New One Acre Pond Is Done!

[@paulmaddocks8597]

Like to see a short video of when it’s full 🤙🏼

[@jwicker579]

Just finished watching the one acre pond from start to finish. Enjoyed watching, learned a lot...thanks for sharing.💪👍👍

[@bobbaer869]

Chris could you make a video of the 5 acre pond since the grass has probably grown

[@Wild-Wisdom]

Nice work, good looking pond. I think anyone can appreciate all the time you put in it to do it right and finish it out real nice. Makes the lincoln memorial reflecting pool proud.

[@donbraden8533]

Very nice pond you and your crew did a great job 😎👍👍👍

[@OakesProject]

I wish everyone took such pride in their job and thought about the client as much. Great footage as always! Hey since you're a super famous rich KZbinr and stuff we would like you to go snatch a Komatsu D575A so we can watch you push around some brush piles and maybe a little dirt. That would be great! Hopefully that video will be coming out soon!

[@davidrobins4025]

I'm sure people who contract you to do their work like this are very happy with the finished product. You make it look great.

[@moman0166]

Very nice finish work and your exactly right about the track marks for washing and grass. I rough till a piece of ground then I put my grass seed down. The only other thing is I spread straw on top and I always have a great stand of grass. People overwork their seed bed till it’s smooth and I don’t care how much straw you put on it there will be washouts. Let Mother Nature do the smoothing.

[@mrbakerskatz]

Thanks Chris , You certainly do your part to Make America Great ! Very nice channel

[@ItiscalledaMANDATE]

I would love to see this thing full of water and say 1 year after to see how green it is. Awesome work.

[@colinratcliffe2454]

Chris, again a wonderful video and well completed job. I bet the land owner should be happy. God Bless from Australia.

[@briangardiner1015]

Nice drone shot of the dozer on the tag trailer on the dump truck and the skid steer on the work truck getting ready to head out.

[@ChurchOfChristguyRob]

Enjoy your videos especially the pond building videos, you do excellent work

[@WesleyAPEX]

Finished right before the hurricane. Could get 10” of rain soon. Do a follow up! I bed it will be full by the end of next week. I’d bet money on it! Hopefully the rain isn’t too much.

[@coffee8866]

Very nice pond! They might get all the water they need if this storm swings up the coast next week. Great video.

[@jiminycricket2230]

Beautiful job!! Tracking the edge the way you did was just that little extra touch that made it stand out.

[@mischef18]

Always interested in the way you finish with the straw as it is not done down here, tidies it up nicely.

[@justinmills8084]

Nice looking pond, great job.

[@anthonyyarnell2785]

Chris, very entertaining I enjoy your narration and work. Keep it up.

[@royknight3099]

well done Chris. That’s a great finish.

[@rogertallentire2961]

Another good job. Another happy customer.

[@whitefarms2703]

Looks great.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Nice job Chris.. quick work!

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

Hey hey, looks good. 👍👍 have a good one.

[@bobbaer869]

What a great job Chris looks AWESOME

[@wolfpacva]

Nice looking pond. Hurricane Dorian should fill that pond up very fast.

[@raeanker3078]

Kirk Wilson Yes if it tracks up their way might do more than just fill it ,Cheers from down under.

[@donburg5125]

Nice job Chris, the pond looks great

[@dieselpower718]

Good to see a pond built right, I see many ponds built with a rock bottom and all I can do is scratch my head.

[@JCourts2k23]

Man you have a cool job, its like the world is your sand box, and you get to play with the real life Tonka toys.

[@marklewis4793]

..and he works sitting down!..outside!

[@jcgoogle1808]

[@lskiller1903]

Make equipment payments, insurance and tags, and payroll, and fuel bill, it ain't no game.

[@willowsverge3046]

@attovishnu you do realize that a lot of his work involves fixing safety issues like repairing dams so that folks homes arent washed away by huge rushes of water from nowhere. Cleaning up after hurricanes get done tossing trees everywhere. Removing beaver dams that actually endanger the health of the local flora and fauna because they cause backups that are killing trees, etc. creating paths for run off when it rains, draining swamps that breed mosquitoes etc that carry harmful diseases. In actual fact, hes doing far more to help the great outdoors than anyone picking around on a keyboard being judgmental. Hes beautifying and aiding nature to make the outdoors far safer and accessible for more people to go out to enjoy and respect. Perhaps before condemning things, you might want to research the topic at hand first. Sometimes its quite enlightening.

[@davidbrickey5925]

You guys did a beautiful job there. 👍😎☕️

[@davehoffman9767]

Looks great, love to see it full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nice Job Chris!!

[@naggersleadmatters3510]

What was the final cost for this pond, looking to have one made in a low spot I have on my land.

[@michelangelobuonarroti916]

I'd like to know that, too. Even a ballpark price. I would love to have a pond installed. Thanks.

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

Typically something like this about half acre $5-8k not sure what Chris charges ofcourse, could be a lot more.

[@kirk467]

Looks dam good CHRIS!

[@markbridle9329]

Yet another great looking job, nice place for a house on the hump you made.

[@oh8wingman]

It seems to me that a faster method to dress those slopes would be to use a version of the old sheep's foot rollers that were used for road base compaction. If you had a roller that could be filled with water for weight and the roller was covered with small protrusions you could just tow it behind a machine and it would do the job much faster. Just thinking out loud.

[@tomfields2700]

Another job well done.

[@davenelson9253]

Looks very nice !

[@yetisdeuce1315]

Great job! I love the aerial shots from the drone at the end!

[@johnclifton3910]

That is one of your better jobs right there Chris well done and did it in a short. Of time awesome keep them coming

[@michealmartin8565]

That looks awesome good job

[@forky-reviews-and-rants]

[@juniorraines1042]

Very nice work Chris enjoyed the video thank you for sharing

[@rollenabout9404]

Nice job 👍

[@Z71Ranger]

The bad thing about pond videos if the person building the pond is not the land owner we never get to see them full and all the grass grown... You do nice work!

[@PanzerBuyer]

Could possibility google map it if the general location is known.

[@dannysowell9071]

Nice garden spot

[@whateverittakes5580]

That really looks good Chris.

[@photocontrol]

Great job on the pond!

[@brianb8401]

that was a fun process to watch ,beginning to end, in my humble opinion, i have heard you comment in past videos about not understanding why people like watching your vids, i agree your job is actually rather boring, it is your skill that keeps me watching, keep it up mr dig and i will keep watching

[@georgeklimek3841]

Being done is fun.

[@medicineman1948]

All your work is absolutely beautiful!

[@MarkSmith-vb7ym]

You guys do one hell of a job it's like a piece of art keep up the great work 💪

[@mrskafloc4063]

Very nice work but is the soil alone enough to keep in the water,and why the straw?

[@roy8200]

That straw blower is awesome!

[@nickparimuha81]

U can use curlex on slopes to help keep the seed in and prevent wash out the laborers use it on hills on pipeline

[@davidriley8590]

please make a video of the pond when its filled up with rainwater

[@SemiErnie]

Like the rest are saying , do a follow up video when it's full . Then maybe do one the following year and see the progress what mother nature has done to it .

[@demandred1957]

Like your gauge cluster on the dozer.. F for Fast, R for Race!

[@janvandenbos7085]

Chris it looks so amazing , another acre pond job doen 👌😎👍

[@TonyGeneseo]

As always a great looking pond ! Don’t recall ever seeing u knock down a cofferdam with the dozer of all the vids I can remember ! Also I’m still pulling for an entire post of all your different ponds being full ! Jus sayin :)

[@gmass7238]

Looks good, you always do great work............

[@MarkMclaughlin-qm8kq]

Nice tank chris i in texas i enjoyed u videos please make more videos i always wondered how ponds tanks are built i learned something today what does the straw do protect against erosion i guessing does the overflow stop fish from escaping if owner stocks pond with fish eventually looks like good fishing hole i would like to know how much it cost to build a 1 acre tank and how many days did it take u guys to start to finish.

[@markfiges999]

Another nice job Chris - in an earlier vid you said something I was taught as an apprentice ''when it's done, it should look like we haven't been '' ……...getting on for 50 years later I still can't fault that statement.

[@Z71Ranger]

You could have used all that extra dirt to make berms to help funnel water into the pond... You could even charge more to do that for the customer instead of just spreading the dirt over the field...

[@abrammartens1223]

You should do a tourtorial on how to run a excavator and a dozer

[@seekingtko3146]

seed the pond bottom with grass, fish love it

[@craiglindbloom6419]

Awesome job done Chris

[@watwell]

Yeah please do a follow up when it's full. Mother nature will fill that up pretty quick I suspect. So when full i bet it takes a while to settle the silt and clear up right?

[@K_R87]

Oh you need to cut shelves in it for the bass to hide around, some drop offs with few post pounded into ground. In 5 years you’d have some big fish!

[@csnelling4]

Great job Chris 👍🇬🇧

[@michaelblackburn5418]

I wanna see it full of water will you have a after video when everything grows back and settles?

[@stevemazz3121]

I didn't hear where this was built but in Washington State this entire area would now be considered wetlands and the property would be subject to all the goofy Washington State Wetland Restrictions. The use of the surrounding land is regulated 200 feet away from the ponds edge in all directions. The one I remember most is NO cutting of planting within 50 feet of the waters edge....with building restrictions and more for the next 150 feet.... Hopefully this is not in a State with wetlands regulations.

[@aday1637]

Dam, another dam job done.

[@robfraley4210]

Real nice job. ✅👍

[@jamesweir2943]

nice job-i like the walkout for livestock

[@donnagelina8548]

I wanted to see it full!

[@davidgash719]

Thats some of the best topsoil i have seen Chris, top job as allways. dave

[@aland7236]

As always, an A+ job Chris! If I ever move to N. Carolina you be the guy I call for top notch work. As an aside, once hurricane Dorian is done here with Florida, I'm sure she'll bring some rain for y'all. Edited: English is hard sometimes.

[@andrewshullick4319]

Great video. Instead of mud you are playing in the water

[@waltermattson5566]

Very nice job.

[@davidglaum2538]

How long will it take for the water to clear up and the mud to settle down?

[@lordhoho1]

Do they need the pond to supply water to cattle etc

[@letsdig18]

horses

[@daviddraper7364]

nice job chris wish you lived closer to me i would have a lot of work for you guys!! awesome job

[@letsdig18]

thanks!

[@georgefletcher4489]

Was this pond spring fed or is it surface water runoff? Looks great.

[@ghilreese3413]

why is the grass cut into patterns? it looks like test plots. thanks for the videos.

[@jeffgates9083]

Nice work enjoyed watching this job

[@dexhummer1]

Great looking job there!!! Nice vid!

[@tonyloechte9994]

Bloody nice job Merry Christmas from Australia

[@DougMcoc]

I’m just curious how much does a job like that cost to make a pond

[@jay71512]

Just thinking of the fuel bill makes my eyes water!

[@thesage1096]

lol Jay

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

Typically something like this about half acre $5-8k but Chris is good contractor he might be charging more

[@JimPeachley]

Where does the water come from? What feeds the pond, keeping it from being a stagnant, weedy puddle?

[@Freecan67]

Great Job.

[@timgriffiths2429]

yah please do an update of how it looks now, must have grown in and possibly full of water now?

[@DigginLife21]

🔥That was fast

[@jodejekab]

Another great Job

[@kirk467]

Do you design the shape of the ponds and size?

[@theshadow1559]

Really nice job, as always thank you for the video.
