A well-designed water feature adds a focal point, masks road noise and creates a more relaxing garden. We install fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features across Dulwich, including East Dulwich and SE21. Whether your garden overlooks Dulwich Park or sits closer to Dulwich Village, we tailor the scale, sound and style to the space. Expect clean lines, discreet pipework and a finish that looks established, not newly built.
Dulwich’s affluent village atmosphere and outstanding period architecture call for thoughtful detailing. Many clients live in Georgian and Victorian houses with mature boundaries, as well as larger detached properties where a feature can anchor a wider landscape scheme. We regularly design around existing patios, steps and planting beds, keeping sightlines from kitchen extensions and garden rooms in mind. If access is tight through side returns, we plan deliveries and spoil removal to protect your home and neighbours.
We start with a site visit to discuss style, sound level, safety and maintenance, then provide a clear specification and itemised estimate. Our team handles excavation, electrics coordination, filtration and finishing, with tidy working practices throughout. Every installation is tested for flow, level and leaks before handover, and we show you how to run and care for it. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium materials and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Southwark can vary from compact plots in SE22 to larger lawns near Dulwich College. We account for drainage, run-off and levels so water stays where it should, even after heavy rain. Access and parking can be limited on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Where mature trees are present, we position features to reduce leaf drop into filters and ponds.

For water features dulwich area projects typically start from around £500 for a small self-contained fountain. Most bespoke installations in Dulwich fall between £1,000–£3,500, covering excavation, pump, electrics coordination and finishing. Larger ponds, multi-tier waterfalls or premium stonework can reach £5,000 depending on size, access and specification. We’ll recommend options to suit your garden and maintenance preferences.
Most installations take 2–5 days from groundworks to final testing. A simple fountain or pondless feature can be completed faster, while ponds with edging, planting shelves and filtration take longer. Timescales depend on excavation depth, access through the property, curing time for concrete or mortar, and whether we’re integrating lighting or a new power supply. We’ll confirm a programme before work starts.
In many cases, garden water features in London Borough of Southwark are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, major landscaping works, or if you’re altering boundaries and drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Southwark Council. Safety considerations, especially around ponds, are also discussed at design stage.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our water feature installations, covering issues arising from our build such as liner seating, edging stability and pipework routing. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll register and pass these details to you where applicable. We also test flow rates and water levels on completion and explain routine maintenance to keep everything running smoothly.
We offer contemporary designs with stainless steel spouts, rills and minimalist basins, as well as traditional styles using natural stone, brick and formal pond edging. Options include fountains, wildlife ponds, cascading waterfalls and pondless features with hidden reservoirs. We’ll help you choose based on garden size, desired sound level, child and pet safety, and how much maintenance you want. Lighting and planting can be added for year-round impact.
