A well-placed water feature can transform a patio view, soften road noise and create a calm focal point for entertaining. We install fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features across BR7, including gardens near Chislehurst Common and the approach to St Nicholas Church. Whether you want a subtle rill by the terrace or a statement cascade, we tailor the scale to your space. Every design is planned for year-round impact, not just summer weekends.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties often have generous rear gardens and mature planting, which calls for water features that feel proportionate and timeless. In Elmstead and Mottingham we regularly work with long lawns, established borders and varied levels, ideal for streams and stepped falls. For more compact courtyards or side returns, we recommend slimline contemporary bowls or wall spouts. We match materials and detailing to your home’s character so the feature looks intentional, not added on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, power supply, access and where the feature will be enjoyed most. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering design, excavation, liners or reservoirs, pumps, filtration and finishing surrounds. Our team works cleanly, protects existing planting and keeps disruption to a minimum over a typical 2–5 day build. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat edges and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley can vary from free-draining sandy soils to heavier clay pockets, which affects how we build bases, liners and overflow routes. Access in BR7 can involve narrow side passages and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and spoil removal to keep things smooth. We also consider mature trees around Chislehurst Common-style plots, positioning features to reduce leaf drop and simplify maintenance. If electrics need upgrading, we coordinate safe outdoor-rated connections for pumps and lighting.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in the Chislehurst area fall between £1,000 and £3,500, depending on size, materials and complexity. Simple self-contained fountains or small pondless features can start from around £500. Larger ponds with filtration, rockwork waterfalls, upgraded lighting and premium stone surrounds can reach £5,000+. After a site visit we’ll advise on options that fit your garden and budget without compromising reliability.
Typical installation takes 2–5 days. A compact fountain or pondless feature may be completed in 2 days, while a pond with edging, planting, filtration and a multi-step waterfall usually needs longer. Timescales depend on excavation depth, access for materials, weather, and whether you want electrical feeds, lighting or new paving around the feature. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work begins.
Most garden water features are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially if they’re within your private rear garden. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if works affect boundaries, drainage or protected trees. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bromley where needed. Safety and compliant electrics are always prioritised.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering the installation of structural elements such as bases, edging, reservoirs and liner fitting where applicable. Manufacturer warranties apply to pumps, filters and lights, and we’ll register products where required. To keep everything running smoothly, we also explain routine care and winter precautions. If an issue relates to our install, we’ll return promptly to put it right.
We offer traditional and contemporary designs, including stone cascades, formal ponds, stainless-steel spouts, ceramic bowls and sleek rills. Surrounds can be finished with natural stone, porcelain paving, brick edging or gravel to suit your garden style. For low maintenance, pondless features with hidden reservoirs are popular, while wildlife-friendly ponds suit larger plots. We’ll guide you on scale, sound level, placement and lighting for the effect you want.
