thanks to the bog filter it is always clear

[@catsoutofthebag24]

Awesome! Fairwind!

[@ayarottilsandeep545]

Good one, really clear water and good wetland filter.

[@gbbudd7772]

The bog and allowing nature to do what she does best. Is the only way to go in my eyes.

[@sasgreengardenia5405]

Superb

[@gbbudd7772]

Thank you

[@mulletgrower8891]

Wow beautiful! I love all the wood you used, the whole thing looks so natural, great job.

[@gbbudd7772]

Much appreciated, the wood around the pond is just as necessary as is the boulders, fish, and plants. In photography there is the rule of thirds. It works in creating the picture as much as it does taking the picture.

[@surfcurry]

Oh man this is breathtaking. Great job

[@gbbudd7772]

Thanks guys

[@sofyanindracaya2785]

Nice 😎

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

[@gbbudd4781]

Thanks Greg, It's all your fault !!!!! Your video worlds most beautiful back yards was done so well, I was hooked the very first time I saw that video. I watched that video over and over. As well as all your videos. They were an inspiration in the construction and techniques. So i say to you sir Well Done!

[@catsoutofthebag24]

He did a good job! He should keep updating the pond's growth! Fairwinds!

[@gbbudd7772]

Well i finaly got some free time and made a showcase and build blog of the pond you can see it here www.gardenpondforum.com/showcase/gbbudds-12-000-gallon-koi-pond-full-build-and-layout.141/

[@lutrinaoutdoors3856]

Very nice job for a first pond!!! I hope I can come even close to how good this looks on my first one haha.

[@gbbudd7772]

I've always been a bit creative. Having built many things as a general contractor . This was just the next challenge.

[@acerockollaa]

The edges of the pond are so natural. The water flowing of the the log is amazing. Great work.

[@gbbudd7772]

Thank you, Its definitely is an avenue to let the creativity flow.

[@stevesmith6022]

O my god that is truly amazing I could sit and watch this pond for ever well done my friend fantastic job…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@gbbudd7772]

Kind words Thank you, i have always tried to make everything i built take lessons from nature.

[@turtlecat7856]

It's perfect. Are you in USA? I'm in Florida. Too hot but things are under control. I made my pond not natural and amazing like yours because the purpose was protection and nice life to my turtle Joy. Still i love to enjoy it. Now i have 12 gold fishes too, some snails and shrimps. Makes the life worthy. I guess you stay a lot next to this amazing pond. 🌸🌺🌴🦋🐸🦆🐢🐠🌸🌺

[@gbbudd7772]

We do, We spend many hours sitting and relaxing watching the wild life.

[@gbbudd7772]

Yes in the confused USA A long way from Florida. I'm up in Ct

[@gbbudd7772]

This video was early spring. Plants were just coming alive. I did a second video just recently after 5 weeks of letting everything grow. It has now been manicured a bit.

[@gbbudd7772]

very good !!!

[@shhh_iamthenight6933]

Challenge anyone to tell me that that wasn't a wild bull or leopard 🐸 @ 3:26 sitting right in the middle of that waterfall, Take A Look! This scape had to be $50+K.

[@gbbudd4781]

DYI as I had many of the needed supplies at my disposal such as free rocks / boulders even then with the cistern it's over 30k

[@gbbudd7772]

And growing I am in the process of reworking the matrix bog I want a larger waterfall. Going to be a costly addition . I should have just dropped a pump in the snorkel and pumped to a build up but . No volcanoes for me

[@carsandkoi]

amazing

[@belindafalgout1675]

Wow! DIY or pond company? Very impressive!!!

[@gbbudd7772]

My first pond build for myself and my family. It certainly gives a new fell to the social gathering . Watching the waterfalls. ,birds, frog, dragonflies, even the bubbles floating down the current.

[@thefishylife6823]

Wow this is impressive!!!! You built this yourself????

[@gbbudd7772]

Thank you . Yes i did and it was my first time doing anything like this. I'd love to be able to do it for a living. It was a very rewarding and by far the most enjoyable project that we use daily.
