Garden Water Features in Shropshire
Contemporary water features that bring movement and calm.
About Water Features
What Are Water Features?
Nothing transforms a garden quite like water. The sound masks traffic, the movement catches the light, and the stillness of a reflective pool adds a sense of calm that no other element can. From contemporary stainless-steel blades and rills to naturalistic ponds and bubbling boulders, we design and install water features that are properly plumbed, safely wired and built to run reliably for years — not just for the first summer.

FAQs
Water Features — Frequently Asked Questions
Do water features need a water supply?
Most recirculate the same water from a hidden reservoir, so they only need topping up occasionally. We can fit an auto-top-up connected to your mains for a truly maintenance-free feature.
How much electricity does a water feature use?
Modern low-voltage pumps are very economical — typically less than a single light bulb. LED lighting adds negligible running cost.
Do water features attract mosquitoes?
Moving water doesn't encourage mosquitoes — only stagnant water does. A properly designed feature keeps water moving or covered, so it's not an issue.
How much does a water feature cost?
A quality installed water feature typically starts from around £800–£3,000 depending on size, materials and complexity, with large ponds or bespoke stone features costing more. Your free quotation gives an exact, itemised price.
How long does installation take?
Most standalone features are installed in 1–2 days. Larger ponds, rills or features needing new electrics and plumbing can take 3–5 days — we'll include a clear timeframe in your quote.
How do I maintain a water feature?
Keep the reservoir topped up, clear the pump intake of leaves monthly, and give it a deeper clean and descale once a year. Auto-top-up and filtration options reduce this further. We'll walk you through the routine at handover.
