Ponds & Water Features
As specialists in the design, creation and maintenance of natural ponds and flow form water features, we bring a deep understanding of aquatic ecosystems and a commitment to enhancing natural beauty through sustainable design. Our expertise lies in transforming spaces into tranquil havens where water plays a central, harmonious role.
Natural Ponds
Natural ponds are more than just water bodies; they are living ecosystems that require a delicate balance to thrive. Our approach to building natural ponds focuses on mimicking the complexity and diversity found in nature. Here’s how we do it:
Site Assessment and Planning: We begin by carefully evaluating the proposed site, considering factors such as soil composition, sunlight, and existing vegetation. This thorough assessment ensures that the pond will integrate seamlessly into its surroundings.
Design with Nature: Our designs are inspired by natural processes. We incorporate varying depths, gentle slopes, and plant zones that provide habitat for wildlife and support a healthy, self-sustaining ecosystem.
Sustainable Construction: We use eco-friendly materials and construction methods to minimize our environmental footprint. Natural liners, such as clay, and native plants are preferred to create a sustainable environment.
Water Quality Management: Maintaining clear, clean water is crucial. We implement natural filtration systems, including plants and beneficial bacteria, to keep the water balanced and free from harmful algae.
Wildlife Integration: By creating a habitat that attracts birds, frogs, insects, and other wildlife, we ensure that your pond becomes a vibrant part of the local ecosystem. This biodiversity is not only beautiful but also essential for the pond's health.
Flow Forms
Flow form water features are designed to emulate the rhythmic patterns found in natural streams, bringing a sense of movement and tranquillity to any landscape. Here’s what sets our flow form features apart:
Aesthetic and Functional Design: We create water features that are not only visually stunning but also functionally beneficial. The flowing water oxygenates the environment, promoting healthier plant growth and creating soothing sounds that enhance the ambiance.
Artistry and Craftsmanship: Our flow forms are crafted with precision and artistry. Each feature is designed to guide water in a way that mimics natural flow patterns, creating mesmerizing visual effects and a calming auditory experience.
Eco-Friendly Materials: We prioritize the use of sustainable, non-toxic materials that are safe for both the environment and the inhabitants of your garden.
Customization and Personalization: Every flow form feature is customized to fit the unique contours and aesthetics of your landscape. Whether you desire a subtle, gentle flow or a dynamic cascade, we tailor our designs to meet your vision.
Maintenance and Longevity: Our water features are designed for durability and ease of maintenance. We provide guidance and services to ensure your flow form water feature remains beautiful and functional for years to come.

We believe in creating water features that not only enhance the beauty of your property but also contribute positively to the environment. Our methods and materials are chosen with care to reduce environmental impact and promote biodiversity.

Dowsing Services
Water dowsing, also known as water witching or divining, is a centuries-old practice used to locate underground water sources. Utilizing rods or pendulums, dowsers tap into their intuitive abilities to detect subtle energy shifts and physical sensations indicating the presence of water beneath the earth's surface. By harnessing this ancient technique, you can gain access to vital water resources for irrigation, drinking, or other needs without relying on modern technology. Experience the efficiency and reliability of water dowsing in uncovering hidden water reservoirs, ensuring a sustainable and self-sufficient water supply for your property. Whether you're planning a new well installation or seeking to optimize existing water sources, explore the time-tested tradition of water dowsing to unlock nature's bounty beneath the ground.

Trees for forest gardens
As of 2024 we will be providing specially grown trees for forest gardens from our own tree nursery based in Glastonbury.
Forest gardens, also known as food forests or edible landscapes, embody the harmonious coexistence of nature and sustainable agriculture. Inspired by the resilience and diversity of natural forests, these intentional ecosystems are designed to mimic the structure and functions of a natural woodland, while also providing an abundant and diverse harvest of edible crops, herbs, and fruits. In a forest garden, layers of vegetation, including canopy trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, groundcovers, and root crops, are strategically arranged to create a productive and self-sustaining ecosystem. By mimicking natural forest dynamics, such as nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, and biological pest control, forest gardens foster biodiversity, soil fertility, and resilience to climate extremes. They serve as models of regenerative agriculture, offering a holistic approach to food production that nourishes both people and the planet. Experience the beauty and bounty of forest gardens as they flourish and evolve, providing a sustainable and nourishing source of food, habitat for wildlife, and a sanctuary for the soul. If you are interested in creating a forest garden, an orchard or buying trees, please contact us for more information.
