Ponds, Lakes & Water Gardens



NAIAD POND SERVICES working with water in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire since 1980

Landscape design and construction around pond, lake, stream, watercourse and water garden

Prerequisite number one:

Sensitive understanding of how water sits in and enhances the landscape

All too often we see water features that have been superimposed on a landscape just for the sake of having such a feature; the effect is always one of the feature having simply been "plonked" in any old available space.

To look stunning, the design for a water feature (whether pond, lake, stream, watercourse or water garden) must both fit the feature "comfortably" within, and enhance, the existing landscape space in which it is placed. It is clearly of utmost importance to consider this requirement at the design stage of a new construction and of any restoration or repair project to ensure that the feature and the surrounding landscape work well together. See the page on Stone and Rock which is just one small illustration of this landscape design challenge.

We design and undertake construction work on water related landscapes. As a matter of routine, whether we are building from scratch or simply beautifying an existing water feature, our design team and our construction teams utilise their time-served experience to create a "sympathetic" total landscape.
