A series of images illustrating the restoration of this neglected pond, its water control structures and rims.
This is the pond before we started.
This pond is a natural clay based pond with occasional inflow runoff water.
The first step in the restoration process was to pump the pond down, remove the overgrowth at the margins and pump out silt from the base.
Creating a level lawn rim of green oak planking. Note the ugly inflow pipe in the top right hand corner of the picture.
Green oak lawn rim installed and a brick headwall built to "house" the inflow pipe.
During the restoration works we built this 7.0 metre long green oak jetty.
The pond was leaking at the outflow control, so having repaired the leak, we built the water level control structure (at the back of the pond in this image).
The finished restoration. Still waiting for rainfall to flush the pond!
Established in 1980 and working exclusively in the grounds and gardens of private clients on natural and man-made ponds, lakes, water gardens, streams, water features and attendant landscapes, we relish all aspects of Water Gardening.

Our pond construction, maintenance and planting teams routinely operate in Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire in an area bounded by around
forty minutes travelling time from our base at Hindhead GU26 and almost never inside the M25 orbital motorway.
An intriguing, historically interesting or challenging project may tempt us further afield!
