A well-designed water feature changes how a garden feels, especially in family homes around Morden Park and the SM4 streets nearby. We install fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless systems that look intentional rather than “added on”. Whether you want a subtle rill by a patio or a statement piece you can hear from indoors, we tailor the layout to your space. Our builds are planned for low maintenance and reliable performance.
Morden has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates and newer developments, often with practical rear gardens and side access that suits compact builds. We regularly work across Morden Park, Lower Morden and St Helier, designing features that sit comfortably with both traditional planting and modern paving. If your garden is shaded, windy or overlooked, we’ll position the water element to maximise enjoyment and privacy. We can also integrate lighting so the feature works after dark.
We start with a site visit to check levels, electrics, drainage and where the feature will be viewed from most. You’ll receive clear options on style, size and running costs, then we schedule an efficient installation with tidy working practices. We pressure-test pipework, set safe electrics, and commission the pump and filtration before handover. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, clear communication and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Merton often have varied ground conditions and existing drainage runs, so we check excavation depths and soakaway performance before we build. Around Morden station and the surrounding SM4 roads, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for mature trees in parkside areas, which can affect roots and leaf fall. The result is a feature designed for real local conditions, not a one-size-fits-all kit.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most water features in Morden fall between £1,000–£3,500 depending on size, materials and complexity. Simple self-contained fountains can start from around £500, while larger ponds, waterfalls or bespoke contemporary designs can reach £5,000+. Costs typically include excavation, base preparation, pumpwork, electrics routing and commissioning. We’ll advise on options that fit your garden and your preferred maintenance level.
Installation usually takes 2–5 days. A compact fountain or pondless feature can often be completed in 2–3 days, while a lined pond with edging, planting shelves, filtration and a waterfall may take nearer 4–5 days. Timescales depend on access, how much digging is required, curing time for bases or mortar, and whether electrics or lighting are being added. We’ll confirm a clear schedule before work starts.
In many cases, garden water features are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, close to boundaries, altering significant levels, or adding structures that affect drainage or safety. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can help you check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Merton. We also ensure electrics are installed safely and appropriately.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed structure, including build quality, bases, edging and pipework installation. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll register or provide documentation where required. The warranty covers defects due to installation or construction issues, not damage from misuse, lack of winter care, or accidental impact. We also explain simple maintenance steps at handover.
We install everything from contemporary stainless-steel or stone fountains to traditional ponds with natural rock edging. Popular choices include formal reflecting bowls, rills, corten-style looks, wildlife ponds, and pondless waterfalls with hidden reservoirs. We can match finishes to your paving and planting, and add LED lighting for evening impact. During design, we’ll help you choose the right scale, sound level and maintenance setup for your garden.
