A Stunning Water Garden Design

This water feature showcases how a garden centered around water can become a breathtaking masterpiece. It offers year-round enjoyment for the client while attracting local wildlife. The natural garden slope directs attention to waterfalls that flow over varied cascades into a crystal-clear pond. Spanning 10 by 3 meters and nearly a meter deep, the pond provides an ideal habitat for koi and other fish, ensuring their comfort even in colder months.

Natural Design and Sustainable Ecosystem

Hand-selected granite boulders give the feature a natural look, while filters, a gravel bed, and oxygenated water maintain clarity without UV sterilizers. Skimmers remove debris, and underwater jets ensure constant movement, preventing stagnation. This low-maintenance design supports thriving aquatic life, creating a serene retreat for both homeowners and wildlife.

Before
after

If you’ve already found Shade Landscapes look no further as you genuinely won’t find better, wow! What they’ve achieved is nothing less than a waterfall masterpiece! During the build we watched Joe and Ben over-agonise and meticulously place each and every rock one by one to recreate nature at its best. They have mastered their craft with time served - never fazed, never rushed, every day totally focussed from start to finish. Every one of their projects is a personal statement of their dedication to detail.
We feel very lucky to now have and enjoy every day such a beautiful garden.
