Water feature

6 years ago

Dear John I love the water feature (in fact the whole patio). I assume the steel or copper feature was custom made (could you recommend a company?) and is the whole water feature (including the pebble beds) re-circulating or is there a tab and a drain involved. Thank you very much. Cornelia

Hi Cornelia, I'm glad you like it. The wall is untreated copper so will patinate over time. Yes it's completely custom made and was tricky due to the size although with clever welding we managed to avoid any visible seams so that it appears to be a solid wall. The company I used was fairwater.co.uk . They used their own fabricator to actually make the wall The water feature has a separate chamber (just out of picture and housed underneath the deck with two pumps (one for the waterfall and the other to circulate the water when the feature is switched off) and brominator to maintain water clarity. It can be both tricky and costly to do water well but it is worth investing as you will then have a low maintenance feature which should serve you well for years.

May I suggest since you are going to be weed fighting for a time, that you cut a curving path or track to place dg over gravel on with a border, and rake in native wildflower seed after the next rain - see if you have a native plant society and phone to ask who is the commercial restoration seed supplier in your region ( it will be lovely things like lupine, lacy whites, ) They will have a stock mix for your area and that will bring you some simple loveliness whilst you determine more long term goals . .. the larger elements provide some nice shelter and enclosure here . . . possible you would want to go up the slope to where you've a nice view and make a larger area (again, using edge or pavers for edge, put down gravel then decomposed granite or chip seal (local term here, sorry) - something that will drain and provide a destination for a short ramble eventually, you might plant a garden along the way from here to there .. . don't tear anything out that is established . . as with trimming it will give you a mix of sizes so you can layer in the garden

What do you think of putting curtains hanging from the ceiling..light and airy. On the back wall a low, long table where you could put a water feature or candles, or a few Quartz lamps. What about birch wallpaper on that back wall or distressed wood. A lowered bed witih lot's of pillows

Gosh, I've returned after a week travelling for work to loads more suggestions - thanks all! To respond specifically: - the house faces south so gets the lovely morning (and in the uk, sometimes the only) sun. - the husband has avoided putting plants in the planters due to maintenance and they're generally twee so comments here have confirmed to me that they will be coming out - love the idea of wooden boxes with the spiky plants and grasses - also like the concept of taking out the grass/bed/tree in front completely out and replacing with slabs - yes to lightening the windows - to the Barn company, I honestly don't mind the advice and I'd never seen sloping garage roofs. - nicking ideas from landscaping of new builds....great idea! - finally, Helen Scholes, I'm embarrassed about the spelling of kerb. Had no idea! Thanks again all.

We're a metal fabricators based in South London but have made similar things before out of steel but perhaps not this big!
