LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the combinations of nature and modern. This will answer many people's wish for a pool with natural water filtration. European appeal!! Much appreciation 💛

[@adr3000]

this looks like what I would build in the middle of a secret garden. absolutely mind blowing, as always incredibly inspired. much love.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

A water feature to spark the imagination of contractors and homeowners alike. The natural flow it has to move people through the feature like a pond in it’s self is sublime.

[@jonmoseley8434]

Window is my favorite. Can't describe any part of it without overusing the word "amazing" and "unbelievable". Another great job!

[@quiltingfanatic1459]

It’s amazing how you knock out natural landscapes out of the park but you really excel at the modern ones too! BEAUTIFUL!

[@johnstup4479]

This has the perfect balance of modern and natural. The random placement of boulders is just enough breakup the super clean modern lines and corners. The combination of block, stone, and wood is just right. Kudos to you all in bringing Brian's plan to life! Well done team. Well done!

[@marks1324]

This is a beautiful blend of natural elements with modern components. It draws you in to interact with it. One of my favorite projects your team has done.

[@dkosawa]

There's so much eye candy there it's hard to say what is my favorite. Great job to everyone that worked on it!!

[@petereinhardt]

Never been huge on the modern pond look. But wow you really hit it out of the park with this design. Love everything about it

[@robertsowinski164]

I love the realistic natural looking ponds but I've got to say this whole build is just absolutely gorgeous! Nice job guys what artists

[@michellehunter818]

Finally! So much of this concept has been stuck as a dream in my head. Love to see this evolution of design!

[@danielm6870]

Such a magnificent change to the aqua gardens. The teamwork that made the dream work was incredible to watch. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!

[@douglasallen3]

This is incredible. Absolutely innovative and brilliant. Thank you YT for serving your video up to me!

[@jillr759]

Oh geeze I have envy for the owners! This is top notch display of nature, water, plants, comfort, birds, critters etc. I’m going to wade in it, plant myself on those lounge chairs with. Mach’s latte or espresso martini. My new book has arrived and I’m ready. When can I be there? Fabulous! To die for space. Love it!

[@catherineengle4196]

Shut the front door! What? Absolutely stunning. I knew it would be epic. The blend of the formal with natural looks stunning y'all. For a person like myself who doesn't lean toward formal, the big huge boulders really tone down the formality of it. It has a zen vibe and it's amazing! Y'all worked your booties off for sure. God bless y'all

[@JennyLee57]

Wow, wow, WOW! That is stunning!!! Favorite parts...I love how interactive it is. The wetland will be gorgeous once it fills in! The counter with the koi window...drooling! The black with grey is so striking with the plants. I can't wait to see the fish swimming around. You guys did an incredible job! I hope you get to chill out there for at least a little bit. 😍😍😍

[@mattgulisano7428]

Brian..A pond genius. Great job...great innovation. Years ahead of everyone.

[@tomw5824]

Epic is the only word for it. Thank you (and team) for making/raising the bar.

[@rohoalbano7846]

BEST!!pond construct EVER!!!👏👏👏👏 Great Job TEAM AQUASCAPE, watching from the Philippines.

[@antitheist9976]

Wow, cannot pick a favourite part, the whole thing is just outstanding. Very very skilled folk and visionaries in designs come to life ❤❤❤

[@marjoriesharick5857]

OMG!! How gorgeous!!! My favorite part is your excitement at the end of this video!! Job well done guys!! I LOVE YOUR JOB!!!

[@SimSpark1]

That's a true window of opport-unity for you guys...it looks magnificant

[@laquerisma]

You've combined a very swimmable pool with the added touch of a pond. I love the many perspectives and the overall integration of all the elements. It's an entertainment centre.

[@bmit04jessesue72]

Whew! That was a journey! But so well worth the wait. I think my favourite place would be to sit in those chairs, right inside the water. The view from those chairs would be amazing as I believe you can see pretty much everything from there, except maybe the sunken living space. For sure, pondemonium will be a different experience for the contractors from now on. I'm sure, all the past contractors will want to come back just to see this finished feature. Well done all who were involved!

[@alysonsneyd3401]

Congrats to all who took part creating this beautiful pond. So Zen. I like the way its planted. Greg is lucky to have such a great group of people who do such amazing work. Admirable project management! 👍🏻😃 Thanks for sharing. When can I move into Aqualand? HaHa!

[@lizard9437]

incredible detail guys. Perfection. good to see a crew take pride in what you do 👌

[@CoreyBain1718]

Yeah that's the nicest backyard I've ever seen. Cedar caps on block walls is something I've never seen before and it looks so good! I own a small Landscape construction company and strive to be able to do jobs like this where every aspect of Landscaping is incorporated. This content is incredibly inspiring !

[@marymitchell4025]

I absolutely love the finished look. It would look so perfect in my backyard. Maybe one day especially if I win the lottery. Can wait to see it full of fish.

[@draselee6131]

Wow, wow, wow! It’s just breathtaking! Congrats on this project. It’s stunning!

[@joannagarcia1056]

You guys are the God of water features!!! Unbelievable creativity!

[@gsxgrl]

Thanks for sharing this adventure! Of course the window is going to be the best, but those boulders!!!! I'm looking forward to the tour and the lights and landscape...oh and the KOI!! THANKS BRIAN!

[@donidaniello21]

Wonderful change of scenary... i would love to put pillow infront of that glass and see the koi, turtle or maybe greg popping up at the glass 🤣. Brilliant job guys, thanks for showing this

[@kentdowling6298]

Another collaboration knocked out the park ! 💪🏼 Everything is spot on 👍🏼 Everyone should be super proud of this transformation! Great work guys and gals

[@surferdude-ll2qu]

Love it.....off the charts.....the future of aquascaping .....the best is the versatility the many many different ways to enjoy the area is my favorite. 👍🏻

[@amyhelen3598]

Y'all have knocked it outta the park.... AWESOME job team, it's beautiful and very unique, great design Brian...

[@jb-2714]

Absolutely awesome! I can see that Joey Genovese totally inspired this build. I love all the different areas & how you incorporated large boulders in with the formal walls. Plus the landscaping just sets it off! Great work!

[@steaditex]

Just an awesome, awesome creation! I too love the look of the modern structure that seems to be built around pre-existing boulders! Can't wait to see it fully established with fish and the plants more mature! And again, so hope I get to see it in person someday!

[@mariacollins]

That is pond/pool goals if, I ever win the lottery!! This is just the right mix of contemporary and natural with those huge boulders. Haven't seen anything like that here in the UK.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@medranoabel77]

❤ The crew sure got down,so creatived

[@mattrapplean448]

Words can't describe the new look. Love it

[@r2aphyd2mass20]

amazing job, the wetlands portion is too cool

[@josh.kaptur]

Your groundwater mitigation is honestly what impressed me most… plus if I’m not wrong it reduces the risk of major demo from a small liner puncture

[@yokoayuha5737]

Congratulations 🎉 LOVE this design mixing natural and artificial components. I think that is my favorite style of landscaping. I wish I could at least see it on site! BTW, that frog peeking behind the glass window was amazing 😂

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Hard work is BLISS!!!

[@deborahcorreale352]

I loved the whole concept of this, a sitting area in the water and an area to swim and how it draws you around the whole design a nice easy inviting flow!!!! This would turn any backyard into your own home vacation spot!!!

[@UtukushiDAE2007]

Amazing build. Im in awe of the different elements you have included in the design.

[@Shelto88]

I thouroughly enjoy all your projects but this has been my favorite project to watch. Beautiful and clean style. You knocked it out of the park on this one.

[@malawimaya]

Wow...very contemporary looking. Such an awesome build❤❤❤

[@carolashmore669]

Such a striking pond and recreation area! I just love how your team is so creative!

[@lindabuck2777]

Wow you guys are really something special! Now, I abhor modern but I’d Love to hang here, it IS beautiful and spectacular, and I’m with everyone loving that window! You always perfect it all! 🙏🏻❤️

[@MrSamurai904]

I need a mini version of this in my backyard, koi window and all. I love the formal look with the huge boulders. Hopefully you can explain how the sunken patio will drain water from rain or melted snow in the walkthrough or at some point in time.. it was a big question for me when thee artist of the years were doing the sand studio builds over the winter.. like sweet concept but how will it stay dry after a good rain like for us in Florida? Love the builds and the content and the explaining of a lot it but so many questions i have. Thank you again to you and your team.

[@Franklin_82]

This is an absolutely amazing build! Great job!

[@melissanewingham6974]

Absolutely stunning this is in my top 3 builds love the window ever since you did Blake' s.

[@edbeaulieu5916]

An Incredible Project!!! I can’t wait to release the Fish!!! Sturgeon???

[@robertomartinez5582]

I keep learning and learning and learning, thank you for all of this.

[@colleenheitzler8670]

What a vision, what a team!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@outdoormary]

It’s really gorgeous! The only thing I would change is removing that huge boulder from the swim area, I’d hate to have to dodge that while trying to swim, and I’d worry about someone jumping into it and getting injured. Other than that, perfect!

[@sasaeteurn]

No, Thank you, Thank you for taking us along all these builds; and especially this one! The whole project is my favorite. If I really, really, really had to choose, I’d say the koi window. How much would a project like this cost? I need to start budgeting for one. ❤️ Congratulations 🍾🎊🎈 to everyone!!

[@porkchopexpress6969]

Has to be at least 100 bucks

[@Navs126]

@@porkchopexpress6969 😂

[@mistyrichardson6041]

I love Team Aquascape way to go formal!!!!

[@DreamCatcherDD]

Beautiful 😍 I love the cedar!

[@burtmacklin6443]

I can't say enough good things about this build. I don't think there is a bad view. I know if this was in my backyard there would be a 45lb rack weight living in the bottom with a time clock on the window for toning my lung capacity, I'd be in it everyday. It is such a calm and peaceful place it would make the whole experience that much better.

[@amythompson7700]

We chose a charcoal colorway granite with leather finish on my husband's new bathroom countertop, also. We love it, because it's beautiful, a little different, and best of all it doesn't show imperfections at ALL!

[@TheDisneylover23]

That turned out amazing!!!! I’ve always wanted a natural pond.

[@hughmartinmcalary7702]

Amazing what you guys can put together from a blank canvas and a drawing. Huge teamwork effort 💪👊 well done everyone. Like yourself Brian I'm not a huge fan of contemporary but when done right, what's not to like. Beautiful and great mix of areas!! All I need it to win the lottery and I'll give you a call! 🤪

[@1603shadow]

Wow 😍 this is what yard dreams are made of.

[@mickseverus7077]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! Very great Job 🥳👍🥳👍🥳👍🥳

[@GrimDan1789]

This is the best thing you've ever created. OMG

[@heidipustelniak652]

Turned out wonderful! Love the Viewing window!

[@djswaterscapesandlandscaping]

Looked even better in person great job all

[@almostreal1170]

You do amazing work!! Wish I could work for you. I suggest doing a video covering your favorite projects!!! I know we could all appreciate that👌🙏

[@syamsuri_alii]

Amazing 👍👍👍

[@MsSaudm]

This is just SPECTACULAR Well done Well done

[@anthonygriffith6178]

Probly the coolest pond I’ve ever seen

[@bengoulart4121]

Nice work boys! I can't wait to see it in person tomorrow...when the white doves are released

[@donnasaunders2915]

Beautiful! What more needs to be said!

[@drewadams8738]

Is there anyway to put like the price of the projects in the videos? I understand the owners may not want it but just gives an idea to what's possible and what is a dream lol

[@DaniSukmana]

what a beautiful and comfortable pool... greetings from Indonesia..

[@WaitWhat99]

Epic koi pond. Would LOVE to see it filled with fish ❤️

[@Startupsandsushi]

I’m obsessed!!! Amazing designs 🎉 🌱 💦 !!!!

[@brunoleao9371]

Stunning job guys. Keep up with the great work.

[@rock_ape_crypto_show]

Truly epic, beautiful design and finishes! The countertop edging/cedar really finishes that off, I was very curious how that would go!

[@antomano5623]

It is one of a kind, unique for sure.

[@Whips_World]

It smaller than I thought it was gonna be but it's still awesome. I'm actually shocked that this hasn't been more of a thing considering the majority of your clientele. I know I'm painting with a broad brush, but most of the wealthy people I've been exposed to through personal contact or through TV/The Internet would love that formal look! I'm willing to bet once this style of "Pond" gets more exposure, it will make up a huge part of your day to day business. Great job at thinking outside the traditional Aquascape Box! 👏

[@vvdd903]

best one yet. was getting tire the look of all the rocks.

[@adamspivey]

Impressive build!

[@brianparker460]

Love it, love it, love it!!! Brian one thing I would change is, I would have put a brick patio in instead of the green carpet??

[@antonioreis7909]

Great idea 2 combine 2 worlds in 1 ..it works you sold me 👍🇹🇹

[@jc2604]

These guys loved cutting up!!

[@tahirahparacha9392]

Absolutely stunning!!!

[@jennahcollings1174]

The chairs sat in the shallow water... really simple, but I really like it..

[@maxgeorge8746]

Love it.

The bears and racoons are gonna love that

[@chriss3861]

Amazing! Great job!

[@staceyculver4892]

Goodness this is stunning!

[@stephaniekurtz7056]

How much does something like this cost ?

[@wolflokie4167]

This definitely put them over 200k mark, honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a half a million dollar project bc there was also a “front” done for another episode.
