Leak detection and repair.
Is your pond or feature in constant need of a top up, exposing unsightly liner and causing unnecessary stress around what should be an oasis of relaxation?
If there has been an obvious accident around the pond, such as a slip with some secateurs or a strimmer, then we have the knowledge and experience to perform a long lasting repair when suitable.
Other potential areas such as plumbing and filtration or waterfalls and cascades are often to blame and can, in some cases, be a straightforward fix. Its always worth consulting us first, as unfortunately it is often the case that even a ‘professional’ install can require an expert eye to remedy water loss.

Liner replacement.
If during your repair visit we find that there are multiple holes or extensive UV damage it is often the case that the liner is coming towards the end of its serviceable life.
Unfortunately, we often find this has happened many years prematurely as not all ponds are created equally. It is an unfortunate reality that even with ‘professionally’ created ponds, many of the fundamental facets that go into a beautiful, long lasting pond are lacking.
A reline consists of more that simply dropping the new over old. Once the old liner is removed, the excavation is prepared. More often than not reshaping of marginal ledges and rectifying problem areas such as off-level ground and encroaching roots.
Overflows piped to a soak away are an often overlooked part of pond construction, and we always look to rectify this if missing. A pond overflowing will soften the ground below the liner, causing stress and substantially shortening its lifespan. Likewise, exposed liner around the edge of the pond is subjected to extensive, preventable, wear.
We only install professional grade liners, combined with the essential geotextile fleece underlay, so you can be assured that you can will be enjoying your pond, stress free, for many years to come.

Water quality solutions.
Green water? Blanket weed? Poor fish or plant growth and health? Everything in and around your aquatic ecosystem is reliant on consistent water quality. Each pond is unique, as are the solutions to their problems. We have the extensive knowledge and experiance to correct and maintain these critical water parameters utalising both mechanical and biological solutions.
Yet again, we have seen many times the unfortunate results of poorly specified and installed filtration, leaving people rightly frustrated and upset that their promised aquatic oasis is not living up to the potential it should.
There are many considerations when it comes to specifying filtration for a pond, and misjudgement on any one of them can lead to stress and disappointment.
The first step in rectifying issues is to ensure correct maintenance is carried out throughout the year, as often this is lacking and is an essential part for a thriving ecosystem.

Restoration.
Falling between new pond construction and liner repair, let us restore and improve your existing pond. Additions such as waterfalls, streams and cascades are an amazing feature to add to your garden, allowing you to unwind and relax to the sound of flowing water.
Perhaps you are tired of your aquatic plants constantly blowing over or outgrowing those plastic pots? Adding marginal planting zones not only allows your plats to flourish naturally, but also nurtures essential biodiversity within the pond, creating habitat and protection for aquatic, amphibious and invertebrate life alike.
Is your filtration or pipework an eyesore? If so, we have the expertise to conceal it into your garden utilising natural stone, timber or planting along with through-liner technologies to make those unsightly black boxes and pipes a thing of the past.
