This company has been formed to provide an eco-sensitive pond and lake construction and maintenance service. Based on knowledge gained through the excellent Pond Warden Scheme (BTCV), yet seeing the limitations of volunteer-based operations, we felt that real progress on the task of restoring the biodiversity, lost through generations of decline in pond use and degradation, could best be addressed commercially. However, we try to commit between 5%-10% of our resources to voluntary projects.

We are determined to do all we can to assist The Million Ponds Project of The Ponds Conservation Trust and adhere as cloely as possible to Dr. Jeremy Briggs' guidelines.

Often our recommendation will suggest less work is undertaken than conventional methods, thus saving energy, money and disturbance. The subject of ecology is so vast, with many fields of study and specialists, that there is almost no limit to the study that could be performed around a pond, so, to provide a reasonable level of care, we have found that approximately 10% of project value is usually a fair allocation to ecological surveys.

This should be considered a rough guide as project works vary and this survey proportion may be increased due to a) our reduction of recommended works or b) the discovery of some very rare issue requiring further investigation. If we encounter such an event (none to date), our rates will be the lowest possible as we would hope to gain publicity benefits from such discovery.
