Wild Swimscapes Ltd

Wild Swimscapes specialises in the design and construction of natural swimming ponds, offering a chemical-free alternative to traditional pools. Founded by Charlie Burls, who has a deep passion for nature and craftsmanship, the company aims to create spaces that blend seamlessly with the landscape, enhancing biodiversity and providing a tranquil, year-round swimming experience. Each project is shaped by the land, using natural materials and thoughtful planting to support wildlife and encourage a connection with the outdoors.

The company's ethos is rooted in restoring lost habitats and creating environments where people can experience the calm of wild swimming at home. They prioritise recycled, reclaimed, and low-impact materials, ensuring each pond becomes a living ecosystem that benefits the garden and the wider environment. Beyond swim ponds, Wild Swimscapes also designs and builds bespoke outdoor structures such as saunas, changing rooms, and seating areas, all crafted with durability, function, and simplicity in mind.

With over a decade of experience working with landscapes and restoring wild spaces, particularly in South Devon, Charlie Burls brings a practical understanding of working with the land. The company's approach is collaborative, guiding clients from the initial concept through to the final handover, ensuring each pond feels like a natural extension of the garden and a sanctuary for both people and wildlife.
