Pond Design and Builds FAQs

View all FAQs

How much does it cost to build a pond?

Costs vary depending on size, materials, and features. Smaller garden ponds may start from a few thousand pounds, while larger koi ponds or bespoke water features can be significantly higher due to structural work, filtration systems, and design complexity.

How long does it take to build a pond?

Most projects are completed within 2–8 weeks. Larger or more complex builds – such as reinforced concrete koi ponds or installations with advanced filtration – may take longer.

Do I need planning permission to build a pond?

In most residential settings, planning permission is not required. However, it may be necessary for listed properties, commercial sites, or large-scale landscaping projects. Always check with your local authority if unsure.

Can you upgrade or restore an existing pond?

Yes. Existing ponds can be fully refurbished, resized, or modernised with improved liners, filtration systems, raised walls, viewing windows, waterfalls, and lighting.

How deep should a pond be?

Depth depends on the pond type:

Wildlife ponds: 45–60 cm
Garden ponds: 60–90 cm
Koi ponds: typically 1.2–1.8 metres Greater depth improves water stability and fish health.

What type of filtration system do I need?

Filtration is designed based on pond size and fish load. Systems may include mechanical filtration (debris removal), biological filtration (beneficial bacteria), drum filters for high-performance setups, and UV clarifiers for algae control.

Can you include features like waterfalls or windows?

Yes, ponds can be customised with features such as waterfalls, spillways, viewing windows, lighting, raised walls, and automated water systems to enhance both aesthetics and functionality.
