Fish Pond and Stream - Roddington, Shropshire
This massive fish pond had a seriours problem as it was losign severl inches of water a day. The wrong kind of liner had been installed and it had not been installed correctly and there was a danger of the customer losing their fish.
We emptied the pond moving the fish to holding tanks and the pond was thoroughly cleaned. We then delivered and installed the huge Firestone Butyl liner (weighing in a half a tonne).
We then brought in 8 tonnes of green slate from a Welsh quarries to hold down the liner around the outside of the pond and create a stream running into the pond.
The stream itself was over 8m long and water was passed down the stream and over a large single piece of Welsh slate before entering the pond.
The pond is straddled by a timber bridge and flowering shrubs and perennials surround the pond in borders.

Fish Pond and Stream - Telford
We were called in to renovate a pond which was losing water. The existing sandstone stream was letting water seap away into the surrounding beds and the water level was dropping dangerously low for the fish.
We drained the pond, moved the fish to holding tanks and removed the existing rocks.
We brought in additional sandstone rock to create a stunning stream down beside a rockery, under a bridge and into a large 8m x 8m fish pond.
Building waterfalls and pond surrounds from rock is a professional job. If the rocks are not sited or mortored correctly, leaks will occur.
At the top of the stream a low maintenance filter was installed to complete the job.

Fish Pond - Shrewsbury
We were called in to renovate and clean these beautiful Koi ponds in Shrewsbury.
When large Koi are involved it is imperitive that the fish are disturbed as little as possible. If fish are held in holding tanks, they should be returned to the pond the same day if possible.
Here we managed to completely clean three ponds, renovate the hosing and replace a pond pump all in one day!

Small Fish Pond - Edgebolton, Shropshire
There is nothing worse than having a pond and not been able to see the fish. Small ponds can often be emptied, cleaned and filled in a day and this was no exception.
The fish were held in holding tanks during the clean and a new low maintenance filter system ensured that the water would stay clear and the customer would be able to enjoy seeing their fish.

Small Fish Pond - Whitchurch
As part of a larger garden makeover, we installed a small 2m diameter fish pond.
Small fish ponds of this size are only suitable for Goldfish, Shabumkins and smaller varieties of Orfe and Tench. Larger fish and Koi in particular need a minimim depth of 3'.
This small pond was constructed in under two days. We used a Butyl liner and sandstone rock for the waterfall and pond surround.
A small pump feeds a compression filter hidden in the rockery and an adjuster tap allows the customer to change the flow of the water down the waterfall if required.

Large Fish Pond - Ellesmere
The size of your new pond will be dictated partly by the size of your garden. A small pond in this huge garden would not have looked right.
This 5m x 2.5m fish pond was dug to 3' deep (the minimum depth for Koi carp). The pond was dug with shelves to allow for marginal planting. Smaller fish will also tend to swim around shallow shelves so you get to see more of your fish.
We installed a Butyl 1mm liner and the liner was held down with Welsh granite rock mortered to prevent leaks.
A low maintenance pump and filter were fitted and a sump was dug to allow drainage from the filter waste sump.
We added lillies and marginal planting to the pond and various heathers and grasses were planted in the surrounding borders. Block pave edging was concreted around the borders to highlight the pond within the garden as a focal point.
We then introduced Koi, Goldfish, Orfe, Tench and Shabumkins to their new home.
