What a PROPER POND should look like.

[@qr2717]

I rather have this over a pool. Never have I imagined a huge pond/mini beach (with fish in it) to be in someone’s backyard. This is a dream come true and it is brilliant to have this type of idea. This creation got me so Excited

[@OfftoShambala]

When I was a kid I wanted a pool with sea lions 🦭 … in some parts of the world, one can keep otters as pets… so my new dream is to have a creek and swimming hole with otters 🦦 in them. I just found that place. Can’t imagine I’ll be able to get a hold of some otters… but, when I put it all together, it will be otter ready. lol

[@Jimjolnir]

I have been loving watching all the Australian ponds. As an Aussie, it’s great to see the aquascape system in my own country as proof it really works and looks great.

[@OfftoShambala]

For a naturalistic pond build… this is the standard. Very well done.

[@jacobbelfield9835]

Love the native plants with boulders! The underwater shelfing is beautiful. Great job and great customer.

Absolutely stunning water feature, so naturalistic! Thank you for everything you do for Brian B. and Kenan. ❤

What a great rec pond for the family.

Wow. Can't believe how perfect this pond looks. Perhaps a few more plants on the shelves. Brilliant.

My grandpa had a pond dug off a marshy creek on his rural new England property. The CCC dug it for him for fire protection, so it cost him nothing. Since it was already in the watershed it was maintenance free. Rope swing for the win!

[@airgin3000]

What do you mean ccc dug it for him for fire protection? why is a pond dug for fire protection...? I don't get that.

[@boldgirl1172]

This is the best and my favourite pond I have seen so far. I wish to have one

[@38fireball]

I sure enjoy watching all videos of pond building. If I was a little younger I would have my present koi pond enlarged. I love ponds and fish

[@niaholder9168]

love the idea of a pond you can swim in instead of a regular pool ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hismercysavessallysue5927]

This is incredible! I'm encouraging my son into the Aquascape line of work....in the hopes he uses my yard as a testing ground of his aquascape skillz....lol I wish I had the money for the aquascape lifestyle! Absolutely amazing!

[@GuyCruls]

beautifully designed and implemented - the fact that the slop continues after the pond and you are at an elevated spot, with a panorama makes this quite unique. lovely family.

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

That is without doubt One of the coolest Recreational Ponds ever. I completely agree with you, Greg. That is better than a basic swimming pool. Out of appreciation to you for taking the time to produce this content to share yet another incredible Pond, I have just given this video the 51st like to say thankyou very much for sharing. 👍🏼🙂👍🏼❤️

Amazing!

[@cjbarlow61]

We're going to build one of these one day but we live in florida and don't have any free boulders. I imagine that many boulders would cost as much as an in-ground swimming pool

Do u add anything to the water to get rid of bugs or mites rash causing mites or worms?

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

This is a very nice space and being able to swim in it is amazing. We do have an old stock pond on our property that we would LOVE to upgrade into an area that looks like this and is free to swim in safely....who knows...maybe one day after were done building homes.

[@BBG-512]

Hey Greg. Can you make a video about what to do when it gets hot outside. I live in Central Texas and it has been 105 for months and want to know what to do with Koi and algae.

[@GregJoshuaW]

You need to add depth (I know "too late for that!") but once you get 15 feet down the thermal mass of the Earth really cold the water efficiently. Barring that, you could try to retrofit misters in the pond. This will increase water evaporation so you'll need to watch your water levels, but it should cool the water several degrees. The only other affordable option is to add shade. I feel you, summer is unbearable in this heat.

[@GregJoshuaW]

"cools the water

[@BBG-512]

@@GregJoshuaW Thanks for the advice. Its only about 5 feet now with a liner so that would almost be a complete redo. We have two chests with ice (80 pounds a day) just slow draining it into the pond now, but the temp will not get down past 85 during the day. We even put dye in the pond because I heard that works. Looks like I will have a big project before next summer!! I'll ad some more shade today. thanks again.

[@GregJoshuaW]

You could experiment with an idea. If you have access to land nwar your pond (and the ability to dig deep) you could make a thermal radiator. The idea is you bury water line deep in the earth and run it similar to a radiator. Some use a concentric circle layout, others do the typical up / down run. The point is to create enough surface area with the warm water running through the pipe contacting the earth near it for the Earth to absorb the heat from the pipe radiator configuration, the pump just needs to push water through it from the pond back into your falls or stream which then flows back into your pond. The deeper you go, the cooler the Earth gets. IDK, you can't redo the whole pond but this idea might save you all that ice work. I hope it works out for you, hot areas are very challenging. If it does, please report back how effective it is!

[@candysworld4u]

Why aren’t there more contractors in south TX? Is the climate not conducive to keeping natural ponds? I spoke to someone that told me that these rec ponds just don’t work here, but I would love to find out if that’s a true issue. It is quite hot here, 9 months out of the year. And algae is an issue I’m sure. I have wanted one for so long.

[@scbane]

Has to do more with whether the type of plants required to filter the water, keep down algae and such can be grown in your climate. I would think they could be

I would worry about snakes. I live in North Texas and I have three acres of water in my back yard. We boat and paddle boat in it. No swimming in the pond because of copperhead, rattlesnakes, water moccasin. The turtles will take a two off and the gar look like crocodile! 😬
