James Allison, the Principal, has over thirty years experience in the aquatic trade. His passion for ponds and watergardens began in his youth and led on to qualifications in Biology (B.Sc. Hons) and Applied Hydrobiology (M.Sc.). The expertise gained has proved invaluable in understanding the principles of well-balanced water garden ecology.

Early years managing one of the UK’s leading aquatic retailers gave him further hands-on experience dealing with water garden equipment, plants and fish, specifying items for projects by landscapers, garden designers and homeowners.

For over twenty years, construction projects, consultancy and annual equipment servicing have been carried out on all sizes of water gardens from water features in town gardens through to small lakes in the countryside. James Allison is personally involved in all projects and is assisted by a selected team of independent landscapers. Water Garden Solutions also frequently works on projects alongside customers’ own builders/landscapers and architects/designers.
