Waterscapes specialises in the design, installation and long-term care of architectural and commercial water features across the UK. From landmark fountains in public realm schemes to bespoke reflection pools in corporate developments, we design and deliver features that perform reliably and stay visually striking for decades.
Their work covers the full project lifecycle. Waterscapes contribute at concept stage alongside architects and landscape architects, deliver the installation on site in coordination with main contractors and M&E consultants, and stay on as the maintenance contractor once the feature is live. Whether you need specialist design input on a scheme at RIBA Stage 2 or a dedicated team to install, refurbish or maintain an existing system, we work in whatever role suits the project.
Waterscapes work with landscape architects, developers, main contractors and facilities managers. Every feature we design is specified to integrate properly with the wider architectural scheme, meet relevant commercial water quality standards, and remain practical to operate and maintain once occupied.
Waterscapes has dedicated teams of experienced, skilled engineers and fitters to carry out all mechanical and electrical installation work for each irrigation, water feature and rainwater recycling project.
During all stages of the installation process, close liaison with the client, construction contractor and other associated sub-contractors and trades is paramount, to ensure the installation proceeds efficiently and to the required exacting standards.
Effective project management is the key to a successful development, and Waterscapes' project managers closely follow the progress of every project, attending meetings and producing works programmes to keep all project stakeholders informed.
Waterscapes is an approved electrical contractor under the NICEIC scheme and can provide full certification of all installation work carried out.
Waterscapes is also a full member of the BTLIA (British Turf & Landscape Irrigation Association) and is required to maintain the highest standards of service as members.
Waterscapes offer a full installation & maintenance service for new and existing water features, with refurbishment and retrofitting carried out by our highly skilled engineers.
All completed work is covered by extensive workmanship guarantees.
How they work
Waterscapes work in a variety of sectors from large commercial construction projects to local authorities as well as private clients. Their services include mechanical & electrical installation, refurbishment works; waterproofing of pools & structure and bespoke sculptures.
From concept to the finished feature, each step of the process is made as inclusive as possible. Waterscapes makes sure all aspects of your water feature design and installation are delivered to the agreed specifications and schedule.
Types of water features Waterscapes design and install
Waterscapes work across the full range of architectural and commercial water features:
Reflection pools in corporate, hospitality and public realm schemes.
Rills and water channels running through plazas, gardens and arrival spaces.
Fountains, including jet displays, interactive fountains and sculptural feature fountains.
Water walls and cascades as interior or exterior focal points.
Formal water features and reflective basins within structured landscape schemes.
Ponds within commercial and managed landscape projects.
Custom and bespoke water features developed to a specific architectural brief.
Materials and finishes
Water features are specified in materials that work for the architectural context and the operational environment:
Natural stone including limestone, granite, slate and sandstone.
Stainless steel for contemporary schemes and long-term durability.
Bronze and copper where patina and material character matter.
Glass panels for illuminated or layered water walls.
Composite materials where weight or budget are constraints.
Waterscapes work with the design team on material selection, considering the visual intent, the water quality implications, and the long-term maintenance requirements.
