Attract wildlife.

Water features and wildlife ponds will sustain and enhance the landscape for existing birds & mammals and attract new wildlife with the food, water, bathing spots and habitat that they offer.

This can be achieved in any home garden or estate grounds with some careful thought, experience and understanding.

Relative to their size ponds hold a disproportionately high level of species richness and offer more biodiversity than larger ecosystems such as rivers.

The wildlife attracted can often also help you in the battle against slugs and snails.

Water Features & Small Garden Ponds

There are few limits to the creativity for a water feature and small garden ponds aside from space. Starting from overflowing pots filled with lilies to small scrapes and ponds working around your existing garden.

Wildlife Ponds

Offering several levels and depths will give suitable spaces for mammals such as frogs, toads and newts to follow their natural lifecycles, hunting, breeding and over wintering.

Profiling the edges of your pond and streams, the inclusion of rocks, log piles, native aquatic & bog plants will give a fully working ecosystem.

Pond lining can be in several forms from butyl rubber, geo-synthetic clay liner and sodium bentonite, all offering different benefits.

Natural Swimming Pools

A natural swimming pool will not only offer the wildlife benefits of a pond but also offers you the chance for a healthy, sustainable and self cleaning bathing spot.
