A Japanese style water garden created entirely by us, including all planting. These white rocks were requested as it reminded the client of her childhood in Japan.
Wildlife / Fish Ponds / Water Features
We specialize in every style of water feature and pond, from sleek contemporary steel rills to cottage garden ponds, koi ponds to wildlife ponds.
We bring artistry and flair to our projects, along with in depth technical experience.
Bespoke ponds with built-in filtration. We use a unique filtration system know as 'Ecosystem Filtration' without the need for ugly plastic factory filters that clog, breakdown and become a headache.
Re-lining old ponds and lakes is another specialty - when thinking about having this done, consider where the water and sludge can be pumped to.
Above is one of our water gardens comprising a stream, cascades and pond.
Pondless Waterfalls
Water falls from a cascade onto a gravel layer below and seemingly sinks into the floor, however a hidden chamber transports water back to the top of the feature. They give a modern yet natural atmosphere and are sure to be the main spectacle of any garden. Find out more.
Above we are creating a water retention reservoir to keep stored water out of sunlight under what will be a false bottom. This was to receive significant run-off from a series of roofs.
Prebuilt Water Features/Fountains
Water urns, spill bowls and other premade water features which we will supply and install for you. Find out more.
About Us
Meet the team, Lynne, Richard, Ben and Conor. Willow dog takes care of excavation.
Based in Hertfordshire, Creative Cascades design and build natural rock water features for residential and commercial landscapes.
We create aquatic landscapes in the form of streams, waterfalls and ponds which accommodate all kinds of wildlife. We put on emphasis on personalization so that your feature is truly unique. You can choose the type of rock, size and scope of the feature, the number of pools and cascades. Whatever your vision or budget, we can work to it.
All of our features come with internal filtration; both stunning and reliable, our features will remain crystal clear and require full cleans just once annually.
While our primary service has always been design and construction, we have also done our fair share of pond cleaning and maintenance. We are often called out to clean ponds constructed by others and are consistently staggered by the condition of ponds we come across. Often features which are just a year old are filled with either sludge or algae and it is rare for us to find a pond with clear water. We have always built our own ponds using ecosystem filtration, a method created and commonly used in America, where the water feature industry is far more developed. utilising a range of filtration processes which mimic mother nature, water quality in our features stays healthy and naturally clear and we find it far superior to using premade filters or chemical filtration. We have never constructed a feature which didn't have crystal clear water when we returned to clean it.
