So much prettier and more practical than a pool and no chemicals! Perfect!

[@tangoESPECIAL]

Nasty skin rash and health issues included in the South when that pond reaches 80F+

[@siegejay6364]

I've been binge-watching Greg's videos for the past 3 days. This by far is my favorite on how much value was put in such a small space.

[@ThePanamaDevil]

This is gorgeous. This is what I want in my back yard, but maybe just a little bit bigger pool.

[@DriveByGuy]

Pandacat 666 i think pool would be correct, wouldn’t it? A pool of water is just a small body of water, usually the product of rainfall.

[@judyallison2277]

Fantastic one of my favourite ponds yet

[@bethmontgomery1331]

Nice work Bobby - Beautiful Aquascape Recreation Pond!!!!

[@CallDerek]

That is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the natural pool in the smallish space.

[@jordanwitbeck7630]

Wow, talk about transforming the space! Great job.

[@Snoogans2you]

Very talented guys!

Nothing is better than a natural filter wow just georgeous

[@robertforrest7956]

The pool/pond is exquisitely done!! Truly a low maintenance yard too. 👍 😘

[@alexandersibilio7436]

Awesome feature congrats to the team 👏 👏👏 This helps people understand you don't really need a lot of space to enjoy the Acquascape lifestyle !!

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

So true!

[@omarmartinez7277]

Man, I haven't had time to watch any videos in a while... But I'm glad I saw this one. Im currently in the works of building my pond, and I'm going with a formal/ ecosystem pond... And literally the design is to be similar, except I'm going for a circular design vs rectangle... Omg I love this, it almost exactly what I was looking to do... 💜💜💜💜💜

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Have fun! Sounds like a great project!

[@vmontene]

Everything about this recreational pond is spectacular! Very beautiful!

[@lorettamaeder7219]

Yup, another great 💡. You ARE an answer to prayer, "hmm, what do I need?" Then BAM! You vlog about it. You Do Have an answer for every need. 👏 Amazing.

[@BlakesExoticAnimalRanch]

So awesome!

[@wildpacksports]

I think I’ve watched all the videos now and somehow this one comes up last…and it’s my favorite and might be what we’re looking for in our small backyard.

[@theresanessralla1126]

Wow, love this! My dream pool pond!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

This is all kindsa fabulous👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am sure the homeowner now has more friends than she ever realized! Beautiful work, absolutely beautiful work.

[@joemiller213]

Greg the pond guy I love your company and the Millions and Millions of CACs

[@JennyLee57]

Incredible job. Absolutely love it. Water quality is perfect...and natural ! Kudos to the creators!

[@kaitlyndipietro8776]

Absolutely stunning!

[@petersamios5409]

Am so glad that the swimming ponds have finally come to the states. I have been interested in them for the last 15 years and most that I saw were in northern Europe.

[@christinasnowgoer6359]

One of the best natural looking pool I have ever seen! Fantastic job. I would love to start building natural pools.

[@pondscapesaz]

Inspiring video. The Block Work is awesome! Sean is of course a huge asset that has helped us in the past as well. Nice job guys 👍

[@mayamartinez4723]

Gorgeous natural pool. Would love to swim on that 7 days a week❤❤❤

[@howardroark8553]

This is gorgeous! I can't believe no one has asked... HOW MUCH DID THIS PROJECT COST???

[@chrisgentry7195]

At least as much as a regular pool if not more

[@funtyes1970]

I say like $40k to $50k or more .doing them ponds and stuff it not cheap .if you see good size pond and water falls it sell for $100k and more

[@boardwalkbw7130]

Exactly wayyyyyyyy too costly I will do it my damn self before I pay that

[@zacmax06]

take your time and when complete you will have burnt a ton more hours@@boardwalkbw7130 I agree tho I think I can get something similar around 8K

[@MrCameronsterling]

I like what they did there, wasn’t sure it was a pool until you got in

[@treysmith4067]

Wow! Great idea to make the intake bay a lounge area!

[@TnTYoutubeNetwork]

Best swim pond i have see for the size prefect outcome!!! By far best results I have seen in a while!

[@angelmarie2005]

This would be so awesome to have in the backyard. Love this.

[@Crystalhurb]

Good morning Greg wow this is spectacular im speechless for sure. What an amazing pond pool. I absolutely love it. Fantastic work shown on this job for sure. Could only imagine owning that i wouls be in heaven. Fantastic job. Have an amazing week Greg and ill see you next video like alwasý

[@arnoldmayii3563]

That is SUPER nice!

Good-bye swimming pools, hello SWIM PONDS!

[@bradley5674]

This is exactly what I vision except larger.

[@bradley5674]

Envision*

[@milkandcookyz]

I'd made it larger, but also I'd give the swimming area a more natural shape.

[@antomano5623]

Larger and wider, always much better

[@TMichael1415]

WoW! That's a beautiful swim pond.

[@milothechihuahuabrunetandmommy]

It's so beautiful I love it perfect size thank you for sharing God bless you always have a beautiful day

All it needs are some turtles to swim with! 🤣👊

[@chrislombardo9573]

GREAT WORK BOBBY!

[@shadowbanned5164]

That is the most awesome pond I can imagine myself floating around in that pool on a tube big floppy hat sunglasses and sucking on a beer on a hot day with maybe some quiet hula music filtering out of the house ;)

[@thedude7319]

When you are so friendly that showing shade at a yard seems like an hopeful tip

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

LOL. Yes! I wish everyone could enjoy the Aquascape Lifestyle!

[@billnauss4117]

This is incredible. Only a CAC with a network of pro's could pull this off!

[@Harden476]

I love it! I'd much rather have that than grass and a pool any day! So nice!

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

I agree!

[@jeromehorn7333]

Sooo beautiful!!

Beautiful. That type of backyard natural pool would be great in a tropical country too.

I was curious, would the water be ok to drink?

Gorgeous build. How much was the total project cost?

[@dennisfeldmann7399]

OOH I want that!!!😘

[@bradg1440]

How much does it cost? That's what we need to know! This is great for a small space, but how much does it cost?

[@amydunn4404]

This!!!! I want this!!!

[@Fedgery007]

So pretty. The green color of the water is my only hesitation. We associate that green color with a dirty pool even though I know it’s clean water.

[@lindaleslie5634]

Great job!

[@angelajwolters9126]

I love it!!!

[@katrinaskevofylakas7585]

[@orion8835]

I am so into this. Gorgeous.

[@rneil1241]

I want this!!

[@1975normal]

Awesome pond video

[@mentalarson]

I am doing an off-grid property. In general, are these pumps the same size as typical pool pumps to achieve sufficient water exchange, or are the pumps smaller since they run 24/7? I assume the wattage consumption nets out about the same since moving less water all day requires about the same work as moving a lot of water for 8-10 hours a day.

[@bethsheeba1198]

Always come back to this pond. Sigh I wish I could get one.

[@christyhughes6632]

Incredible. Sorry for the rude question but exactly how much did that cost the homeowner from beginning to completion?

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Approximately $90K

[@Harsha36534]

Hello Greg, I'm from mysore India

[@cvjorgensen]

Very nice! Are the pumps above ground, or did they use submersible?

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Submersible.

[@cvjorgensen]

@@GregWittstockThePondGuy Interesting! I've seen some comments online that only above ground pumps should be used for swimming ponds to avoid risk of electrocution. Are submersible pumps safe for swimming ponds?

[@cdurch1]

This is one of the very few "biopool" setups I've seen that didn't use any plastic liner at all... in that regards, its a bit of a game changer for our plans.

[@AaronStrunk]

at 5:49 during the construction you see them lay down the pond liner.

[@themontephone875]

Greek impressed!

[@adrianalonzo410]

Wow I like it

[@dcharlottecg]

It is beautiful! Around how much would a pool like that cost?

[@DrWarBear]

Like that? 40-50k maybe (guessing). It’s the stones that really add up the cost. If you wanted a similar size but didn’t add the stone aesthetic you could certainly do for cheaper. There’s other videos on KZbin of guys making their own for 15k, sometimes less than 10k (but they don’t look as good as this one does, this is pure art right here)

[@SjaakSchulteis]

What a beautiful swimming pond. I built one myself with biological filters in the tropics (Thailand). From all ponds I have seen so far, mine is the only one with clear water and it is running like that already for 8 years. I'm planning to put an extra basin for relaxing next to it, but need to figure out to connect it to the main pond. I was thinking of getting a sandfilter, but now I decided to go the same route. I want to have that seperate spot because I had a piece land behind my pond that was just gathering weed. And the fish I have in my pond are hungry and never stop picking on me whenever I'm in the pond. I'ld like to have one section without fish.

[@cameliapruneda4881]

Would you be able to make that into a saltwater pond? If so I would love to see how that would be done.

[@garrygalvez9339]

I would also be interested to know . By saltwater you mean “sea water salty” and not the salt water pool that is chlorinated by a chlorine generator ? Thanks

[@rglinton4241]

Beautiful! Going to build one in Costa Rica at a remodel. One question??? What does the constant water pump system cost (Electric bill)? Runs 24/7? Off at night ok? Thanks for your response!

[@noelurgel7237]

Did you get permit to build that?

[@doldenar6853]

Beautiful does it get slimy, and is it safe for dogs due to the algae

[@whatthekyle]

New 11 minute drinking game... take a shot every time you hear "correct".

How much is a smaller natural pond lioe thia run?

[@TheHoi123456]

Swimming pool: exist Aquascape & gangs: *ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES*

[@sikosis999]

i have a question. . . what's the operational cost of that set up a year? or maybe the 'average kWh usage a year' vs actual . . curious because that's near the size of a set up i'm doodle'n right now :)

[@garrygalvez9339]

I think it wan mentioned the pump used is 9,000 gallons per hour - from Amazon , 620 W rating. Is you run this 8 hours per day, 4,960 Wh - at 12 cents per kWh in the US, that’s about 18 dollars per month.

[@sikosis999]

@@garrygalvez9339 mathz . . . :) . . you win man ,thx.

[@LA_FAMILIA_AZUL]

I love it but how much does a swimming pond cost?

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

This one cost around $90K - but price depends on variables like the size, type of stone used, etc.

[@catsoutofthebag24]

Well that proves it. My little yard can have a Beautiful Rec Pond! Fairwinds!

[@alisonshanahan9529]

Very elegant look, I'd add koi to add interest.

[@m.a.1015]

Sweet!

[@trammelsmith5632]

Wow! That looks great! What does it cost to put something like this in? We’ve been thinking about putting in a swimming pool, but this would look so much better, and all natural!

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Approximately $90K

[@trammelsmith5632]

About the same as were getting quoted to put in an in ground concrete pool! 😀

[@trammelsmith5632]

Thanks, Greg...

[@jeffpeterson6335]

What about fish? Does the cut limestone prevent having Koi? Amazing project!

[@hbell150]

Love it!

[@LampWaters]

Tips for setting your waterline below grade? I want a nice clean finish around the edges like This and a walkway around the pond but I'm unsure of my waterline and how to do edging at ground level with a walkway right next to the pool.

[@jessicagrewe229]

Sweet & so how much would a project like this cost??

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

About $90K

[@needlestick1019]

Question: can you grow vegetables in the filter area? I'm thinking why not grow your food in your pool? Two birds with one pool.
