Pond Tour: Gumdale Swimming Pond One Year Later 

This house is across the street from my estate and we always wondered what was over the fence. Looks amazing

Don't rewatch video's. I have seen this at least 3x. Passion, artistry, teaching others- Patrick has it all! ❤

That’s the most beautiful natural pool I’ve ever seen. That’s art. 🙏🏽

Simply Beautiful Patrick! 👌👌

Of all the natural pool ponds I’ve seen . This one is my favorite

Absolutely stunning project, Patrick and team! Everything is amazing, the eucalyptus forest in the back, the Aussie native plantings, and especially the water quality!! The house is incredible too.

This is my favorite swim pond of all time. There are so many interactive zones. I also like how there isn't too much wasted space from boulders and you have straight ledges to deep zones.

🎉 can't wait to hire Waterscapes Australia for my build.

Wow. IT is one the most Beautyful pond(at night sight) which one I have seen.

Outstanding!

Amazing to see this project continues to mature. Thank you for going back!!

One of the best natural ponds I’ve seen, amazing work lads.

This is so exciting, I learned about natural pools recently and wondered how viable these magnificent pools would be tp build in Aus. I'm in Brisbane! Right down the road!

Stunning work. Best one I've seen done anywhere in the world.

It's so beautiful I just want to dive right in. The whole design all round just brilliant and the colour of that water is so inviting. I also love that the tree was left there, it really looks like you're at the creek. Great work. 😊

W😍W, I love it, I can’t wait for the boarders to Australia to open, so us pom’s can come and enjoy. First class natural pond

A stunning work of natural art, well done...

This is the one piece of art . What a blissful home ❤

Will I die without having a house on my own and swimming pond…. So cool

This is what I envisioned when I bought our property with, & I'm pretty sure the team could do it, a complete eco system and water waste system that recycles all waste water into usable water. The dream of being totally self-sufficient, water saving & environmentally friendly and responsible for our exact area is the goal. We already recycle & work towards off grid sustainability that everyone tells me I have big dreams but I want this beautiful 5acs we have in the middle of the most stunning area I know to last for another 100yrs as it's already done. That means being as earth conscious as is possible to get. Pushing boundaries and ideas and people to the absolute edge of their best abilities, skills and technology, that is as non toxic recyclable & environmentally friendly as I & my family can get. We want to replant, reanimal, regrow & renew our little 5acs without taking anything more from this place, I want to swim and hydrate the land, us & the native wildlife we live with. We're doing that as completely as we can with our wonderful old farmhouse, so why not when it comes to our recreational facilities. We also are gifted with an incredible area for providing our own food. We really want to hand on a legacy to our kids & theirs which can grow, be updated & made better as time passed & the knowledge grows. These guys seem to be on the same path and page as us. Adore the fish aspect to the work as well, we have a number of birds here that rely on the natural food our area provides, the plants, insects and fish are an enormous part of that. We're not the only ones who love water round here!!!!!😊 Even the snakes need a drinky poo in a drought or a super heated day. 🤗 See where I'm going with this, said I had big ideas. ☺️ Love the work, to all who love this type of swimming or ponds as well....... Good On Ya👍✌️🤘💧🇦🇺

Saving this to reference some features when we finally get to designing ours. Absolutely stunning and perfect for this house.

Beautiful. I came here from the USA aquascape channels. Great to see a local project and no fence required in bcc as it's a 'pond'

Phenomenal water feature design and build! I envision this same type of water feature for my property someday. Great work.

Stunning work! It's a joy to see how you love what you do! You truly make people happy❤️❤️❤️

Great work and use of materials! Amazing ideas and concepts 👌

Incredible from the front door to the puddle in the back

This is the nicest and most well planned out waterscape i have personally seen. It’s perfect. Thank you for sharing with us

This one is incredible. Fantastic work.

Beautiful work

Stunning house with amazingly beautiful swim pond 😍 feels like you're always in a vacation ❤

Amazing project. Quite possibly my favorite on youtube. Amazing functional design.

what an incredibly beautiful home and garden, I am building next year and something like this is an absolute dream for me. Unortunately I am in WA

Magical, simply magical

What would one expect to pay for a project like this? Super gorgeous ❤

terrific walkthrough

Absolutely amazing mate🙌🏻 True artist!!

This is a masterpiece 👏🧡

damn this stuff is amazing..if there's not a heaven.. then this is it. I wish to put my money and work on this stuff myself as a project in the future.

An absolutely stunning pond. You can really swim in that. Patrick your ponds are beautiful. Cheers from a fellow Aussie. xxx

very beautiful you are an inspiration to us with your concept

Wow! This is amazing!

Absolutely stunning ! A few coconut palms along the sand beach would look great .

Wow credit to all involved!

I just love it you did a wonderful job thank you for sharing just subscribed to your channel God bless you always

Really well done👍

Its beautiful thank you for sharing

Per this style of pond this is the most beautiful one I’ve seen. Idk why the guys in US can’t get their acts together. This is beautiful and natural Esq. and functional. These ponds in the USA I see are brown and make no sense as well as aren’t aesthetically pleasing. They don’t have an eye for what’s natural.

Wow!!!

Awesome!

Master at work..

You are such an artist.

Beautiful

Just spectacular!! I’m not sure what it cost…but it was worth every penny. 👍

Looks amazing and great thought behind it. Can you tell me how there is no pool fence to this pool? it does looks so much better without it but am curious. Great work big fan!

Very pretty.

OMG i so want that in my yard. Wondering what that would set you back??

I agree, the Melaleuca tree looks stunning, After a couple of wet summers, has it been problematic at all? Thinking more of leaf-drop in dryer times.

You are a pond GOD😂

Beautiful pond. How you prevent frogs, snakes, monitor lizards taking over the pond?

This is such a gorgeous project ! Thank you for sharing. You said there were (only) 6x36W pumps to circulate and filter 220000 liters ? Are there any jets ? Do you mind sharing how the 6 pumps distributes ?

Amazing, natural pool. Thinking of doing the same at my place local in birkdale. But how are the local toad! Kept out of it??

Hi Patrick! i just found your channel on RU-vid from CoralFIsh12g funnily enough. I live in Brisbane and travel through Gumdale often. I'm going to keep an eye out for this place! I want to pay to use that aquascape! Also, I have just completed a Certificate III in Hort/Conservation and Land Management. i know the basics but man, I wish I had the ecological knowledge you have. Do you run workshops or need a volunteer haha? Instantly subscribed.

The best swim pond I have ever seen ! Thank you Patrick. May I ask what is the depth of the pond ? And what kind of sand and/or pebble you put at the bottom ?

Gorgeous! Love the home also. Is there anyone who would know how I could find more info on this type of home build? 🤔 I don't believe it's a barndominium. Anyone know of a builder in the U.S. who has a web page with details and Floorplans? The rec pond is absolutely one of the most beautiful ponds ever. A true work of art. Love it! ❤️

pond like this in US probably be like $100k or maybe $200k or more . seem like this guy build very big ponds i love it

This is beautiful! Could you tell me if there is a problem with snakes in the water ? If so, what type of control helps?

Patrick - this is amazing. I have two questions. 1- you mentioned (6) 36 W pumps? Do you have a link for the low wattage pumps? 2- In the US most wetlands are about 1 M deep you comments are saying 1.4 M deep. Can you comment on the much deeper wetland? We live in a high desert with very hot summers, I am wondering if it helps to regulate temp?

How do the cane toads go I the water? Do the grow and populate?

How do they get around the pool fence rules.

Dream home 🥲

How do you get away with not needing a pool fence?

Serious question how do you keep the snakes out?

Man. I know envy is awful. But I wish I had money like this.

How do you get away with not having a fence? I wish I got one of these instead of a conventional pool

I really like the design....BUT after I built to connecting ponds I had snakes move in to eat the frogs and that was a problem.so after 3 black snakes and 2 brown being a threat to my kids I reluctintly had to close them down ,as my neibours also complained that it was the ponds that brought them.

What’s the price for a project like this?

I want to know what sort of money are we looking at here? I recognise it is 4 blokes over 4 weeks plus materials and machines.

can i come work for you

must have cost a fortune, including the house

awesome project. The sand area is not appealing though.

what about masquitoes? larvae ? is it natural as that? or can it can be ward off by something

What a lovely place to be eaten by a crocodile.

How do you keep cane toads out of it??

Beautiful job, what are the physical dimensions of the pond? It’s hard to gauge from the video.
