There’s nothing more satisfying than revisiting old projects years on from construction🌿
The abundance of wildlife, mature plants, mossy rocks and calming sounds.
The stream meanders between two seating areas. Large stepping stones connect the spaces, forcing you to take the journey across the water🚶

A recap of our last day on the Manchester Swim Pond project 💧
5 weeks completed and the Swim pond is filled up and running 🙌🏼 We’ll be back up to do the aquatic planting and the @w_outdoor_living team will add the decking and board walk - can’t wait to see it all done 🤩
Oh and the remote control boats were a fantastic suggestion🛥️🤣

The last few months have seen our amazing team work in some of the toughest site conditions we’ve ever worked in.
We’ve had the pleasure of implementing a design by @jamesasinclair with the help of Ryan and his team @afriponds who are master craftsman in pond building.
It’s been a collaborative effort and we’re incredibly proud of the tireless hard work from all involved.
The end result is going to be somthing special and we can’t wait to share more on this incredible project.

Another brilliant episode for @insidethegreenroom with Ryan from @afriponds A really fascinating and inspiring story of how he became a unique water feature specialist. Creating awe inspiring features with incredible attention to detail, inspiration taken from nature. To selecting and positioning enormous boulders. A true artisan and entrepreneur, a rare feat!
The start of another amazing Water Feature🙌
We broke ground today with @shovel_spadelandscapes and @jamesasinclair 🧑🎨
Follow along to watch this water feature develop over the coming weeks🌿
This is probably one of the biggest transformations we’ve made since moving in. It’s been a labour of love, but it’s finally done and I’m so excited to share it with you!! 🏡🪴
We decided to keep the original pond that was already in the garden when we moved in, but we reshaped it so it now spans the width of the space - and added a little wooden bridge to cross over. I think there’s just something so magical about having a bridge in the garden when you’re a child! The pond is full of fishies, plus the occasional toad and frog, which makes it feel like their own little fairy garden. 🧚 They love sitting on the bridge and are always totally mesmerized by all the little creatures below them! 🐠 🐸
We worked with Ryan and the wonderful team at @afriponds as well as @tobyhaquascape who did an amazing job redesigning and reworking the pond to make it safer and more practical for our family to enjoy.
For the lighting, we teamed up with @lightinglegendsuk who elevated the whole outdoor space beautifully. The moment you step outside, it feels like walking into an oasis ⛲️ ✨- a massive difference to the busy streets of London!
Lastly, thank you to @henryagg for overseeing the design and overall build for us. We’re so happy with the results, and I know we’ll be spending a lot of time out here as the babies grow up!

It’s not about saying no, it’s about asking the right questions, @afriponds shares how he works with clients to create ponds that suit the space, the garden, and the way it’ll be used.
