Wildlife Ponds

We specialise in crafting custom-designed ponds that are visually stunning and support local wildlife and biodiversity. Our approach to pond building begins with a thorough understanding of your vision and the natural characteristics of your garden, ensuring that each pond is a unique, harmonious addition to your outdoor space.

Our use of sustainable materials and methods further ensures that your pond enriches the local ecosystem, providing a haven for birds, insects, and aquatic life.

Create adjacent habitat – a pond doesn’t just work in isolation, it’s part of a network of habitats around your garden. Help wildlife move between these areas by letting grass grow along one edge of the pond (tall grass gives perfect cover for young toads and frogs leaving the pond), growing some denser shrubs nearby (so birds can approach the pond safely, with cover from predators such as sparrowhawks) and keeping at least one section of the pond edge open and sunny to allow for basking reptiles such as grass snakes. 

Make a drinking spot for big and small – a layer of gravel, mud or large flat stones positioned on the shallow sloping side of the pond will create a perfect habitat for amphibians and insects. It also allows birds, hedgehogs and smaller insects such as honeybees and hornets to drink without risk of falling in the water.
