by

These koi fish are happy in their raised contemporary home. The waterfall is large and powerful enough to entice play, while the flow stops the water freezing over during the colder months.

We particularly love the tiled feature walls, which add an attractive design element that makes the space more interesting. Finished with iris flowers and water violet, this garden is picture perfect!

This small cherub fountain sits in the shade of a garden pergola. The stone design is edged with mosaic mirror shards, fixed with concrete grouting for a shabby chic finish.

This pond is clearly an old period feature, lovingly restored and protected to avoid further wear and tear. We love how the surrounding garden has been adapted to match the fountain so it doesn’t look out of place.

Why not install a similar feature in your garden and add a touch of classical design to your neighbourhood?

This shallow pond is all about the waterfall. In fact, the pebbled bottom acts like a shore for this gorgeous rockery.

Old granite rocks like these are perfect for smaller gardens wanting to incorporate a striking feature. Cheap, waterproof, weather resistant and attractive, they’re the perfect material for bespoke designs.

The brick wall, painted white, lifts the grey and helps it stand out against an otherwise minimal garden.

Frogbit, water lettuce, and sweet flag adorn the surface of this beautiful raised pond.

Edged with slate stones and shrub patches, this garden is every bit the nature’s paradise it’s intended to be. Not only will this pond design offer a great deal of biodiversity to this garden, but the koi that live in the water will be extremely happy with their oxygenation – be in from the plants, the waterfall or the pump that keeps everything fresh and clean.

This simple yet striking Clearwater Ponds & Landscaping design is a great addition to any home looking for an attractive waterscape.

The wooden design fits seamlessly into the decking and fence, creating a visual flow that’s both pleasing and stimulating. We love the gentle waterfall that produces a fine line of trickling water.

Now all you need to do is add some fish and aquatic plant life!

Is this a still from a nature documentary? No! It’s a zen waterfall feature in a standard back garden.

Use a mixture of stones, pebbles, rocks, boulders and aquatic plants to bring this design to life. It’s all you need to invite nature into your garden. The end result is a waterscape that looks like it’s been plucked out of a forest.

Why not hire one of our professional landscapers to help you get the look?

This design is the same as the last slide, yet zoomed out. It’s so you can see how they’ve stacked various shaped stones on top of each other to create the natural waterfall effect.

They’ve also adorned the periphery of the pond with a waterside plant called, Mare’s tail Hippuris Vulgaris. It helps clear and purify the water.

This design would work well for fish, ducks, frogs, toads, and a host of pollinators and insects. Get the look today!
