You will see him on all jobs, with your permission!

Yes really this is a “before and after”…to get your bearing note the distant gate SUPERB RENOVATIONS and MAKEOVERS from £12k to £50k+ for large complex projects!

DE-SILT – DE-SLUDGE – RE-LINE – REPLANT- BEAUTIFY (So do NOT give up hope as you will see, nothing beats us we have seen it all)

(SEE  PORTFOLIO #2 AND BELOW) BEFORE AFTER We are also Horticultural Aquatic and Moisture Loving Planting Experts HERE IS A SELECTION OF NATURAL WATERFALLS…FOLLOWED BY SOME HORRORS THEN DECIDE WHAT YOU WOULD RATHER WAKE UP TO OURS…Ours No1 No2 No3 Ours No4 & 5 ABOVE A MELLOW NATURAL STONE POND WAITING TO BE PLANTED Ours N06…which was, one year earlier, just a lawn! Ours 7 8 9 10 below SO, WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER WAKE UP TO EVERY MORNING OUR’S ABOVE

OR THESE “PROFESSIONALLY” PRODUCED HORRORS BELOW, SUCH AS THIS “STUNNING”  (THEIR WORDS NOT OURS) MONSTROSITY… created without a shred of artistic naturalistic insight, or care for the environment.

We accept that we do use a very small amount of pebbles, mostly quarried, which CAN be used to create a naturalistic wildlife beach…but here they have used about 4TONS and these are real beach cobbles and worse GLACIAL BOULDERS, probably, taken illegally off a sea shore somewhere by dealers…whereas we use saved, reclaimed stone

WHICH ARE BASICALLY HOLES FILLED WITH UNSUSTAINABLE GLACIAL PEBBLES!!! *Whereas ours are made from reclaimed rock which would have been crushed for hardcore if we had not saved it!

Project history… the clients moved to a house with stunning views (see below) apart from this! Before and after…note the distant yellow shrub, to get your bearings for the transformation AND THE SAME SITUATION AGAIN, JUST WORSE!!!Before and After…we don’t run away, nothing scares us, we have seen and fixed them all before however impossible YOU may think! (See 100+ examples in Portfolio No2) such as …PONDS AND WATER FEATURES OF CHARACTER…NEVER BLAND NEVER ORDINARY WE DO STAND ALONE PONDS and WATER FEATURES and LANDCAPING or BOTH TOGETHER as BELOW… Admired and commented on by the best TV Gardeners! AND ALWAYS AT COMPETITIVE PRICES DESPITE THAT, PONDS, NATURAL ROCK STREAMS THAT LOOK JUST RIGHT AND AGAIN NOT SIMPLY HOLES SURROUNDED BY GLACIAL BOULDERS AND TONS OF PEBBLE, that start from £12k* up to wherever your imagination and space take you, we LOVE recreating nature NATURALLY! And Note ALL OF OUR ROCK IS RECLAIMED and saved from the crushers and, therefore, sustainable, unlike the common practice of using tons of precious glacial boulders and beach cobbles…which are very easy to order via Pallett Line and use! Whereas, we hand-pick from the QUARRIES one piece at a time to recreate ours AND BELOW ANOTHER…with us, natural beauty comes as standard! SO AGAIN…WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER WAKE UP TO? OUR RECREATION OF NATURAL BEAUTY IN YOUR BACKYARD, or these “Professional Built” monstrosities THIS TIME THEY HAVE FILLED IN THIS HOLE BY POURING IN ABOUT 8 TONS WE BUILD FORMAL PONDS AND RILLS ALL TYPES ALL SIZES
MEDIUM to HUGE RENOVATIONS DE-SILT. DE-SLUDGE. RE-LINE. RE-PLANT WE ALSO DO POND AND STREAM RENOVATIONS TOO… DE-SILTING, REPLANTING and MAKEOVERS HOWEVER BAD. COULD YOURS BE ANY WORSE THAN THESE!!! (SEE PORTFOLIO 1 FOR THE FULL SELECTION OF BEFORE AND AFTERS)

ESSEX…SOMEWHERE UNDER THERE IS A BRIDGE AND AN ISLAND…oh, here it is!

OH DEAR ABOVE…and that’s a bit better below! More of this beauty later!

Here you will find ANY size and style of any pond, stream and water feature that you can imagine and some you couldn’t

And UNLIKE ALL other pond-building companies, we have AT LEAST 2000%+ more pictures of our work to show you! WHY WOULD THAT BE? LARGE MEDIUM AND SMALL ABOVE AND BELOW WE DO THEM ALL… Here you will find ANY size and style of any pond, stream and water feature Look how beautifully natural that is and of course, again, its all to do with the planting…as is with all of our ponds and gardens The above is a broader view, from the house patio, and just out of view to the right is an outdoor pond-side dining area

Non-invasive, will only grow in a particular environment. And as HORTICULTURAL pond builders, we have to know how to dig/create that in the design and then at the digging out stage…how often do we hear…  Q…”Oh why can’t I plant around my pond”, A…well that’s because you engaged a man with a digger who is good at digging cheap holes or  a basic Landscaper/Pond Builder, or dare we say it The Man of The House!!!! Or worse your Builder “While we are here doing your extension we can do your pond” ALL PLANTING IS AN ART, none more difficult than aquatic and bog planting WE HAVE THAT ART and it’s available to you. Too shallow they die too deep they die! BASIC pond builders do not have a clue about this! And if you do not have that Horticultural Aquatic and Bog planting experience this is what you get by planting the WRONG plants in the wrong depths Next FORMAL PONDS RILLS and CANALS from £18.000 to POA ONE-STOP SITE FOR THE VERY BEST IN PONDS, WATER GARDENS and FEATURES HERE’S A FORMAL KOI POND SET INTO A FORMAL GARDEN… which was once a lawn and driveway! And below a Formal Rill plus add-ons (believe it or not that is a clients drive and parking space, very imaginative, we say modestly) with a Natural Pond in the background…see both later Despite that we are a family-run business, so you will always get a highly personal service, with experience unsurpassed, which is easy to write, so as the saying goes “go compare” and feel the difference We do them all…LARGE and SMALL NATURAL AND FORMAL Before and after…and it’s all about the design, which is INCLUDED FREE OF CHARGE! AND HOW WE PLANT IT OF COURSE! TOWN WALLED GARDEN WITH LANDSCAPING AND POND DESIGN AND BUILD LOOKING TO GET YOUR HORROR OF A POND BACK TO IT’S FORMER GLORY…WE CAN HELP…always given the budget NEED A POND RENOVATION…FINISHED POND RENOVATIONS ARE FURTHER BELOW…nothing daunts us SEE HOW WE FIXED AND BEAUTIFIED THEM FURTHER ON…

RENOVATION TO A LARGE WOODLAND WILDLIFE POND THAT HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS WHEN IT WAS A NATURALLY FED FARM POND CHELMSFORD Essex We were asked by Lady Warner (a very keen gardener) to sort out a very amateurishly lined pond made by “PROFESSIONAL POND BUILDERS” which even when FILLED TO OVERFLOWING at one end there was still about 18″ of liner visible at the other…and this is what we created. AND BELOW ANOTHER “PROPER” WILDLIFE POND…JUST TWO YEARS AFTER COMPLETED…Stow-on-the-Wold Cotswolds…by our GLOUCESTERSHIRE TEAM AND BELOW…SHURDINGTON ALSO GLOUCESTERSHIRE BELOW WE HAVE A WOODLAND JAPANESE-THEMED KOI POND Stanmore Middlesex

RAISED PONDS

 Below is some “Pond Specialists” idea of a “Natural Pond”… and that’s their “wildlife beach” that you can see we are emptying! Well, the pebble/cobble masters, are at it again…this time in unison with William the Concreter…

oh so natural! Dig a hole, line with concrete IN A WILDLIFE POND WHAT! Tip 10 tons of cobbles in, and done! Or stick then down (as here) with even more caustic concrete And below this, is OUR transformation just one-year laterTOWN GARDEN LEEDS, YORKSHIRE

Ohhhhh, dear, this we were told… IS a NATURAL STREAM…what else could it be!!! We can hear the “pond specialist” saying to the client, what do you mean it doesn’t look natural, concretes natural, isn’t it! Nooooo, these are OUR natural streams
ANOTHER ONE OF OURS BELOW, THIS IS POURING INTO, WHAT IS CALLED A “PONDLESS” WATER FEATURE…also good for a child safe feature, in this case though, for a terminally ill man, in a wheelchair, who for obvious reasons did not want deep water next to his Patio but who did have a lovely dream of being able to sit before a natural stream again, which otherwise would be impossible in a wheelchair!

THE ABOVE IS A NATURALISTIC STREAM IN IT’S FULL JUNE GLORY, AMAZING (imagine the wildlife living in and around that) IN A COTSWOLDS COUNTRY GARDEN, THIS IS AFTER JUST TWO YEARS OF PLANTING.

Oh, and we also planted the borders next to it, so dry soil plants merging with aquatic’s SEAMLESSLY, now that is NATURALISTIC PLANTING ART, AND THAT IS WHAT WE DO!

And Below in LEEDS West Yorkshire A NATURALISTIC TOWN GARDEN (yes really this is an Estate Town Garden) WHERE THE CLIENTS ASKED US TO BRING NATURE INTO THE CITY…and in the foreground you can see a large wildlife pond with a stone handmade bench of Lakeland Green Slate to sit and contemplate!
