And I also regret that I didn’t name off all the people individually who gave their heart and soul helping me build this project. There were so many friends along the way, but Aaron Chico is one guy who put a lot of blood sweat and tears into that project with me and his name should not be left out of the mix. He has worked with me on Many projects along the way. Also, Lindsay’s siblings , Aaron and April. Kris Feldner made it out for a few days. I’m sure I’m forgetting someone but it’s only in the moment. I appreciate what they brought each and everyone of them :-)

[@bluelotuswaterscapesdesign154]

Love you John! Thank you for bringing me into your dream build. I feel extremely honored to have been a part of that project. I enjoyed every second of it. I’m looking forward to the next one that will come from people viewing this!!!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I would request a second look at this one. This video is great and has a lot of information for pond builders, but as someone who has zero ability to build this, I would like to just see more footage of the pond itself and swimming in it, instead of the technical details. Again, I am certain those are awesome for that audience so keep it up, I just want the eye candy, lol. I also will never have a million dollars to build anything so that’s another reason I just want to experience the beauty of it. 😊

[@enbrij]

Wow amazing!! That grotto is unbelievable!! Wow Wow WOW!!

[@danielwindley7261]

Simply stunning John G, you the team and your guest artists have smashed it. Great work as always

[@mattgulisano7428]

So John it looks like you have set the bar up several more notches. Spectacular

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

He went above and beyond!

[@shangrilahomestead9930]

It’s absolutely the most amazing Aquascape project ever! John G really created a masterpiece!😊

[@fraservalleychris2958]

Wow! I have watched John's videos on this project from the beginning. What an amazing build! So much love and heart put into this. Love, love, love this water feature!

[@Whips_World]

Love that guy! I always feel like he's telling you exactly what he thinks and what he feels. I never feel like what he's saying is a pitch to sell me something. I love that he loves the natural look, hence the motto, "building ponds out of natural wood and stone.". I know most if not all your CACs can say the same, but with John, it just feels real, whereas it comes off like a salesman with some of the others. I can tell you this, John and / or his team will be building me a pond and stream when we finally retire and move to our property in Tennessee. I've already informed my better half. This is going to happen, even if she has to go back into the workforce to make it so 😂

[@KoiAddiction]

He loves you too :-)

[@odimarbatista3976]

I’ve watched lots of his videos on that project as well as others and John is one of my favorite aquascape contractors. Hard working man and a hard working crew! He seems very genuine as well. Thanks for featuring him and his pond! Me and the wife have started a savings account and plan for a pond in 2029.

[@krisguenther4897]

Best one ever

[@roseyrose9467]

Just Phenomenal. Worth all the time it took to Build it. I especially love 💕 the Grotto

[@VPershing]

John, you really outdid yourself with this project. What a magnificent journey you've been on from your early builds to this pinnacle. No doubt you'll continue to lead the way for us pond builders. High 5's to your family for their great efforts building and supporting your vision, and to your team and allies.

[@KoiAddiction]

I really don’t think I could’ve done it without all of their help. And they definitely show their true colors putting up with me through my psychosis and my horrible Pond addiction😂

[@VPershing]

Addiction may well be a prerequisite for Mastery. You do it because you have to, it's just who you are.@@KoiAddiction

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

What a ridiculously cool looking water feature! Great job to that team.

[@mattbrown4895]

Incredible work John and team! Absolutely amazing! Looking forward to seeing what you create next!

[@hikeaphoto746]

I have to mention you have one of the best next to home, not a thing wrong with that. I love the design and going under water to cave, I felt it would have been a blast. I like the flowers and the falls, way cool. It does look great, thanks!

[@CornusFlorida425]

Perfect grotto for a live in hermit like the old days!

[@petersvan7880]

Now that's really something! And that fantastic grotto: wow :)

[@vikinggardencreations]

Love John, his work and his channel. Watched all his videos creating this and I was just amazed each time. All that work, time and money was so well spent

[@gianfrancocattina1014]

Amazing work

[@Rockscapes]

Feel like this should've/couldve been a 3 part 😂. Absolutely incredible project in every shape or form. A goal in life is to have something on this level for the family! Aoty without a doubt.

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Could've been with all those details!👏

[@TheScrubDesigns]

Next level stuff right there baby

[@Crystalhurb]

Good afternoon Greg hope your having an amazing day. Wow what a spectacular project. Omg its absolutely spectacular.

[@mdkelly247]

So awesome! I need one of these…imagine a cave to go to when the PTSD kicks in, talk about an anxiety fixer space ❤

[@krissmaboragaysofficials6370]

I can't wait to see if someone in aquascape contractor can make a LAGOON like in our country the Enchanted River and Baracuda lake that have a spring in the bottom.

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Would be a cool idea!

[@krissmaboragaysofficials6370]

Thank you Sir@@GregWittstockThePondGuy and you noticed me like Sir. ED BEAULIEU there are good examples of lagoon springs in California, the Rainbow Springs State Park, Florida

[@edlinke2368]

this is gorgous i would never get tired of looking at it its amazing

[@Tminus89]

No words come to mind to do this justice

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

It's amazing work🙌

[@KoiAddiction]

And truthfully, you can never capture the feature in its glory in a video you’ve got to see it in person to get the full effect. Totally appreciate you spending time with us and joining us on our journey. :-)

[@drevil3456]

Amazing...love the cave idea. Love to have something like that in my backyard as I have a lot of unused space

[@ao影]

I've never seen a Japanese-style pond on this scale. Not only the pond, but the cave is also a really nice design! The idea of ​​swimming in a pond I've never seen it before because it doesn't exist in Japan. The construction company that did the work also did a great job. This video was great and I learned a lot, thank you

[@MLM111]

Okay I need to expand my pond now 😂

[@KoiAddiction]

Well, then, all the work we did has paid off because it has inspired someone to take the next step :-)

[@PaineTrain]

Yes sir ⚒️ amazing

[@Poseidonponds]

Such an incredible project built by an incredible family and their friends. This was a great vlog on the story behind this amazing water feature build.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

That’s a cool thing to have but not many people could care for that. I guess it’s for people who want to live by a stream in the mountains. It’s nice to see someone so passionate about what they do. It’s beautiful!

[@agilgeous]

This inspirational! Its biven me so many ideas, thanks.

It was very little overview of the pond as total. Some good views, but I'm still unsure how the pond looks and how it lays round the house...

[@ellyndriscoll4627]

Check out his videos for more details

Agreed

I will be having something like this ASAP!!!

[@cherrelle3231]

Hello, this pond is incredible. May I ask, Is there any issues with hydrostatic pressure against the house? Did you take any measures to counteract this?

[@Blacklion35]

Yo I fucking love this I used to build ponds with and for my disabled grandparents I love this idea and it gave me a brain blast for more to your design love what you did I wish I could be apart of stuff like this again but still good just seeing it

[@ATF.California]

If I ever get 1 million dollars 💸 I will make this pond

[@teejdeer1444]

Honestly doesn’t take a 1 mil, everything you need is all around…be willing to put in the work an your help will come if any is needed

[@smokeeater8387]

Outstanding brother. I’m probably gonna try to start on a pond in my backyard this fall. How do you keep the heavy rocks from puncturing your liner. I’ll be doing this by myself for the most part but I know there will be some two man rocks I need to place. I can’t afford to be punching hold in anything. Also what’s a good size pump for about a ten foo or so waterfall👍🇺🇸

[@gabrieleatzeni8807]

I just wanted to see how u build the cave

[@Floki1313]

The rec pond shape I want to do is going to be hard to make it look natural. But I'm going to try it when I get land for my home and wedding chapel

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Sounds like an awesome project!👏

[@Floki1313]

@@GregWittstockThePondGuy I want the pond to be shaped like a heart with a heart deck. So people can get married on the deck. But I want to be able to swim in it with catfish, large and small mouth bass, and other local fish.

Mine is 7 ft. deep. All dug by pick & shovel. The Local Pond Pro came by and said He's never been in a DIY Pond this deep. lol. I love being able to dive in and not even hit bottom...God Bless Aquascape for all the inspiration! :PS-We need to come up with a better term for "Grotto", it just sounds so sleazy, I think it all stemmed from Hugh Hefner & all the promiscuous behavior in the Playboy Mansion Pond...Think about it, You can't tell your kids to go play in the grotto...lol.

Ok, I'll take one too 😍🤯

Wonder how to keep the algae under control

[@flipperc6042]

We had a small pond in the bkyard. Consisted of a waterfall that fed a small area that dropped into a 10’ pond that dropped into a 8’ pond. I loved it BUT the worms and algae was too much for me! Cleaning the filters were a nightmare and the critters were scary

So what do the poor people do that have vision some skills and a desire for a recreational pond? It is discouraging when I watch these videos and its like if you dont have a quarter million your shit out of luck. I hope to show how something magical can be done with 10's of thousand and not hundreds.

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Every kid wants a Ferrari for their first car. You should have seen my first pond! We all start somewhere. The key is to start!

I wonder how many of those rocks were paid for by clients off jobs where they weren't used.

LMAO.... way to DESTROY the value of a property.... small pond is one thing.... WHO IN THE HELL would buy this property with the maintenance and cost it would take to maintain.... this monstrosity? 500,000 to a million as stated in the video to make this???? Buy a house on a small lake.... this is a cool build BUT STUPID AS HELL

John Adams you are a genius I watched all your videos on the building of this pond and it is truly amazing, I live in the UK, and what I would give to have the land and money to create something like this. This is what dreams are made of God bless you and your family (and by the way I watch all of your videos Greg they are fantastic) Hopefully going to build a pond this year but nothing on the scale of this.

[@KoiAddiction]

Well, I hope to be back over to MJ’s place in the UK in a couple months. He’s having an event there and I plan to attend :-) I’ll see you if you’re there!
