What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from real customers across Essex, Kent, London and Hertfordshire.

From our first detailed conversation, it was clear William knew his stuff. He took great care of the fish during the process and left me with a sparkling clean pond, a new filter system, and a clear plan for ongoing care. I've already booked a follow-up. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Excellent service, advice, and fast work, all completed by William and his colleague. New pond all completed within two days. Super pleased with the wildlife beach area. Looking forward to the frogs moving back in. Highly recommended.

William turned up at the agreed time on a Sunday morning. He was fully equipped and left the waterfall working well and the area clean. He was approachable all the time and left me with a few hints. All in all he did an excellent job and I can thoroughly recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep should a koi pond be?

Koi ponds should be no less than 2 foot deep, ideally a minimum of 3 foot. This protects fish from temperature extremes and predators such as herons. We always design to the correct depth for your intended fish stock.

How much does a koi pond installation cost?

Koi pond costs start from around £5,000 for a compact, well-filtered feature pond and can range to £20,000+ for large, fully landscaped showpiece ponds. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after a free site visit.

What filtration do I need for a koi pond?

Koi produce significantly more waste than other fish, so filtration must be sized generously. We recommend a system capable of turning over the full pond volume every 1–2 hours, incorporating mechanical settlement and biological filtration.

How long before I can add koi to a new pond?

A new pond needs to complete its nitrogen cycle before stocking - typically 4–6 weeks. We advise on safe methods to accelerate cycling and confirm water parameters are safe before you introduce any fish.

How do I protect my koi from herons?

Herons are a serious threat across Essex, Kent, London and Hertfordshire. Effective deterrents include a pond net, motion-activated water sprinklers, and strategically placed decoy herons. Pond depth also helps - koi at 1.5m+ are significantly harder for herons to reach. We'll advise on the most practical solutions during your consultation.

How often does a koi pond need servicing?

Koi ponds need more frequent attention than standard garden ponds due to the high bio-load koi produce. We recommend monthly maintenance visits during the active season (spring through autumn), including water testing, filter servicing and fish health checks. Quarterly checks during winter are also advisable.

What size koi pond do I need?

As a minimum, we recommend a pond of at least 5,000 litres for a modest collection of koi. Each large adult koi requires roughly 1,000 litres of well-filtered water. Koi also grow - some reaching 60–90cm - so designing a pond for your fish's eventual adult size is always the right approach. We'll help you plan for the collection you want.
