Our History

Our History

Before Perry James built up his very successful business creating ponds and lakes, he started out working in the construction and earthmoving industry over 40 years ago.

Having worked for some of the top companies in the construction industry in this country, he built up his own earthmoving business and established himself a reputation as a highly-skilled machine operator with wide experience in all types of construction and earthmoving equipment. He now specialises in creating and restoring environmentally friendly wildlife ponds, lakes and reservoirs to the highest standards through out Somerset and Devon.

Perry James creates and constructs the projects himself giving a personal hands on approach and takes great care in getting your job done right the first time – and in the most cost-efficient manner. He is able to offer you a bespoke service and manages the entire process from the initial consultation with you, right through the construction to completion of the project.

Hear what our clients have to say

"We have worked with Perry James on several pond, lake, arena and earthworks projects. The service was reliable, very professional and the results speak for themselves. As designers, the ability of a contractor to understand the subtle objectives of a landscape scheme and interpret them on site is invaluable and Perry James has the experience to do this. The work on our projects was carried out to a high standard."

Steven Swan
Director of Swan Paul Partnership Ltd. Chartered Landscape Architects, Taunton

"Landart Garden design asked Perry James to construct the natural swimming pond and complicated terracing work as feature parts of a larger design. All my concerns with using a new contractor were put at rest as soon as work began. Perry takes pride in his work and has all of the relevant knowledge and equipment to offer a very professional and thorough service. He is the best machine driver I have ever come across and was a pleasure to work with."

Julian Compton
Landart Garden Design

"Perry completed a 20 x 40 Manège and an acre sized lake for us this summer. There is only one comment: Brilliant in any aspect. Even with clearing up the mess after a wet summer and working in unstable ground conditions he finished leaving everything in pristine condition. We are extremely pleased with both projects and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

Ueli and Elizabeth
Winsford Exmoor

"When we moved here our meadow pond was completely silted up and a jungle of reeds. It was so overgrown that it was difficult to spot any water at all! Luckily we found Perry James and the renovation of our pond began. We are absolutely thrilled with the work that has transformed our pond. So nice is it that we have featured it on our Xmas card for this year.

Perry James showed great care and consideration for our environment. Their skill at pond renovation is unquestionable and we have no hesitation in recommending them for your consideration."

Mike & Ursula Barker
Hembury Fort Cross Devon

"Merry Harriers central focal point is certainly its lake with a babbling brook and cascading waterfalls created by Perry James Ponds & Lakes. Working to a tight time schedule we were over joyed by Perry's high standard of workmanship carried out with professionalism from start to finish, it is true to say he made our dreams a reality."

Ed Serna

"After contacting Perry James we engaged him to create and construct a large clay pond in our garden. We were delighted. The work was done quickly and tidily and he took great trouble not to spoil the environment and our land. The end result was fantastic. He is always on the end of the phone if we need any advice and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone."

Heather and Derek Vickery Taunton

"We are delighted with our new pond and working with Perry from concept through estimation to execution was a real pleasure. He is a consummate professional with the highest standards of work. He communicated regularly throughout the process and overcame any on-site challenges quickly and efficiently. We would definitely recommend him and use him again if the opportunity arises."

Simon Ford, Upton
