How to Build a Garden Pond (w/ Monica from The Weekender)

[@kellypruitt2362]

Yay! So happy to see Monica, please bring back the Weekender.

[@saulgoodman2018]

It's been 2 years. It's not coming back.

[@sherrydobbins1409]

I just discovered the weekender ..I just read this where it's no longer being done..sad..

[@zebrobertson]

Best pro tip was reminder to keep edge of pond liner above surrounding ground! If not for that, my future pond would likely result in fish swimming through the grass in my yard at the next heavy rain! Thank you for the tip!

[@Dawn-tv1bk]

Wow, this project was more involved than I realized. So glad to see Monica back! An approximate cost for this project and amounts used would be a nice addition to the video . Thanks for sharing this project with us.

[@sethwalsh8095]

Old comment but I’ve seen plenty vids showing how to build budget ponds (100$). It will obviously not be as extravagant as this shown one (300$) for the plastic liner alone, over 1000$ overall is cheap for a fully built pond with proper filtration, with plants and rocks.

[@Ohdipson8]

@@sethwalsh8095 the liner is $99. The links are above......

[@sethwalsh8095]

@@Ohdipson8 use lime stone liner you could make a 600 gallon pond for 99$ using it. Pumps are 30$ on Amazon as well. You may be able to find some old pool liner if you ask around enough even. Wish you the best of luck in building your pond.

[@WALLUMOT]

It's best to put the pump at the furthest end from the waterfall as it helps the water to circulate properly.

[@diekritischestimme]

Yes, but waterlilies hate moving water. But this design is horrible anyway, if you ask me. It feels cheap and 80% of the black plastic is still visible, once the water is clean.

I have no clue how to make any of these "dude projects." I have no patience to learn these things. 😔 I always skip to the final product. But a mini pond sounds cute. I want a coy one. 🤔💡Im gonna put those kiddie pool things into the ground. Itll be cheap & i can rig it up to look just as nice 🤗. Im just being stupid. These are the things i do at 3 am.

I did this for under $100 and it turned out like absolute paradise! My family also has a history with building them, so it was fun!

[@shawnp8076]

Did you get everything from Lowe's? How did you do this for under a 100? That's awesome

Nice video! My neighbor put in a pond and learned that you should also think about putting places where critters can get out if they get into the water. He found a dead rabbit in his and a few birds, too.

[@torysetliff]

Monicaaaa! Yay! Hope y'all are working on another season of The Weekender. Give the people what they want, Lowe's.

[@Around_The_Home]

Small suggestion. Before adding the backfill sand, temporarily place some concrete block on the bottom of the liner. This will help prevent the liner from moving as you add the backfill.

[@YomsKoi]

I built a 10x 15 pond in my backyard by hand almost 2 years ago now I love it so much

[@danielp1629]

We all love Monica! Glad to see again!

[@sherrydobbins1409]

Just read where it's no longer being filmed...then read this..is it still being produced? I just discovered these and loved my binge watching...hoping it's still being produced.

[@pawcificpurrsea7874]

Perfectly lovely little pond. Thanks for sharing! Would liked to have seen a close-up on how the landscape around filter looked when finished. We're also looking at putting in an overflow drain, and an auto-refill....totally self sustaining.

I love this pond! I think I’ll put one in my backyard. I’m so glad you are making videos again. Thank you for all your knowledge.

[@goodygoody5450]

I'm hooked on this Monica person. It's so empowering to see a woman lead a conversation in home improvement and do it so well. I know they're out there, and I feel like more women would be encouraged to learn with some good leaders.

[@Mccormick2023]

Yeah mostly men do this kinda stuff my mom always planted flowers and stuff like that but my dad did the rest of that kind of work

[@n8020]

That’s different, I just see her as a person. Dosnt even occur to me to label her as a leader or taking charge. She’s hosting the show and I would have the same thought if it were a man talking. Seems like you can’t just enjoy the show without attaching labels and roles from your built in complex.

[@outdoorboyzuk2330]

I love this video I’ve watched it twice it’s encouraged me to do my own pond :) x

Cool thank u for helping me now I made my own pond it was 4,000 gallons of water in it thanks for the help again

[@lowes]

Hey there, Keith! We love to hear that you did this one yourself 💪🏼 We’re putting together a highlight video of DIY projects our KZbin subscribers have done and we’d love to include yours! Nothing fancy…just looking for either an image or a quick video of the finished project. If you’re interested, send me an email at [e-mail]!

[@YomsKoi]

Post some videos of it id love to see it , my budget allowed me for a 2000 gallon pond for about 1k

[@DrumFilterRau]

Appreciate the video! You might want to try a drum filter for even better pond care. It cleans the water on its own and needs very little maintenance. It’s also energy-efficient, costing only about 50 cents a month. If you’re looking for an easier way to keep your pond clean, this could be a perfect fit.

[@Soralax]

That's actually super useful video. It covered basically everything that I wanted to know.

[@lowes]

Glad to hear it!

[@Soralax]

@@lowes will share the result of following your guide for sure. Thank you for advices :)

[@matthewtucker2103]

Moss would really make the rocks pop. Plus it would probably assist in the filtration of the water.

[@TheArlberg1]

Spot on both of You! Watched it all the way in Australia. I have learned to put an escape for water that would lift and tilt a pond like that. I happened 2x. Trees I would keep well away. I have two ponds connected with a waterfall but it does not always run. So I need to wait for my Springtime! Richard

Just got a free pond shell. Going to install it in my garden railroad this summer. Great video to find here.

Excellent video. Explained everything. Im gonna try it.

[@MARIADaSilva-dw9cs]

Fantastic for aquatic plants and the zen sound of water. I wouldn't put fish in it.

[@janeEriley]

If one is to add fish, they should wait until the water is clear. But first add the declorinization chemicals and such.

Also make sure to take all the soil out of the pot it has fertilizer in it witch helps algae grow

You could always dig a larger hole and use just the liner. You could source out lighting online. Just look for submersible lights.

It’ll over flow. just use buckets and take water out so the filter doesn’t fill

@Yudi Wang I have one of those ponds it's dug into the ground an around the edge has rock wall so when it overflows nothing can exit except water or drill small overflow holes around the top of pond

Speaking from experience lily pads are fine as long as you make sure you get the kind that grow slowly also don’t plant reeds in your pond they grow too fast and the roots will put holes in the liner
