Creating a Sustainable Oasis: Leading Builders of Natural Pools and Ponds
Gadd Group specialises in crafting bespoke aquatic ecosystems, including natural pools, fish ponds, pondless waterfalls and water features. Whether for residential, commercial, or municipal landscapes, each water feature is designed to seamlessly integrate with your surroundings, appearing as though it’s always belonged there. Our approach to water landscaping focuses on creating balanced ecologies that not only minimise maintenance but also foster thriving fish and plant life. By harmonising natural elements with innovative design, we ensure your aquatic habitat is not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and healthy. The result? Your backyard is transformed into a breathtaking, all-natural paradise, requiring minimal upkeep while providing endless enjoyment for you and your loved ones.
We Design and Build Natural Ponds and Water Features
When incorporating your natural swimming pond with a habitat garden it will attract a variety of native species including birds, dragonflies, butterflies and frogs, creating a dream garden oasis for both you and your local native wildlife.
Natural Pools
Larger scale natural swimming ponds that are 1m+ deep, are a natural alternative to conventional swimming pools and do not use any chemicals. Instead a wetland filtration system is used that connects to a waterfall, requiring little to no maintenance. Native fish species will be included to naturally reduce mosquito larvae and support a small ecosystem in your chemical-free natural pool.
Aquatic Habitats
A small, medium, or large shallow pond encouraging frogs, dragonflies, bees and butterflies. Native fish species are included to reduce mosquito larvae as well as a waterfall filtration system that creates flow, and a skimmer system to remove surface debris. Our designs discourage cane toads from entering and breeding in your pond. To ensure we are nurturing a healthy native habitat, we provide a natural product containing pheromones to attract and remove any sneaky toad tadpoles.
PONDLESS WATERFALLS​
This feature is designed in small, medium, or large to best utilise your space. Your waterfall will provide a visual and auditory sense of running water without needing to maintain a pond. A perfect no-fuss water feature for those who simply want to experience the tranquillity of running water.
WATER FEATURE DESIGN​
Our water features include water urns and bluestone rock pillars. Water will cascade over into a vault creating a tranquil feature in your garden. Water bubbles up over rock segments like a natural spring. This feature is a perfect addition to a therapeutic garden.
