We Built a Working Waterfall from this Ancient Stone!

[@fynnjackson2298]

I think it takes a couple of years of refining ones work to really appreciate uniqie things like this, must have been such a blast working out the details and making this happen, congrats boys, turned out real awesome!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you! It was cool to work on something outside of the norm and out of our comfort zone a little.

[@sho92]

It's what every mini-golf wants to be when it grows up!. Awesome job as always! 👍

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

You got that right!

That Rock is part of the land surrounding that property. The Waterfall is absolutely incredible. Great job, gentlemen. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

This the the waterfall dreams are made of. Fantastic job gents!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you, Alicia!

[@gentlemood]

This is by far your best one because it doesn't look like you made it. It looks like a pure nature masterpiece straight from mother nature herself.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks!

[@prettypothos4me290]

Best one!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Out of all of them, ever!?

[@ammill7839]

Impeccably beautiful! My husband and I just watched and it looks like the untouched, rain fed stone outcropping so common in the New Jersey/New York areas! In my humble opinion, it’s really hard to recreate accurately the moss, ferns and lichen placement that mother nature did herself, but you guy’s enhanced it! We both would have placed a fire pit and two chairs and that’s where we would live after work and on the weekends! Bravo!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you! We greatly appreciate it.

[@susanb1511]

Absolutely stunning. ❤

Thanks! It was a cool project.

[@briananderson6535]

That rock has been there for a million years and never in it's history has it looked as good as you guys made it, great job!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you! We had some help from nature ;)

[@draselee6131]

Oh wow, this is something special! Incredible!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you! What do you like the most about it?

[@heikoschwammle4650]

That’s incredible looking, wow 🤩 I‘m really not the biggest fan of pondless but that got me!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yea, it'll convert you :P

[@Jeff-zv9tu]

Wow, is that cool!!! That's going to have all kinds of moss and ferns growing from it soon. Love it!!! I would have had you guys add a separate pond down below instead of the golf green though. 😊 Jaak you must be super proud of your boys.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes! The boys always make me proud

[@BeckiandChris]

Such a unique project! Beautiful results.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you! 😊

[@narrowjourney468]

I really enjoyed watching your video. My sons and I found a small rock in our front yard. We tried removing it so that the mower wouldn't run over it. Here we are over two months later and over 170 hours of digging. This little rock has turned out to be a MASSIVE rock structure. We too are planning on turning it into a waterfall/ rock garden waterfall. I think we have about 10 months to go before its all dugged out.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Oh wow, that's awesome! Would love to see some photos.

[@christinawyckoff2164]

Love 😍 how beautiful deeper in the pond is better 💖

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It really is!

[@zanezycalleja3020]

Incredible, I’m envious, well done guys!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you!

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Incredibly different so unique and beautiful like you said if it wasn’t for a water source to replenish it; it would just seep away. 👍🏻❤😊

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes, exactly

[@mailuser7374]

Awesome to have a piece of ledge like that to work with, beauty job all around!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

For sure! It was cool to work with.

[@ritinkornas5336]

This one looks really fantastic! 😮 You did a great job to complement the natural stone with the reservoir design! Looking forward to a picture of it by night!!!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

thank you!

[@CryogenicFire]

Spectacular job guys. It's truly gorgeous.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

thanks!

[@mxracer1999]

Would be interesting to know how you got it to come "out of the rock at the top. It looks like a "spring" just bubbling out of the rock. Impressive!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We ran plumping up to the top that cycles the water from the bottom pooling area back up to the top.

[@mxracer1999]

@@AtlantisWaterGardens well yes, but usually you have "pools: (even if it is a tub) and a spillway at the top of your falls. That does not appear to be the case here.

[@tracybrett6479]

Spectacular!!!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

thank you!

[@Rockscapes]

That's a fun one! We've had to turn a few real rock outcrops into waterfalls. Love it, looks incredible.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It was a fun build for sure.

[@steaditex]

So cool looking! Great job! At first I thought you might use a liner and foam, so was surprised to the the rack and aquablocks going in without it. But when you explained and the dedicated well to keep feeding it, it made sense. You'll have to do a followup with some night shots!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you!

[@lindaleslie5634]

Looks like the water feature was created by Mother Nature 🎉👏 🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes! :)

[@raygiannamore]

What a canvas to paint on.

[@Druppelsgewijs]

well normally the canvas is black dirt or a slope with dirt, they only did something on the bottem, the rest is already painted out by mother nature

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

not exactly true. We had to plumb it all out etc, so although the "waterfall" was already there, we did have to do more than just the bottom. :)

[@petersvan7880]

Fantastic!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Many thanks!

[@e4d578]

It is nice to be the boss. You need to work hard, be smart, and have the ability which not as many people do. If the boss is out there laboring, something could be wrong with the business.

I live in AZ and have an area that would work for something like this. I wish you would have shown more of what you did with the rock. I don't have concrete at the base, but I do have the rest of the surface boulder that is underground in front of it. My plan is to use a rubber liner and a liquid pond liner to make a seal between the rock and the liner. I am also planning on having a pond in front of it vs a pondless setup.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Hi there! We're thrilled to hear about your plans for a pond in AZ-sounds like it's going to be a fantastic setup! 😊 Unfortunately, some of our footage was corrupt, including parts where we worked with the rocks. However, using a rubber liner and a liquid pond liner is a great choice for creating a watertight seal.

[@vannguyen-hz7et]

Add lights is the only thing i would do to this amazing natural waterfall

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

thanks :) Be sure to check out our other videos as well.

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Hi Jaak. How are you, Sir? That is stunning. However, if you do not mind me saying that, it looks familiar. Out of appreciation to you for taking the time to produce this content to share with us viewers, I have given this video the 253rd like to say thankyou very much for sharing. Have a nice day. Take care, Sir. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We had posted a piece of short-form content of this build awhile ago, That may be why you remember it :)

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

@AtlantisWaterGardens Ah, that would be why. Thankyou. I really enjoyed watching this video. It is very nice to see it in more detail in terms of how you constructed it. You did well to take in a Spider Crain. Some sites are difficult to take machinery in. I have had to use smaller rocks for a Pond as it was not possible to get a digger in, and some reasonably big rocks that I had to lift up and lowering them into the Pond with a plank of timber that I used as a Seesaw. However, I am glad that you no longer have to do it the old way. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

[@Druppelsgewijs]

well mother nature, does it best

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Facts.

[@mistyrichardson6041]

That rock has been there since the dinosaurs 🦕 walked the earth waiting on all to make it shine!!!❤❤❤

[@johnstup4479]

That is an amazing water fall Jaak! Mother Earth created this millions of years ago waiting and knowing you would show up and make it amazing. Your team did a great job!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes! :)

[@Eric.Mercado]

First off, Ant has grown so much from his uncomfortable and awkward days! If you weren't around that long, you'd think the kid was a natural. Great job, Anthony. 👏 What was up with the different video format/editing? Was that on purpose, or was there a problem with the footage? It jumped from the reservoir being completed to the B roll of the finished build. Seeing how you all completed the plumbing and headwaters would've been extremely helpful and informative. Anywho. The project turned out great 👍 👌 Another masterpiece from AWG featuring Mother Nature. 😉 Fantastic job fellas 👏

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks, Ant really is coming into his own. We had some footage that wasn't up to standards, so we didn't include everything. Our editor made magic with what was still "usable." Appreciate it!

[@jimmyweidmann2841]

Nice one ! But why not put a snorkel at the bottom so you can clean it out and backwash. The stonebase will fill upp whit gugg or ?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It constantly gets topped off from the autofill setup it is on, so cleaning wise it really doesn’t get dirty.

[@Idaho-oasis]

Does the top portion of the waterfall have a portion of liner that's just covered with some of the natural rock put back in place?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The top is all natural, we just modified the curvatures of the rock just a little bit to adjust the flowing direction

[@billfreeman685]

Looks great. How do you do the head waters?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

In this particular project it was via a hose with direct spillway runnig up from the bottom on the left side of the waterfall.

[@buddymccormack8668]

that rock has been what years and years (as Ant put it), to become an AWG masterpiece.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Correct! ;)

[@Ken-wp2fr]

That rock has been there several thousand years

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Good call!

[@jimmyweidmann2841]

Thousand years ? I would say millions

[@tomw5824]

Anthony is a natural. Question - how often do you have to get a permit from the local government to build a pond, and is that something AWG does or is that the homeowners responsibility?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

You'd have to check your local ordinances etc. to find out if a permit needs to be pulled. Most of the time, one isn't needed.

[@RochLachapelle]

Nothing differently just insane

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Is that a good thing?

[@VPershing]

Why didn’t you put liner in the basin?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It did not need a liner since it was already concrete and held water.

[@solomongnanaraj8920]

Water is starting from one place, instead its should have been spread and start from 2-3 places so the waterfall spread across the rock?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It wasn't a possibility, as there were a lot of variables while working with and around the rock.

[@scottjanko-ns1ij]

NOTHING FINNER THAN WORKING WITH MOTHER NATURE, WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE SEEN THE LIGHTS .. they chose the right crew

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you!

[@Watergardengirl]

Cool, but nothing was actually shown regarding the plumbing…. So mysterious! Other than that, amazing work! Looks completely natural.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks! We had an issue with some footage not being up to standards and corrupt. Our editor worked magic with what he could.

[@anthonybowers6024]

Many, many, many years... what ever that means

[@Eric.Mercado]

It means a lot of years! 😂

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Many, many, MANY lots! :)

[@joedoe6444]

get rid of the music, it is distracting and unnecessary while you are talking, and it is right down criminal when showing the finished project. i would much rather hear the water flowing than music drowning it out, after all that is the whole point of a water feature in your yard.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks for the feedback.
