Water features

Water features can provide a tranquil and reflective space.  Careful construction is key and the levels must be perfect or any flaws will be exposed by the water levels.

A water feature with impact!
Water features can provide a tranquil and reflective space. The floating steps here require careful construction and the levels must be perfect or any flaws will be exposed by the water levels.
This shot was taken just after construction. The water will clear and the planting is essential to 'soften' the project. The next shot shows this.
The planting is still new but the difference is marked. The plants add to the design in themselves but the way they add movement and then the additional reflection contributes to a much gentler feel. This water feature is enjoyed by the clients, especially when they view it at breakfast from the deck which was constructed over it.
This exquisite slate water feature was built using slate from the clients' childhood home in Scotland. It overlooks Bath in this shot! See next picture too.
The piece was situated in the client's Bath garden and has since moved without trauma to their new property. They were fond of it! Each stone was individually drilled. A simple below ground sump and water pump made this easy to construct.
This pond was designed to be purely reflective,so was kept plant free. It was designed to be full to the top, a continuation of the ground surface. The levels (as always with Frogheath) had to be perfect.
This water feature housed much loved fish and was also built at seat height. So, the design and construction effectively served a dual purpose. Happy fish, happy bottoms!
The simplicity of water and greenery is an excellent antidote to busy lives. This pond has been very professionally sealed by our man known as 'Bob the Pond' It's what he does!
This pond is just outside the client's back door and could be viewed from the kitchen sink, which the lady of the house very much approved of. The well in the background came to light when one of our machines nearly fell into it. (Thank goodness we have good insurances!) It had been covered over but not filled in. Now reconstructed safely using Sussex sandstone. This garden won an APL award
This incredible project was one of our biggest challenges, culminating in the site being used for the clients' daughters wedding. There was a lot of hard work put in by ourselves and the clients, but it was worth it for the big day and most importantly for the long term legacy that will result.
