What a change. Way more functional than before!

@Helveteshit 7 лет назад

At least the owner was smart enough to throw in duckweed so it didn't become an algae feast

Great job , I want to see more videos coming , I love pond videos , keep up the great job .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@libertybasset5460 7 лет назад

Thanks! Great video! Love the work you do! Amazing... 15k gph via skimmers is un-believable!!!! Perfect amount for that depth and surface area!!!! Most installers would say oh 10k is enough but it's really really not

Amazing pond transformation! Thanks for sharing this awesome video. I will be digging my pond in the Spring. This video confirms the plans I have for my pond (except mine will be 1/4th the size). I was inspired by the rock retaining walls inside the pond backfilled with smaller stones.

+Dave Dreyer Thanks for checking out the vid Dave! Good luck with the pond, send some video!! Mike

Duckweed is such a good barometer of water quality. That green carpet showed just how filthy that water was!

@thePondHunter 6 лет назад

It was a total mess!! Much better now!

@leecalladine 7 лет назад

awesome job. I love how you rock out these ponds. truly amazing. wish more ponds in UK were built like this. bet they can be a big job to clean though.

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Hey Lee, thanks for commenting! I love building this way. The cleaning of these type of ponds does not have to be done very often. When they do it is only a big job, because it is a big pond, otherwise they stay pretty clean!

@paully069 7 лет назад

That pond is Awesome ! Great JOB !

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Hey Paully thanks!

@debrabelton3161 5 лет назад

I really like your work. This pond fits its locations and surroundings, like it was always a part of the property. Great job. I would also do native fish. Koi are beautiful, but native fish can be great too.

@thePondHunter 5 лет назад

Hi Debra! I agree, when designing a pond one of my goals is to have the pond, or any water feature, look like it occurred naturally. Sometimes achieving that is a challenge.

@axelfh6710 7 лет назад

Awesome pond. Especially with the different depths :) Would have loved to see the kois in there Cheers from Germany

Amazing work as always Mike. But the look on your face when describing the fiberglass rocks for the water, OMG PRICELESS!!!

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

+Cazee Ponds Thanks Brad! Ha! those fiberglass rocks are still sitting in my yard waiting to be cut up for the dumpster. Thanks for checking out the vid!

@markt8517 8 лет назад

the back round looked like bad Photoshop it was trippy every time your face or body was on it

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

its caused by some effect youtube uses to "stabilize" videos, but yes, trippy all the same!

@markt8517 7 лет назад

Yes I know I was just comparing good job 👌

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

The customers that this pond was built for eventually added koi and goldfish and lots of plants

@famoslyritch1 7 лет назад

This was awesome! I have a small red eared slider turtle, and in a year or two, when it gets too large to keep indoors without needing a 100 some odd gallon tank. I plan on making my own pond for it (though nothing nearly as large as the one in the video, I don't even think my yard has the amount of square footage as that pond.)

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Love those turtles! good luck with the pond!

@peoriafamily6525 6 лет назад

@ilovegoatsecks 8 лет назад

needs plants! needs lighting! looks a step above original, but not an inviting atmosphere. needs palms, flowers, lilys. ambient lighting, even underwater lighting around the edges. that would really, really make that pond spark!!

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

Hey Buddy, good ideas! thanks for the feedback

@browndog9402 7 лет назад

That pond is so sick, would love to have another one that size, we had one but snapping turtles kept going in and eating all the fish. Just before we sold the property i noticeded a small group of what looked like trout, i didnt want to move after that.

Is it hard to keep gravel clean at the bottom?

@StupiidBakedd 7 лет назад

nice!

@ryleeshafer8780 7 лет назад

what was the liner and its thickness used in this construction? Was there underlayment? Is there a particular type of liner you suggest for 100sqft type or bigger

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Hello Rylee. On this project we used a 45mil EPDM pond liner, it is the industry standard and has a 40 year life expectancy. We used a geotextile underlayment material before liner was installed. For your 100sqft pond I'd still use the 45mil EPDM as liner.

@sissymurphy9620 8 лет назад

I really like the fountain heads are you going to keep that feature .I have something similar in my pond

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

+sissy murphy Hey Sissy! Yes the fountains are a permanent part of the design. Fountain heads look great, and they help to oxygenate really well too! Thanks for watching! Mike

@sissymurphy9620 8 лет назад

How big was the pond and welcome back as I have not seen you on in awhile fellow NJ friend

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

+sissy murphy Hey Jersey friend! This pond is about 40'X35'X3' and the wetland filter is about 15'X10'. Thanks for checking out the vid and I'll have more coming! Mike

@Northisbest 6 лет назад

@kills456 7 лет назад

You should invest in a dingo or MI I skid steer will definitely save you time on moving materials also this would have looked a ton better with some lighting but beautiful pond I want one at my house now lol

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Those are great machines! I agree, lighting would have been awesome.

@lightsonevergreen5967 8 лет назад

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

+Lights on Evergreen Thanks for commenting! this pond is around 16,000 gallons.

@clints8731 6 лет назад

@thePondHunter 6 лет назад

@ZeeGreatOne 8 лет назад

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

Hello James this project took 7 work days to complete from start to finish. thanks for checking it out!

@GuildofKnightlyArts 7 лет назад

That is a fantastic job! Can this pond also be swam in without hurting the liner? How long will this pond typically last before everything has to be pulled back out and the liner replaced? Thanks.

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Hi Jason. The pond was not really designed for humans to swim in it, but it is big enough and 3' deep in most of it, so if someone chose to go into it and splash around they certainly could; and its nice filtered water. The liner has a manufacture rated 40 year life expectancy, but they can last longer when covered over and protected with rock and gravel.

@GuildofKnightlyArts 7 лет назад

Thanks for responding. I've been thinking of putting in a backyard pond and you've helped answer some of the questions I've had.

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching. Lots of other projects on my channel. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way. Mike

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

@jamielynn7674 5 лет назад

i'm trying to get an idea of how much building a pond like this would cost. We have acerage and I REALLY want a pond. How much would you estimate for something similar that is not already dug

@thePondHunter 5 лет назад

Hi Jamie, thanks for reaching out. There is no real standard for pricing on projects like these. If it were truly this type and size of pond you may be looking anywhere from $60K - $100K or more depending on how you approach the project. If you'd like more specific information please feel free to contact me directly and we can get more detailed info. Thanks

@wijoyoadi65 Год назад

what is the basis of geomembrane plastic?

@raphaelsklinitzis2877 6 лет назад

I want one sooo bad

@thePondHunter 6 лет назад

Lets do it! Just do it!!

@texrexy5344 7 лет назад

Hi, at 4:11 is the reason I click the video...how long that's plastic fabric gonna last?

@thePondHunter 7 лет назад

That pond liner has a 40 year life expectancy when installed correctly.

@Arteolike 8 лет назад

Great looking project, not quite sure about actually building in the shelves, I would have kept the depth as the first selves and made it deeper in the center.

@thePondHunter 8 лет назад

+Arteolike Hey, thanks for the feedback and checking out the video!
