A successful pond starts long before construction begins. Poor early decisions around size, depth, planting, filtration and circulation are the most common causes of long‑term pond problems — and expensive rebuilds.
Maintaining a healthy pond requires a good design, adequate planting and often a filtration system. The Pond People have many years’ experience designing, building and maintaining all manner of ponds. These include wildlife and goldfish ponds, koi ponds, and swim ponds, of all shapes and sizes.
Our deep knowledge of freshwater ecology gives us the ability to provide expert pond consultancy to everyone: from small wildlife ponds to lakes, and to residential pond owners to construction companies, local councils, and government organisations.

We work closely with residential clients, builders, landscapers, and construction companies from start to finish providing guidance throughout.
Pond Refurbishment
At least half of our pond builds are renovations where we have been called in to remedy poorly constructed ponds and the multitude of problems associated with bad designs.
Ponds for Koi Carp
Koi Carp have unique requirements, and ponds must be large and deep enough to ensure their health and well-being.

Our ponds are designed to last. We make use of the best building materials and construction methods to ensure your pond will not let you down.

We can advise you on the ideal dimensions of your pond to accommodate wildlife, planting, and your intended fish stocks.
Filtration Systems
If you are intending to keep fish or are building a swim pond, it is essential to incorporate a properly scaled recirculation and filtration system.
