Pond Build

Lees Building Contractors Ltd designed and built a bespoke garden pond, combining reinforced concrete, concrete blockwork and facing bricks to create a durable, elegant water feature. Finished with Indian sandstone coping stones and fully tanked interiors, this pond seamlessly integrates with the landscape while ensuring long‑term water retention.

Key Works & Features

• Reinforced Concrete Base:
  Poured to engineering specification with steel rebar reinforcement for structural integrity and flatness.

• Concrete Block & Brick Walls:
  Robust blockwork core faced with high‑quality clay bricks to match existing garden walls and create visual continuity.

• Indian Sandstone Coping:
  Precision‑cut coping stones laid with minimal joints, providing a slip‑resistant, aesthetic cap to the pond perimeter.

• Internal Tanking System:
  Applied a cementitious waterproofing membrane to all internal walls and base—guaranteeing a watertight reservoir.

• Integrated Overflow & Drainage:
  Discreet overflow outlets and concealed drainage channels installed to manage water levels and prevent flooding.

Specialist Techniques & Materials

• Structural Reinforcement:
  Grade 500 steel mesh and rebars embedded in C35 concrete for maximum durability.

• Block Bonding:
  High‑strength mortar and chemical damp‑proof course between blockwork and brick facing to prevent moisture migration.

• Sandstone Laying:
  Limestone‑based bedding mortar and neoprene packers for precision alignment and joint consistency.

• Waterproof Tanking:
  Two‑coat application of polymer‑modified cementitious tanking slurry—approved for potable water features.

• Detailing & Finishes:
  Neat brick pointing, recessed weep vents and hidden stainless‑steel fixings for a clean, professional finish.

Why This Project Stands Out

• Durability & Performance: Robust reinforced concrete and tanked interiors ensure decades‑long water retention without leaks.

• Aesthetic Integration: Facing bricks and sandstone coping enhance the garden’s character and tie in with existing masonry features.

• Low‑Maintenance Design: Quality materials and professional detailing minimize algae growth and facilitate easy cleaning.

• Local Craftsmanship: All works executed by our experienced team familiar with West Country materials and techniques.
