Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum had an ambitious vision: to transform its existing gardens into a ‘living laboratory’ that would inspire public engagement, advance conservation science, and improve biodiversity.
Monk Bridge Regeneration Project
Reimagining an historic structure through regeneration landscaping. Creating a vibrant elevated park that connects the public whilst celebrating its Victorian heritage.
Teesside Shopping Park

The Glebe
This development posed unique technical and aesthetic challenges. The site’s prestigious location in the heart of old Chelsea demanded the highest design standards to blend seamlessly with its historic surroundings.
Walpole Park
Ealing Council, had a clear yet ambitious vision, to restore the park’s Regency-era character and reconnect the landscape with Soane’s original design principles. Focusing to enhance accessibility and visitor experience for future generations.
Water is unforgiving: small errors in design or execution become costly, visible problems. Successful pond & lake construction balances earthworks, liners, hydraulics, ecology, and user safety – sequenced to programme and delivered with care. Without that integration, assets suffer from leaks, turbidity, bank failure, and spiralling maintenance.
Gavin Jones aligns engineering with ecology. We shape basins to manage flows, calm silt, and protect banks; we specify liners and water retaining structures that last; and we size pumps and filtration to sustain clarity efficiently. Our approach focuses on lifecycle performance – so assets remain attractive, compliant, and cost-effective.
As experienced pond construction contractors, we handle the logistics many avoid: temporary works, cranage, live-site phasing, traffic management, and permits/consents. We coordinate seamlessly with hard landscaping, paths, planting, and wider infrastructure to deliver a coherent place – not just a waterbody.
The outcome is dependable water: clear, stable, and biodiverse, with robust structures under the surface. Budgets go further, users enjoy the space, and estates teams inherit an asset that’s practical to manage – not a maintenance headache.
