 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose JDM because of their proximity to my home location and the impression of their website - was glad I did. Contact and communication was outstanding, Jack was completely on-side and helpful, and the work was done quickly and to the highest of standards. My follow-up questions about fish, pond plants, and other, miscellaneous matters were all dealt with, and JDM are my new “go-to” company. Nothing is too much trouble and they are a genuinely helpful, approachable team. Recommended without hesitation, a great company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rang Jack after finding him on line about my leaking pond. He came the same day to see what he could do and he advised to fibreglass it as this would last a lot longer.  He came on the Monday to take out the pond liner and make good for the team to fibreglass the pond. Unfortunately, the bottom of the pond was sand and needed a concrete base which was done the following day and the fibre glassing on the Friday as already planned. Because of the heat they had to finish it on the Monday. I am very pleased with the finished job which will last my life time. All the teams that came to the job were completely professional, friendly and polite. They worked speedily and efficiently. Thank you to everyone involved.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a perfect experience from start to finish. Jack arrived as agreed to view our proposed pond position, we discussed the possibilities and he left us, without any pressure to decide how to proceed, after providing a quotation and various options. We confirmed our preference is agreed a date, and Jack and hiss team arrived on the day, worked very hard in high temperature to complete a wonderful pond , planted and framed with rocks and pebbles. We are very happy, and I have already recommended his business to several friends. Caroline

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JDM ponds were a good company to deal with. They provided a clear estimate, negotiated a convenient start date and stuck to it and completed the works very efficiently. A great team created a wonderful pond which is well dressed with rocks and stones and fits well into the landscape of the garden. We are very pleased with the outcome

Thank you so much for all your and your team's hard work. We are loving our pond very much. We already have a whirligig beetle and a pond skater in residence. 😂

Thank you for totally understanding the brief and delivering above and beyond. We are very impressed with your professionalism, eye for design, attention to detail and great care!

I have had excellent service from JDM Ponds Ltd. The staff are knowledgable and very professional. The new filters that were installed are of excellent quality. I had a slight issue not the fault of the company. It was corrected within 2 days. I will use this company again most definitely highly recommended.

I would highly recommend JDM Ponds — Jack and the team are knowledgeable, hard working, prompt and reliable. They do a brilliant job looking after my pond, which had become overrun with weeds and algae but has been transformed by their regular maintenance into a beautiful, clear feature that I can now enjoy without the stress!
