Waterside gardens in Somerford Keynes

Somerford Keynes is a Cotswold-stone village at the heart of the Water Park, with the lakes at Neigh Bridge on its doorstep. We design and build considered gardens here: lakeside planting and hard landscaping, natural ponds and water features, waterside decking, and outdoor living for the way these gardens are used through the summer.

The ground is the whole story

Somerford Keynes sits on Cotswold limestone and river gravel over a high water table, the legacy of the Water Park lakes. Water sits close to the surface, which is why natural ponds suit this ground so well and why drainage, levels and planting must be planned around a table that rises through winter. We survey first and build for what is actually under the garden.

Planning in Somerford Keynes

Somerford Keynes sits within or close to the Cotswold National Landscape, where the rules on materials, levels and structures are stricter, and waterside work brings its own considerations. We tell you what applies to your plot before we start, and point you to Cotswold District Council where a check is needed.
