Ponds & Water Gardening
Pond Design, Build & Maintenance
Based in Farnham, and working throughout Surrey and Hampshire, Broadley Aquatics are specialists in the design, construction, renovation, and maintenance of ponds and water gardens.
Perhaps you’re imagining a meandering stream, cascading into a tranquil pool edged in natural stone? Or a natural wildlife pond that blends seamlessly into your garden and offers a haven for local wildlife? Or a raised formal pond with waterfall backdrop, underwater viewing windows and accent lighting? Whatever style it is you’re after, we can create your water garden paradise.
Following an initial site visit, during which we’ll discuss all requirements for your new or renovated pond, we’ll supply a detailed quote and, on request, a bespoke design presentation to bring our proposal to life.
Broadley Aquatics are approved Oase filtration installers.

Pond Maintenance Menu
One of the most labour intense and mucky services, our qualified and experienced team use specialist equipment to ensure your pond is back to its best.
Investing in a Pond Deep Clean increases the health of livestock, plants and wildlife. In most cases, a pond clean is required every 3 to 5 years. Livestock (fish) waste will build up by sinking to the bottom along with detritus, (it is a very smelly, thick and mucky sludge) which needs to be removed to ensure livestock health and well-being. Every pond has a different and specific set of requirements, for example; letting nature take its course in wildlife pond will reduce the amount of deep cleaning required.
Ensuring your pond is being deep clean by experts is imperative. we have specialist equipment, experienced and Qualified Aquatic Specialists with fully-kitted vans for peace of mind.
