Wildlife pond construction
Wildlife pond design

To design and build a wildlife pond that encourages native species to visit and take up residence both in and around the pond demands the ability to create, establish and maintain a balanced and healthy ecosystem. By creating a varied habitat in the pond itself, and in the immediate vicinity of the pond, native wildlife will find not only a "home" but also a rich source of sustenance.

Wildlife pond builders, wildlife pond designers

We design and build new wildlife ponds and undertake works to improve the habitat offered by, and the ecosystem of, existing ponds. In designing and specifying for work on a wildlife pond, we consider not only the creation of wildlife habitat but also the aesthetic appeal of the pond and how best to situate it in the surrounding landscape.

Wildlife pond planting
Wildlife pond maintenance

The area and volume of a wildlife pond is germane to the number and diversity of species it is likely to support. A selection of native flora planted both in and around the pond is a prerequisite for attracting and keeping a wildlife-rich pond.

Miscellanea

An established population of frogs or toads will act as an effective natural slug control in the garden. It is recommended that slug pellets are not used where the poisoned slug could be eaten by a frog or toad.
