Clapham gardens come in all shapes, from paved courtyards near Clapham Old Town to family plots close to Clapham Common. We create fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features that add sound, sparkle and a clear focal point without taking over the space. Whether you want a contemporary blade-style spillway or a traditional stone bowl, we tailor the scale to your layout. We regularly work across SW4 and SW11, so we know what suits local homes.
Local properties range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with terraces and balconies. That mix calls for flexible design: slimline wall fountains for smaller patios, wildlife-friendly ponds for larger gardens, or self-contained pondless features where children’s safety is a priority. We also plan for existing paving levels, basement lightwells and shared boundaries that are common around Clapham North and Clapham Park. The result is a feature that looks intentional, not squeezed in.
We start with a site visit to check levels, power supply, and the best viewing angles from your kitchen or seating area. You’ll receive a clear specification covering pump type, filtration, edging and finishes, plus guidance on maintenance. Our team protects paving and planting, keeps noise and mess down, and leaves the area clean and ready to enjoy. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Water features clapham area often need careful planning for access, as many Victorian terraces have narrow side returns and stepped patios. We factor in parking and delivery timing near Clapham Junction station and busier streets, and we keep materials manageable for restricted entrances. Ground conditions vary, so we build stable bases and allow for drainage to avoid settlement and overflow. We also align designs with expectations for water features in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, including considerate noise levels and safe electrics.

Most installations fall between £1,000 and £3,500, with an overall range of £500–£5,000 depending on size and complexity. A small self-contained fountain or pondless feature is usually at the lower end, while larger ponds, waterfalls, stonework surrounds and upgraded filtration increase costs. Access, electrical work, and whether we’re integrating lighting or new paving also affect the final figure.
Typical projects take 2–5 days from groundworks to commissioning the pump and testing water flow. Compact fountains and pondless features can be completed quickly, while ponds and multi-tier waterfalls take longer due to excavation, lining, edging and filtration setup. Timings can change based on access through narrow side passages, the amount of stonework, and whether we’re coordinating electrics or additional landscaping.
In many cases, a domestic water feature in a rear garden is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, front gardens, or if you’re altering boundaries, drainage or electrics in a way that triggers other approvals. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the site visit and can advise on what to check with Lambeth or Wandsworth before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as structural build quality, base preparation and fitting of liners or pipework where applicable. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll supply the relevant documentation. The warranty assumes normal use and basic maintenance, and we’ll explain simple care steps to keep water clear and running smoothly.
Options include contemporary stainless-steel blades, porcelain or granite water walls, traditional stone bowls, rill-style channels, wildlife-friendly ponds, and pondless cascades with hidden reservoirs. We can also add subtle LED lighting and discreet filtration depending on your priorities. During design, we match finishes to your paving and planting, consider sound levels for neighbours, and size the feature so it suits your garden rather than dominating it.
