Saving The MCLEAN MIRACLE!

#premierponds After stumbling upon a HUGE long-lost waterfall & pond in McLean, Virginia, our aquatic experts fought through a truly-dastardly cleaning mission to restore the 100+ fish-filled ecosystem. But alas, there were still a multitude of deep-rooted issues...
So a whole year later, we went BACK for some early-spring construction to fix the massive feature once & for all, and make this backyard gem truly SHINE once more!

These fishes are living better then me wtf 😂😂😂

[@pascal590]

The little chipmunk transition at 12:00 😍😍😍 too perfect

[@FrogsForBreakfast]

My jaw literally dropped at the final reveal. Beautiful clear water, magnificent falls...

[@alyasfukename3355]

And now I've discovered a handyman/landscaping project I've never done. I must conquer a project like this

[@ReclaimerTyphoon]

It's been two weeks now - how did it go?

[@alyasfukename3355]

@ReclaimerTyphoon haven't accomplished it yet, gotta find the space.

[@devin_the_dude_3]

I can't wait till I buy a house on ample property to make this happen I hope you make it happen as well.

[@samwells4030]

10/10 waterfalls 10/10 video and that's goodie

[@smedlings]

All hail Wells

[@noober7449]

Ngl the liner sticking out around the waterfall looks like shit

[@cdropbox]

agree

[@Millmannl]

At 19:58 you can see that they nicely covered it up eventually though.

[@Breitiger]

@@Millmannl The customer probably thought it looked shit aswell and had them cover it hahaha.

[@christineingram55]

What an amazing fishpond and the waterfalls make it look like it’s natural. You did a great job cleaning it out too and fixing the waterfalls 🥰

[@derekdrezek-kg4vx]

I think we need more a more powerful pump or maybe 2 pumps on the main falls. The falls didn't fill up the frame rocks. I will admit that's hard to do. They are massive frame rocks. But the width of the falls just didn't match them. Subsequently the lower falls with that huge weir stone didn't get fully filled with water either. The pond came out nice. The little canal looked good too. The falls there, coming from the 2500 biofalls looked good. Very rustic natural looking landscape. Lotsa shade and moss. I like it. Just wish we had more flow over the main falls.

[@KittyMax97]

They literally say it’s not filled yet, watch to the end

[@tracylowe9570]

Stunning!

[@Premierpond]

Thank you Tracy!

[@karenpankowski1941]

Truly a magnificent project - loved the waterfalls reveal! The clients must be thrilled to enjoy that pond. Great job!

[@hunterjamison247]

but the plastic liner is showing.

[@PondScummer]

you can see at the end showcase that it has been covered up

[@Mikey45013]

Was thinking the same thing

[@user-tb3jy7rx7n]

​@@PondScummernah you can clearly see the liner when the waterfall is turned on. Quit the crack with POTUS

[@PondScummer]

@@user-tb3jy7rx7n Dude It's the end showcase 19:41, not when they turn it on first. Are you the one hitting the fucking pipe?

[@KittyMax97]

I love that you guys take into account enrichment for the fish like the fish tunnels. To you guys it’s not just for looking good but being a good fish home and I love to see it.

[@devin_the_dude_3]

Awesome. One day, I will have a pond like this.

[@therealjacobsimpson]

If people just waited to see the end, they’d see the liner was covered and they did a great job at hiding it. Keep it up fellas!

[@Premierpond]

THANK YOU! Appreciate you watching till the end and taking the time to say this!

[@applygenius_]

Premier lifestyle is always a good vibe 💯

[@Premierpond]

Thank you Apply Genius, very cool!

[@alikar5516]

It's absolutely beautiful 🤩... Everything turned out looking so picturesque 😍, the entire crew is really skilled and true masters of their craft. 👍🏼👏🏼

[@terryelizabeth2841]

Beautiful.

[@karenpankowski1941]

Wow, so great to see Premier to the rescue!

[@prettypothos4me290]

Beautiful!

[@michaelshanahan9578]

My wife and I have a wooded lot next to liberty reservoir that has a spring feed pond that we plan on building a house on.... This is exactly what I pictured for the back yard !!!! The best part is that you guys are local for us....

[@Premierpond]

Absolutely reach out on PremierPond.com, note the no "s" on "ponds"! We LOVE that area!

[@Jacy320]

Beautiful pond. I was glad to see in the pictures from a week later, that you went back and covered up all that liner that was left showing in the waterfall at the end of the build at abt.18:10.

[@Nameless-lk8ld]

If I was a bear I’d be thankful for the fishing 😅

[@j.t.1215]

❤Wow!!!❤ Fish must be so happy!!!

[@isbakernation]

perfect!

[@Timetocookit]

Amazing. Simply Amazing.

[@lisagilbert8472]

Wow!! Gorgeous!! ❤❤

[@seokxmysupertuna]

Ey this was sick! I watched a few of your videos on tiktok but I prefer watching the longer ones 😅😅😊 much love for each of you❤❤

[@Premierpond]

Thank you kindly!

[@thecassandraeffectvsperilo6754]

Wow!! Absolutely gorgeous! I've been tinkering with the idea of creating a Koi pond with a small waterfall in my backyard, you guys stirred that thought up while watching this 💜 I'm ToTALLY jealous of your customer's set up too!

[@shannonmartinez8036]

Beautiful! Amazing jobs guys!!

[@Ragecon87]

Damn no night shot

[@ReclaimerTyphoon]

Yeah, needs some sick lighting, too.

[@scotty7132]

Absolutely incredible work. I would love to have waterfalls in my backyard.

[@KC-603]

Your hard work payed off! Great job!

👌🏽 Nice!!

Here from Facebook as the video was cut off.

[@AlchemyRefinmentTranscendence]

this is highkey epic

[@virii.win32]

You guys are great :D

[@j3rocketeer]

Nice work guys

[@RKisBae]

Eric edit was sick.

[@timframpton1965]

Thats nice lights behind the water falls would be beautiful that one week later shot really shows how beautiful it is😊

[@jascharl]

These koi were on ‘Pimp My Pond’

[@rogerpope]

Amazing video! And that has nothing (ok maybe just a little bit) to do with me being in it

[@captainbananapants7211]

Was that a pool next to it ????

[@skbid1]

Looks awesome, only thing I saw that needs a little work is the pipe showing in the canal by Prime's waterfall. Great job guys lots of hard work on this project.

[@IsobelClarke]

I’m only here bc I saw ur TikTok 😂❤ anyway good job

[@rockysgarage]

Amazing work and outcome. I guess the option to redo entirely was not in the cards. However, this was an amazing effort within what the customer wanted. I watched it a few times to see most of the 'clean' ups of obvious work flaws that changed once water was at the level needed and had a chance to clear up. My only concern was if the liner was intact from the years of abuse. This was far better than whoever initially put together with far less Hookey mumbo jumbo...let's just say I felt a lot of satisfaction watching useless pipes and hoses getting cut up. Great job to the Premier Pond A-Team!!

[@smedlings]

Slick Rick working quick while Hollywood’s all good, Kuzbot making sure Muscles gets those zoomed-in shots

[@nicholastine9231]

Filling that canal a bit to make it more shallow, adding some bowling ball sized boulders here and there along it to create some eddys and turbulence would have created a really nice mountain stream effect to it instead of a deep slow moving canal imo.

[@Userxyz-z2d]

Wow I just bot 25AC in NC with a creek in the back. am putting a hse on the property. Id love something like this up by the house. Its beautiful!!😍

[@jamesh4966]

First heavy rainfall, all the dirt and leaves coming off the hill will be going into the return stream. Should build a diverter ditch or drainage pipe, above the side stream and little waterfall to channel the water away from the pond.

[@MaNNeRz91]

I'd love a job like that

[@Darcalpha]

Add a link to your channel in the description of your shorts. Just a thought 😉 love the content!

[@colejurgens]

Need the night shots!

[@mrtings]

SQUAD

[@therealjacobsimpson]

Shout out the DMV

[@FancyRPGCanada]

How does this only have 22k views!!?? This is a fantastic video and really well done. My only criticism is to use still shots as much as possible and to not use “special” transitions. If there is movement on screen you don’t need the camera to move, it’s too much and can look tacky. Also, make sure the narrative is clear, where you go from beginning to end, each video is like a mini documentary. Otherwise great work, I’m looking forward to more videos!

[@jmklamm]

Such a cool project, major improvement. I wish you hid the liner more on that top waterfall and could have just used those existing frame rocks. Seems a bit unnatural to have that area lined with additional rocks? Maybe just me?

[@toastedorange9106]

I wanna come work for yall. As a grunt if ive gotta, just wish it wasnt states away from me😅 oregon aint got ANYTHING

[@AndersEinarHilden]

Is there a long-form video of the original cleaning?

[@luudantu7211]

6:29 What are the two attachments on the bottom of the skimmers? Are they glued to the skimmers to provide stability?

[@MacLeodddd]

What did it look like with finishing touches? I am so curious!

[@falcolf]

The plastic liner that sticks out from the waterfall outflows vastly takes away from the serene escapism potential of this build as it looks like someone shoved some random garbage there! If I was the client I'd be begging you to fix that, because otherwise it would bother me forever.

[@LD__]

✅

[@startingQB]

Do you have video of the first time you were there?

[@Mystic_Light]

But fish eat leaves from the water..... Beautiful job guys.

[@redaaouimry2860]

that has to got a lot of filtrations, refilling tons of waters every month

[@LoLsnl]

the people saying stuff about the liner are just haters who see one thing wrong and immediately go to the comments to rant instead of watching the video all the way through. If you want to see the finished waterfall pause your video at 19:59 they came back and covered it. The only reason they probably didn't cover it when they first turned on the waterfall was just to see if it works with no leaks. stop being spiteful and appreciate what these people did to save this persons pond.

[@karlney8769]

Where is this pond - looks like it could support trout

[@rogerpope]

Northern Virginia

[@karlney8769]

Yep I would sold all the coy and gold fish and put trout in it. Looks great and awesome job. I have a very small pond in my back yard. I used flag stone and river rock. Has a small fall that feeds into an old watering trough which I cut to all water to flow out into a very small stream down into the main pond which is L5xW5xD3.5 feet. Live in Albuquerque NM so it is like an oasis. Too bad can’t send pic in KZbin.

[@toolrules]

let's see the flow in the canal?

[@thefashiongoddesschannel8099]

Seems to be a nice project. Consider leaving the music out. It's distracting from the work and what you're trying to say, which should be important. Hearing the water instead, could sound nice as you pan the video slowly.

[@chasetonga]

Why put music over the waterfall sounds at the end?

[@Diet_Mini]

What the heck are these comments. This video was awesome and the end result was amazing! Screw the nitpickers down here.

[@beckyboman1641]

Great job guys!! It looks much neater now, and it will wild up again soon in those Virginia woods lol I would be in heaven to have even half that pond with those big rocks in my Kentucky garden. For all the people giving negativity on the little tiny piece of liner they see, it will disappear with moss and plants over time, and I don’t even notice it now really. I prefer all my cleaning units, lights, and power supply easily accessible, hide it all with plants. Easy.

[@Bitsy_Ratchel_D]

Let me join U 😶

[@clinthowe7629]

do we get to guess how much this costs? 😂. $15k? maybe $20k, let me know if im hot or cold.

[@AndrewTa530]

McLean VA. 50k min

[@techhead-bedhead]

i definitely wouldn't call your company seeing how much foam is visible alongside all the liners sheeeeesh

[@Praecantetia]

I question your choice of music here 12:08 this is something you'd hear in a videogame's dark spooky cave on the floor to the boss fight room. It's too tense for what you're showing. You could use this kind of music for buildup on tension moments before you turn on the waterfall, but here it's very misplaced

[@nopenope843]

Looks great, well done on the work but the finishes and attention to detail is just not there, pipes exposed, skimmers in an obvious place, the over use of the foam is okay if you hide it, but it’s sticking out.. the work involved here is massive, but a little more care and planning and you wouldn’t have the obvious mistakes in your face.

[@lexiebrown2550]

If you pay attention at the follow up none of those issues you pointed out are there. Everything is covered. It’s real easy to sit behind a screen and criticize with zero experience

[@Premierpond]

Well said Lexie! Thank you! 🤘🔥

[@graememckay9972]

The liner on the 2nd level of the big fall looks terrible. No idea how it could be covered now.

[@314rhat]

I disagree, but I assume you can send me a link to some of your work that's better. Looking forward to seeing it!

[@spencerkleiman5035]

​@314rhat thats a bad argument. Andy reid cant throw a football for crap, but he will turn around and coach multiple teams to a superbowl, on how to do things he physically cant do. So tell us again how a person cant understand or know something without doing it.

[@Danandria]

Is it just me or is there high exposure/contrast in the video?

[@christianheichel]

Mmm purple meatballs 13:12

[@minteherms6784]

Guy's that big waterfall is nice. But you leave that rubber visible like this or what? That looks horrible 🤷 at least cut the rubber of a little bit more or mask it put rocks on it or something. Even with the water running you still see that massive piece of rubber. Not good. But the rest looks really really great 👍

[@jamiedecker3234]

Watch to the end, the week later shots show that they go back in and fill in all the unsightly gaps and it looks very nice. I was skeptical at first but they do finish it.

[@jsmithnevinsky]

Tell the editor to get off the psychedelic wagon. it's visually trash. looks like a cheap 2nd hand car lot commercial.

[@chuckcrizer]

Very poorly balanced music.

[@dillonwinkelman1609]

[@EclipseOverSalem]

They focus on making ponds look good, cut them some slack on video editing. It's not their main job

[@lucionjay5376]

You ruined that big waterfall u can still see the liner looks wack

Watch till the end Lucion :)
