Mark - our garden has been transformed since you built us this wonderful ecosystem and wildlife pond. Im running out of bird seed because the amount of birds that this pond has attracted has increased threefold. Since you have finished this pond it has started to develop and evolve into a living system with damselflies, pond beetles and birds bathing. Thank you so much. Lisa and I will be eternally grateful to you for what you have created for us. The garden is being finished tomorrow with turf going down. Its been a project and a half but so well worth it.

[@ThePondAdvisor]

Thank you, it will only get better to!

Hi Your pond is real nice. im building a pond and revamping my back garden. Hoping to get it to this standard. Where did you purchase the wall. Thats class. I need a wall like this to deaden the sound from a road that's at the rear of my property. Is it sound proof 'to a degree'. Hoping you can help. cheers

[@ThePondAdvisor]

bags GA thank you for taking the time to watch, any questions fire away

[@bagsga9454]

@@ThePondAdvisor I do have a question! I love how you made the water flow through the hollow log. I've seen other ponds use logs and branches for a really natural look. (Have you seen the youtube video from Bama Bass? -- Aquascape contractors come and build a HUGE bass pond. Very fun!) But what happens as the wood ages? Does it release tannins and discolor the water? Or muck it up in any way? If using wood, do you foam it in tight? Or leave it loose for easy removal, assuming that it will eventually need to be replaced? Thanks!

[@ThePondAdvisor]

You can easily remove most things out of foam, it’s not like cement, the wood does not rot as fast as out of the water, but having said that it does still break down above the water. Tannins do leach out of some types of wood, you need to know what wood it is also, yes I have seen and was talking to a number of the contractors when they were on site. It’s (a natural element) fantastic for insects!

It is looking absolutely fabulous. Totally matured. Lillies have flowered as well as many of the other plants. Toads have come in. Field mice living in the rocks. Birds bathing and our first woodpecker! Alpines planted and just a few goldfish (sorry Mark) couldn't resist. One of the best investments my wife and I have ever made. Ill be putting some images and a flyover with the drone in the next few weeks.

[@ThePondAdvisor]

50 mm flexible PVC pipework, standard solvent cement from Screwfix, we supply and the pipework and fitting separate from the components. You can use 38 or 40” with the different fittings of course. I prefer to use solvent cement with the flow rates however.

[@Craigo5000]

[@colinmayes5892]

Mark, the spillways have to be dead level for the water to flow evenly, but the rocks in front to hid the spillway do they have to be be slightly higher or the same level as the water exit?

[@ThePondAdvisor]

The spillway what’s to be level or pitched forwards a little, weather you can put rock in front depends on the pump.

[@tomive8996]

The pump is in an intake bay or surface skimmer.

Hi mark, love the video’s. Can you tell me why you cut the edge of the waterfall lip off and what’s the best tool to use to do this. Also what adhesive do use you around the overspill of the waterfall box before you attach the liner . I’ve got the nail polish remover 😜👍

[@ThePondAdvisor]

I use black silicone (aquascape) or gold seal as the adhesive, it must be fish or aquatic safe. I use a multi tool to cut the lip of the waterfall box as I prefer to build my own spillway stone, I don’t always. Sometimes I set the waterfall filter back from the stones and then I leave the lip on!

Hi Mark, great as always, waiting to see you incorporated into one of the garden programmes on TV ;o) just wondered here, am I seeing right..... in the video at the end it looks as if you have put pebbles in the top of the waterfall box/filter and to all intents and purposes the top is not covered but exposed but covered with pebbles - Have I seen right in this case?

yes you are totally right, most of the time if the top of the waterfall boxes is not seen then we level it open but it its part of the landscape you can see when walking around we landscape it much better, its simply cosmetic

Hi fantastic video i am building a waterfall it will be roughly 5 feet high 6 feet wide on the water down run then the pond at the bottom will be any size i was told a pump 7000 litres an hour will work would that be big enough i do like a lot of water coming down.

[@ThePondAdvisor]

4000 litres per hour will give you 1cm of water over 30cm so for a 6’ or 1.8m wide waterfall/stream that’s not much water?

[@mstrmpt2830]

I love your work and have studied several of your videos. I am preparing to get busy with renovating my 14'X 8'X4' pond with 8' stream. I have questions about three areas: waterfall supports, plumbing, and pond skins/liners. My biggest question is about the supports for building up the waterfall as the ground is currently flat and people will be able to pass behind it. I want good optics from all angles but also want it to be sturdy and safe. My other conundrum is about the plumbing. I want to have 2-3 different water falls. 1 main (3'-4') and two smaller accent water events. Do I need to add an additional pump for the 3rd water fall event or should I use 2 "T's" ? My pump is the Dhp4200 Debris Handling Pump in 4235Gph. I also purchased a skimmer for this renovation. Do I use 50 mil PVC pipe or should I use the kink free pipe from AquaScape? Finally, where is the best place to get the gate controls/valves and T's that you use -- hardware store or pond supply? Lastly, the pond liner. I will keep the 45 mil liner that I already have in the pond. My question is which thickness should I use for the waterfall? Which thickness should I use for the bib in the rock display and water flow design? You said to ask questions. I hope I haven't gone over board. Please help. Thanks in advance!!!

[@ThePondAdvisor]

not at all, yes use the same liner 45mil (1mm EPDM in the UK), yes use the 2' pvc aquascape pipe, i would use two Ts yes three values, were is the best place to buy the gate values from the same supplier as the PVC pipe, might be more expensive but support them, plus you know its all the right size. I do not know anything about your pump! build a retaining wall so you don't have to grade the soil down behind the waterfall. Hope that helps

Wow 🤩

[@ollvebranch]

I loved it all! B u t . . . . Stupid question, but where’s the water coming from? You never showed where the hose circuitry went or the power set-up to make it all move. Is that in a different video?

Great video, what is it that you use for "joining" the rocks together?

[@chrisstevenson5397]

Watched it again, you do mention waterfall foam. Just hope I ordered enough. a great video confirmed lots (which is always nice to know you were thinking along the right track) and gave me a few ideas.

Hello Mark, Yes, an amateur mistake. 75% through the project and the pond is rapidly loosing water. The waterfall liner has a leak! Thinking it’s near the end of the fall, can I remove the rocks up to half way and tuck a new piece of liner underneath with say a 40cm overlap? If I starting at a high point and , then remove the waste with the suspected leak? Thinking that the downward flow will be sufficient not to back up and under the new section.

[@ThePondAdvisor]

Yes you need a grade change of 6” - 8” (15cm to 20cm)

[@syedshawkethussainrizvi9503]

Where is the skimmer and pump? Did you use the 1000 Aquascape skimmer?

When adding a waterfall to an existing pond. How do handle the liner at the pond area where you want the waterfall to go? How do you add the waterfall liner ?

[@ThePondAdvisor]

6” over lap no underlay but overlay yes. You can seam the liners together with EPDM but if you have a fall you should be ok

What is the litre flow rate of the pump in this video?

[@ThePondAdvisor]

John Black 7000 litre per hour for the two waterfalls

[@shawnerickson3346]

Absolutely stunning. Can you let us know how much just the raw materials cost? I.e stones, gravel, liner, pumps, etc. I’m across the pond but it would be amazing to get an idea of we’re looking at to make something that amazing.

[@ThePondAdvisor]

Look at purchasing a 11’ by 9’ aquascape pond kit, the other materials cost change from area to area, some places you can get the aggregate for 20 a ton other areas 200-300 per ton.
