Lake and Pond Construction, Dredging, and Restoration

At Universal Aquaculture, we design, build, and restore ponds, lakes, and

natural swimming ponds to the highest standards. Whether you're looking for

a wildlife-friendly pond, a large ornamental lake, or a natural swimming pool,

we have the expertise and equipment to bring your vision to life.

Pond and Lake Construction

We create bespoke water features tailored to your landscape. From garden

ponds and koi ponds to large estate lakes, our team ensures a perfect

balance of aesthetics, functionality, and long-term sustainability. We use

advanced excavation techniques, including laser-guided equipment, to

achieve precise water levels and planting shelves. Our work encourages

biodiversity, helping to create thriving ecosystems that support wildlife.

Dredging and Lake Renovation

Over time, ponds and lakes accumulate silt and debris, leading to poor water quality, reduced depth, and overgrown vegetation. Our dredging services restore clarity and depth, improving the overall health of your water body. We also offer lake bank stabilisation, planting, and re-profiling, using an amphibious excavator for difficult access areas. Our experience includes work on private estates, nature reserves, and council projects.

Natural Swimming Ponds

We are experts in natural swimming ponds, having designed and built some of the most prestigious projects in the UK. Our work includes the swimming pond at the South Lodge Hotel, the largest dedicated swimming pond in the country. These ponds offer a beautiful, chemical-free alternative to traditional pools, using natural filtration and aquatic plants to maintain crystal-clear water.

A well-designed swimming pond is a year-round asset—stunning in winter with mist rising over the water and a haven for wildlife in the summer. Dragonflies, water lilies, and native plants create a thriving ecosystem that enhances both the beauty and the sustainability of your outdoor space. Whether for private gardens, estates, or luxury hotels, we design bespoke swimming ponds that blend seamlessly into their surroundings while providing a natural, refreshing swimming experience.

Lining and Filtration

We use a range of lining options, including natural clay, butyl rubber, concrete, and fibreglass, selecting the best solution for your site. Our expert knowledge of filtration ensures that each pond maintains clear, healthy water with minimal maintenance.
