A completed Oxbow ecosystem pond in Greater Victoria, its gravel bed visible through clear water.

Ponds and water features built to last on the Island.

Designed, built and maintained in Greater Victoria by Oxbow Aquatic Services.

Twenty years of water, twelve of water features.

Mike James came to ponds from wastewater treatment, industrial aquaculture and aquariums — not from landscaping. Most builders can construct a feature. Whether it still looks good in year three is a biological question, and it gets answered before the first stone is set.

“Mike James and his crew are hands down the top pros of swim ponds and water features on the west coast.”
