Water features are another aspect that should be considered when planning the design of your garden. They provide movement, reflection, and sound which adds to the ambiance of an area. Water in the garden also attracts wildlife. Within a week of creating a pond you will have many more birds visiting the garden. At nighttime well placed lights in a water feature look fantastic.
There area many different types of water feature for your garden. You can have child friendly waterfeatures, water features for fish, waterfalls and ponds, water features for wildlife, Monolith stone water features, waterfeatures for swimming the list goes on.
When planning your waterfeature make sure to employ a professional who has experience in construction of waterfeatures. Get references and view past projects at least two years or more old. If construction is not 100%, a badly built feature can become a nightmare, with leaks being the no. one problem. If the feature is to contain fish, U.V. lighting, filters, water volume, correct sized pumps all need to be considered. The fact that electricity will be in close proximity to most waterfeatures, you should only employ a qualified professional. I would not recommend D.I.Y. when constructing a waterfeature
The following are a few examples of work I have done over the last few years.
