A well-placed water feature can change how your garden feels—adding sound, sparkle and a focal point you’ll enjoy daily. We design and build fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features across SE6, with layouts that work for compact patios and longer rear gardens. Many clients near Catford Broadway want something low-maintenance but impactful. We can also create a feature that complements planting schemes and lighting for evening use.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council homes means garden shapes and access vary widely. In Hither Green and Grove Park, we often work with narrow side returns and stepped levels, so we plan deliveries and positioning carefully. For smaller courtyards, a self-contained contemporary bowl or wall spout can deliver the water sound without taking up planting space. For larger plots, a pond or stream effect can be scaled to feel natural rather than oversized.
We start with a site visit to discuss style, sound level, safety and maintenance, then provide a clear specification and itemised estimate. Installation typically includes proper base preparation, electrics coordination where needed, pump setup and water testing, plus guidance on seasonal care. Our team works cleanly and protects paths, lawns and borders throughout. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication, tidy finishes and a long-term result that performs as well as it looks.

Where gardens are terraced or sloped, we use level changes to create natural-looking cascades.

Simple self-contained fountains can start from around £500, while larger ponds, waterfalls or premium stone and stainless designs can reach £5,000.

Typical installation takes 2–5 days. A compact fountain or pondless feature is often completed in 2–3 days, while a pond with edging, filtration and a small waterfall usually needs 4–5 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for bases, weather, access through side passages, and whether additional works are included such as paving alterations, planting, or new outdoor power supplies.
In many cases, garden water features are permitted and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re within your boundary and not altering a listed structure. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, major level changes, or if electrics and drainage are being significantly altered. We’ll flag any likely issues during the site visit and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as structural settling, base preparation faults, and installation-related leaks or failures.

We also show you how to run and maintain the system to reduce wear, prevent blockages, and keep water quality stable throughout the year.
We offer contemporary and traditional styles, including stone bowls, rills, corten or stainless spillways, natural rock waterfalls, formal ponds, and pondless reservoirs with hidden grilles. Finishes can be matched to existing paving and brickwork, or used as a contrast feature. We’ll help you choose based on garden size, desired sound level, maintenance preference, and safety needs—then design the layout so pumps, pipework and filtration stay discreet.
