Fairwater specialises in the design and construction of beautiful, natural-looking water gardens for private gardens, estates, commercial landscapes and specialist landscape projects.
From informal ponds and natural streams to waterfalls, cascades, rills and bespoke water features, we combine careful design and sound engineering with the natural beauty of stone, timber and other materials. Our water gardens are designed to complement their surroundings, creating a sense of movement, sound and tranquillity while becoming an integral part of the wider landscape.
Every water garden is individually designed to suit the character of the garden, the available space and the way the feature will be used.
Our technical design service considers the practical requirements behind a successful water garden, including water flow, pump sizing, pipework, waterproofing, filtration, water clarity and future maintenance.
We can work from an existing garden design or develop the technical elements of a water feature in consultation with private clients, garden designers, landscape contractors and architects.
Where appropriate, we can also create a working mock-up of a bespoke feature, allowing the design and movement of water to be assessed before construction.
Natural Water Movement
Water movement can transform a garden, introducing sound, reflection and wildlife while creating a natural connection between different areas of the landscape.
Flexible liners, pumps and associated systems are discreetly concealed to preserve the natural appearance of the finished feature. Our approach combines modern, durable construction techniques with natural stone, timber and other carefully selected materials.

Wildlife-friendly water gardens
A successful water garden should look as though it belongs in its surroundings rather than appearing as an isolated feature.
We consider the relationship between water, planting, stonework, levels and the existing landscape to create a cohesive result. Aquatic and marginal planting can also be incorporated into the design, helping establish a more natural appearance and providing valuable habitat for wildlife.
Whether the aim is a tranquil pond, a gently flowing stream or a dramatic waterfall, we can develop the technical solution required to bring the concept to life.
