Why us?
At Natural Poolscapes we are passionate about nature, about wild-life and about cold water swimming. Our clients have reported stunning wildlife that now inhabits their gardens, one has a kingfisher as a regular visitor.
​
We can design your pool to fit your garden and your budget. We make sure that we understand how you want to use the pool and take that into account as we design. We fit the water into the landscape, making your pool an integral part of your home, garden and lifestyle.
​
We are a family run business, our small team will be with you from design to completion.
​
We are based near Canterbury in Kent. We are happy to travel into neighbouring counties.
What makes us different?
First we were landscapers
Nick has been landscaping and building gardens for 30 years. His award winning gardens often contain water of some sort, whether a wildlife pond, a water feature or a formal rill. Our progression to building natural swimming pools has been fuelled by demand, so many clients are now wanting the benefits of wild swimming at home. Creating natural pools that compliment the landscape, giving the feeling that they have always been there is our passion. Water that augments the beauty of nature, whatever style of pool you are after, we will make it work in your landscape
We understand planting
The health of a natural pool depends on a complex system of planting and wildlife that form a balanced eco system. The water is filtrated through plants and layers of aggregates that work together to create a perfect storm, one that will ensure that your swimming area is crystal clear all year round. Our many years of landscaping in the South East has given us the experience and knowledge to understand the complexity of these natural systems and the nuances that are required in different soils and areas. Whether you go for a regeneration area that is all around your pool, giving a more natural lake-like feel or a structured pool with a regeneration area on just one side, we will make it work perfectly for you.
We understand wild swimming
Lucy is an avid wild swimmer, both in the sea and in fresh water. Having survived her first winter of sea swimming, she is fascinated by the health benefits, both physically and mentally. See her blog, Why cold water?
