Natural swimming pools in Cambridgeshire.

Yes. We cover Cambridge, Ely, the Fens and surrounding towns and villages from our base in Bury St Edmunds. Send us your postcode and some details about your garden so we can discuss the project and the most useful next step.

Possibly. The usable footprint needs to accommodate swimming, filtration, safe access and the garden you want to retain. A living pool or more defined natural pool may suit a different brief from a planted swimming pond. Approximate dimensions and photographs help us explore the options rather than recommend a style too early.

Our swimming ponds start from £45,000, with natural pools and living pools from £80,000, excluding VAT. These are starting guides, not a quotation for every garden. Pool size, access, ground conditions, filtration, finishes and surrounding landscaping all need to be considered in your individual proposal.

The answer depends on the property, the proposed works and any restrictions affecting the site. Listed properties, protected settings and changes beyond the existing garden need particular care. Check the position with the relevant planning authority before committing to construction rather than assume that a natural design is automatically exempt.

We would assess the particular plot before recommending a construction approach. Groundwater, ground stability, drainage and the proposed depth can influence the design and the investigations needed. A postcode alone cannot establish whether a site is suitable or what additional work it may require.

It is worth raising at the first conversation, especially where access, drainage or other proposed works could affect the channel or its flow. Watercourse consent is a separate consideration from planning permission and the relevant authority depends on the location and type of watercourse. Simply having a ditch nearby does not establish that consent is required.

Yes. Our visualisation process helps you explore the pool in relation to your garden, including its shape, planting and surrounding spaces. It is a useful way to refine the proposal, while technical details and site requirements are developed separately.

Yes, and it is helpful to discuss it before access routes, walls and finished terraces are fixed. Share any available drawings so pool levels, services, landscaping and construction sequencing can be considered together, with responsibilities agreed between the people involved.

The routine depends on the pool and its filtration system, but natural does not mean maintenance free. Cleaning, removing unwanted debris, checking equipment and caring for any planted zones are part of ownership. We explain the appropriate routine and can discuss servicing support for your pool.

A postcode, a few garden photographs, rough dimensions and an idea of your budget are a helpful start. Tell us whether swimming, planting, appearance or a wider garden project is your priority. You do not need to have selected a pool type before booking a free design consultation.
