You are here: Wildlife Waterscapes
Tranquility with wildlife
The growing importance these days of conserving wildlife is well documented. Everyone can help and a wildlife pond or lake will help our British wildlife. Dig, line, plant, hydrate and within days wildlife arrives. Time allows your Aquascape to mature and as you learn to enjoy your new creation, a sense of peace and tranquility transforms your well-being as you relax alongside water.
Creation of your waterscape
There’s never been a better time to introduce or restore a wildlife pond or lake into your life. Since the days of Groundforce, ponds have been in decline, so perhaps it’s time to invest in our future and create an stunning pond? By creating a wildlife pond, you’re helping nature and within days, you’ll be amazed by its new visitors and residence. So, who builds them? Well, anyone can build a pond, however Specialists in Aquascapes can create stunning projects.
We have nearly a quarter of a century’s experience and a stunning portfolio of past project to share. Why not seek our free quotation to see if we can help you, and then relax and enjoy our creation. Working with you, we’ll design your pond or lake taking into account the myriad of factors needed to produce a stunning project. We’ll then construct this Aquascape and where larger waters are required, work alongside your team or provide our own trusted ground-worker team for construction.
Once shaped, we’ll then line your feature using our EPDM lifetime-guarantee membrane and, with careful planning, we make the absolute best use of every last scrap – proud of our records of almost zero waste. Unlike other inferior products, EPDM rubber is repairable should you damage it, rather than the need for replacement – see our liner repair service.
Completion with plants and fountains
We are very pleased to be able to work with Anglo Plants and offer their comprehensive range of the highest quality bog, marginal and deep water aquatic plants for your water feature at various sizes and price points.
Working with their seasonal list of available plants, selected either for their best quality, ‘in-flower’ or landscape planting status, we can then recommend suggested planting species, quantities and planting zones, working with you to encompass your desires and colour pallets.
As your pond fills, we will supply and plant, to complete your project.
Why not set up a camera trap?
Fountains for larger lake aeration are a key component in our ever-warming climate, with aeration providing beneficial oxygen for the waters’ many visitors and inhabitants. Our range of floating fountains from OASE, Otterbine and KASCO make this possible with installation via our electric RIB.
Ongoing monthly, bi-monthly, on-demand (for example, a forthcoming wedding) or annual maintenance packages can be tailored to your unique project for its ongoing care. Why not give us a call to discuss your thoughts, to see how we can help?
Aftercare
Once we have completed your project, we don’t stop there! We are always available by phone for whatever advice you might need as the new project beds in. Mark, our Managing Director, is regularly travelling the UK for work, so don’t be surprised for a call when passing – we love returning to see how the project is maturing, discuss any issues you may have, give some pointers and generally ensure the well-being of the project into its future.

Wildlife Ponds and Lakes – FAQs
A wildlife-friendly pond or lake includes gentle slopes, shallow zones, native aquatic plants, and natural filtration systems.
