This is going to be great example of what Greg had been saying in his vlog. Hiring a wrong person to do the job and having have to pay a lot more to fix it. It’s better to ask for a right person even if you have to pay more, you end up paying less.

[@TEAMAquascape]

Bingo!

[@owenspalding971]

Yes but those with the kind of money to make these kinds of water features happen need to be convinced on the project. Clearly the first company delivered and the next one didn't but also convinced Shag to go forward with the project. How the hell is Shaq supposed to know who the right person is without spending money?

[@El.Sasquatcho69]

​@@owenspalding971 Research man with that kind of money that should be easy. This was built after the initial water feature though I think right. Just saying aquascape crews have multiple KZbin channels showing off their professional and artistic builds. Even going back years later to show how well they work.

[@benblazek3305]

This is the result of landscapers building a pond. It looks like 60+ yrs of experience building patios and walkways went into making it look so unnatural

he didnt want 100 other youtubers at his property filming.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

This is going to be one fantastic project. But with Ed at the helm. It will be all figured out and will be functional and great.

[@Chubbuzu]

Nice to see that his treehouse is still looking good too

[@GermanShepherdDaphne]

My 1/4 acre pond leaks some. Especially if we don’t have rain. It’s like the grass pulls it out when it’s dry. But mine is a spring fed natural pond. It’s not for looks really, more for fishing

[@LuisA-rw3ul]

KZbin algorithm is doing it's magic again definitely keep up with this pond update 👍

[@rayquatics23]

Always love to learn from Ed. Each video has come closer and closer to building my own aquascape ecosystem!!!

Around here people use drywall scraps (gypsum) yo seal ponds

[@andrewtaylor1996]

You need to get a submersible pump to drain it and put in a pond liner then refill

[@thnkx]

Wow. This is a huge job but you're the man to do it, Hey Shaq! You need to call the Pond Professor first next time.

[@TouchSoToxic]

shaq was rocking a cody rhodes Tee thats awesome

[@pondandgarden]

I can't believe Shaq didn't have you do that large pond in the first place. What was he thinking? LOL. You'll make it phenomenal.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

We said the same thing…..

[@dingusfuzzklonnkt2755]

​@Ariana or he was mislead on exactly what kind of skill and engineering is required to complete a successful job such as this. He's been on a few TV programs that have done custom work for his home so he could have had a bad experience with the cameras like you said. But to the average person they look at this and think it's just a matter of money and man hours and in reality it's much more.

Here in the U.K. we would line & surround the filter pipe with a Terram membrane to stop the pipe from silting up over time.

[@bjo867]

I hope Shaq learned his lesson lmao. Sorry Shaq, couldnt help it

[@DwayneShaw1]

I lived and worked on farms many decades ago. I've seen a couple times where a farmer dug a pond that wouldn't hold water so they turned a passel of hogs in to the lot and let them wallow. One of them had a water tight pond in about 6 months. I think it took the other guy a couple years - but it worked for both in the end. This was in the Ohio river valley. Might not work as well in soils with less clay.

[@MrWaterbugdesign]

Yeah, I agree. But this particular location being a residential area is really more of a landscaping element than a farm pond. I assume the owner was sold on the idea of a mud bottom pond but not all the downsides of that such as muddy water. Plus mud bottom pond almost never (close to never) will be as full as needed to get a look a residential owner will want. Mud bottom farm type ponds are much better in much bigger sizes, like acre and bigger. Liner provides for many more options.

[@Thailerr]

Is this because the hogs just pack the soil down so tight?

[@DwayneShaw1]

@@Thailerr - yeah - pigs can't sweat,, so they like to wallow in mud to keep cool.. Not something for residential koi ponds, but I thought I'd mention it in case someone dug a rural pond that wasn't holding water and clicked on this video looking for a solution - that doesn't involve massive liners. (You can put up a temporary electric fence to create a lot around a pond) Pigs are generally sold at around 40lbs -- or 220lbs - for two types of hog operations. Farmers that breed pigs generally raise them to around 40lbs and sell them. They are bought by other operations with feed lots that raise them to 220 slaughter weight.. so If your not a pig farmer you could still fence off a lot, buy a dozen or two 40lb'ers - feed them to 220 and sell them. Repeat until you get a water tight bottom.

[@DwayneShaw1]

@@Thailerr - Or if you have a hog farmer in the neighborhood,, you might be able to offer him a free lot to keep some pigs --let him take care of the feeding.

[@australianbirdgal2786]

That’s pretty interesting, and would work for sure. I don’t think I would like to take a dip in a pork 💩 clay pond though 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@jesuscichlidtank]

it's there a polymer you can add to the pond that would seal the leaks. another you tuber (bamabass) put it in his pond to seal his 5 acre pond leak.

[@fredkibler]

Money is no object and the final result is all that matters so no need to break their brains trying to work with nature, just get it done how they know how. Any other attempts risk damaging their brand when they fail.

[@robertaBooey69]

Those investigators for ftx can’t find shaq but he’s literally everywhere

[@anthonypierre2094]

Wow this is a huge project!

[@papawpaul]

I've built private lake's It's gotta be drained deep tarped refilled with well water and re introduced with plants fish and more plants... the base needs a bolder depth That offers directions for draining. That will not cause surrounding sink or sliding of the over all land in the surrounding area.... for lakes you need big rock's property to withstand and maintain a new natural lake... I'm not knocking the work Just game scout's potential 😎

[@jonastjernberg]

Ed , What is the purpose of having a geotextile membrane under the rubber membrane? Is it needed because underlying soil is to soft?

[@blainecahill3619]

A lot of time it’s added as “insurance” for liner protection possibly protecting against something underneath poking a hole in the liner. Definitely used with rocky conditions but often used no matter what just to be safe
