  • In this PART 2 video, John Adams, owner of Modern Design Aquascaping Inc., SHOWCASES the team building a pondless waterfall that is over three feet high in a flat back yard. While dealing with a ridiculous amount of rain, the guys have to haul 30 yards of soil and a truck load of boulders (some weighing over a ton) to the back of this home in Maryville Tennessee. In this episode, you will see the berm and retaining wall installation, waterfall construction, and IN THE END WE HAVE AWESOME NIGHT-TIME FOOTAGE OF THE WATERFALL WITH COMPLETED LANDSCAPE and testimonial from the clients about the experience of working with the team from Modern Design Aquascaping Inc. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE COMPLETED JOB!!

      @@KoiAddiction yes. used to watch a lot of ponds and waterfalls that was made in my country (Russia) and close around (Ukrain, ...). And most of waterfalls were vertical oriented, like a tower. Some about 2 meter tall. I even didn't think waterfall may be horizontal oriented, and more natural, much more interesting and breathtaking for contemplation (got help with dictionary with the word, hope it means i was thinking about :))
      Fortunately find your blog before realized my dream to build a pond with sturgeons in my garden (pond will be about 100 m2, 2 m deep). Now i know how my waterfall will be look like. Thank you for sharing ideas, comments, technologies, etc!

    Great pondless water feature and I have a better understanding on what type and size of stones to choose for different water features. Also like the way that you didn't make it "STICK" out of the ground like I have seen on so many water features. The sad thing is the consumer really doesn't know or see the difference unless they visit another "BUILT RIGHT" water garden feature. Keep up the great work and very educational video's.

    Lovely job, great detail and flow of water. I know this was a few years ago but it all helps. I'm in the UK, and follow most of you top landscapers, and love the work you all do, i'm going to be doing my own DIY stream in to my pond and hopefully it might look better than i hope for. If you can remember what was your elevation fall from the top to the basin water level, and how deep would you make your stream depth of rocks. 👌

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  3 года назад +2

      We had about 24 inches of elevation change maybe 30 but I don’t think so. We typically will make the water in the stream different jobs in different areas to create different sounds. We just make sure we keep our liner at least 3 inches above projected water level.

    Hi John, just watched your video building custom waterfall in flat backyard. Thanks for your technical explanation videos about choosing the rocks also.
    Couple questions,
    What would you charge for this job and I saw that due to rain the job took longer than expected and you had to rent a skid steer. Do you pass along those costs to your client? If so is it cost only or with some administration costs?
    Time lapse was great

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  5 лет назад +2

      We never pass cost on to clients unless they add on to the project. We track numbers and make great notes for future bidding. This job (should have sold for $30k based on numbers we ran. We sold it at $25k (without landscaping). We did ok, hit the target not the bullseye. We still have some tweaking to do, we actually have a leak on the top end to fix somehow. This is our first leak in a few years🙄 This cost is on us as well. In the end we have to grow, learn, and maintain our reputation. Life happens! Great question, thanks for watching🙏

    I've been watching waterfeature videos almost everyday for over a year now. There are some great videos out there but these two videos showed more of the process than I've seen. Many videos show the process but this video was not just a timelaps, it slowed down to real speed during critical points and helped me understand how a lot of things are physically accomplished. Loved it. Can I ask the size of the pump on this project?

    Hi am trying to build a swimming pond , with wetland area ,with a fish pond and waterfall. I have some ideas allready but bit losted. My space is small so I mite need to knock down a room r something if I can get planning permission. Any tips thanks

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  2 года назад +3

      Start out doing a little research on regulations in your area. From there you can begin your design. Designs the Water Feature starting with The Pond, then design a wetland filter that is sized appropriately for the size of the pond, then design a negative edge or an intake bay that is sized appropriately for the total combined flow of all pumps in the feature.🤟 at least that’s what I would do :-)

And sorry just one more question , am a carpenter and can do concrete and plastering, could I do most of my pond that way and just put some rocks up at the top. Thanks again
