		This design was developed from an initial sketch stage through to detailed construction plans for the building firm

	A concrete framework is lined with a flexible waterproof membrane for longevity. Stone & brick give smart and durable surface finishes


		FORMAL PONDS Classical style, with clean crisp cascades, shimmering reflections and solid stone finishes All pumps, filters and top-up facilities are concealed.


		FORMAL LINES AND CURVES Working with the landscape architect and the building team, we provided design solutions for the water features. This included the installation of the brimming tank feature, the rill and pond linings, water spouts, pumps, underwater lighting and filtration. The sight and sound of the water features helps to distract from the sound of a nearby road, and the formal design suits the enclosed space beside a heritage property. Garden Design: Mungo Park


	CONTEMPORARY RILL The client and their garden designer wanted to realise their plans for this formal rill. It borders a deck built as part of a new home (which won ‘Best Extension’ in the Daily Telegraph Homebuild Awards). The water reflects the crisp lines of the porcelain tile edging, and stainless cascades feed the pools at the upper end of the rill. The rill itself acts as a divider between the inner garden and the rolling countryside beyond. Working alongside the landscaper, we fitted the tailored rubber linings, cascades, pumps and remote filtration. A concealed skimmer removes surface debris.

	RILL and POOLS with FORMAL STYLING A lead cascade in the rear Cotswold wall, falls into the semi-circular pool at the head of the rill, running to the round pool with stone flag surrounds. It makes a striking focal point, aligned with the house. We worked alongside the builders, providing detailed construction diagrams, and installing linings, pumps and plants.

	CANAL POND in a meadow area We were called in during the construction of this 60m canal with central pond, and provided technical advice and detailed plans for the two cascades and filter system.
