A well-designed water feature adds a focal point, softens hard landscaping and attracts wildlife. We create fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features for homeowners across CR4, from Figges Marsh to Pollards Hill. Whether you want a subtle contemporary rill or a traditional pond edge, we tailor the layout to your garden’s shape and sunlight. Many clients ask for designs that feel at home near Mitcham Cricket Green’s classic character, and we can deliver that look without overwhelming the space.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two gardens are the same. We regularly design around narrow side access, existing patios and family lawns, keeping disruption low and finishes tidy. For period homes, we often specify traditional stone and planted margins; for newer builds, clean-lined basins and minimalist spillways work beautifully. If you’re near Mitcham Junction station and want a feature that reduces traffic noise, we can select pump flow rates to create a more masking sound.
We start with a site visit to discuss style, safety, running costs and maintenance. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering the build, electrics, filtration and any planting, with realistic timescales (typically 2–5 days). Our team works cleanly, protects existing surfaces and tests the system thoroughly before handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our installation work.
Across the London Borough of Merton, gardens can have variable drainage and compacted ground, especially on well-used lawns. We assess levels, soakaway options and splash zones so water stays where it should. Access and parking can be tight around Mitcham Common and residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where properties sit close together, we also consider neighbour boundaries and pump noise when positioning features.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects we install 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 with filtration, lighting and stonework can reach £5,000. Costs are influenced by access, groundwork, electrical supply, and whether you choose a pondless reservoir system or a fully planted pond with edging.
Typical installation takes 2–5 days for most gardens, covering excavation, base preparation, plumbing, electrics, and final finishing. A compact fountain or pondless feature may be completed in 2–3 days, while a pond with a waterfall, filtration and detailed edging usually needs closer to 4–5 days. Timescales can change with poor weather, difficult access, or if you add extras such as lighting, seating edges or additional planting.
In many cases, garden water features are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can vary if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work involves significant raised structures, boundary walls, or changes that affect drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues early and advise on best practice. If needed, we can help you check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Merton before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering the build elements we install such as structural construction, lining placement, and fitted pipework. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to supplied components like pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll pass those details on at handover. We also explain how to winterise and maintain the feature to protect performance long-term. If anything doesn’t look right, we respond quickly and resolve it.
We offer contemporary designs with clean basins, stainless steel spouts and porcelain surrounds, as well as traditional styles using natural stone, gravel margins and planted shelves. Popular choices include bubbling boulders, formal fountains, wildlife ponds, and cascading waterfalls. Pondless features are ideal where you want the sound of water with lower maintenance and improved safety. We’ll guide you through scale, finish and planting so the feature suits your home, budget and how you use the garden.
