Fantastic customer service

We bought a swimming pool pump from Water-Garden last summer. When we opened up the pool in the spring, everyone mentioned it was very noisy. So I took a video, sent it to Bradley, who said he would send it to the manufacturer and try to get a replacement as it shouldn't be that noisy. Now we have a replacement pump that is roughly half the noise. It would have been easy for Bradley not to have done anything about it - it still worked after all but I was really impressed with the fairness and speed of response. Fantastic customer service

Had the spare part I needed. Contacted customer service via live chat as I input my email address incorrectly, they found my order and assured me it was on its way.

Water diffuser

Found what we wanted on line.after a phone call the help and technical knowledge was excellent. Drove down to meet the supplier and was given a demo of the product's and lots of advice. Fitted the diffuser system our selves and a phone call for a query answer was sorted. Very helpful and friendly.

Thank you for the positive review. I hope the aeration system is performing admirably in the lake, particularly during this spell of hot weather which will no doubt affect the oxygen levels.

Pump and waterfall look great but I…

Pump and waterfall look great but I wasn’t happy that they didn’t have plugs or anything to connect to the electrics

Hi Rachel. Pond pumps and pond equipment in general are not supplied with pre-wired plugs to comply with the UK government's Part P Building Regulations. I'm sorry this affected your review but I hope the waterfall continues to look great for many years to come! Best Regards - Andy @ Water Garden Ltd.

Excellent service and knowledge.

What an amazing company. Called early in the morning and the phone was answered straight away. Exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable person who answered enables me to have the confidence I was purchasing the correct item, without making me feel I should be spending more money than necessary. Then to top it all, matched an online price from another company. What a service. Would recommend to anyone who needs pond equipment or advice.

Excellent customer service, knowledgeable and friendly

Called Water Garden's helpline for advice on what I needed to construct a water feature from separates, spoke to a very helpful man who listened to my plan and talked me through the requirements, all products supplied are working perfectly together, many thanks.

A misleading website!

I have no review on the gardens themselves, and the reason I gave one star is purely because we travelled a long way to buy pond plants, getting stuck in heavy traffic on the way, only to be told that they haven't sold them for a couple of years now, or at least the company who did so no longer do.
Really not good enough. We wasted a lovely day on this project, but as you apparently do not answer negative reviews, this is obviously a waste of time. We would have liked to walk around the gardens but were pretty fed up by this time, so please could you stop saying you sell pond plants when you don't.

I was trying to reply to your comment below but seem unable to do so, so hopefully you will see it here, and while I agree, having gone over you page again, plant sales aren't advertised prominently, it does say by appointment, so apologise for my error.

In 25 years of trading, we have never sold or promoted pond plants. Are you perhaps confusing ourselves with another company? Our website (www.water-garden.co.uk) has no mention of pond plants, other than in our articles and FAQs designed for helping people research about pond and water feature construction.
Would you be kind enough to let us know where we might have gone wrong in this instance and perhaps point out where we might have mislead you? Many thanks – Andy @ Water Garden Ltd.

I have been a client for over 10 years and never have I been failed by them.
If you're looking for a top tier pond specialist retailer, look no further. This shop provides an exceptional range of products and services that cater to all your pond related needs. From the moment you speak to them it is evident that they are experts in their field.
They offer professional advice from pond construction and maintenance to water treatment ensuring you get exactly what you need for your specific project.

The selection of products is outstanding whether you are building a new pond, upgrading or simply maintaining your current set up they have everything you could possibly need, from pumps, filters, and liners to water features, fish food and decorative items. They provide only the highest quality brands.
The customer service is beyond excellent.

The staff take the time to listen to your questions and provide thoughtful, tailored recommendations that suit your need and budget. they even offer troubleshooting help, providing advice on how to keep your pond thriving throughout the seasons.

I can't recommend this pond specialist retailer highly enough, whether you are looking for expert advice or high-quality products they truly offer it all.

keep up the great work.

Absolutely appalling service

Absolutely appalling service. We bought a pondless waterfall, however when installing the tubing it was noted that there were holes in it, causing leaks. We therefore went and bought new tubing. My husband emailed the company about the issue and received a very shocking curt reply. Pictures of the holes were enclosed. He then wrote an email to the MD who also was very dismissive claiming that they did not stock that kind of tubing, however it is clearly shown on the website that it is exactly the same! I felt I had to write a review as my husband does not want to continue with this matter any further. My husband is also an MD and always talks about customer service and the importance of customer satisfaction which was clearly very lacking from this company.

Velda Fish Feeder Pro

Purchased the Velda Fish Feeder Pro. Excellent bit of kit, with a huge 3 litre dry food reservoir. Control screen was a little difficult to read in bright sunshine, but were happy to replace under warranty - arrived in 24hrs, now installed and whole system is loaded, connected, timings and schedule set and working perfectly. Great communication and follow-up aftersales. I will be back to check if they can help with other pond issues.

Pond was made too shallow

Pond, installed by Jack at Water Garden, was made too shallow, approx 6 inches deep despite my asking for a minimum of at least 2 foot deep as anything less is not suitable for wildlife, also creates a huge algae problem. Materials were over ordered, I did not need a quarter of what was ordered, excess then left on my drive for months afterwards. Filtration already broken after one year and no contact or aftercare to help resolve these issues. Would not recommend

Hello Jackie,

I'm extremely sorry you have had a bad experience with your installer. We offer expert advice and the supply of the equipment. We do not offer installation services ourselves. So I am unable to help you with the problems you had with your pond design and build, but hopefully we can help elsewhere.

Firstly please reach out to us with the name of the company that performed the install. We work with a number of landscapers across the UK. If it was one of our recommended installers we can reach out to them on your behalf, and if necessary, have them removed from our list of verified installers.
I highly recommend writing them a review too, so they have the opportunity to address the issue themselves.

Secondly if your filter is already broken after only one year, and it was purchased from us, then it will be under warranty. Most, if not all of our filters have an extended warranty. So if you get in contact with your order number, we can track down the type of filter and you can talk us through what's wrong. It should then be a simple case of us sending you a part to fix the filter, or a new filter entirely.

Kind Regards,
Jo
