Founder

Sarah Murch

Officially she's a landscape designer and natural pool specialist. Unofficially she describes herself as a wild swimmer, avid gardener, animal lover, and dedicated goat keeper with a prize-winning herd of Golden Guernsey goats. 

Gardening has always been Sarah's escapism and in 2001, she combined her creativity and love of gardens to retrain as a garden designer and set about transforming domestic gardens and public landscapes. Read More...

Since training with Biotop shortly afterwards and creating her first natural pool in the family gardens, Sarah has used her biological water filtration expertise and enthusiasm for plants and gardens to bring water and biodiversity to our landscape projects.

Sarah feels privileged to be able to enrich people's lives by giving them an outside space where they can relax and reconnect with nature. And having the chance to bring landscapes to life, build ecosystems and create habitats for wildlife brings her immense satisfaction.

A lot goes into creating a pool and garden from concept to construction. Sarah works with a skilled and enthusiastic team of specialists, all as dedicated as Sarah to creating stunning outside spaces and bringing dreams to reality.

Sarah Murch, drawing board
