True Craftsmanship

The craftsmanship behind each water feature is a labor of love and dedication. Jeremy personally collects the slate by hand from the Trevillett Quarry, carefully selecting the largest stones to begin the transformation. These stones are then painstakingly split, shaped, and rounded by hand to create individual slate pieces, each one unique in texture and character. The process of assembling these pieces is like solving a giant, intricate 3D puzzle—meticulously piecing together each segment to form the perfect spherical shape. But the artistry doesn't stop at the workshop. Jeremy ensures that every water feature is flawlessly installed, overseeing the process until the water flows smoothly and evenly over each slate piece, achieving that perfect, serene effect. With his attention to detail, Jeremy’s commitment to excellence is present in every step, ensuring your feature is nothing short of perfection.

Our story

Elegant and Timeless

Our handcrafted water features blend natural beauty with modern sophistication, available in two stunning slate finishes to suit every garden style and size. Choose the pure grey slate for a clean, contemporary look—perfectly complementing modern garden designs, sleek outdoor offices, and minimalist bi-folding doors. Its cool, refined tones bring a sense of calm and cohesion to modern spaces. For a more classic appeal, our rustic slate offers warm, rich brown undertones that harmonize beautifully with traditional gardens. This earthy option pairs effortlessly with heritage stonework or modern rustic elements like corten steel planters and fencing, adding depth and character to your outdoor sanctuary. Crafted for beauty and durability, each piece is a celebration of natural material and thoughtful design.

Our story

Strength in Stone

Slate is a metamorphic rock formed over millions of years, making it incredibly dense, durable, and water-resistant—ideal for outdoor environments. Its low porosity means it won’t absorb water easily, resisting weathering, frost damage, and erosion. As a water feature material, slate excels both functionally and aesthetically. It offers a natural texture that enhances water flow, creating a soothing, cascading effect. Over time, it ages beautifully, developing subtle character without compromising structural integrity. Whether in sleek, modern grey or rustic, earthy tones, slate combines resilience with visual elegance—making it a perfect, long-lasting choice for any garden setting.
