Lake construction and large pond design.
Lake
construction nowadays, is not just restricted to the fortunate few
with a stream flowing through their site. Lake construction or large
pond design is the development of techniques by which anyone with
a few acres can achieve the perfect complement to a converted barn or
farmhouse.
Some of our customers have refused to buy a property, unless we could
implement a lake construction or large pond design. The
photo's below show the development of a lake construction at Bourton on
the water, Gloucestershire.

As
we see with these large ponds and lakes, up to and beyond 3 acres
in size, quickly become established into mature natural features.
Most had their beginnings as a neglected field or area of a large
garden waiting to be brought to life. |
The
before and after 3 acre lake at Bourton on the Water shown above is
remarkably only 2 years old, yet already well established. All those
shown have been constructed using either butyl or firestone rubber and
a geo-textile membrane to protect the former.
Most
have the added feature of natural streams and water courses built into
the overall scheme, making it a very popular part of their garden or grounds,
where views of the water make it a focal point that must be visited.
