Comment below if would you like to see more sketches, marketing with the paint or something different.

[@Clogo100v]

Marker sketches drawing looks good. However, there should be elevation changes and a water fountain pump😂 what about led h2o lighting?

[@Sirius-ly]

Love them all! Today's video was perfect!! Keep up the great work!

[@Sirius-ly]

Love them all! Today's video was perfect!! Keep up the great work!

[@beachseeker634]

I am a visual person, so seeing the sketch is a tremendous help. More sketches with color please.

[@Sunshine-111]

More sketches

[@rebeccawolf3196]

Honestly, I could not even imagine it from the description or walking it. That drawing is everything!

[@yorkie75]

In the UK we use barley straw, in net bags, floated in the pond to prevent string algae growth. It might be a solution until the wetland filter starts working properly

[@TEAMAquascape]

We will use that as well to help clear up the water! The IonGen will help with the string algae for sure.

[@ingridwagner9541]

I love the drawings Brian. Makes it easier to visualise what it will look like 😊

[@elizabethbeyer466]

Laura and Aaron are two of my favorite people. I NEVER miss any of their content. It’s the first thing I watch before I get out of bed in the morning. She inspires my day. Now I will watch for your content as well.

[@cynthiag3065]

I like both the painted outline and the drawing. The drawing made it come to life. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait for this project.😊

[@kimberlyheibel8759]

I cannot wait for the addition to be added on to the pond. Garden Answer fans have been watching every change as it's been happening. So exciting!!!

[@SenterStuff61]

CanNOT wait to see this dream come to fruition! Thanks, Brian and Laura and Aaron for sharing the whole process with us!

[@pamelavalente3731]

Another vote for the color drawings here. Really puts everything in perspective. This is so exciting...can hardly wait to see it all come to fruition. 💚😊💚

[@paulinehillyard9754]

Looking forward to this new project, I hope it goes ahead it sounds amazing. However I 'm in the UK and we still haven't had any decent weather and hoping for summer to start!

[@janerobinson6469]

Hi there, Jane from Melbourne Australia here, After watching the installation of an enormous swimming pond made on Laura's property (Im a long time Garden Answer follower) I was inspired to look up Aquascape Australia. I was amazed to find a landscaper who installed your aquascape products in the next town to me!!! I had him come round to discuss design posibilities. He turned a totally unused corner of my garden into a beautiful feature with a waterfall and small pond . This has been such a joy to the kids in the family and in the evening the sound of the waterfalls are so relaxing. Thank you for this my garden is my pride and joy and now I'm retired I have many many hours of pleasure thanks to a video watched in Oregan.

[@TEAMAquascape]

That’s so awesome. Who was the contractor?

[@janerobinson6469]

Someone called Ben Hutchinson landscapes. Absolute joy to have working in your garden, His team is so friendly and very efficient. Good knowledge for plant choices for the pond area. They also have a stall at the Garden Show here in Melbourene and have done some of the water features at a Garden centre called Garden world in Melbourne. Any one wanting a contractor for water features I can not recomend them emough.

[@patriciamathis7042]

I think it's helpful to see the design both ways. You get a different perspective from each.

[@SeaBreeze2247]

The drawing shows a water wonderland. Well done! I look forward to watching this become a reality. I have my morning coffee watching Garden Answer and really enjoyed seeing the pond construction last year.

[@sidneykoepp3655]

Brian, you do awesome work. Thank you for creating the drawing for us visual people. I loved listening to Laura describe your vision and see the excitement on her face. GA has such a huge following that a successful project there will make your business explode. Not everyone can afford a dream steam & pond. But we can work on our own little piece of paradise.

[@krisd870]

I’ve gone back to college to be a landscape architect after being an interior designer for 25 years. I loved seeing how you did the drawing and how everybody’s techniques are a little bit the same and a little bit different. Thank you for sharing.

[@brendapatterson7123]

I have faith that they will get the string algae under control! They knew it would be a 3 year process.

[@TEAMAquascape]

🙌 Getting there!

[@imateacher8382]

Brian, I hope you give your drawing to Laura when you are done. It is so beautiful and she might want to frame it.

[@TEAMAquascape]

Absolutely!

[@evalindell2757]

I would want both! Because when you have the map then to map it out you can have the vision and see and feel if it feels right!

[@Hei_hey]

A fun island feature could be a statue on a flat rock platform. You can also tie to electric to be lit up at night. Thx for sharing website to get scale...good reminder if looking to buy a property to build❤

[@lisaelliott3864]

I like the drawing and thanks for sharing your process! Exciting!

[@carolpope1145]

Can’t wait to see the build it will be amazing. Then with Laura magic touch it will be fantastic.

[@gertrudette]

My favorite part of the process was watching you draw it on the paper.

[@marywilson4243]

I think a fountain on a rock island would be perfect ❤

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

I think the timetable is October of this year. Now that they own the back property, the bigger berms can be added. It’s going to be awesome.

[@Clogo100v]

Rock island overhang for fish shade.

[@laurieh9388]

So exciting for this project. Thanks for sharing your process. Very interesting!

[@marcybyrne4196]

It's going to be beautiful! The only water feature in my yard is a 2 tiered concrete fountain and I love it. The sound of moving water is good for the soul

[@denisemelachrinos9657]

I'm a great visualizer, so, walking through is enough for me - HOWEVER - I ALSO LOVE looking at the drawings afterwards! Can't wait to see the Dream Stream as a WIP and then Finished Project - watching the pond install last year was a favorite, the teams were incredible, and the camaraderie a beautiful thing to get to witness! Can't wait to see you all back at it again!

[@staceyallard2692]

I am an avid viewer for several years of GA & I can remember when you all put in the pond less waterfall. I know how much it took for Laura to allow an actual pond to be built on her property because she was so worried it wouldn’t look natural. I was soooo excited when she decided to finally do it. It turned out beautiful and it was fun to watch you guys build it. I also know that she is beyond herself with the algae problem she’s currently having and if y’all don’t help her get that under control, the Dream Stream might very be just that, a dream. Get on it AquaScapes!!!! I want to see this dream stream come to life!!!! I think it will be great! 😊♥️

[@sherriianiro747]

They even said it takes time and maybe if there wasn't fertilizer runoff would help so don't blame them -

[@TEAMAquascape]

🙌

[@staceyallard2692]

@@sherriianiro747 im not blaming anyone. No blaming going on. I was only saying she is stressing out about it & they (AS) know all the tricks of the trade so maybe there are things she/they can try that haven’t been tried yet. That is all, not blaming anyone. I’m excited to see the dream stream come to life. I’m certain the algae problem will get better. It’s 💯 love from here! 😊♥️

[@sherriianiro747]

@@staceyallard2692 I understand!! But AS cannot fix fertilizer runoff which seems to be part of the problem - if you watch her videos you can see how the yard slopes. Just because something is organic doesn't mean it can do no harm, and the labels say not to use near a water source - eventually will kill the fish too -

[@CrispeeCrisps15]

@@sherriianiro747they don’t feed anything up there, Laura has already told us that

[@judymckerrow6720]

I don’t know when this video was filmed BUT I think Laura may be having second thoughts on WHEN to start on the dream stream since they are having so much trouble with string algae in their pond. I THINK she said that she wanted to get the algae under control before continuing with the dream stream ? 💐💚🙃

[@heidipustelniak652]

String algae is the worst!

[@blackpepper8430]

People came out and cleaned the pond. The anode for the copper treatment wasn’t in the water so it got out of control.

[@judymckerrow6720]

⁠@@blackpepper8430I THINK that they had to add another control for the string algae plus they had to boost the strength of the first one they had.💐💚🙃

[@greentree211]

@@blackpepper8430 that was at the beginning of the season. in the latest garden tour, put out just three or four days ago they had to have the guy, Chris, come out again and he blatantly said he has no idea how to fix it. They put in a second iogen (sp?) and now have two of them turned to ten and still it is a green mess in there. Laura said she wanted to put the dream stream on hold because she doesnt want the whole thing to be as bad as it is right now.

[@Fam4Moore]

@@blackpepper8430 Judy's right they had someone come out and clean it and it was better for a little bit. I think Laura is very frustrated with it right now, just my thought's from watching her videos daily. She did mention that they might need to put the Dream Stream on hold until the algea issue is under control and that someone came out and added an additional algea controller. Hopefully they get it under control because I was looking forward to seeing "The Dream Stream".

[@mistygeller3193]

I love it!! I am graduated from college at a time when you still learned so much about design manually and maybe a 1/10 of it was done with a cad program (automotive/unigraphics) in my case. So I completely appreciate what the combination of all of those tactile visual aids offer! Just as everyone learns differently, everyone also sees things differently. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s incredible! I cannot wait to see the garden/water feature tours!!

[@michelelee5339]

I'm an avid multi years watcher of Garden Answer, plus i have my own aquascape water feature. It's much smaller than on GA. From watching recent GA episodes, i feel Laura's frustration and trepidation about moving forward with the dream stream given the severe algae problem that keeps coming back. It's really difficult to manage when you've never had experience with a huge water feature like Laura & Aaron. I would love to see the dream stream go in as planned. However, i believe that the aquascape team needs to give Laura & Aaron more hands on support. That includes regular visits, , cleaning & testing water to bring this under control. It's no ones fault this happened, but it's not showing aquascape in the best light. Jmho I think we all care for Laura & Aaron and want the best going forward for all. Hopefully, Brian can sort this out quickly. I wish everyone success in this project. 😊

[@eileenchang2173]

I cannot begin to understand, how one could maintain water features this large unless one has full-time hands on and eyes on it. In my area my neighbour’s small pond is a tremendous amount of work and the water attracts raccoons and all kinds of other “urban wildlife”.

[@michelelee5339]

@eileenchang2173 you are definitely correct. And the aquascape team would be better to be all hands on to get this one back in order and provide Lsura with a personal contact to be on site to manage it. She has too much on the go and needs things to run on their own but that won't work with any water feature at all.

[@AdinaShoshanaSturman-os6tk]

So exciting! Hard to wait!!!

[@allisonpilmer451]

These concepts of water flow & directions remind me of L. Capability Brown in English estates.

[@dellablair5854]

Absolutely love watching your thought process on projects !

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

Can’t wait to see the magic you create! You know your stuff! The algae situation will get worked out and will be just fine…..
