Water Gardens

Water Gardens in England

Incorporating moving water into garden design has never been so popular. Our desire to be near water draws us back to our roots. It evokes a sense of well being and relaxation and is proven to reduce stress levels in our hectic lives.
Water gardens are also increasingly important with accelerated wetland habitat loss all over England. It is amazing to watch how quickly nature makes a home in your garden when given the correct habitat to flourish. Your garden will not only look great, your wildlife will love it too.

At Kent Aquatics we have a passion for creating natural water gardens. There is something special when you observe mating crested newts displaying to each other in the flow of garden stream that we have constructed. We have the expertise to handle all aspects of your water garden. From design to construction. Landscaping and plant management. Water chemistry analysis.
