Unfortunately there are no before of this existing pond which was a very boring rectangle with an uninspiring water inlet, disconnected from the rest of the garden and surrounded by overgrown shrubs to both ends and lawn to the remainder and no areas sit.
It has now been transformed once cleared of all planting and reshaped a limestone path now links the house to a composite deck boardwalk and seating area creating the movement and sound of a new natural stream to be enjoyed. Any safety concerns have been removed by the installation of stainless steel wire balustrade to the perimeter.
Finally over 100m2 of existing lawn was removed and Corten steel edging installed to define new curved borders to the entire perimeter of the pond, these have been ready for planting in a few weeks time so once completed it will definitely feel part of the garden.
