Cool vid, im digging one on my property in show low arizona, with only an excavator kobelco 210 I like how you left steep edge drop off for fish

Yessir. I’m a fan of deep ponds. Summers like this where we’ve had drought, my pond is down 2’ but still over 20’ deep out in the middle! Small ponds have to be deep to not be a total cesspool in the dog days of summer!

Are you still in the greater Houston area? I’m looking for someone to help expand a pond on the property I bought last year.

Anyone see any digging. thought I saw an excavator for a second....

[@TomBrueggen]

Ha. Ha. Ha….for real though, I get it. My videos rarely have a lot of action footage, because I’m busy working and not filming. If you hang around though I do have some where I manage to set a camera up or put the drone up while I’m operating. Hope you find some to keep ya happy. Thanks for watching!

Nice small pond! How much would a pond that size cost if I have one made at my land??

[@TomBrueggen]

I think I charged this guy about $3000. I just dug the hole and stacked the dirt. He’s spreading it out later as he needs it.

Thanks

So will the rain fill this or will it soak into ground

[@TomBrueggen]

This one filled up no problem. Has a nice solid clay envelope. Actually drove by it the last few mornings on the bus. I’ve only dug one so far that didn’t hold and it was in pure sand. I actually shut it down when I found pure sand but the client opted to keep digging and try their luck or buy a big liner. There wasn’t enough clay on that site to even line the pond. I tried but it was just too thin. Thanks for watching!

Kinda disappointed. Wanted to see a construction video not you just talking about it... the title is misleading...

[@TomBrueggen]

Sorry bud. I’m a one man crew, and don’t have a bunch of cameras to set up. Hard to film myself working

[@AusJackal]

@@TomBrueggen it's all good... maybe set up the camera in/on your machine and go from there... I know some people use multiple cameras... it's not necessary...

Let the puppies breath.. dig something.. violin without breaking ground isn't cool

[@TomBrueggen]

Hard to fly a drone and operate an excavator at the same time. Stay and visit a while, I think I have some other videos with action shots
