Swimming pond design, build and maintenance

Swimming Pond

Originally a pond with fish, I was asked to transform it into a "swimming pond"

This was a really great, fulfilling job I undertook in Plaxtol, Kent a few years ago and I continue to provide regular maintenance

How it was achieved

  • Emptying and removal of an abundance of silt
  • Fully lined with a protective underlay and a blue liner (a multitude of other colours/patterns also available!)
  • The front edge of the entire inner shelf was built up with a retaining wall which held back the gravelled filter system and planting zones around the whole perimeter, and included a skimmer
  • Shallow steps were built up and flat, decorative, stone slabs laid on top, and a decking area was built
  • The pump and filters used are Oase

The results

With its existing 3-tier waterfall providing the subtle sound of natural water, this became a haven for both wild and family life to happily co-exist.
