A well-placed water feature can transform an ordinary patio into a relaxing outdoor room. We design and build fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features for homeowners across SW16, including near Norbury station and Norbury Park. Whether you want gentle trickling sound for a quiet corner or a statement centrepiece, we tailor the scale and style to your garden. Every installation is planned for safe electrics, tidy pipework and easy maintenance.
Norbury homes often have compact rear gardens and side access that needs careful planning for materials and spoil removal. We regularly work with Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and Victorian conversions, where levels, drains and existing patios can vary from plot to plot. If you’re in Streatham Vale, Thornton Heath or Pollards Hill, we’ll recommend designs that make the most of your footprint without overwhelming it. Our local experience helps us balance aesthetics, noise, and practical upkeep for family gardens.
We start with a site visit, design options and a clear written breakdown of costs and timescales. Our team handles excavation, bases, liners, pumps, filtration, electrics and finishing details, then tests everything before handover. You’ll get straightforward guidance on cleaning, winter care and running costs. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on our installation work.
Working locally means we understand access constraints around Norbury High Street and the mix of front drives and shared side paths. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, drainage routes and where to conceal pipework before we dig. We also plan deliveries and parking to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. If any rules apply for electrics, boundaries or water run-off, we’ll flag them early and adapt the design accordingly.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most water features in the Norbury area fall between £1,000 and £3,500, depending on size, finish and complexity. Simple self-contained fountains can start around £500, while larger ponds, waterfalls or bespoke contemporary builds can reach £5,000. Costs are influenced by excavation, access, stonework, pumps, filtration, electrics and edging details. We provide a clear range after a site visit, with options to scale up or down.
Typical installation time is 2–5 days for most gardens in SW16. A compact fountain or pondless feature may be completed in 2–3 days, while a pond with filtration, planting shelves and a waterfall can take closer to 4–5 days. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, curing time for bases, and whether we’re integrating the feature with paving or lighting. We’ll confirm a schedule before work begins.
In many cases, domestic garden water features are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, exceptions can apply, such as listed buildings, conservation considerations, major changes to levels, or work close to boundaries that affects drainage. Electrical work must also be installed safely and appropriately. We’ll advise on what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Croydon and can help you check requirements before starting.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering the build elements we install such as bases, edging, structural setting-out and concealed pipe runs. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, filters and lighting, and we’ll pass those details to you at handover. We also test the system thoroughly and show you how to operate and maintain it, helping reduce issues over time.
We offer both contemporary designs and traditional styles, including stone or porcelain-clad fountains, rill-style water channels, wildlife ponds with natural edging, and compact pondless cascades. Popular finishes include natural stone, slate, stainless steel and rendered features, chosen to match your paving and planting. We’ll bring ideas based on your garden’s layout, sunlight and noise preferences, then recommend pumps and filtration that suit your desired look and maintenance level.
