A well-placed water feature can transform a patio view, soften road noise and create a calm focal point for entertaining. We design and install fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features across CR8, including homes near Purley Cross and Purley Oaks. Whether you want a subtle bubbling bowl or a statement cascade, we tailor the scale to your space. Every build is planned for easy maintenance and reliable performance.
Purley’s leafy setting at the foot of the North Downs means gardens often have level changes, mature planting and varied soil conditions. We regularly work on large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes across Kenley, Sanderstead and Coulsdon, where layouts range from generous lawns to compact side returns. Our designs respect existing architecture, whether that’s traditional brickwork and stone or cleaner modern lines. The result is a feature that feels like it belongs, not an add-on.
We start with a site visit to agree the look, sound level and placement, then confirm power, water supply and safe cable routes. Installation is tidy and efficient, with clear daily progress updates and a full handover on cleaning, winter care and running costs. We use proven pumps, liners and filtration to reduce call-backs and keep water clear. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, careful finishing and long-term support.
In the water features Purley area, gradients and clay-heavy patches are common, especially near Riddlesdown, so we plan stable bases and proper drainage. Access can be tight on some drives, so we schedule deliveries and spoil removal to minimise disruption. We also consider splash zones, boundary distances and noise for close neighbours. Where needed, we’ll advise on any London Borough of Croydon considerations before work starts.

Most Water Features in Purley fall between £1,000 and £3,500, depending on size, materials and complexity. Simple self-contained fountains can start around £500–£1,200. Larger ponds, waterfalls or bespoke contemporary pieces with lighting, filtration and stonework can reach £4,000–£5,000. Costs are influenced by groundwork, access for materials, electrics, and whether you want planting and edging included.
Typical installation takes 2–5 days. A small fountain or pondless feature is often completed in 2–3 days, while ponds with edging, filtration and a waterfall usually need 4–5 days. Timescales depend on excavation, curing time for concrete bases (if required), weather, and how quickly electrics can be connected safely. We confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and design sign-off.
Most garden water features are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially if they’re within the rear garden and not altering listed structures. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, major changes to ground levels, or if you’re close to boundaries and neighbours. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can help you check London Borough of Croydon guidance before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as leaks caused by fitting, liner installation, pipework connections and structural build elements. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to pumps, lights and filtration units, and we’ll register these where required. We also provide a clear handover on maintenance to keep everything running smoothly, plus advice on winter shutdown and spring start-up.
We offer traditional ponds with natural stone edging, wildlife-friendly planting, and optional waterfalls, as well as contemporary designs using granite, porcelain, stainless steel or cast stone. Pondless features are popular for low-maintenance gardens and family spaces, using hidden reservoirs and recirculating pumps. We can add LED lighting, rills, bubbling bowls or tiered fountains. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, sound preference and upkeep level.
