Welcome to the rock and water website

RHS medal winning garden designer Jack Bartholomew seeks his inspiration from nature as the name of his company – Rock & Water – implies. A keen mountaineer with a passion for geology, he studies the landscape when he is climbing, enabling him to create highly authentic bespoke designs.

Nationally renowned for his original aquatic features, Jack and his team have gained a reputation over the past 13 years for recreating swirling streams, babbling brooks and craggy creeks as the focal point of both residential and commercial gardens. They also use the classic combination of water and natural materials with imaginative planting schemes to craft gardens with a more contemporary look.

  • Specialists in eco gardening and aquatic features.

  • In house construction teams – no sub-contracting of work.

  • Commissions undertaken all over the UK.
