Pond & Habitat Restoration Services
At Sasaquatics, we restore and rewild ponds, lakes, and natural water features across the South West. Whether your pond is leaking, overgrown, or has lost its ecological balance, our experienced team combines practical pond engineering with ecological restoration to bring it back to life.
We work with homeowners, farmers, estates, and community groups—supporting everything from wildlife pond restoration to rewilding projects eligible for ELMS and NEIRF grants.
Our Restoration Services Include
- Pond de-silting and reshaping to improve depth, flow, and habitat diversity
- Liner and natural clay sealing to prevent leaks and improve water retention
- Aquatic planting and marginal vegetation recovery for biodiversity
- Rewilding and habitat enhancement for amphibians, invertebrates, and birds
- Ongoing pond management and maintenance advice
We approach every project with ecology in mind—using local materials, reusing excavated soils where possible, and working in tune with the landscape.
Why Restore a Pond
Healthy ponds are vital ecosystems. Restoring them can:
- Increase biodiversity and attract pollinators and wildlife
- Improve water quality and soil moisture retention
- Support climate resilience through natural water storage
- Qualify for DEFRA and Natural England funding
Our Service Area
Based near Moretonhampstead, we cover Devon, Cornwall, Dartmoor, Somerset, and the wider South West.
For larger or complex projects, we also collaborate with land managers and NGOs on rewilding and habitat creation initiatives.

How long does a pond restoration take?
Most projects take one to three weeks depending on access, silt depth, and weather. We plan works around wildlife breeding seasons to minimise disturbance.
Can I get funding for pond restoration?
Yes. Schemes like ELMS, NEIRF, and the Rewilding Innovation Fund often support pond or wetland restoration. We can help identify the right grants.
Do you work on farm reservoirs or larger ponds?
Yes. We restore farm and estate waterbodies using low-impact methods that enhance both biodiversity and functionality.
