[@Tranquilityscapes]

This one is still one of my favorites, pond fit in so well with the backdrop and the patio. Can't wait to see the final shots since it was 🔥already in person.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Mine too!

[@neilcawley2159]

Any step by step videos would be amazing you guys just do not realise how influential you are. One I really would like to see is how you build the big walls inside the pond are they glued ?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

They are glued 👍

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Gorgeous rocks!!! Love seeing a pond build with the big boys. 😊

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Keep watching, you'll see :)

[@AmritGahunia]

Hi Jaak, you and your team create amazing natural pieces of art, from large to small, great work, can’t wait to see this finished. For clarity here, you mention rock pad fabric, are you referring to underlayment or actual rock pad fabric?

[@AmritGahunia]

And thank you for the liner overlapping explanation

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It's a little thicker than normal underlayment. Same type of fabric.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks!

[@mattoriental]

Great work as always... and yeah, I'd love to see a dedicated video to overlapping a liner, I'm just about to install mine here in the UK and it would be a great help - I actually commented this on John Adams channel @ModernDesignAquascapingInc last week ... but he didn't get back to me 😪

Watch his videos. very wonderful, the lake water is clean, can you show me how to do it and how it works.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Look at more of our videos, you'll see everything you need to see 😃

[@philippefenain4405]

Great explanations and pond ! May I ask a question concerning the use of black foam ? I understand its use in the waterfalls to channel the water, but I sometimes see You/your team using it inside the pond itself. What is then the purpose of it ? Securing rocks ? Thank you.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Hey Philipppe! Yup, it will secure rocks and other substrate.

[@mooghoo2]

Really great video! Quick question, what’s the name of the song and band playing during the quick setup it’s amazing!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

It's stock music :)

[@EscapismWins]

Man your waterfalls are always the best, can't wait to see how this one turns out! Which rock pad/liner combo is best for a DIY waterfall/pond project? I really *truly* hate to ask trade secrets from such a pro, but the liner is the only part I'm unwilling to trust my own judgment on. I'm in the desert and getting a hole could be mildly catastrophic. Thanks for all the inspiration and info! 🤙

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We use 45 mil EPDM pond liner and geotextile underlayment. Don't skimp on the pond liner to save a few bucks, you'll regret it in the long run.

[@EscapismWins]

@@AtlantisWaterGardens Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much, God bless! 👍

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

@@EscapismWins You're welcome 😃

[@paulbiggs3579]

Awesome as always 👏

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks again!

[@tmurphy0919]

On that big waterfall rock, you could have also spilt or cut the bottom off to get lower. Also the bonus of a flat bottom.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We sure could have.

[@9StickNate]

Looks amazing! I can see all the thought and details that occur. Roughly, what sort of price range is this build?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

[@JennyLee57]

Awesome start! I do have a question... When you put in the drop liner, how do you do the edges? I built a small pond and then added a waterfall. Had a bit of a problem figuring out how I finished off the sides. It is working and after adjusting one side no leaks. I just wondered how you guys do it. Thank you. Can't wait to see the next vid!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

When overlapping liner (waterfall into pond ) you need to make sure there is enough pond liner to come up at least 6” higher than water level in the pond. * this extra liner will be vertical (imagine this is a shelf in pond). Then the overlap liner is placed on top (making sure pond liner underneath isn’t pushed down ) and then you start placing your frame rocks on the shelf and building your waterfall as you work back towards the biofalls.

[@larrywilliams4583]

What's up.. I would have sat that 1st big Rock flat to create a spill stone

[@larrywilliams4583]

Especially with that shoulder piece

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

That’s what is great about rocks, so many different ways to use them 👍
