Pond and Lake Creation in Lewes — FAQs

Do you build new ponds and lakes in Kent and East Sussex?

Yes. We design and build wildlife ponds across Kent and East Sussex — from new wildlife pond creation on farms, estates and gardens to habitat ponds built to support aquatic plants, amphibians and local biodiversity.

Can you build irrigation reservoirs for farms?

Yes, we construct irrigation and agricultural reservoirs engineered for capacity and reliability, with proper inlet and outlet structures, overflow management, and access for maintenance.

Do you build attenuation ponds?

Yes, we design and build drainage attenuation ponds that capture surface water runoff and release it slowly, meeting SuDS requirements while blending into the landscape.

Can you build a pond on clay soil without a liner?

In some cases, yes. If the clay content is high enough and the soil is properly compacted, a natural clay seal can hold water without any synthetic liner. We assess this during the site survey.
