Large pond renovation in Forest Row, East Sussex

Madeleine’s large planted garden pond in Forest Row with pools and a waterfall
The pond and planting in the project photographs added in early August.

Matt & his team have transformed my pond from a rather neglected eyesore to the envy of all my friends! It’s a very large pond & entailed 2-3 weeks of hard work, not least by Nathalie, who was a force of nature! It was clear from the start that it wasn’t just a job of work - she took a personal interest & the result reflects that. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt & his team for their expertise, hard work & enthusiasm. Thankyou for making my pond something to be proud of!

Madeleine — Forest Row, East Sussex
Checkatrade review, 24 August 2026

We worked on Madeleine’s large garden pond in Forest Row during summer 2026. Her review describes the work involved in bringing the pond back into use and the care Natalie and the team put into the project.

About this visit

Where: Forest Row, East Sussex
Work: Pond renovation, water lily and iris planting, waterfall-flow adjustments
When: Summer 2026

Restoring a large planted garden pond

As part of the work, we repotted the lilies and irises we had saved and potted nine further water lilies for the pond. We also adjusted the return flow with a Y valve so the waterfall was not receiving too much water. The photographs were added to the project in early August, before Madeleine’s review, and show the main pond, new planting and the water flowing over the stone waterfall.
