Our mission
At DU Waterscapes, we educate and inspire people to embrace naturally balanced water-gardening so that they can reconnect with nature for the proven benefits to their mental and physical health. We combine both natural processes and applied sciences to achieve water-gardening excellence by increasing biodiversity and the abundance of native flora and fauna in order to repair, protect and restore habitats throughout the UK.
No moving parts
The Riparian Zone is where the land meets the water and are the most biodiverse biomes on planet Earth. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of land, these are in sharp decline as farmers and builders develop right up to the water's edge. Our stillwater ponds are filled with hydrophilic (water loving) plants to do our bit to repair, protect and restore these habitats, creating homes for our important invertebrates and amphibians.
With no filters or moving parts, this is a simple system that needs little maintenance, however, this is not suitable if you are hoping to keep fish, for these, you will need an Ecosystem pond.
Making a Home for Nature
During the past century nearly 70% of pond ecosystems have been lost from the British countryside. This is why we are so passionate about designing and creating stillwater ponds to enhance any garden space, enticing a huge abundance of wildlife to seek refuge and call your garden space their home. Our stillwater ponds are a cost effective way to create a stunning living feature in your garden that changes daily as the seasons flow through.

Our Ponds
The Creeping Jenny
Stillwater Pond - 1.8m x 2m from £4,995

The Marsh Marigold
Stillwater Pond - 2 x 3m from £6,995
This pond is big enough to dabble your toes in whilst you watch the dragonflies and bees going about their daily business. With a large surface area of pebbles and gravel for beneficial bacteria to grow, they will soon be dining on any debris that may fall into the pond to keep it crystal clear for you.
The Yellow Flag Iris
Stillwater Pond - 3 x 4m from £9,995
This pond is our most popular and packs a visual punch to your garden without breaking the budget. With 14m of riparian zone, and plenty of space for two large water lilies, this will be a beautiful place that both you and the wildlife can enjoy.
The Purple Loosestrife
Stillwater Pond - 4 x 5m from £18,995
With its extra deep centre, larger water lilies and other deep water marginal plants can thrive, creating an underwater forest for aquatic animals to enjoy. The larger rocks also help to create a more natural feel to the space.
The Typha
Stillwater Pond - 5 x 6m from £24,995
This impressive pond will soon develop a dynamic but balanced ecosystem around this large body of water. It won’t be long before it has encouraged plenty of larger predatory animals such as grass snakes and birds of prey as they realise this is a great place to feed.
