Water features

Water features whether stand alone or garden ponds, promote relaxation and stimulate positive, tranquil vibes in small and large gardens. They also attract wildlife. 

A water feature of any kind in your garden will help you relax, keep cool on hot days, bring a feeling of tranquillity to your garden space and perhaps most importantly, attract wildlife to your garden. Transform your garden into a paradise for nature that will attract all kinds of stunning wildlife to your home.

Our professional team have built hundreds of wildlife ponds for clients across the Northeast and installed hundreds of water feature too. Yours could be next. Water features and wildlife ponds have become increasingly recognised as a key element of garden design.

Why choose a pond specialist

We don’t build cookie-cutter design ponds.  We don’t install any old water feature. We listen to your wants and needs. Every garden pond design is unique. If you’ve ever thought your garden is missing its centrepiece and you really want your garden to stand out – Green Onion Landscaping can help you.

Support Wildlife

There’s never been a better time to introduce a wildlife pond into your garden. Garden ponds play a vital part in our ecosystem – they support 2/3 of all freshwater species.

The number of ponds in the UK is at an all-time low. It’s estimated by  The Wildlife Trust that in the last hundred years, pond numbers have reduced by half.

Having a wildlife pond built won’t only add a beautiful feature to your garden; you will also be providing a home for the wild creatures who soon may not have a home.

Once your pond is built, it’s only a matter of time before the birds, frogs, dragonflies, and hedgehogs will find it. They’ll be seeking a spot by your pond to live, breed, relax, wash or drink. How exciting is that.

There are a many benefits to installing a water feature or pond in your garden. 

Calming influence

It has been proven that the sound of flowing water is relaxing and invigorating. The soothing sounds of water bubbling will benefit your mental health and wellbeing. Scientific evidence shows that flowing water releases negative ions, which in turn boosts our mood and relieves stress. Sitting by a water feature or pond will lower your blood pressure thus improving our physical and mental health. What’s more enjoyable than relaxing and listening to water while you observe Mother Nature at work.

There are so many water features and pond shapes and sizes to choose from.Most stand alone water features can be bought ready-made and installed with the minimum of fuss by Green Onion Landscaping’s team of experts. From water feature cascades, blades, wall fountains, small or bubbling water pools, there’s lots of designs to choose from. If you’d prefer a wildlife pond in your garden we can design and install this for you too. The choice is yours. Whether you have a small or large garden is of no importance to us, we are happy to install water features or ponds of any size in any size garden. 

Air quality improvement 

Studies suggest that negative ions can offset the health impacts of air pollution in our city environments. Water reduces allergens, pollen and germs and make us healthier. This is a huge benefit to installing water features or a pond in your garden space. The trickling and bubbling noise of water can significantly reduce noise pollution, for example road noise or machinery noise that may be outside your home. 

Green Onion Landscaping’s team of professionals have installed water features and ponds in many gardens that we have landscaped. These have included garden ponds, wildlife ponds, stand-alone water features, free-flowing waterfalls, or intricate water feature structures.

Low maintenance

The majority of stand alone water features constantly recycle their water supply so there’s little to no work involved there. All you need to do is plug it in, sit back, relax and enjoy a the sound of your water feature on your garden patio. A wildlife pond, if constructed correctly by our experts also requires very little maintenance.

We appreciate that in new build homes space can some times be limited, however, a patio or even a conservatory can accommodate a spouting garden ornament, a pebble pool, or a miniature water feature. Smaller water features make excellent ‘child-safe’ options for younger homeowners too.

Kerb appeal

An outdoor water feature or pond will add instant beauty to your garden space. They bring life and peace to your garden while also improving property value and boosting the kerb appeal of your home. Adding a water feature such as a pond, can also help make your outdoor space look bigger through its reflection.

Garden water features and ponds look amazing and sound beautiful. They create a wonderfully relaxing, tranquil environment in your garden. A space to relax with our families and friends. They can also create a stunning focal point to your garden landscape. Whether your water feature is on the patio, a wildlife pool at the foot of the garden, a bubbling cobble fountain, or a rocky waterfall, a water feature is guaranteed to add another wonderful dimension of enjoyment to your landscaped garden.

Attracts wildlife 

When there’s a source of water in your garden from a stand alone water feature or a pond, you can expect birds, frogs, hedgehogs, butterflies and other insects to visit. Water features will provide hydration and sustenance to the wildlife. In the summer months birds will come and wash or drink.  Water features hugely encourage biodiversity in our gardens and a healthy ecosystem. This is as well as offering a tranquil setting for you and your family to relax in.
