A landscape water scheme gunited in 2010: an 18 × 4 m main pool, rock-edged ponds with stepping stones, a long fountain rill, and a large round fish pond that the contractor later domed over, with the pathways between them formed in gunite.

Around 7 000 m² of natural ponds, bog beds and rock streams through an office park in Woodmead — the structural work by Curtis Pools, in phases over two to three years from the mid-1990s.
