A smaller water feature, properly fitted into its space, is just as artistic and maybe even more so than a large feature. Thank you for vlogging your creations so we can enjoy them too!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you Mark, we appreciate that!

[@marcospacheco7681]

OMG,,,the Best small área waterfall,,,i loved,,,,,

[@joecamerer2865]

I like having the couple of minutes at the end. It's lets us enjoy the sound and construction of the waterfalls. Nice work as always!

[@ncguy8322]

I totally agree!

Thanks!

[@lindaleslie5634]

Small space...HUGE impact! Great Job Jaak! 👏👍

[@thejimb76]

Wow! I just got done watching The Pond Professor’s massive intake bay project. What a contrast! And yet, the same basic principles and much of the same equipment. Aquascape macro and micro.

How nice 👍Just sitting there with a nice cup of coffee listening to the beautiful sounds of water . Calming...

The moss makes all the difference. As soon as you have finished it looks established. Good views of the feature too.

Thanks Samantha!

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

That little thing is AWESOME! That's basically the size I want at my current home here in Illinois (The true serenity pond feature is for when we move to Tennessee in a couple seven years). You make and your team make things look so natural, I just love it. I'm not gonna lie, a little dust might have blown up into my eye when you got to explaining one of the customers was going to be able to enjoy that feature, not by sight, but by sound. I felt like Eddie Murphy in Daddy Daycare, "Are you trying to just break me down in the driveway? Why you want to break me down?" 🤣

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

😢

[@mikephillips1973]

Atlantis Water Gardens do you guys service the sicklerville area. We are moving from the city and I almost bought the aquascape system to do myself. After a ton of time looking at the hundreds of pond videos out there I’m not sure. I was looking at the 11x16 delux kit.

[@scotttaurean4032]

Awesome work AWG team, Jaak I like how you faded the music slightly in the final sequence prioritising the water sound.

Nice feature in a small space! You shared the “secret source of moss” though. Now there’s not going to be anyone building moss-less waterfalls. Moss beware!

[@chriscarrasco5026]

I have amazing rocks a pump just trying to figure out how to carve the shelves on the dirt hill of course the liner also ya r best best i watch every day

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

I love that curve in the waterfall but it coming out straight at first is also perfect. I wonder how easy those ferns would come up; they’re loosely related to moss. That MT85 is a nice machine very natural to control. The real question is... is it still called a dingo? Do you consider those boulders limestone?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The boulders are fieldstone which is a mix of sandstone and granite

[@luudantu7211]

How big was this space? It looks amazing with the waterfall!

[@steve647my]

Another one for the calendar. It is surprising what you can fit in such a small space. Question, do you do the repairs on the lawn after you are done and is this part of the estimate for the job. You and your crew are true professionals.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We don’t do any lawn or landscape repairs. That is a conversation that is had before the project starts and they usually have their landscaper lined up to come after we’re finished 👍

[@philipeconomou7039]

I notice there are aquablock and a pump basin. Not sure how the two interact. Does water accumulate in the aquablocks then flow to the pump bin?

[@rivercrest-watergardens]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@guychevreau1780]

Another great job -- I'm so enjoying your videos, and I'm learning so much. Thank you for sharing your artistry and craftsmanship with us. I will be building my pond in a similarly small and confined space as in the backyard in this video -- fence corner on one end, and deck at the other. I'll have a waterfall down from the fence corner, and I will cantilever the deck over the pond. Question: have you ever built the pond skimmer and pump box under the deck and built a 'trap door' access into the deck to save space? Thoughts?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes! And it can work just fine. Make it a little larger than the skimmer itself 👌

[@kc03ti]

This is a beauty! Anyone point to a tutorial on how to wrap the liner edges on waterfall build? Really struggling to understand this part as I build my first one. In some spots the waterfall water level seems to be higher than we’re you could possibly have liner on the outsides...

[@cncelctrc]

Same with me

[@cheryldaniels8801]

Nice job! How much would this project cost? Small space waterfall?

[@rainyjr68]

Looks great! Was there existing electrical connection for the pump or did you need to put that in?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

There was existing electrical.

[@outdooreleganceco.3355]

What was the height from aqua blocks to the diffuser? It came out amazing as always!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks! It is 2’ of elevation

[@pggoudeau251]

I love this. A small job like this I wonder what would be the cost?

[@hansjas]

I would guess 8 to 9 k

[@pggoudeau251]

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Exactly Jays👍

[@Sammy31Dee]

Watch Greg wittstock the pond guy on YT too! He usually asks for numbers when pond touring which I'm surprised how openly the biz owners share their prices ...but it's usually worth every penny bc these guys are legit artists

[@BipinKumar-lucknow]

Its amazing.. Just perfectly fit this small space. May I know its size?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

About 8’ long

[@Bronze_Winged_Pionus]

Seems fairly loud for that enclosed space. Is there flow control if you want it slower/quieter?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes

[@yiorghosgeorge591]

I would like to know how I could calculate the appropriate power of the pump that I should use in creating some of ur structures if you wish to let me know how to. Thank you again

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We usually size it to 3000 gph per foot of waterfall width

[@GreenGoblin13B]

When the project starts I'm thinking fountain kit and then you went with aqua-blocks. Was this because of the quantity of water required to run the feature? Awesome work as always!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

You could use the Aquabasin if you wanted

[@mercedesman4774]

@@AtlantisWaterGardens Hi. What is the general retail cost to build a small-space pondless waterfall? I'm super busy at work, but would love to have someone come in and build one at my house. Thanks!

[@Luddit368]

How do you pull off a job like this without a Bobcat? Both sides of my house are narrow with neighbors on either side. Does that mean wheelbarrows and heavy lifting? Choosing boulders that can be muscled around by one or two people. Thx

[@matthewmahnke5010]

I am 17 years old and have recently started a water feature business. I had been building ponds for about 6 years for friend and family and this year I started my business. I recently got some traction and it has picked up a lot. I’m now booked until June. I met with a costumer yesterday and they had started to dig a pond but got too busy. They were turned of with the price and asked if I would dig the pond and they would do all the rock work themselves. This was incredible frustrating that they would hire a professional to do the grunt work and try to do the skilled work themselves. What advice do you have for dealing with customers who like DIY projects and don’t understand the value in hiring someone with experience?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

That’s a great question Matthew and good luck with your business! I usually have that conversation up front before starting any kind of work so that the expectation is already set and there is no confusion later on. Hope this helps

[@matthewmahnke5010]

Thank you

[@FrznFngrs]

Depending on how busy of a schedule you think you will keep, you certainly have the right to turn them down as hole digging is not your specialty.

[@russellgraham2112]

Did you repair the lawn?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Before commencing any project, we inform homeowners that landscaping and related tasks will be their responsibility. While we strive to minimize any additional work, certain situations may result in unavoidable disturbances.

[@russellgraham2112]

That was quick! Thanks. You checked a new comment on a 4 year old vid and replied in 28 minutes?!? I was impressed by your professionalism as shown in the vids (of which I have watched a lot in recent days because I’m planning a pondless stream through a Japanese garden for my front yard) but I’m more impressed with your professionalism now. I have a couple of questions though. What’s the flow rate in the installation in this vid and what flow rate would I need for a gentle flow off a rock into a gently sloping watercourse full of pebbles? The head height will probably only be about a metre, maybe a metre and a half if I can get a big enough rock. I don’t want a lot of noise and splashing but I want to see the water flowing over the pebbles and not have it trickling under them. Thanks.
