Prescription

Pond Perscription (1-2-1 Design Consultations) 

Get your pond or water feature right first time, with a clear plan, correct sizing, and no expensive mistakes.

If you’re building a custom feature, waterfall, or negative edge system, guessing your pump or layout can lead to poor performance, wasted money, and frustration.

This is where a Pond Prescription comes in.

From Pond Pain to Pond Pride

Whether you’re starting from scratch or fixing an existing problem, we guide you through a proven system:

• Reset – fix what’s gone wrong
• Stabilise – stop issues returning
• Enhance – improve performance and appearance
• Maintain – keep it simple and effortless

Whether you’re planning a new installation, upgrading an existing feature, or troubleshooting issues like poor flow, incorrect pump sizing, or filtration problems, this one-to-one session gives you clear, practical advice backed by decades of hands-on experience.

What is a Pond Perscription?

A Pond Prescription is a one-to-one design session where we map out your system properly — so everything works together from day one.

We don’t just recommend products.
We design how the whole system flows.

Who This Is For

• Custom ponds and water features
• Negative edge / infinity edge builds
• Waterfalls and stream systems
• DIY projects needing clarity before buying
• Troubleshooting poor flow, noise, or performance

If your project isn’t “off-the-shelf”, this is for you.

How It Works – Before Booking

Before you purchase, please send us a few details via WhatsApp or email—photos, measurements, and any relevant points of reference—so we can prepare and maximise the value of your session.

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Project

Send us your photos, measurements, sketches, and any useful reference points by email or WhatsApp. This helps us understand your feature before the session and make the time as valuable as possible.

Step 2: Choose the Right Level of Support
Choose Mark “The Pond Advisor” for strategic, design-led advice on custom builds, negative edges, waterfalls, and more advanced projects.
Choose TEAM AnyPond for product guidance, installation support, and technical help with pumps, filtration, and system components.

Step 3: Book the Time You Need
Choose 15, 30, or 60 minutes depending on the complexity of your project. Simple product questions may need less time, while custom designs and troubleshooting often benefit from a longer session.

Once you’ve placed your order, we’ll contact you to finalise the details and schedule a suitable time.

Step 4: Get Your Pond Prescription
During your one-to-one session, we’ll help you make sense of your system, avoid costly mistakes, and recommend the right next steps for your build, upgrade, or fix.

Need More In-Depth Support?

For larger or more complex projects, a Pond Prescription is often the first step.

If you’d like hands-on support, on-site design, or a full day working through your project in detail, we also offer a Private Day with Mark “The Pond Advisor.”

This is ideal for:

• Full garden or multi-feature projects
• Negative edge and advanced systems

A full day allows us to go deeper into design, layout, and execution, ensuring every detail is considered before work begins.
