Who are Ponds Northwest?

Based in Bury, Ponds Northwest are specialist pond designers, builders, renovators and maintenance experts, providing professional pond services throughout the North West.

Established in 2015 by Dave Berry, Ponds Northwest has grown from a small two-man operation into an established specialist company with dedicated teams covering pond construction and renovation alongside pond cleaning and ongoing maintenance.

With over 30 years’ experience in ponds and water gardens, Dave and the Ponds Northwest team have the knowledge and practical experience to take on everything from a small garden pond requiring attention to a completely bespoke Koi pond, natural pond, swimming pond or commercial water feature.

How can Ponds Northwest help you?

Pond Design & Construction

Whether you’re looking for a contemporary Koi pond, traditional garden pond, natural pond or something completely bespoke, Ponds Northwest can take a project from the initial idea through to the finished pond.

The team can undertake excavation, construction, waterproofing, filtration, pipework, stonework, waterfalls and finishing work to create a pond designed specifically around the customer, their garden and how they want to use it.

Pond Renovation & Restoration

Ponds Northwest specialise in transforming tired, leaking, overgrown or poorly designed ponds and water features.

Renovation work can include reshaping ponds, replacing liners, fibre glassing, rebuilding edges and waterfalls, upgrading filtration and pipework or completely redesigning an existing pond.

The aim is to turn something that may have become a problem into one of the main features of the garden again.

Contemporary & Koi Ponds

For customers looking for something special, Ponds Northwest design and construct bespoke contemporary and Koi ponds.

Projects can incorporate viewing windows, waterfalls and water blades, specialist filtration, bottom drains, modern finishes and purpose-built filter areas.

With Koi ponds, the construction and filtration below the surface are just as important as the finished appearance, so the complete system is designed around both the pond and the health of the fish.

Natural & Eco-Scaped Ponds

Ponds Northwest also create natural and fully eco-scaped ponds designed to blend into the surrounding garden.

Using natural rock, gravel, planting, waterfalls and carefully designed circulation and filtration, these can range from smaller natural garden ponds through to substantial installations incorporating streams, intake bays and wetland filtration.

Natural Swimming Ponds

For something particularly different, Ponds Northwest can also design and construct natural swimming ponds.

A swimming pond combines a dedicated swimming area with the appearance and character of a natural body of water.

Rather than looking like a conventional swimming pool, it can become part of the garden landscape, incorporating natural stone, planting and biological filtration. Ponds Northwest can also clean and maintain existing swimming ponds.

Pond Cleaning & Maintenance

Ponds Northwest has dedicated teams providing professional pond cleaning and ongoing maintenance throughout the North West.

A full pond clean can include draining the pond, safely transferring fish into professional temporary holding facilities, removing sludge and debris, cleaning filtration equipment, servicing pumps, checking UV systems and inspecting the general condition of the pond and fish.

Regular maintenance programmes are also available for customers who want their pond professionally looked after throughout the year.

Filtration & Fish Health

Good filtration and water quality are essential to a successful pond.

Ponds Northwest can assess existing filtration systems and design and install upgrades to improve water clarity, circulation and overall pond health.

The company also has two fully trained Pond Medics who can carry out specialist fish-health and water-quality visits, including water testing and microscopic mucus scrapes to help identify parasites and other potential fish-health problems.

Waterfalls, Streams & Water Features

You don’t necessarily need a traditional pond to enjoy water in the garden.

Ponds Northwest design and construct waterfalls, streams, pondless waterfalls and bespoke water features, ranging from natural rock waterfalls to contemporary installations.

A pondless waterfall works by allowing the water to disappear into a hidden underground reservoir before being pumped back to the top of the feature, creating a continuous natural-looking waterfall without an open pond. These are ideal for customers who love the sight and sound of moving water but don’t necessarily want the responsibility of owning and maintaining a traditional pond.

Commercial Ponds, Lakes & Water Features

Ponds Northwest also works with schools, businesses, estates and other organisations, providing construction, renovation, cleaning and maintenance of ponds, lakes and water features along with specialist filtration and improvement work.

A Complete Pond Service

What makes Ponds Northwest different is the range of specialist services available within one company.

Rather than simply building a pond and walking away, the team can support customers throughout the life of their pond – from the original design and construction through to filtration, cleaning, maintenance, fish health, repairs and future improvements.

Whether it’s bringing an old pond back to life, creating a bespoke Koi pond, building a natural swimming pond or transforming a garden with water, the aim is always the same – to build it properly, make it look fantastic and create something the customer can enjoy for years to come.
