SERENITY DELUXE POND | Backyard Water Garden

[@captmurf8357]

Only one massive thing is bothering me about this pond. I don't want to come across petty but I think it would have been 100 times better IF you installed it in my backyard!

[@staceyroberts3468]

Capt Murf my yard too 😆😆

Ha ha I just said the same, not surprised these guys do an awesome job.

[@jamesspaulding2252]

That pond is awesome and definitely a sweet waterfall and I like how you show the difference in pump flow keep up the good work

[@TEAMAquascape]

Love seeing ponds get POND filters and not pool filters!

[@zacazteca1]

Oh. My. Gosh! I absolutely love it! The only bad thing is you keep raising the bar and now I have to redo my waterfall, again!

[@cbwaterfeatures]

A second thank you for the laser level explanation. I've been watching a lot of pond videos in the last year. This is the first time I remember someone walking through how to use one. Not boring at all. Glad to see 2020 is being good to you.

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

The whole water feature is great! I really love the waterfall and how it meanders, and especially the Niagara Falls portion... hey that’s in my neck of the woods. The bamboo makes a great background, you have to admit, and that could be the background behind the waterfall, IMO. I have a video regarding bamboo control if you don’t want to read the whole thing... but here goes. The home owners need to maintain the bamboo barrier, besides the fact that it looks like the knockoff flimsy barriers, to make sure the rhizomes don’t jump the barrier. They can & should also rhizome prune: work a spade around the clump and pull out any cut pieces, once after new shoots leaf out and again right before winter. The Phyllostachys genus (which is what it looks like) generally spreads 4’ a year, so roughly 2’ per rhizome pruning in open ground. Essentially they’re just trying to find stray rhizome in their case. They shouldn’t have to remove much. Leaving an opening in the barrier also channels the roots in one direction and makes it easier to maintain. It seems like they take the path of least resistance and jump less if there is open ground. It sounds like a lot of work but it’s about 2 hours per season of work, depending on how fit someone is. Not to cross promote my channel on yours, but again check out my video to see it done.

Gorgeous waterfall. If that was at the lowest speed for the water, it looks natural.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

thank you!

[@geertslandwaterscapes7930]

Wow! This looks amazing with all those pond lights! Just realized this is the place of "The NEGATIVE EDGE Koi Pond" MASTERPIECE!!! (See Videos Dec. 4 & 11, 2020) Wow, these people really got bitten by the water feature bug! My favorite part is definitely the hardscape seating wall! Who wouldn't like to sit there and feed the fish while dangling your feet in the pond?? Well done Team Atlantis!

[@23chaynes]

You guys are "Simply The Best "

[@solarhellas6687]

The only thing i wouldn't do would be these lights in the pond if i 'd had fishes. Out of respect for them i would have left natural light in the pond. The lights on the cascade are magnificent. I like very much this goldish color. This is another great piece of aquatic art!

[@cathleenbaldwinmaggi2252]

I LOVE that it comes right up to the wall - that is awesome!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

My favorite part!

[@nrg_fre]

Badass Beautiful, when a client trust you with there money and give you a large window. Definitely Priceless Art which makes each and every install unique. Hardscape, Aquascape, & Landscape, working together to accomplish this project into living art.

Another great pond and spectacular waterfall. I’m giving Jaak this title now even though he has many years left . The GOAT of waterfalls. Like if you agree . This guy is a beast.Jaak is the Michael Jordan of waterfalls.

Beautiful 😍 but I think I would have invested in a metal sheet wall hammered in on the bamboo side. Sending roots back to others side. Great job everyone 🥰

Beautiful waterfall. Great work as usual.

[@DarrinsDaffs]

What a difference a few days make! Jaak, please do a follow up video late this summer or next year, so we can see the landscaping in. Is the homeowner building a wall in front of the bamboo? Is that what the framing is for?

[@xaviershen3831]

your are my prefered style from all Aquascape Contractors

[@Gamechanger12349]

Beautifully designed and execution.Good luck for your next projects

[@rockysgarage]

Wow Jaak! Excellent upgrade!! Maybe it was budget, but I would of insisted that concrete liner for this job especially since you pointed out the damage that bamboo root did with the original pond.! The level bit was very informative. I wondered about that as well. I was a little disappointed the customer did not opt for the cantilevered deck as a feed location for the fish. I am guessing that would have changed the leveling of the pond water height. I am not sure if I am spelling his name right, but Bolivar has done some phenomenal stone work that accentuates your pond artistry. It is part of the details I see with the rock stacking, placement, and selection. What you guys call, 'character rocks' I really enjoy. I hope you return in about 6 months. I want to see how the water clears with the koi back in pond and how the landscape completes the whole package. Yes, you guys rock!!

[@MrWayno79x]

I would have made a massive change!! The location 😁 I would have put it in my back garden. 👍

[@mdn642]

Sure wish y'all were closer!! I'd hire you in a quick minute!! Beautiful result as usual!! Thanks for sharing

[@jameo624]

Best pond and falls i have seen yet for sure. I would love to see more about the pumping/piping and filtration of the pond. So jealous right now.

[@jasonsearcy7388]

Wow oh wow did this one turn out beautiful! I know from watching you that you only "really" need a foot or two of height to make a showstopping piece, but when you have that natural bit of extra height to work with it looks so much better! You all knocked it out of the park. Love all of your videos you do and always look forward to taking some time to watch yours when you post. Also appreciated the full flow shot and the low flow shot! You really get multiple water features with that variable pump!

[@mfreeman451]

Looks great, do you plan on doing a follow-up video in a few days, was hoping we could see it when the water clears up.

[@ابوفيصلالجهني-ح5ظ]

[@silviavoss6411]

Those Koi are going to be thrilled to get an upgraded transformed pond and waterfall as their new home, OMG it looks so awesome totally transformed the Koi will think they went from a hut to a palace!

[@shanehenderson8593]

I love the transition from the top of the hill/waterfall to the bottom of the pond. The vertical element of the design makes it feel like the waterfall and pond was originally there and that the wall was added to contain the pond. Great effect and the water features you make keep getting better!

I'm looking at that pond and looking at my garden thinking 'I wonder if...' I had a smaller aquascape pond installed in February - a birthday present for me. I really enjoy it and I do catch myself thinking 'maybe a bigger one?'

As always, amazing Jaak!

[@bellantij1980]

Simply incredible.

[@jackhembree2503]

Jaak, wonderful as expected. Did you have concerns about the existing retaining wall being strong enough to hold the weight and force of the water? Did you replace or put in a barrier for the bamboo? Certainly a spectacular outcome!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The retaining wall is in good shape, not really worried about. The bamboo has a barrier around it now, but they will still have to watch for runners that could jump it

[@Crystalhurb]

Good afternoon Jake wow what another amazing build. Truly spectacular im speechless. 2020 BEST POND BUILD hands down. Year just started and you've definitely taken that title. I say it in every video your absolutely one of the best pond builders on the planet. Your attention to detail and design is out of this world. I want this in my back yard for sure. Great job. Have an amazing day and I'll see you next video like always

Meus parabéns. O trabalho de vocês é profissional. Awesome work guys !!

[@NicolasBruno]

This looks amazing! I have a question that’s probably been asked a bunch of times before: In the future, if the homeowner needs to replace the liner, does all of the stonework need to be lifted out and reset?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yea, it would need to be totally deconstructed if the whole liner needs to be replaced.

[@scotttaurean4032]

Weekly training video complete, a spectacular result, oh that waterfall :) I love the way that from the patio it looks like the stream starts back over the hill completely blended. And I love the edge where you are putting the pebbles at 10:55 to11:04 it looks so flat, and like it is at the water level, is that a fold on that edge where the overlap starts or have you done that lower? I am curious about the bamboo are they putting in a barrier? or did you/would you use concrete cloth?Lots of questions...

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The liner is a good 4” above water level in that section. There is bamboo barrier installed to keep it back but that will have to watch for runners that can jump the barrier

Gorgeous work!!! You are truly an artist! 🤗

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank You 🙏

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

Well, you had me at Serenity because it's one of my most favorite movies 🤣 but I also love how much you love it. That says something to the viewer when an artist can appreciate his own work. I have to agree, too. That thing is dazzling. The waterfall is top notch. The pond itself is pretty stellar as well. Once that thing is planted and seasoned for a couple years, look out! Question: Is there anything that you had to do to reinforce the wall? I ask only because I literally just watched Ed Beaulieu's installation of a viewing panel on their Aquascape indoor koi "pond". The work he had to do to stabilize it so that the weight of the water pushing on it couldn't cause it to fail seemed intensive. Would that same variable play any role when utilizing an existing wall like you did on this project?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

With this wall, it’s only 18” high and it’s also made of block. With its pin supports it’s designed to hold back the weight behind it 👍
