ponds
Specialist in Raised pond design in stone and brick, as well as sunken pond designs. A raised pond has is a very specific and often difficult engineering concept and design. You must know and understand both foundation and design construction - cement strength and brick-laying construction - as a raised pond has no inner liner but has a inner cement layer which depending on the overall size of the pond determines the thickness of said. Sunken pond take less time but with the added features you may require such as a waterfall, again engineering comes into play, sunken ponds naturally have a liner. I have built and designed over 177 raised ponds and over 90 sunken ponds from 5 foot to 27 foot. The overall raised pond comes in at approximately £1.800 plus material costs, this is for approximately 6 by 6 foot by 30 inch depth
