Natural pools create a safe haven for wildlife right in your garden. Birds like herons, ducks, and geese, as well as various insects, are drawn to natural pools, enhancing pollination and improving your garden’s ecosystem.
Wildlife utilises these water features for drinking and as thriving habitats. Each natural pool becomes its own ecosystem, supported by a variety of aquatic plants. By adding a natural pool to your garden, you provide a home for many species, allowing you to enjoy a vibrant, thriving environment right at your doorstep.
Even if you don’t swim, a natural pool can enhance your garden with its beauty. Design a deck alongside your pool to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature in Dartmoor, Exmoor or Bodmin Moor!
Natural pools help keep wildlife in their native habitats by providing essential resources like food and water. This allows you to connect more deeply with your local environment.
You may think that natural pools are only best for swimming. But even if you don’t want to swim in your natural pool, you can still benefit from the beauty it brings to your garden. You can even design your natural pond with a deck. There you can relax listening to the sound of running water while watching the wildlife swim by.
Did you know that wild animals are less inclined to move away from their native homes if there is food and water nearby? This means that natural garden pools provide the perfect location for wildlife to live. These pools also provide people with opportunities to explore new parts of nature. Many even connect with their environment on a more personal level.
A natural pool restoration is essential for returning aged pools & lakes to their former glory. Left to their own devices, natural pools can be overtaken by reeds and aquatic plants. This can leave what was once an award-winning natural pool as an unsightly, stagnant pool of water. No longer the attractive wildlife haven that it once was.
Pools and lakes are crucial for supporting diverse ecosystems in your local environment. Restoration helps sustain animal populations, providing vital habitats and resources. In Devon, restoring large ponds and pools is key to preserving wildlife and maintaining the health of our natural landscapes.
There are a number of ways to perform pool restoration. Some methods involve creating a temporary pond where wildlife can find refuge. Other restoration activities include restoring wetlands. This helps filter pollutants from water and encourage native vegetation growth near bodies of water.
Some organisations might believe that pool & lake restoration isn’t necessary if the damage has already been done. This couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s our obligation to care for what has been damaged. This ensures that future generations of humans & wildlife will be able to benefit from natural landscape pools.
When Landmarc undertakes a restoration project, our goal is to bring back lost species or habitats. We focus on increasing biodiversity in these natural pools, ensuring a thriving ecosystem. In Devon and the South West, this is best achieved with a ground-up approach, addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.
We start by draining the pool to allow excavators to desilt it. Removing excessive sediment is crucial, as shallow pools are less suitable for many wildlife species. They also attract invasive plants and animals, damaging the ecosystem’s overall health. High sediment levels can lead to nutrient-rich water, harming fish and causing unpleasant odours. This environment often triggers algae blooms, which can be harmful to both animals and humans.
By restoring natural pools, we help increase biodiversity, creating a healthier and more vibrant environment for wildlife in Totnes, Exeter, and beyond.
Landmarc wants to design, construct, and restore your natural pool.
We start this process off by draining the pool of water. This will enable us to use excavators to desilt the pool. We also remove excessive sediment which will cause a shallow natural pool. Shallow pools are a leading cause of decreasing biodiversity. It makes the water an unsuitable home to many wildlife species. It can also lead to the infestation of invasive aquatic plants and animal species. This damages the lake’s overall health as an ecosystem. Excessive sediment levels can also cause high levels of nutrients in the water that harm fish and cause bad odours. In turn, these high nutrient levels and shallow warm water, trigger algae bloom. They range from unsightly to dangerous for both animals and humans.
Natural swimming pools are pools that use natural plant filtration and circulation pumps instead of harsh chemicals to keep the water clean and clear. They are a beautiful and ecologically friendly addition to garden landscapes.
We undertake a wide range of projects including the construction and restoration of natural swimming pools and lakes, as well as the creation of water features such as waterfalls, cascades, man-made streams, and fountains.
Natural swimming pools are chemical-free and better for the well-being of the local environment and wildlife. They also provide a safe haven for local wildlife, such as herons, ducks, and geese, and can improve pollination in the garden.
