You've given me hope again - the first 32 "DIY budget backyard stream" vids I saw all turned out to be "landscaping team + 32 years salary streams"! And yours even looks better than most of them! Thx. 🙋🏻‍♂️

@BackyardWaterGarden Год назад

You can do it!

@sarahbaldwin9112 Год назад

I love that it says 'one year later' and it actually was 😂 Looks awesome!

@BackyardWaterGarden Год назад

Thanks, yeah, it was a long drawn out project that shouldn't have taken that long. Thanks for watching!

@jonm2416 Год назад

Love it! I'm about to make one myself, thanks for the insight👍

@BackyardWaterGarden Год назад

Have fun and good luck!

@ES-iq2wb Год назад

Lol, I love watching other people work! 😂

@BackyardWaterGarden Год назад

Glad to have entertained you! 😆

@Walker983 14 дней назад

Really quite a nice project, but I believe that the stream should be 2.5 x longer, for effective Scale within the Landscape (yard). The Trees really add a lot.

Count your blessings that your wife is willing to do the hard work.

@BackyardWaterGarden Год назад

Yes, I am very lucky. She can't help it, she is very impatient!

Hey what’s the brand and power of the pump for water please what should the the power to pull the water up again please

@drewzshorts7471 11 месяцев назад

Great job. I've started my own stream now 👍🏼

@Lou_Mansfield 5 месяцев назад

Do birds and wildlife use the stream? I want to help my local birds

@BackyardWaterGarden 5 месяцев назад

Yes, they are drawn to moving water. They show up to bathe in the pond waterfall, and in the rock fountain.

@ginafontanilla1112 Месяц назад

How strong is the pump that you used on this project? Also, please tell me about the liner that you used.

@cinamoncina947 7 месяцев назад

Wow it’s looks natural 👍🏻

Nice work. A good down to earth video and water feature. Good to have a helper. I'm redoing my waterfall feature for the tenth time in that many years. Always have a problem losing more water than is acceptable. I have a couple helpers (if I can separate them from the computer games). My 15 year old grandson and his friend, both bigger and stronger than I am. Not because I'm old (I am but won't admit it) but because they will help save my back.

@bethmurrow5626 Год назад

Its a great idea and i would love to do one myself but to get rocks is expensive. I don't have place where i could collect them.

@BackyardWaterGarden Год назад

Yes, finding rocks is the hardest and most expensive part if you have to purchase them. You could take a ride out in the country when the farmers are tilling up their fields. Sometimes if your lucky they will let you have their rock piles. That's where I got most of my rocks.

@michaeljoncour4903 Год назад

you can use coloured cement to make fake rock, with a bit of practice you can make it look fairly convincing, you can use a combination of concrete and rocks.

@michaeljoncour4903 Год назад

whats going on, this comment doesn't belong with this video.

@fan1.028 11 месяцев назад

Buying rocks and boulders in bulk is much cheaper than buying by the bag. A lot of river rock is under .10 (ten cents) a pound

@athruf4931 5 месяцев назад

Love this. I want to do something similar in front house going to a koi pond of to the side it will start by porch as a waterfall thwn kind of s curve before going around to corner section Also plan to.make it mini rc crawler friendly:p

I need a nap. Kudos for seeing it through to the end. You had a vision and it happened. Cheers

@cassandrab6458 3 месяца назад

What pump are you using?

@BackyardWaterGarden 3 месяца назад

it's a variable speed pump, with a max flow rate of about 3000 GPH

@AitanaRamirez-b5e 4 месяца назад

You could tie a mesh bag in that pump

@aTEAwitch 12 дней назад

Or put the whole bucket in a mesh bag.

@mr.nuna916 4 месяца назад

Instead of that pipe/bucket combo, use an old plastic milk crate. Just turn it upside down and boom, you got a housing for your pump. You can run your piping through it and put rocks on top and it won't bother your pump set up one bit. And regardless of any of that, your end product turned out spectacular!

@BackyardWaterGarden 3 месяца назад

That's great advice. I will do that the next time I do a clean out on the stream. Thanks!

@XxBec3509 4 месяца назад

What was the size of your liner and where did you get it?

@BackyardWaterGarden 3 месяца назад

The liner is 4' x 24'. It was a piece left over from a larger pond installation. It would have been thrown out if i didn't take it.

@leroym9687 Год назад

You left a tub in the woods? Isn’t there a landfill site in your region? Properly Disposing of unwatered anything is the responsible thing to do. Do the creatures in the woods dump their trash in your backyard? What is wrong with people? What a poor and lazy example to set for your children!
