About us

gartenART are the leading UK company in the design and construction of natural swimming pools, having built approximately 50 natural pools since we were established in 2003. 

At gartenART our philosophy is that water design and technology for the 21st century is about creatively blending the best of the old and the new.  Natural pools are so successful because they work with nature rather than against it, and at the same time we continually look for new ways to improve our technology and services further still.

Why gartenART?

- We are one of the longest established natural swimming pool companies in the UK, and have built more natural pools than anyone else in this country. We have a track record of success and you are welcome to talk to our customers and visit their pools.

- We believe the effectiveness of our technology is second-to-none.  We use as our technical consultants a German company called Polyplan, who lead the international natural swimming pool community in the development and application of new technology for both residential and large public natural swimming pools.

- However, we are not a franchisee.  This means we can adapt our technology to suit every situation, based on our understanding of "first principles" rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

- We offer a variety of build options.  We can design and build everything ourselves, or we can work with you or local contractors.

- We offer a variety of design options, ranging from formal to natural, and with proportions for the filtration area ranging from 20% to 50%.

- In short, our speciality is the unique combination of expertise and experience in three essential areas - design, construction and technology.

Our team

We also have great people!  All our design and construction work is carried out in-house by highly-skilled and long-standing teams, of whom the key members are:

  Tim Evans, owner and managing director, co-founded gartenART in 2003 and has a wealth of experience in all aspects of natural swimming pool design, construction, technology and project management.  Tim is the main initial customer contact and oversees all projects from conception to completion.
 
Frank Drewes, head of design, is a qualified landscape architect with over 15 years' experience in garden design and landscape architecture in Italy, Germany and the UK.  As well as leading the design for each project, he also ensures that on the project management side each project is carried out smoothly to plan and schedule.  In his four years with us Frank has worked on 40 swimming pond projects.  
 
  Erin Sugrue joined our design team two years ago from New Zealand and works closely with Frank in the office.  Along with Frank she will be your main contact at the design stage.  She is also an expert in water plants and always visits the site during the planting stage.
 
Jose Lopez, foreman, leads our construction team and has over 15 years experience and a wealth of knowledge in hard and soft landscaping in the USA and the UK.  His dedication, energy and commitment to his work are outstanding, and he will be your main face-to-face contact on site during the construction stage. Since joining us in 2007 he has built over 20 swimming ponds.  
 
  Ohad Oren, assistant foreman, is originally from Israel and joined us three years ago, since when he has worked on the construction of nearly 30 swimming ponds.
 
Ivan Killip, assistant foreman, is originally from New Zealand and has ten years experience in hard and soft landscaping, particularly in golf course management and water features.  He joined us in the summer of 2009.  
 
  Brady Harrison, landscaper, is also from New Zealand and joined us in mid-2008, since when he has helped build around 15 swimming ponds.
 
David Geddis, landscaper, joined us in summer 2009.  He has 25 years' experience in the construction industry and is qualified in groundworks, landscaping, excavation and drainage.

"I would happily recommend gartenART.  I felt immediately that they understood where we were coming from and saw exactly what was needed and how the site could be transformed, right down to the small details.  Their team was so nice, so helpful, always going the extra mile."

Wendy Bathurst, Herts

 
"It was done neatly, tidily and on time.  I really liked the people gartenART put on the job too - really knowledgeable and helpful. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them."

Stephen Margolis, St John's Wood, London

"gartenART were extremely professional and I knew at every stage exactly what was going on,  If I had a question Jose explained everything in layman's terms.  I was expecting a lot more mess and, frankly, more delays, but it was slick, quick and clean"

Sacha Cole, Herts 

"Tim and the team were a pleasure to work with and attended the launch, even following me into the pool one chilly November morning.  True commitment"

Marc Hayton, Managing Director, Foxhills Spa and Resort 

"Would I recommend gartenART?  Absolutely and without hesitation."

Susie Warwick, Greece
