That’s turned out fantastic, I watched this one from day 1, & it’s really good to see the end product, thanks for sharing Chris 👍👍

[@brianblackburn366]

Great job chris

[@pinwizz69]

This is the cream on top from watching one of Chris's pond refurbishment series. Getting to see how it ends up after all that hard work he put into it even with an under the weather period added in when he was not feeling good. That pond ended up a masterpiece of beauty. Chris is a machine when it's time to hit the grindstone. His customer had to have been estatically tickled pink with joy how it turned out. Thanks Chris for posting this one. By the way Chris, I love that flyover and the music selection.

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Chris, Of all the pond renovations I've seen you do, this one is right on top of the list. Awesome work!

[@hjemison]

I’m glad you did an “After” shot with the pond full. It looks magnificent! A big project, but very well done!

[@mikeyb5581]

What a spectacular difference Chris. You are the master when it comes to pond rebuilds, and just about everything you do. You are inspiring to watch.

[@gold-diggersanonymous1085]

Hi Chris many thanks for revisiting the big pond and letting us see how it turned out. great job!!! Be safe!!

[@fhuber7507]

Such attention to detail. That concrete had to be dead level for the flow to be that even around the whole thing.

[@Darsig67]

I know you have done quite a lot of ponds, but for some reason, this one to me, is the best. So clean, and beautiful looking. Great job Chris!

[@dickwright2134]

Watched from the 1st day you started the job. Looks beautiful now. I could perfectly orient myself watching the completion video because I knew every inch of the shoreline. Thoroughly enjoyed the series!!

[@conniecorbett474]

Seeing the 10 acre pond full and looking so beautiful is why you are our favorite ! Thanks for showing us around again. Nice work!

[@philwoods2534]

A truly remarkable achievement. I can only imagine the owners are absolutely satisfied with your brilliance.

[@donnajkelleyphotography]

One of the best ponds you have done. Excellent drone footage !

[@stephenkeefer3436]

All these years I’ve been watching your videos, I can’t remember ANY project that didn’t turn out amazing. Pure rockstar. Legend in your own time.

[@AquaPeet]

You sure made something beautiful out of a swampy, muddy, trunky and sticky mess! Love the overflow, very practical and awesome feature to watch and see the waterfalls!

[@theyetirulrs]

Exceptionally well done! And no shovels were harmed in the making of this video!😂🤣😂 Thank you for this. Very satisfying to see the culmination of all of your hard work.

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

Can't say the same for the mats. Pond 100%, mats -1!

[@scottharbaugh4078]

probably the BEST pond youve done Chris. THATS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I see how your attention to detail pays off. keep it up sir!!!!!!!

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

I was nearly sure we'll see how that pond project will look after a while. Great!

[@sallylilienthal8835]

Must be so satisfying to look back and say, “Yes, and I built that!” Great job!!

[@HammerPowered]

Probably one of the best transformation jobs you've done on the channel that I recall, anyhow. Looks 1000% better, especially in the head section and getting rid of all the swampy, dead material up there. And seeing Winston is a bonus. We had dalmatians growing up, so, always got a soft spot for them.

[@oldjarhead1125]

Thanks for posting the "after" video. It's hard for some of us guys to imagine the finished product when you're digging in the mud. Cooler at the other end of the state too. Greetings from an old jarhead in WNC.

[@andrewsherman400]

What an awesome transformation! Great job, your talent and ability to carry out a vision on a huge scale like this is truly amazing.

[@raylz19]

The homeowners have to be extremely happy with the outcome of this job. Well done Chris.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

It's beautiful! You must be so happy to see what all your work brought forth!

[@williamgraham8809]

Chris sees what beauty lies hidden and creates it with an excavtor rather than a paint brush! Awesome!

[@doclull1989]

Hey Chris! Thanks for taking us back to the pond. The pond looks great. I bet they are happy with your work.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Oh wow Chris, how good does that look!!! This pond needed a lot of TLC, so much crap at the head end. Watching the initial drone footage reminded me how bad the condition of the dam had gotten. There was a couple of parts that just seemed really unstable, like big holes on the back side. Now, the dam is stable & strong, & the whole pond is aesthetically pleasing😊 Excellent job mate. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@richardvernick4280]

Chris. Thank You very much for the return back to the 10 acre pond video it looks great you turned a sows ear pond into silk purse of a pond. Again Thank You for taking all of us along with you on your jobs. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.

[@heatherlane9270]

Absolutely beautiful. It must make you feel awesome LetsDig18. Half expected you to walk into the water and pull that tuft of grass out :). Winston is looking great.

[@Losttoanyreason]

This is one of my favs you have done. This one was a lot of work but it turned out beautiful. Thanks for showing the full pond. I know that is not always possible but is much appreciated when you can.

[@MrLargePig]

Thanks for showing us the final results! I expect you know, thousands of small dams, many of them on private property, are coming to the end of their lives. Some weren't built right, some are overloaded, and some are just plain old. In Virginia, we've had a couple dam failures, in the past few years, and people have died as a result. Maybe you ought to specialize in dam repair? Not just because they're fun to watch (though they are) but it seems like there's a real need. Widening this dam, and putting in new overflow and spillway, gives me confidence that this one will last a while. Well done.

[@louGriggs1944]

The pond is looking great. Any property owner would be thrilled to have that on their property. Thanks for the follow-up.

[@robertconreux8079]

Absoluty beautiful! Fantastic job! Thank you for taking us along!

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

👏👏👏👏👏It really don't like the same property, what an awesome job Chris! Thanks for sharing that with us. It was cool seeing Winston again, he's gotten so big.

[@ProudPapaw88]

That is one beautiful piece of property, Chris. Job well done! Thank you for going back and showing us this picture perfect property. Thanks for sharing!!

[@davecoombs6060]

That's one hell of a big farm pond, mini lake..lol,That look's absolutely amazing, you did an awesome job Chris!👊💪

[@vaughnhill3437]

Anyone that has been watching your videos as long as i have knows damn well that the lake is 100% nicer than it was before. It looks fantastic man. God bless and be safe out there

[@georgelaforest1713]

The pond turned out awesome you do such great work . Your a pond making god, every job that you do turns out great . It shows you take pride in what you do .

[@jamesboris1233]

Thanks for sharing Chris, it's good to go back to see what looks like then it's full

[@AuditRecon]

I'm amazed at the difference. Hard to believe that's 10 acres. What a great job. The aerial shots are cool.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris that job turned out beautiful! Thanks for letting us see the finished project after the pond is full! Kevin

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

This was such a great project…we sure worked hard on it with all those different issues we had to deal with, huh?! Love how it turned out. Thank you for taking us back to see it so beautiful & fully functioning!!

[@donash3199]

Great job… 👍 So good to see the before, during and completion.

[@1herbert100]

One of your many talents is your eye as an artist. You see the results long before the job is done, very impressive. thanks for sharing the results with us.

[@myrnabergman9232]

Beautiful job!!! As usual. Thank you for showing us it filled. And the before and after.

[@maximummarklee]

Chris I believe this is one of your best presentations. I often questioned why you didn't bring a dozer in once you found a solid base, or used multiple haul trucks and didn't use more sturdy mats, but you got 'er done and it turned out beautifully. Now let's gets some next-generation mats made.

[@davidb9547]

What a transformation! Absolutely beautiful.

[@ohhpaul7364]

Always nice to see them back to full. It looks great. I bet the fish and ducks will be happy as a toot now.

[@charlieaustin2818]

Thank you for sharing what the final product looks like. What a transformation

[@williamking8552]

Hi Chris, I have been watching your videos for quite a while, and I would have to say this has been a great achievement and you should be very proud that you have left this property in a magnificent shape for the generations. From down under in New Zealand.

[@danl.909]

Yeah! Beautiful water feature for that property. Well done.

[@howardanderson3974]

I 75 this year, live in Canada and have fished since I was seven years old. This pond creation is awe inspiring. The fishing possibilities are massive. Obviously you have the financial resources to make this dream pond a " Utopian Fisherman's Paradise ". If you need to recoup any money ?, this pond would pay for itself by allowing fishermen to pay to catch and release fish. Maybe put a small log cabin by the wooded area and sleep there by this amazing man made Heaven . Thanks for sharing your vision with utube and everyone.🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍

[@rustysteel8714]

You have JUSTIFIED REASON to be PROUD of this project, Chris! 👏 What a gorgeous result. 🤯 Any prospective customers that see THIS....and hire someone else...have lost their 🧠's! Thanks for taking us back to see it filled up! 👍

[@robnewell6123]

Great to see the final outcome - turned out awesome! 👏👏Thanks for the follow up Chris.

[@abrahamtov364]

It really does look good, great job Chris and crew!

[@Mapantz1]

Stunning! The water clarity looks much better than before too. All of the hard work you endured makes it all worth it when you see the difference. It was a privilege to be apart of that journey!

[@francesstratton695]

OMGNESS What a beautiful pond turned out to be!! Congratulations, hats off to you Chris!👍👍😎🇺🇸

[@GoBlue79]

This is awesome Chris! The scale of the work we watched you do to achieve this terrific pond. Wow! Seeing the pond full - the great tree line - even the green "mud grass" - it looks sharp! It even comes with it's own waterfall !! LetsDig18 awesomeness!

[@scottfortune9016]

I think we all ventured to assume it was going to be an awesome outcome for that pond. And we were right, you did a fantastic job.

[@zachlewis8803]

The landowner called the right man for the job, great work Chris and crew. I do want to see the pond where the previous CONtractor dug the big gulleys between the trees killing them and then basically abandoned the job leaving it to become overgrown. Any chance we could get an update on that job?

[@kens.3729]

It’s Amazing how Much Water is draining in through the cleaned out trash rack. WOW! 👍

[@ronaldvanotten6812]

Awesome work, as always! Your are truly an artist with your equipment... Great to see the pond full again... Ron...

[@robf2251]

That looks awesome. Thank you for showing us the full pond.

[@williamhenderson9535]

Loved this project start to finish!! One of my favorites Chris. You knocked this job - Way out of the Park! Lol

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Its hard to Believe that the dam held back as long as it did. I speculate with the rains that just came in, the old dam would have lost the left edge (looking at the pond). Lots of highlights ….glad that your haul truck is working out so well.

[@craigwavra3495]

Got the notification that you had a video on the 10 acre pond. That head section and swamp area turned out to be the gem!! What a huge transition from before and after.

[@bullittdog4352]

It’s crazy how fragile this pond was before you worked on it ..that overflow erosion combined with how thin the damn was looked like a body of water that had failure in its future. Chris this job is one for the sales brochure when you have to show off a real transformation, great work as usual.

[@robmatthews7972]

Good to see you have Winston out with you. Fine results to show us what continues to make you the Pond Master.

[@ronpeacock9939]

We don't get to see the full after-effects of your pond work very often. This is almost like a treat to see it back full and with the changes you made. I think this turned out much better than the client could have hoped for. That head-section is gorgeous and it's clear the new damn is in much better shape and the overflow is not longer a question mark at best. Great job... and thanks for the treat.

[@pennyneal2456]

A very proud moment for you…well done!

[@JTGriggs]

So glad to see the aftermath of the great work you did on this project. I never thought it could look this good. Great job

[@phillippearson2596]

Thanks for sharing that Cris, Nice to go back and see it established, Stay safe.

[@alangraham4526]

Top shelf Chris you have turned digging holes into an art form!

[@lukelambert4595]

Awesome work, Chris! Love the style of riser you used and really love the dia. pipe you used on the horizontal section. Seems like the bigger pipe the less force at exit and the less erosion control necessary. Mine is about 2 acres bigger but has a slightly smaller horizontal pipe. It shoots out full force. Riprap everywhere at the discharge. I don’t like it near as much as what you’ve done here. Anyway, love watching your work 👍.

[@larryigreen5829]

What an excelent masterpiece!! A 10+ It was enjoyable to watch the transforming process from beginning to end.

[@subvertedworld]

You really cleaned that place out. Straightened everything up, and made it look fantastic just in time for spring and everything to bloom and green up. Both functional and beautiful. I'm sure they couldn't be happier.

[@coblass]

I'm blown away. That is beautiful!

[@evilbrat5376]

Darn Chris, worked your magic again. Pond looks outstanding. The overflow pipe doing what it should & sounding fine. Beautiful over view of it.

[@racerroy1]

You must be very pleased with yourself, seeing the end result of all your hard work, Well done Chris.

[@jeffjenkins8303]

It must give you an immense sense of satisfaction Chris when you return and see how beautiful your work has turned out. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video when you were working on the pond in its original condition and seeing it again now as it matures.

[@dalecherry4044]

From all the chaos comes tranquility. Looks great Chris. 👍👍

[@scrappy7571]

So cool to see this all filled in and grass starting to grow. Can you get an update of the neighbors little pond you did last year? That one was pretty cool too.

[@davidepool5884]

That pond looks amazing. I watched the whole makeover of this pond from the first day and I knew by the time you were done it would look great. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the dredging job on the other pond you’re working on. I’d really like to see that pond when it’s full too. I’ve kinda become addicted to your channel, I wait patiently every day for you to upload a new video.

[@jmwarden1]

I too watched the whole makeover of the pond and you did it again in your famous pond makeover, wow what a difference.

[@Mike-hs8fq]

I watched this project from day 1 and got hooked on your channel. I haven't missed a day since. Thank you for the entertainment!

[@jasonjones281]

Seen a bunch of these projects this has been my favorite so far. Glad we got to see the finished product. Awesome!!

[@matthewdomeno7267]

Great job Chris, the transformation of that head section is amazing. I would be proud to own that pond.

[@ringstinga]

Still think this was one of your best jobs to date ! Had a bit of everything in it and the end results speak for themselves. Respect from Scotland.

[@rockman531]

Hi Chris, You did an awesome job on that pond! I love watching you work in the big mud puddles - but seeing the job completed is almost as thrilling! Take Care, Jim

[@Frank-db6oj]

Wow, that could not have turned out better 👏 Thanks for sharing Chris 👍

[@timgiven3826]

Thats so awesome looking great job chris, an thats why you are always booked up with job because of how well an a perfectionist you are at making dirt look great. Hope you and Winston have a great weekend

[@jcd222186]

Amazingly beautiful! Why doesn't the water have the red clay suspended in it like so many of the new ponds? This is an awesome pond with all of the right improvements made by Chris. It really amazes me how Chris can take the topography and available sediments to make a work of art.

[@sandybarnes887]

It had time to settle out

[@scottharvey9357]

Isn’t that just awesome! It’s just like you took a painting and brought it to life what a wonderful thing you did

[@littlefinkle7757]

Looks great! Just spent 5 hrs pressure washing my excavator and it is time to relax! Even windexed the glass and used entrust on the interior. It was temporarily immobilized the other day for about 3 hrs. Lost 15 wood pallets reinstating mobility. 😁 Great work Chris!

[@stantodd2769]

What an amazing transition this turned out to be. I know you are proud of your work.

[@richardherring8220]

Chris, just like the road widening job these before and after videos clearly show what a master craftsman you are when it come to sculpting dirt, your talent and years of experience really shine !! Another awesome job !!

[@jeremys959]

Thank you for coming back to this one when it filled up

[@ErnieShown]

Always feels great to see the final bit of a big job that you know is well done! Great job!

[@feliciaparten4009]

I love how this turned out. Amazing work!!

[@TonyGeneseo]

Thank you so much for doing this Chris ! You know I LOVE these follow up videos on the ponds that you redo !! And you’ve been posting more of them and it’s appreciated ! Take care #pondnerd

[@carlmclelland7624]

HOLY SMOKE!!!!!!! I AM IMPRESSED!! It's hard to imagine the final product after watching all the individual segments of this project, and now seeing the end result... Chris..... you knocked this one outta the park!!!

[@catgynt9148]

Terrific recap Chris, thanks for sharing this wonderful video presentation. I have enjoyed your journey and the drone footage is first rate. Another successful addition to your portfolio. Wishing you and your furry kid a blessed week and a gentle spring season. Peace brother.
