You'd never expect to find this koi pond and turtle retreat in a Chicago backyard! Not only that, but the homeowner has quite the collection of discus fish too!

I can't help but to repeat the comment from Devin Bailey. Absolute dream! Who needs Malibu?!

@devinbailey5722 5 лет назад

Wow! Amazing pond! That backyard, is literally my dream! Fish, chickens, and ducks. With an amazing water feature! Just amazing!

@antomano5623 2 года назад

This is one of the few ponds that just looks so natural. It doesn't have those huge rocks all over, making it look nasty and unnatural. Awesome job.

What a beautiful area. It has a little bit of everything. I can see her coming out here after a day of work, kicking off her shoes and just enjoying all the little turtles, ducks, koi. Wonderful job guys.

As a person who lives in the city of Chicago, this blows my mind. The fact that they can successfully winterize this thing is a feat unto itself. It gets so cold that your house will crack in half, but girlfriend here can manage to keep a small lake alive. Well done!

@malinoisnation9392 3 года назад

Not that hard. Drains the pipes. Let the pond freeze over and or heat it

@kipplockwood1368 2 года назад

Thanks for letting this guy really go down into the thought and process of building this pond in a city. I have a tiny single lot in a downtown area and I’m trying to figure out how to put one of these ponds in. He worked out a lot of ideas for me!

@josephinechristopher8845 5 лет назад

Wow Greg, the video came out great! This is Josie at Chicago Discus. We are so grateful to Aquascape for designing and building our beautiful pond. If anyone is in the area and wants to see our pond, visit our website www.chicagodiscus.com. All our contact info is there, and you can visit our pond, our menagerie with ducks, turtles, chickens, koi, and of course our discus. Bring the kids, they would love it!

What a beautiful water feature! I saw the episode where you were trying to gain access and it was pretty difficult! I like how the flat Stones incorporate the structural walls! With a water flowing out from underneath them it's absolutely gorgeous! Another Innovative way to use your wonderful products! Truly the artists!

I love that you guys were able to do so much in the yard. Love the pond and all the animals living inside and outside the pond. Would love to own one but can't do it right now. But, my daughter and I did ceramics past Saturday and I have a turtle I painted and will be living with me at work on my desk. LOL. Gotta make the most of your dreams even when they aren't exactly how you would like it. :-) Great jobs, Guys!! Love your job, Greg!

It’s a beauty do you do plunge ponds ?

@davidrickards 5 лет назад

Mr. Greg Wittstock , I was trying to pump sludge from my cement pond bottom today and couldn't get the pump primed. The pond was half full of water and I left for about 2 hrs. When I got back all the water was gone and my fish died (9). Did the water go back thru the waterline back to my larger pond? This is like a syphon phenomenon. A friend said perhaps. My pump to the cement pond and stream I had cut off for the cleaning.Thank you for your thoughts on this.

@brianroyer8375 5 лет назад

Love these videos! You guys should put up a link that is interactive on how to build our own pond. This way we could use a photo of our home as a start point and begin by using different rock sizes, stacked urns, bio-falls, plants and trees etc. We could design our own DIY ponds for our yards using approved Aquascape products. At this point we would have a starting point of wear to ad different types of flowers & fish. Your guys could then add to our ideas, fine tune them and come to a rough cost in order to get things started. If I missed it an you already have this in place call me a dumbass and send me a link. Thanx Greg and keep up the great work.

@onedazinn998 5 лет назад

Out of curiosity, what will she have to do with the fish and turtles in the winter

@daphne10120 3 года назад

Koi are fine to stay in the pond during the winter, depending on how cold it gets, she’ll likely bring the turtles inside.

Amazing pond. I’m in the process of putting in our second pond. If the need for a third comes into play I’m seeking help. Ballpark figure - how much to install a pond this side?

@shawn_baker 5 лет назад

Greg that is awesome! I love that is right in Chicago! I've always wanted to incorporate an Aquascape pond in my yard, but I'm concerned with my region. I live in Traverse City Michigan and the Winters here are brutal! How would you build a pond to with fish and turtles to handle these conditions and survive?

@moavic5087 5 лет назад

Shawn Baker as long as it’s deep enough and there’s plenty of water movement it will not freeze.
