Lakes, ponds and water gardens

Whether it’s a formal reflective pool or a more naturalistic wildlife pond, our work focuses on preserving water quality, plant health, and overall aesthetic appeal.

 

Our water services include:

  • Pond cleaning and clearing – removal of debris, silt, and excessive plant growth to restore clarity and function
  • Targeted pond planting – selecting and installing aquatic and marginal plants that suit your pond’s conditions and encourage biodiversity
  • Ongoing maintenance – regular checks, seasonal cutbacks, algae management, and water level monitoring
  • Wildlife-sensitive care – maintaining balance for frogs, fish, insects, and birdlife without disturbing their habitat

 

We tailor our approach to each pond’s unique needs, combining practical expertise with a light touch to ensure your water feature remains a thriving part of the garden.

Maintaining substantial gardens takes dedication, organisation, commitment, management and sometimes reliable heavy machinery.

 

At A.S. Gardens we recognise that the need for individuals and businesses to hire equipment to undertake larger one-off projects is required.  A.S. Gardens Avanti Loader is a practical and universal machine for a number of different requirements including lifting, shifting, digging ougering, and much more.

 

The Avant 760i Loader comes ready for hire with a 1450mm GP bucket and 1100mm pallet forks. It can also be hired with 3 different sized auger drills (3 flights 8”, 12” & 24” ) as well as a pot grabber tool.  The machine can be hired with or without a skilled driver.

Avant’s telescopic boom makes it possible to have a very compact machine with a great outreach and lift capacity. When the telescopic boom is retracted it is possible to lift heavier loads. With the boom fully extended, the reach and lift height are unparalleled.

 

In many cases, it is possible to load a trailer from one side thanks to the outreach of the telescopic boom and still have excellent all-round visibility.

 

All articulated Avant loaders are equipped with a hydrostatic drive system. There is a hydraulic drive motor on each wheel. The drive circuit is equipped with valves with which traction can be controlled in different situations.
