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.
