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

Pond construction

Simple enough, you might think - dig a hole, line it and add water. Well ..... yes, and then again (resoundingly) NO!

The pond builder must not only have a decent design concept and sensible specifications around which to work but must also possess a skill set far exceeding that of the average landscaper, gardener or general builder to make a success of the project. In particular, being able to complete the work without having anything other than an imaginary line to work to - the water level or levels. This might sound simple but it is probably the single most difficult concept for non-specialist pond builders to encompass in their work and understanding.

As you might expect, loving working with water, having a good understanding of aquatic ecosystems and, above all, practiced experience add positively to the construction.

Our pond construction consultancy service is available nationwide.

We have been building ponds for thirty years. Our construction teams operate in an area limited by about 75 minutes travel time from Hindhead (postcode GU26). Occasionally we are tempted further afield by an unusual or intriguing project. We do not work in central London.
