We transformed an unused area of the garden into a stunning retreat for both people and wildlife. The waterfall cascades along one elevation of a sunken barbecue seating area, where the fire feature serves as the focal point. Massive granite boulders, some weighing over a tonne, form rustic, natural seating arranged in a circular layout. Ferns and alpines planted between the rocks soften the edges and add vibrant contrast. With underwater lights illuminating the cascades, the sights and sounds of the waterfall create a magical atmosphere, perfect for entertaining on warm evenings.
Initially, our client sought help to replace a leaking pond, leading us to propose a pondless waterfall as a child and pet-friendly alternative. Unlike the deep, open water of traditional ponds, pondless waterfalls circulate water from a hidden underground reservoir, creating a safe, elegant display. This design minimizes safety concerns while delivering the soothing sights and sounds of flowing water for homeowners to enjoy with peace of mind.
The firepit, rockery, and waterfall are planted in a repetitive style, with carefully chosen ground-cover plants that mimic natural landscapes while ensuring the feature remains the star. Designed to benefit native pollinators, this garden has attracted an abundance of wildlife. Requiring minimal upkeep, leaf debris naturally collects at the waterway's base for easy removal, and an optional Aquascape Autodoser keeps the water crystal clear. For added convenience, maintenance packages are available for periodic refreshes. This bespoke feature brings a wow factor to any garden and can be tailored to your space—contact us to begin your water garden journey!
“Delighted with the waterfall that Ben and Joe built for us. Excellent technical and artistic ability. You couldn't have nicer people in your garden to build. If you want a stunning water feature then these are the go to guys.”
