TECHNICAL ADVICE & CONSULTANCY:

We offer advice to architects, garden designers, contractors, and homeowners, ideally from the early stages of a project but also on finished schemes. We can help with design, full system specifications (including pumps, filtration & plumbing), and planting plans.

We can supply detailed design & construction plans, with full specifications, to enable you or your contractor to build, equip, and complete the full feature.

WATER QUALITY:

Water quality issues are often at the root of both algae problems and fish-health troubles. We can carry out on-site water tests to highlight any specific items and guide recommendations for the best way forward.

FISH HEALTH:

Happy and healthy fish add life, colour, interest and extra movement to any pond. In a well balanced and maintained pond, fish diseases are uncommon. If they do occur, prompt action will prevent the issue becoming more severe.

Take time when looking at your pond, or feeding fish. You’ll become aware of the typical behaviour of your fish, and more able to detect unusual behaviour that could signal possible issues.

If the fish are unwell, we can carry out tests to check on water quality and filter performance. From 2026 we are no longer offering physical fish health checks.

See our advice page on fish problems

TROUBLESHOOTING:

We can cast our expert eye over your water garden if you are having issues with poorly performing filters; problems with plants; leaks and other issues.

It might be worth checking our Frequently Asked Questions pages first, where we hope to have answers for the most common concerns.
