How much does a natural pool cost?
A natural swimming pond is a significant garden project, combining excavation, construction, landscaping, planting and a working natural filtration system.
As a guide, our natural swimming ponds typically start from around £70,000.
The final cost depends on the size of the pool, the depth of the swim zone, site access, ground conditions, materials, planting, decking, landscaping and any additional design features.
What is included?
Every Mount Pleasant natural swimming pond is designed around your garden and the way you want to use it. A typical project includes:
Initial design and layout
Excavation and groundworks
Purpose-built swim zone
Submerged separating wall finished with oak sleepers
Planted regeneration zone
EPDM liner system
Gravel filtration beds
Aquatic and marginal planting
Low-energy airlift circulation
Wildlife-friendly skimmer
Finishing details and handover
First-year maintenance visit
Our pools are built as hybrid natural swimming ponds: soft and natural in appearance, but with a properly constructed swimming area at their heart.
What affects the cost?
No two gardens are the same, so every pool is priced individually. The main factors that affect cost are:
Size and depth of the swim zone
Size of the regeneration zone
Ground conditions and excavation requirements
Access for machinery and materials
Spoil removal
Oak edging, jetties, steps or decking
Stone, gravel and planting choices
Lighting, landscaping or additional features
A straightforward project with good access and a simple finish will cost less than a larger pool with complex groundworks, extensive decking or more detailed landscaping. Once we understand your garden, access,
preferred size and design ideas, we can give you a more realistic indication.
