Mike this is phenominal! Great job! I like the smaller one you built even better!
Amazing! Love it! Especially your seperate natural filtering unit with the waterfall. Great idea!! I also love the plants, they will probably grow in numbers. 🙂
as a man who lives in the UK that pond is bigger than my house haha
it's nice
Look children… dad is building a pond.
And you've got a water supply for when that forest fire arrives 😮
Simplemente de una mentalidad galáctica,un soñador de una perfec ion total te admiro 🤷🙏👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇷
amazing ;)
Ey you can modulate that red clay thru Hydration and make pottery bricks Dishes like native Americans that clay has a lot of applicability go research it Rain Catch tiles
dude, you are a beast doing that stone work solo!👍👍
that's incredible ! i have watch the video too, can you do another video that explain the systeme you used for keeping it clean
Wow! Wow! Please keep us updated as your plants start showing off. That's the clearest water I've seen. Absolutely Well Done!
Hi! Would you be willing to do an in depth video on the process, design, costs and any tips on building? For those of us who want to do something similar to this? I think alot of people would find it very helpful! Thanks 🙏
Yes! I am sure it will be a series of videos, but i will try and start releasing some soon. Thank you for your interest!
@@mikeofalltradez glad to hear it! Just subscribed and turned on post notifications. 👍👏 🔔
absolutely amazing swim pond, you should consider making a longer more in depth detailed video of how you designed the filtration system because wow did you do a FANTASTIC JOB! ive watched dozens of swim pond builds and how clear your water is during the initial filling tells me its one of the best ive ever seen, most take a few days after its filled to clear up, yours is literally clearing up while its being filled, fantastic work and thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Yes, ill definitely try and put together some more videos as there seems to be lot of interest! The water I used to fill it was from a lake in our backyard (which was already a bit brown).
Absolutely beautiful 😮
I am in awe 😮😮😮 that is beautiful
This is going make you famous. Great job.
Mike, that is a great build
What does it cost to get that much stone of that size delivered? Variables excluded.
Prices are going to vary wildly… I got mine direct from a quarry and hired a dump truck driver to deliver 18 tons at a time when I needed it. Total of about 250 tons of stone. The larger stone was $1300 per 18 tons. Probably 180-200 tons of just the “boulders”
@@mikeofalltradez wow. Maybe I’ll just steal some from under a bridge then. Haha
@@joshuajones6513 yea not a cheap project unfortunately, the liner was 10k alone…. There are ways to build it cheaper… check out ozponds and david pagen butlers channels
Kick ass job
줄스님에서 봤던 습지여과기 설치하네 크으
Ill have to check that out! Thanks for the comment
Que buen trabajo, felicidades! me gusta mucho como utilizaste las piedras. Saludos desde Barcelona.
Wow! Thank you so much!
What I wanna know is how many people laughed and said it couldn’t be done? lol. All my craziest projects or ideas had some NAYYYYSAYERS. lemme tell ya! And either I did them, or someone else eventually did them and it was funny to see those people eat them words! I have a natural indent in the ground on my place. About 10 feet deep on the one end, and graded just like someone would do digging a concrete pool. Has a few saplings in the bottom, and A BUNCH of leaves and pine needles in the bottom needs cleaned out. I’m trying to talk the husband into drilling a well and lettin her rip! He even suggested clearing a nice little path straight to it….with lights! lol. Great job! I can’t imagine the back and muscle aches you got to get this monster done!!!
Are the big stones lining the pool loose or are they cemented down somehow
They are Dry stacked, no cement.
Is this the first time you've done this? Looks good.
All your hard work has really paid off , and it was worth it all as this is SO beautiful !!
Thank you!
That is absolutely beautiful. Great job!
Why don't you just buying a lake?
Faster, simpler, and toddler
Actually I own an 8 acre lake on the other side of the house. Not nearly as clear of water though, love to see the fish and frogs in here
Obdivuhodný výkon samostatné práce . Navrhuji Nobelovu cenu za obrovské úsilí . 👍👍👍🦾🦾🦾
Thank you! I accept!
Très beau projet mais où sont passés les traductions des autres commentaires ?
In my country you have to be very rich to use that much water. It would cost me a fortune😅in the summer heat I want to be rich more than ever😂
Started with water from our small lake in the backyard, now its just rain water recirculating
incredible, that awesome bro
Thanks a lot!
Very nice pool build, great job. Do you have or had any thoughts regarding the rocks falling or tumbling down? As I only see you stacking them. Or are the sides sloped enough and the rocks too heavy for anyone to accidentally dislodge them?
Its hard to tell in the video, or even standing in front of the pond, buy yes the sides are sloped and the rocks placed carefully to avoid that
Fantastic work
Love it!
Thanks!!
Love what you have done, great job. Only concern is what happens if the liner ever splits or punctures, kids will be kids. I think I would have gone with clay instead, to make it more serviceable.
Certainly a risk! However, its 60 mil epdm… very tough to puncture, plus a thick geotextile underlayment on both sides of the liner. Then to even get to the liner you have to go through the rock. Clay would never look as clear as this pond looks now and it will inky get clearer in another year. We have an 8 acre clay lake in our back yard, looks good but not even close to this!
@@mikeofalltradez That’s flat roofing grade, wow. That must have cost several thousand for a liner of that size and must have been crazy heavy.
Awesome hard work 👍🏼
absolutely amazing video, absolutely amazing build, it really is just ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WHAT YOU DID!!!
Thank you so much!
All in all, I think you have done an incredible job! I'm saying this after 40 years of experience in traditional and natural architecture, including natural pools, ponds and riparian design scapes. I could do without all the unessary plastics and liners, which will degrade quicker than most people think breaking down into more micor plastics in our ecology, but with your clay soils, the natural "gleying" that will take place should leave you with no issues at all. For a first project, I can't believe what you have pulled off. I hope you consider doing this as a side profession, as your style and skill warrant professional recognition. WELL DONE!
@@JayCWhiteCloud thanks for the kind words, this is actually my 2nd pond build. Definitely learned a few lessons on the 1st and a few more on this one.
Can you point me to resources that do not use liners?
@@ZacharyChampigny clay
@@ajg942 OK so in states like MA we are SOL?
@@ZacharyChampigny no you just put bentonite in the water
Great job! The stonework especially…should last a long time! In 30 years your grandkids will love it!
@@greenspiritarts oh man I really hope so! Thanks so much!
I'm Impressed.
Here is a man who got tired to mow the lawn ...😅
That little tractor done well wish we could do that in the uk the paper work from the local council would be at lead 2 years and probably rejected under some crappy rule well done my friend enjoy your freedom
As a positive note, I would suggest looking into it. This qualifies as a "natural pool," and the restrictions on those are being changed all the time, even in the U.K., where wildlife habitat creation and protection is huge. There are a few companies there now specializing in it, and getting the documents through planning councils is getting less cumbersome for this style of natural and sustainable landscaping...
Dude, that is the best single man project I’ve seen on you tube. You inspire me…. Great great work.
Wow! Thank you man, huge compliment!
Friends don’t let friends drive orange tractors!
Couldn’t watch the video! Music is too annoying!
Sorry didn’t write the music, just built the pond and thought id share it
Looks amazing , mosquito 🦟 heaven 😂
Believe it or not, no mosquitoes! The dragon flys and other critters the pond attracts eat mosquitoes who cant lay eggs in the moving water anyway!
Respect! Hard and heavy work, but look at the result I love it. I hope you enjoy it for a long time 👍👍
I hope so too!
Your engineering is premium! Early on I had no clue what you were doing but if I weren't 2000 miles away, I would have come and taken a few scoops with the 988 Cat to help you along! At 16 tons a scoop she'll move some earth.
Oh man! I could have used that! Thought about renting or borrowing something bigger, but I own the little B26 Kubota so I just slowly plugged away
Looks like something out of the Flintstones, super sick:)
Haha I had a delivery guy say the same thing
