A well-placed water feature can transform a patio, lawn edge or courtyard into a focal point that feels purposeful all year round. We create bespoke fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features for homeowners across SM2 and SM3. Whether you’re near Cheam Village or enjoy weekend walks in Nonsuch Park, we’ll design something that complements your outdoor space rather than overpowering it. Every installation is planned for safe electrics, reliable circulation and easy maintenance.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and executive homes calls for thoughtful design choices and careful detailing. For compact gardens in North Cheam, pondless designs and wall fountains deliver impact without taking up valuable space. Larger plots around Worcester Park and Ewell can accommodate wildlife ponds, streams and multi-level cascades. We tailor finishes—stone, porcelain, brick or rendered surrounds—to match existing pathways, terraces and architectural features.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, sunlight, access and where the feature will be enjoyed most from indoors and out. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering design, materials, electrics, filtration and aftercare, with costs kept within your chosen range. Our team works cleanly and efficiently, protecting lawns and paving and keeping neighbours in mind. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, high build standards and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Working in the water features cheam area means planning for mixed ground conditions, from compacted soils to established tree roots near older plots. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep everything compliant. We also consider run-off, nearby drains and safe cable routes for outdoor electrics. If your property sits close to conservation-sensitive areas around Cheam Village, we’ll advise on sympathetic materials and positioning.

Most projects in Cheam fall within £1,000–£3,500, depending on size, materials and complexity. Simple self-contained fountains or pondless features can start from around £500. Larger ponds with filtration, stone edging, planting and lighting, or multi-tier waterfalls, can reach £5,000.

Typical installation takes 2–5 days. A small fountain or pondless feature is often completed in 2–3 days, while a pond with edging, filtration, planting and a waterfall may take 4–5 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete bases, complexity of stonework, and any electrical work required. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden water features are permitted and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re freestanding and within a typical rear garden. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where boundary walls and significant ground works are involved. We also consider safety, drainage and electrical compliance. As part of our service, we’ll flag any potential Sutton council considerations and advise on the best approach before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as ground preparation, structural build, and setting of surrounds and edging. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, filters, liners and lighting, and we’ll pass all documentation to you at handover. We also show you how to operate and maintain the system to avoid common issues. If anything related to our installation needs attention, we respond promptly.

You can also add LEDs, bubbling stones, wildlife planting and discreet pondless reservoirs. We’ll guide you on style, scale and sound level so the feature suits your garden layout and maintenance preferences.
