Ground conditions and typical properties
Shepperton sits on the north bank of the Thames, connected to Walton by Walton Bridge. It has a distinct character: riverside properties near the church and the ferry crossing, the studio-area roads with their period housing, and more modern residential streets further from the river.
The river proximity means some Shepperton gardens experience higher groundwater than those further inland. On flat riverside plots water doesn't run off naturally, so drainage has to be actively built into the design. We plan for this at the groundworks stage, before any paving or structure goes down.

Ponds and water features
Water features suit Shepperton gardens, and they're one of the things we build most here. Koi ponds, swimming ponds, ornamental ponds and water features, constructed EPDM-qualified, with the stonework and surrounding drainage part of the same build. We set the levels and drainage first so the water goes where it's meant to, not where the ground sends it. The same team carries the build from excavation to the last slab; we don't subcontract the parts that matter.
