Carshalton’s historic waterscapes, from Carshalton Ponds to the green spaces around The Grove, show how a well-placed feature can transform a view. We create bespoke fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features that feel right for your garden’s scale. Whether you want a subtle contemporary ripple or a traditional pond with planting shelves, we tailor the design to your home. We regularly work across SM5, including Carshalton Beeches and Wallington.
Homes in Carshalton range from Victorian and Edwardian properties to 1930s semis, each with different garden proportions and access points. We design water features to complement period brickwork, mature borders and formal lawns, without overpowering them. For smaller plots, a pondless feature or wall fountain can deliver sound and movement with minimal footprint. For larger gardens, we can integrate streams, cascades and wildlife-friendly planting zones.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage, power routes and where the feature will be seen from indoors. We then provide a clear specification covering liners, pumps, filtration, edging and safety details, plus a realistic programme (typically 2–5 days). Installations are built for reliability, with tidy cable management and easy-access maintenance points. Local homeowners choose us for careful workmanship, clean handover, and dependable aftercare just 15 minutes from our Norbury base.
We’re familiar with the mix of clay-heavy and compacted soils found across the London Borough of Sutton, which affects excavation, settling and drainage. Access can be tight on residential roads around Hackbridge and SM5, so we plan deliveries, parking and spoil removal to keep disruption low. Where gardens sit close to neighbouring boundaries, we manage splash, noise and pump placement carefully. If your property has mature trees, we design filtration and edging to cope with leaf fall.

Most projects in the water features Carshalton area fall between £500 and £5,000, depending on size and complexity. A typical spend is £1,000–£3,500 for a quality fountain, compact pond, or a pondless cascade with a reliable pump and proper base. Costs vary with excavation, stone or porcelain choices, lighting, filtration, and whether electrical supply needs upgrading or extending.
Most installations take 2–5 days, covering groundworks, base preparation, plumbing, electrics coordination, and finishing details such as edging and planting pockets. A small self-contained fountain can be quicker, while ponds and waterfalls take longer due to excavation, liner fitting and filtration setup. Timescales also depend on access for materials, weather, and whether we’re integrating lighting or a new patio surround.
In many cases, garden water features are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within the rear garden and not altering listed structures. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re making significant changes to levels, boundaries or drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on checks with the London Borough of Sutton where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed structure, including base preparation, lining/edging integrity and build quality. Manufacturer warranties apply to pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll supply the relevant documentation at handover. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage or lack of basic maintenance, but we design systems to be easy to clean and service, and we’re available for aftercare support.
We offer contemporary designs using porcelain, sawn sandstone and stainless details, as well as traditional styles with natural stone edging, pebbles and planting shelves. Options include wall fountains, formal reflecting bowls, wildlife-friendly ponds, stepped waterfalls and discreet pondless features with hidden reservoirs. We’ll help you choose based on garden size, the look of your property, maintenance preferences, and where you want sound and movement to be strongest.
