[@bandolero5068]

Creating something that enhances an already lovely setting is a wonderful thing to be able to do.

This is so great - it's exactly what we'd like to do with our pond that is 60 years old and almost this exact same size and shape (I also commented on another of your videos today). Our pond is a frog/salamander/dragonfly habitat, no fish, and we want to keep it that way. It fills naturally from runoff coming from the mountain behind it and there is also an outlet channel to prevent overflow. It has a stone border just like this one and I'd *love* to install a stone terrace at one end just like this one. I also love the shallow underwater shelf with reeds, that would look great in our pond.

Wow, absolutly stunning, thank you for the revisit and new view 🙂

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Best, Ed

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

You nailed the water spill, it does actually look as if it has worn its way into the yard Ed. Loved the closing underwater shots !

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks Tony-I find it’s important to make sure a cascade is built into the ground/lower then ground level, rather then sitting on top (as is frequently the case) and this helps to make it look more natural! Thanks for watching and commenting as always! Best, Ed

WOW! The creek flowing into the pond is absolutely perfect as is the pond overall. You are a Master pond designer.

pond looks great! i personaly love rudd and have a few in my koi/garden pond ;)

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks for your kind words! Rudd are underrated in my opinion-a lovely addition to a pond and a very heron resistant fish as well! Thanks for watching and commenting! Best, Ed

[@keepingitkoi]

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks so much! A comment like that coming from someone in the trade means a lot-cheers!! Best, Ed

@CrystalClearAquatics @Ed soooo nice, very idyllic and charming!! I would like such service and commitment into ponds you do here in my country Switzerland 😊. I have 'only' a high constructed pond of 1.6m3🙈. My aim would be a 10m3 , but I need a bigger garden. Cheerz from Switzerland.🍻

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks Robert- appreciate your kind words. I love my hiking and climbing-Switzerland is somewhere I’d love to visit one day! Best regards, Ed

[@BigRobuk]

great to see it so settled, hope mine looks half as good one day.

@@CrystalClearAquatics hope your well. I tried a few methods to reach out on here and via your business contacts. I get I am not local, and you maybe not interested in my job, if you know anyone who might be or you could recomend? as I want to get someone good in to tie up these last few bits.

What’s your take about owners dogs drinking from the ponds , as dog saliva is bacterial to them but having it in the pond will it affect the fish , keep vids coming thanks

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Morning! I’m no scientist but no-personally i’d have no concerns about pond livestock should my pet dog decide to drink from the pond. I very much doubt any bacteria from the dog would be able to transfer to the pond and pose a threat. I’d be more concerned about my dog contracting something from the pond water to be honest!! I would obviously try to discourage any pet going into a pond however- there’s always a risk the pond lining, pipework planting etc could incur some damage. Hope this helps, thanks as ever for watching and commenting! Best, Ed

[@timnunn3813]

hi ed great work again not sure if you saw my comment on wether i need to treat natural limestone with g4 or something similar or just leave it be regards tim

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks Tim- have just responded to your original message! Best, Ed

[@MrRussgay]

love the pics under the water, u should do it for longer :)

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks for watching and commenting and I’ll make sure to add more underwater footage when I can! Best, Ed

[@rolanddickson7041]

Very nice indeed

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Thanks for saying so! Best, Ed

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Brilliant as always Ed. A quick question if you don’t mind, do you just chop the plant buds off and discard them? Thanks

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Hi there! Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes-re the expired flower buds on the iris (and many other flowing pond marginals) simply cut away the bud and stem as close to the crown/base of the plant as possible and discard. Hope that helps! Best, Ed

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@CrystalClearAquatics Thanks Ed, that’s so helpful, cheers, see you on the next video.

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

Thanks!

[@CrystalClearAquatics]

Once again Tony my sincere gratitude for being so generous-thank you very much! Best regards, Ed
