MONET BRIDGE, FOUNTAIN and POOL RESHAPE

The overgrown clay pond (below) was cleared of excess reedmaces and the edge reshaped and made firm with a new gabion wall. A Monet-style bridge was installed to the existing island, and a floating fountain feature added with night-time illumination.

This pond has since been planted with a selection of waterlilies and marginal plants.

WATER FEATURES

A self-contained brimming trough custom designed to suit a period property, and its contemporary garden with rustic walling boundaries.

The constant movement of the jets generates soothing sounds to help mask the noise of a nearby road.

The heavy-duty metalwork is bespoke welded to size, with a carefully created zinc finish that looks almost like lead. We have been working alongside the specialist workshop for over 15 years, designing and producing unique water features.

The triple jets in the upper tray brim over into a hidden reservoir. The pump is operated by remote control. Every trough is designed to order.

These features are ideal where a pond is impractical. Contact Us to discuss a water feature suited to your situation.

These types of BRIMMING TROUGH have a top tray which spills over through the slot around the edge, and into the reservoir below.

The oblong troughs are custom made for each project, typically in lengths up to 160cm, and 50-60cm high. We have also supplied square and circular features. They have a concealed overflow/cable duct. Fabrication is at the UK workshop, using heavy-duty steel with a hot-dipped zinc coating. The hand-finished rustic patina is unique to each tank.

All these features need a firm level base(ideally a concrete plinth), and nearby powerpoint or ducting for the cabling.

The features can take two to three months from receipt of order to delivery. We are only able to install these units for projects within easy reach of our office base in Cheltenham.

Simpler features can be created from plain troughs without a brimming tray. Stone troughs can usually be sealed and converted into features. The customer’s stone trough to the left had a small submersible filter fitted which keeps the water clear and clean, and powers the lion spout above. Contact Us for further details. 

FOUNTAIN ORNAMENTS

This old circular pond has been re-plumbed with a new period fountain. The jet and bowl are supplied by a reliable and quiet-running submersible pump, and a separate submersible filter unit keeps the water clear.

The pool to the right was sunk into an existing lawn and the cobbled surround tailored to match garden paths. The classical-styled stone pool edging and fountain were matched in colour. A powerful pump feeds a bold jet, with generous flow over the bowl rim. Lighting, concealed in bordering hedges, illuminates the feature at night.
