Crystal Palace gardens often deserve a focal point that matches the area’s creative energy and elevated setting. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Anerley, a well-designed water feature adds calm, masks traffic noise and draws wildlife. We install fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features that look intentional rather than “dropped in”. Work is planned around your layout, light levels and how you actually use the space.
Local homes in SE19 and SE20 include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions with characterful but varied garden levels. We regularly work with narrow side access, stepped patios and established planting that needs protecting. If your garden sits on a slope towards Gipsy Hill or has a compact courtyard in Upper Norwood, we’ll propose designs that fit the footprint without feeling cramped. Our approach balances aesthetics with practical maintenance for busy households.
We start with a site visit to check levels, power options, drainage and the best viewing angles from your kitchen and seating areas. You’ll receive a clear specification covering construction, liners/reservoirs, pumps, filtration and safe electrics, plus a realistic programme (typically 2–5 days). We keep disruption low with tidy working and careful waste removal. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, build properly, and stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty.
Crystal Palace sits across the London Borough of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, so access and rules can vary street by street. We plan deliveries around tighter roads, resident parking controls and limited frontages common to period properties. Many gardens are sloped or terraced, so we set levels carefully to avoid splash, overflow and uneven settling. We also factor in nearby trees and leaf fall when specifying filtration and maintenance.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most water features in Crystal Palace fall between £1,000 and £3,500, depending on size, materials and whether you choose a pond, pondless reservoir, or a multi-tier waterfall. Smaller self-contained fountains can start from around £500, while larger ponds with filtration, stone edging and planting can reach £5,000+. We’ll recommend options that match your garden and maintenance preferences.
Installation usually takes 2–5 days. A simple fountain or pondless feature can often be completed in 2–3 days, while a lined pond with edging, planting shelves, and a small waterfall may take closer to 4–5 days. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, the amount of excavation, electrical routing, and whether we’re integrating the feature into existing paving or planting.
In most cases, garden water features are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works involve significant structures, boundary changes, or drainage alterations. Because Crystal Palace spans multiple boroughs, we check the relevant council guidance and advise early, so your design stays compliant and hassle-free.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as construction defects, edging movement caused by installation, and leaks from incorrectly fitted liners or reservoirs. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, lights and filters, and we’ll register or provide documentation where required. We also explain winter care and basic maintenance to help your feature run smoothly year-round.
We build everything from contemporary stainless or stone bowl fountains to traditional ponds with natural rock edging and planting. Popular options include rill-style runs, compact wall spouts, cascading waterfalls, and pondless features with hidden reservoirs for low maintenance. Materials can range from sawn sandstone and granite to reclaimed brick and decorative aggregates. We’ll guide you on scale, sound level, finish and upkeep to suit your garden.
