We create bespoke fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features that add a focal point without overwhelming the garden.

Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments means gardens vary hugely in size and access. In Blackheath and Ladywell, we often work with established planting and period paving that needs careful integration. In SE13 developments, compact courtyards benefit from contemporary, space-saving designs and pondless options. Our team balances aesthetics, practicality and noise levels so the feature feels right for your property.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sunlight, nearby trees and the best viewing angles from the house. You’ll receive clear recommendations on style, pump specification, filtration and child/pet safety, plus a realistic budget and programme. We protect surfaces, keep disruption low, and test everything thoroughly before handover. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, high-end finishes and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

We also design with nearby trees and leaf fall in mind, specifying appropriate filtration and skimming. For clients in the water features Lewisham area, we build with durability and low maintenance as priorities.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most water features in Lewisham fall between £1,000 and £3,500, depending on size, materials and complexity. Simple self-contained fountains can start from around £500, while larger ponds, waterfalls or premium contemporary builds can reach £5,000+. Costs are influenced by groundwork, access, electrical supply, filtration, and whether you choose stone cladding, stainless steel, or bespoke masonry.
Typical installation takes 2–5 days for most projects, including groundwork, lining or reservoir setup, pump installation and testing. Smaller fountain or pondless features may be completed faster, while ponds with planting shelves, rockwork, or complex waterfalls can take longer. Timescales also depend on access in terrace gardens, curing time for concrete or mortar, and any additional landscaping such as paving or lighting.
Most domestic garden water features are usually permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re not raised significantly or affecting boundaries. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering drainage or structures. We’ll flag anything that may require checks and can advise on good practice for electrics and water management. If needed, we’ll help you confirm requirements with the council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as structural build, lining or reservoir fitting, and correct integration with surrounding landscaping. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll supply the relevant documentation. We also commission and test the system on completion, showing you how to operate and maintain it to keep everything running reliably.
You can choose from contemporary designs like stainless steel blades, formal rills and minimalist bowls, or traditional styles using natural stone, brick and rockery planting. Options include wildlife-friendly ponds, formal reflecting pools, waterfalls, and pondless features that suit homes with children or limited space. We’ll guide you on scale, sound level, finishes and planting, and specify pumps and filtration to match the look you want.
