Natural Swimming Pools & Garden Landscapes
Pool Construction
At Ellicar, we specialise in the design and construction of beautiful, chemical-free swimming ponds and natural pools that blend seamlessly into their surroundings. Led by one of the UK’s Top 100 Garden Designers, Sarah Murch, our team includes specialists in excavation, TPO lining, bespoke decking, stonework, filtration and planting, ensuring every element of your pool is built to the highest standard.
With over two decades of hands-on experience and a reputation built on trust, craftsmanship and ecological sensitivity, Ellicar pools are enjoyed by families nationwide, from country estates to rural paddocks, heritage gardens to new builds. We’re based in the Midlands and work across the UK.
Our pool construction process is seamless and personal. From the first dig to the final plant, our team handles every detail in-house. No outsourcing, no compromise.
We build pools to last. Every component, from our bespoke steel edging to our Biotop filtration systems, is engineered for long-term performance. Every Ellicar pool is designed with care, built with precision, and tailored entirely to your landscape and lifestyle.
No two pools are the same. We shape each project around your garden, your lifestyle, and your vision. Whether you want a natural pool to relax beside, swim laps in, or host garden parties around - we'll create a space that transforms how you live outdoors.
First is the excavation, construction of the reinforced concrete swim zone and subterranean drainage and profiling of the regeneration zones.
Next is the specialist installation of the pool lining, pipework, flanges, installation of biological filters and pumps, aggregates, in-pool features, planting, connecting to services and filling of the pool.
Our soft landscaping team have years of experience between them and an eye for detail. They plant up and finish off your outside space perfectly, leaving you to enjoy your new pool and garden for years to come.
We're accredited by the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI), Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) and the Horticultural Trade Association (HTA) which means we're recognised for continuously meeting the highest industry standards.
We set the bar high for water quality and hygiene. Utilising world-renowned BIOTOP’s water balancing technology to filter your pool biologically, expect crystal clear water and water hygiene to the German FLL international standard for commercial natural pools.
At each stage of the construction, your pool will be inspected and signed off for quality assurance. Once completed, we commission your pool over a period of time, returning to check plant establishment and water quality. You'll receive a handover with full training in pool maintenance. Each project is completed with an Operations and Design manual and we’re a phone call away should you have any technical questions.
Once we hand over your pool we continue to monitor the water, providing help and aftercare.
We record water tests, monitor plant growth, and maintain pool service data so we understand your pool and water ready to provide professional assistance should you need it.
You’ll also receive reminders for things like turning on the carbonators, starting to fertilise your pool and monitoring plant growth during the summer season.
In addition, you pool will be serviced in winter leaving you with a full service report and water analysis. Some clients enjoy a spring service too, to get their pool ready for the swimming season.
