Ponds & Water Features

Design-led calm, movement, and life

— by Craig McGibbon Ltd

Water transforms a garden. It draws the eye, calms the mind, and quietly connects us to nature.

Whether you're dreaming of a koi pond, a wildlife haven, or a sculptural water feature, we create bespoke water elements that integrate seamlessly with the garden around them — not as afterthoughts, but as part of the design from the very beginning.

Aquascape Spillway Bowl & Basin

Sound, sculpture, simplicity
For those who want the mood of water without a full pond, Aquascape bowls are ideal. These self-contained, low-maintenance features gently recirculate water, creating soothing sounds and a contemporary focal point.

Koi Ponds

Deep, elegant, and timeless
Koi ponds are more than ornamental — they’re living ecosystems. Our koi ponds are designed with proper depth, flow, and filtration for long-term fish health, but also with aesthetics in mind: Cumbrian boulders, aquatic planting, thoughtful edging, and slate-lined pools that reflect the sky. Feeding becomes a ritual. Watching the fish, a meditation.

Wildlife Ponds

Natural balance, full of life
We love designing wildlife ponds that invite frogs, dragonflies, birds, and beneficial insects. Built with gently sloping edges, native planting, and oxygenating zones, these ponds bring biodiversity and seasonal change to your garden. They’re low-intervention, deeply calming, and wonderfully alive.

Designed for Life, Built to Last

All our water features are fully integrated into the design and build process. Whether it’s a cascading koi pond or a tucked-away bowl feature, we think long-term: filtration, access, wildlife benefit, seasonal change, and visual harmony.

“I love all water features, from a simple spillway bowl to a large Koi pond. There is nothing that immediately attracts me to investigate than a hint of a water feature in a garden”
