Natural Swimming Pools

Natural Swimming Pools

Gary has been installing and advising on natural pools for over 10 years. Pools we have created range from 6m splash pools up to 30m+ swimming lakes.

Natural Filtration

We can advise on natural filtration techniques to give you crystal clear water for swimming. We recommend a blend of aquatic plants, bio filtration and UV lamps to ensure clean, fresh water. Using no chlorine or salts means that natural pools contribute to the local environment and wildlife.

Aquatic Plants

Over the years Gary has hand picked the best aquatic plants to suit our Mediterranean climate. We grow a lot of our own stock including lilies, lotus, aquatic grasses and a whole range of other aquatics. We can help you pick the right blend of flowering and filtering plants to balance your pool.

New & Pool Conversions

We have the knowledge to guide you through a new natural pool, where we can help scope the best position with you, or convert existing chlorine/ salt pools or dilapidated irrigation ditches into beautiful natural pools with crystal clear water! Check out some examples below!

Design, Install... Swim

If you are looking for a new natural pool we can help you take your idea to reality. Whether you’re looking for a small splash pool for the kids or a large pool with a deep swimming area we have the expertise to help you site, conceptualise, design and install your natural pool.

Let's Get Digging

We can guide the installation of small splash pools up to large 30m+ swimming lakes, in the middle of your lawn if you like! We advise on the best diggers to use, from 1.5 to 20 tonne, to dig out a pool that suits your requirements and works with your land. We can work with you to design beautiful forms from the land giving you a natural looking pool.

Help Wildlife

Adding a natural pool to your garden not only gives you a great place to relax and cool down in the summer… It also brings an abundance of wildlife, helping to boost your local ecosystem. We regularly spot kingfishers, herons, dragonflies, butterflies and a whole range of other wildlife around our pools.

Transform your Existing Pool

We have helped many customers stuck with existing traditional swimming pools to create beautiful natural pools. Working with the existing shape we can advise on extending your pool, to creat clever underwater forms for planting areas or even multiple swimming areas to suit your needs.

Natural Surrounds

Utilising a blend of stone, pebbles, grasses and other plants we can blend your old pool into your garden. We’ll work with you to choose the most suitable materials to suit your needs and preference – visitors won’t even be able to tell that your old pool was there before!

No More Chlorine!

Chlorine and salt are very harmful to the planet. Both are poisons and actually kill wildlife that come near your pool in order to keep your water “clean”… but that isn’t the only way to do it. With clever biological filters, UV light and natural plant filtration you can have clear water and support nature.
