Slapton Natural Pond Restoration

The project unfolded in a series of exciting steps. First up, we tackled the existing pond, which had seen better days. We rolled up our sleeves and got to work excavating the pond, getting rid of all the accumulated silt and giving ourselves a clean slate to work with. With a fresh canvas, our team of skilled operatives went to town shaping the pond. We expanded its size and carefully sculpted the pond’s edges to blend seamlessly with the garden’s natural beauty. But the real showstopper? That had to be the natural cascade we added. Made from rock we sourced locally, it not only looked fantastic but also brought the soothing sound of flowing water to the garden.

To make sure we wouldn’t have any more water troubles, we lined the pond with a modern, bentonite liner. Once everything was set, we filled the pond back up, creating a thriving aquatic home. And to put the cherry on top, we landscaped the whole area complete with locally sourced turf. What started as a struggling pond on the brink of disaster turned into a stunning garden oasis!
