A well-placed water feature can transform a patio, lawn edge or courtyard into a relaxing focal point. We create fountains, ponds, waterfalls and pondless features that look right at home in CR7 gardens. Whether you’re near Thornton Heath station or enjoy walks around Grangewood Park, we’ll design something that complements your outdoor space. Expect clean lines, tidy workmanship and a finish that feels intentional rather than “added on”.
Thornton Heath has a great mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, often with long rear gardens and practical side returns. We tailor layouts to typical plot widths, existing paving levels and the way families use their outdoor space. If you want a statement piece for entertaining or a quieter corner feature for a reading spot, we’ll match scale and style to your property. Our experience across the water features Thornton Heath area means fewer surprises once work starts.
We begin with a site survey, then propose a design with clear options for finish, lighting and filtration. Installation is planned to minimise disruption, with safe electrics, proper base preparation and reliable pumps sized for the feature. We keep you informed daily, protect surrounding planting and leave the garden clean and usable. Local homeowners choose us for transparent pricing, neat detailing and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Gardens across the London Borough of Croydon often have mixed ground conditions and older drainage runs, especially around period terraces. We check levels, soil stability and water run-off before setting bases or lining ponds. Access can be tight on some CR7 streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep things smooth. We also design with practical family gardens in mind—durable edging, safe depths and sensible splash control.

Most projects in Thornton Heath fall between £1,000 and £3,500, depending on size, style and electrics. Smaller self-contained fountains or compact pondless features can start around £500. Larger ponds, multi-tier waterfalls, premium stonework, lighting and advanced filtration can reach £5,000. We’ll confirm costs after a site visit, once we know access, levels and the finish you want.
Typical installation takes 2–5 days. A simple fountain or pondless feature may be completed in 2 days, while a lined pond with edging, planting pockets and filtration usually needs 3–5 days. Timescales depend on excavation, curing time for bases, electrical runs, and whether we’re integrating the feature into new paving or a raised bed. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.
Most garden water features are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially if they’re within your rear garden and not altering public-facing boundaries. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, large raised structures, or if drainage affects neighbours. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible compliance, including safe electrics and water management.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installed structure, including bases, edging, and construction detailing. Manufacturer warranties apply to pumps, lights and filtration equipment, and we’ll register these where required. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of basic maintenance (such as cleaning filters), but we’ll show you how to keep everything running smoothly.
You can choose from contemporary stainless-steel or stone fountains, formal rills, naturalistic ponds with pebble margins, or pondless cascades with hidden reservoirs. Finishes include slate, granite setts, porcelain surrounds, and traditional brick or Yorkstone edging to suit period homes. We’ll help you pick a style based on garden size, sunlight, noise preference, maintenance level and budget, then finalise a design that fits your layout.
