What do you think about the solution for catching the water from the roof leak?

[@JenniJohnson]

Genius fix 👏🏽👍🏽😁

[@EverettDiane]

Enjoying these beautiful interactive dreamscapes is the highlight of our days. I love how you lowered the feature to create a better, more natural appearance and function for their guests. Bigger rocks, bigger reservoir, bigger fish, bigger obstacles, and a much bigger transformation! You guys rock, literally.

[@roseyrose9467]

A Huge improvement compared to what was there before. It was nice to see Greg’s Mini-Me. The feature looks so Natural. I like the way the Team keeps their sense of humor despite the surprises & obstacles. Another great job 👍💚

[@TEAMAquascape]

Thank you so much!🙌

[@lindaleslie5634]

What an amazing transformation! I know the hotel has got to be very pleased and I’m sure the guests that stay there will appreciate the water feature🎉 🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

[@fynnjackson2298]

There is no comparison, this looks so stunning, hard working crew, flawless teamwork, and the edge looks great how Brian and Ed did their magic. Gotta jus ton a side note, man that red leaved tree there is a stunner. Thanks for the video and sharing it online.

[@reyouk3672]

I love everything ❤❤❤you guys have done it’s always turned out the best. great job team🙂👏👏👏

[@daverussell9627]

It was a pleasure both meeting and working with everyone! Jax wanted to thank Greg and Carla for having him over to the house! David & Jenny

[@TEAMAquascape]

Nice meeting you all!❤

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

So much work, so much fun!!!

[@JenniJohnson]

❤Just beautiful! I absolutely love what you all have done with this pond! ❤

[@bbuchanan5235]

This was fun to watch! I have never been to Park City - my in-laws used to have some condos in Midway. Guess next time I go to Utah I’ll have to do a drive-by! I’ve seen that stone used elsewhere in Utah. Finished pond looks amazing, with understated elegance that is befitting the hotel. Also - that red tree is gorgeous!

[@hoaglandscapeinc.7142]

A fun two days with the best of the best!

[@atgcain]

Great addition to a 5* hotel 👏👏

[@kathleencaldwell9005]

So beautiful! Sure miss my home state of Utah! Some day I hope to have one of you're beautiful water features in my own back yard.

[@TEAMAquascape]

[@rishibhargava1135]

I am a Piscean and I simply love water bodies......and your creations are awesome

[@koolski]

This looks great! I love that you took the negative aspect of the water draining from the roof and turned it into a positive. That was a win-win for you and the hotel.

[@TEAMAquascape]

It sure was! Thank you so much🙌

[@Hutch011]

Great job as usual, guys.

[@TEAMAquascape]

Thanks! We ❤️ our job!

[@keithwebb3203]

What an amazing project! It was a blast. Thank you for having us out to help! Hopefully they agree to having the rest of their features revamped! 😂

[@TEAMAquascape]

Sure was, thanks for the help!!

[@Tranqtri77]

Make sure hope nooooo Herons there . Wonderful pond

[@russellrevels4392]

Really beautiful looking water feature for such a beautiful hotel and area. Great job!! An amazing transformation from what was there!

[@VLCAquascapes]

Great job guys!

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Absolutely beautiful

[@rockysgarage]

Nice rebuild! Worried with the issue of water runoff from the roof thru the pond and contaminates. And wondered if the water flow 'dead zones' facing the driveway will accumulate debris instead of the skimmer. Video footage did not showcase the waterfall and lighting so looking forward to a later revisit especially with winter ice. Great and quick results at destination location! You guys are amazing.

[@TEAMAquascape]

Thank you! The runoff should be no issue with the biological filtration in place, we also have maintenance teams that come in regularly as well. The jets were added along that area so there’s no more dead zones.

[@jb-2714]

From drab to fab! Now this pond does the property justice.

[@Watergardengirl]

My husband and I are currently building our pondless, and the same thing happened to us. Got our aquablox and pump vault perfectly level and in the ground, and began placing a few rocks. Called it a night and woke up to all that work being undone by a crazy rain! The hole filled up, and everything heaved up… all of our hard work the previous day LOST! Learned that lesson the hard way.

[@colleenheitzler8670]

Gorgeous! Great job Team Aquascape!

[@topfan06]

Great work

[@gerardkenny8408]

I just can’t watch you guys anymore,don’t get me wrong your teams are amazing, I’m 57 and retired to Texas from New York, I built and helped build ponds in ny ! Started at probably 10 , long story just can’t afford it these days, I do have some som tiny ones

[@gerardkenny8408]

Sorry just love you guys 🙏

[@aliciariley_barefootgardener]

Now you just need Laura from Garden Answer to come in and plant it ;)

[@TEAMAquascape]

Yes!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@georgepansiol]

now, I see that overflow part.

[@heidipustelniak652]

Looks so much better! Great job! Curious who does the “upkeep” on the water feature?

[@colleenheitzler8670]

❤

[@oreospapa]

What specific changes do you make so that it can run all winter long? Also, for jets that keep ice open in the winter and circulate water in the summer, how do you calculate how many GPH from the pump is needed for each jet?

[@TEAMAquascape]

During the winter if we keep it running then we clean up any debris,add cold water bacteria, and do light maintenance like topping off the pond and preventing the surface from freezing over. With the jets, you can add up to 3 of them to a pump and control it with a ball valve.

[@oreospapa]

@@TEAMAquascape thanks for answering! Is that 3 in addition to a bog or waterfall, or do 3 jets use the whole pump capacity on their own?

[@kimpergerson8384]

Looks amazing! Just wondering how often you all use a cement fabric underlayment in your projects, especially on naturally sloped hill areas. Would this eliminate leaks in the liner and ensure the feature from having to be torn out and redone? What's the longevity aspect of cement fabric vs plain underlayment fabric? Thanks

[@TEAMAquascape]

We use the concrete fabric underlayment in almost all of our larger projects, it is sturdier to help protect the liner from getting damaged, just ensuring more that there won’t be any leaks. It is much more sturdy and lasts longer than just fabric underlayment. The cement fabric also protects the liner from any rodents, aggressive tree roots and stuff like that as well. It’s an added layer of insurance.

[@kimpergerson8384]

Thanks for the clarification and confirmation. A gentleman from Pacific Pond and Waterfall in Martinez, CA advised that the cement underlayment was the best insurance for the longevity of the water feature. Although expensive, I think it'll be worth the initial cost to protect such a large investment. Gearing up to install a 25ft pondless waterfall to maximize and enhance a 10ft slope at the back of our yard.

[@chiccenhawkc]

💯🔥💙👍

[@FlyfisherCO]

Plz show more of the finished product. Less talking is better

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

That’s not this Channel but mine

[@dannywayne311]

@@GregWittstockThePondGuyGregg ignore this guy, as a contractor and landscaper, we enjoy your work but your perspective on the details is educational and picturesque. You do you and ignore anyone else, they probably don’t love their job as much as you do yours I bet 🤘

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

🤷🏻‍♂️ it takes Brian and Ed to come out and whip everybody into shape! The shape turned out really well and interesting considering it was one big rectangular hole to start with. 🤍🩵💙
