Pond Tour: Gumdale Swimming Pond One Year Later
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2021
- Designer Patrick Handley and home owner Lee invite you on a tour of our Gumdale project, finished in 2020. The two year gap between initial enquiry and build was worth every moment of planning. A seated area under the waterfall, stepping stones, an entertainment deck on the water and multiple entry points really made this an enjoyable project to design and create.

This house is across the street from my estate and we always wondered what was over the fence. Looks amazing
That’s definitely one of the most beautiful ponds and houses too. Looks like heaven to me ❤
That’s the most beautiful natural pool I’ve ever seen. That’s art. 🙏🏽
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.
Thanks so much!
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.
Of all the natural pool ponds I’ve seen . This one is my favorite
Simply Beautiful Patrick! 👌👌
Cheers Mate!
🎉 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.
Thanks Tadeusz!
One of the best natural ponds I’ve seen, amazing work lads.
Cheers! Really enjoyed the freedom in design we were allowed by our loverly clients
Will I die without having a house on my own and swimming pond…. So cool
Amazing to see this project continues to mature. Thank you for going back!!
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. 😊
Thank you!
Don't rewatch video's. I have seen this at least 3x. Passion, artistry, teaching others- Patrick has it all! ❤
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.
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!
Phenomenal water feature design and build! I envision this same type of water feature for my property someday. Great work.
Saving this to reference some features when we finally get to designing ours. Absolutely stunning and perfect for this house.
Stunning work! It's a joy to see how you love what you do! You truly make people happy❤️❤️❤️
Outstanding!
This is the one piece of art . What a blissful home ❤
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'
Not entirely sure if the fence thing is correct. Queensland Building and Construction Commision states, "Please note that a fish pond that is also being used for swimming may be considered a swimming pool and therefore be required to comply with the pool safety standard." www.qbcc.qld.gov.au/your-property/swimming-pools/swimming-pool-safety-laws
I would be very happy to be corrected though. I love these features, and the aesthetic would be ruined with the implementation of a fence.
This is the nicest and most well planned out waterscape i have personally seen. It’s perfect. Thank you for sharing with us
A stunning work of natural art, well done...
Thank you! Cheers!
Stunning work. Best one I've seen done anywhere in the world.
Cheers Mate
Great work and use of materials!
Amazing ideas and concepts 👌
Cheers!
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
Always welcome Mark
We are on 120 and your guys are on 230v, so there is a bit of conflict on electrical. We could certainly wire for 230v for the pumps, but I imaging until US manufactureing gets as energy conscious as you folks we are stuck with inefficient pumps. Nice to know it is possible though.
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
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👍✌️🤘💧🇦🇺
Beautiful work
Thank you Brett!
very beautiful you are an inspiration to us with your concept
Absolutely amazing mate🙌🏻 True artist!!
Cheers, was an excellent team effort
Incredible from the front door to the puddle in the back
Cheers Ellyn!
An absolutely stunning pond. You can really swim in that. Patrick your ponds are beautiful. Cheers from a fellow Aussie. xxx
Cheers!
Its beautiful thank you for sharing
Cheers!
Stunning house with amazingly beautiful swim pond 😍 feels like you're always in a vacation ❤
This one is incredible. Fantastic work.
This is a masterpiece 👏🧡
I just love it you did a wonderful job thank you for sharing just subscribed to your channel God bless you always
Thank you!
Really well done👍
Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning ! A few coconut palms along the sand beach would look great .
Sure would! next time we do one in the tropics
terrific walkthrough
Magical, simply magical
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.
Amazing project. Quite possibly my favorite on youtube. Amazing functional design.
Cheers Ryan!
Wow credit to all involved!
Wow! This is amazing!
Thank you Lorette!
Wow!!!
Awesome!
Thanks Peter!
You are such an artist.
Cheers Karl
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Master at work..
Thanks Katrina!
Very pretty.
Cheers June!
You are a pond GOD😂
Just spectacular!! I’m not sure what it cost…but it was worth every penny. 👍
Yes it was!
What would one expect to pay for a project like this? Super gorgeous ❤
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!
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
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.
Drops a little but nothing drastic, the design would be missing something without out it.
Hi Patrick! i just found your channel on RUclips 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.
Thank you for subscribing Aaron! Appreciate the kind words as well. Contact Brett at Aquascape Australia via email - asavic@aquascapesupplies.com.au . He'll be able to fill you in regarding workshop schedules.
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! ❤️
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 ?
Phillippe it’s around 1.7 meters in the deepest area . There are plenty of shallower social areas in there as well . The sand is a triple washed silica and works well for this use. I also like coarse river sand for that “creek” feel
Beautiful pond. How you prevent frogs, snakes, monitor lizards taking over the pond?
Amazing, natural pool. Thinking of doing the same at my place local in birkdale. But how are the local toad! Kept out of it??
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 ?
Hi Philippe.. What Patrick meant to say was there are 6 x 20,000lph 36v low voltage pumps running the wetlands and multiple jets.
Dream home 🥲
This is beautiful! Could you tell
me if there is a problem with snakes in the water ? If so, what type of control helps?
No issue with snakes anymore then we already do in Australia , every pool gets a snake now and then
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?
Thanks for the great question!
Our wetlands are calculated at a percentage of the overall water body. When we add depth to wetlands, it could be a combination of temperature control, overall water volume of the project and/or space available vs wetland percentage required for rec ponds. Each project is different.
The total depth of the wetland including the central centipede excavation is generally between 1.2 and 1.4 meters deep - the variance is in the depth of the pebble substrates . If we have the flow available from the supply pump I do tend to make the substrate layers a little deeper as they will still function correctly whilst increasing the filtration surface area for beneficial bacteria .
Depth does assist in temperature control - especially in hotter climates, but also in combatting evaporation when coupled with having the water in a reservoir or a deeper wetland.
@@Waterscapesaustralia Thank you! You do beautiful work. Do you have a link to the 36W pumps that you mentioned?
@@johnhildebrand8740 Here you go John - aquascapesupplies.com.au/asa-20-000-lv-pump/
@@Waterscapesaustralia do you know if these pumps are available in the US? Looks like an external pump - is it? Or is it Submersible?
@@Waterscapesaustralia I took a better look at the pump - clearly submersible.
Man. I know envy is awful. But I wish I had money like this.
Maybe it’s not envy, but just wishful thinking. Trust all goes your way so that you too can enjoy this dream. I’m dreaming too 😊
How do the cane toads go I the water? Do the grow and populate?
How do they get around the pool fence rules.
How do you get away with not needing a pool fence?
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.
Serious question how do you keep the snakes out?
Really hoping for a keel back to show up but alas not as yet , Seriously its a not like you have a snake party when you have a pond. You might get some transient individuals chasing a frog but thats about it.
How do you get away with not having a fence?
I wish I got one of these instead of a conventional pool
If it's a pond "principally used for ornamental purposes" they aren't considered a pool in QLD
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.
email or call
us Linda , happy to discuss.
What’s the price for a project like this?
Drop us an email or message Justin, designs start at around 100K for recreation ponds, garden ponds and streams from 10k
must have cost a fortune, including the house
can i come work for you
awesome project. The sand area is not appealing though.
Thanks for comment! Yes beaches aren’t for everyone , what don’t you like about the sand ? ✌🏼
Thanks for your reply
The sand area (before the water edge) is soggy and wet and hard, not dry and inviting to lay on or hang out on.
I’m not even sure if this is possible to have or if sand works like this in ponds though.
The rock work and design and waterfall area is exceptional though.
How does the filtration system work?
@@poerava Heya! It’s actually not soggy or wet . The sand under water is firm and nice to walk on, like in a river or creek. The sand above waterline is dry and not soggy . You can check out the latest visit to this pond here - ruclips.net/video/ROGoW9LlwUI/видео.html
@@Waterscapesaustralia
Oh wow. Ok. I’ll check it out. Thank you 🙏🏽
what about masquitoes? larvae ? is it natural as that? or can it can be ward off by something
No mosquitos in these , they don't actually like running water.
What a lovely place to be eaten by a crocodile.
sure is :). a long way from ceros territory
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.
The maximum dimensions are approx 18 x 10 at the widest points plus the wetlands, stream and dry beach areas etc . it undulates and not a typical square/round pond , way more interesting this way . Approx 220000 litres in the system
@@Waterscapesaustralia The Boab tree will make it reminiscent of a Kimberley Rockpool. There seems to be much less boulders in this one than other rec ponds. Great job.
