Duckweed is such a good barometer of water quality. That green carpet showed just how filthy that water was!
It was a total mess!! Much better now!
What a change. Way more functional than before!
Great job , I want to see more videos coming , I love pond videos , keep up the great job .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
At least the owner was smart enough to throw in duckweed so it didn't become an algae feast
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
Awesome pond. Especially with the different depths :)
Would have loved to see the kois in there
Cheers from Germany
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.
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!
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
I gave you 11 minutes out of my day, a complete stranger as well, and I found this very interesting! Thank you
11 minutes is an awesome commitment! Thank you for watching, thank you for commenting!! All the best to you.
Fantastic job Mike!
Thanks very much!
That pond is Awesome ! Great JOB !
Hey Paully thanks!
What a great job. Makes me want to put a pond in. Love your videos:)
Thanks Pejoly! call me when you are ready for that pond!
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.
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.
One of the nicest Ive seen. Looks like a 30k water feature when Im sure its no were near that much.
Amazing work as always Mike. But the look on your face when describing the fiberglass rocks for the water, OMG PRICELESS!!!
+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!
What a difference, great job guys.
Thanks Dougie!
Beautifully made. Well explained as well. Subbing.
+Puff Of Smoke Thanks Puff! I'll have more coming!
Great job, terrific pond!
Thank you Peter!
"Really big ASS liner" hahahaha!!!
Love this video Mike. Definitely gave me some ideas for any future pond transformations!!!
+Paramount Ponds Ha! thanks for checking out the vid! Mike
the end result was absolutely stunning
Thank you Edwin!
Great transformation! Nice work! Mike, maybe do a follow up video of say 1 year later with plants and fish life.
His head certainly making background jiggly, haha
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.)
Love those turtles! good luck with the pond!
Love your work!
+Jim Walloch Thanks Jim! Thanks for checking out the vid! Mike
damn! that camera captured the fabric of space/time being warped. cool
Amazing effects! ha!
beautiful
Very nice pond
Thanks Paul!
Me I love watching they build :)
Amazing, fantastic job .when you need 6 men to carry the liner you know it's big 😃😃.god only knows how much it cost.if I had the money and the space I would fly you guys over to the UK to do one for me . amazing thanks for posting xx
Thanks so much. Let me know when you are ready for your pond!! Cheers!
awesome pond, great job
Thanks very much!!
Nice! Looks great.
Thanks very much!
Epic beautiful pond..Kudos
Thanks very much!
Looks great
great job, top quality!
Hey thanks!
Nice job u guys worked hard 😉
Yes we did!! thanks for checking out the video.
No problem 😉
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!!
Hey Buddy, good ideas! thanks for the feedback
The Aquascape Stacked slate earns would look good to dress up your 3 fountains
4:37 lol look at those trees behind him
noticed that too
Omg it's beautiful
Thank you Karol!!
the back round looked like bad Photoshop it was trippy every time your face or body was on it
its caused by some effect youtube uses to "stabilize" videos, but yes, trippy all the same!
Yes I know I was just comparing good job 👌
The customers that this pond was built for eventually added koi and goldfish and lots of plants
MarKay Beats I thought I was the only one who noticed
MarKay Beats same I was going to say the same thing it's so photoshopped
great job!
Thanks very much!
Much nicer than before.
😚good job man. Just beautyfull
Thank you Victor!
Amazing work
Thank you Mohamad!
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.
No fish. Please revisit when the koi are in.

Thanks for checking it out! very happy its been helpful
thePondHunter it has keep up the great job!
Nice forest background...
provided by Mother Nature!
the force is strong with this one, anyone notice how because of his high midichlorian count reality was warped around him?
My midi was high that day for sure! LOL
nice work
Great pond
Thanks Mike!
very nice....we need you here in Shelbyville Tn to do some work I have been wanting a pond for some time now....maybe I will have one installed before fall
Thanks Denali, we did a great project in Knoxville, TN last fall. Came out awesome, love that TN stone! -Mike
All ponds look great when new. Hopefully you added lot of plants and fish to bring it to life.
I would love to see how this pond is after couple of years
very nice i love it
Thank you so much!
I'm a fan..and the content you put out is amazing....I watch, but don't always comment...but I'm more shy than people would know.but....I am confident with my intuition..and am just elated at your efforts to share your love of Ponding, it shows....it is fun to watch you work. Great video...will be back for sure!
+Christine McCoy And I'll have some more coming out as quick as I can! thanks for checking out the vids!
Stupendo lago bravissimo 💪🔝🤗👍👏
Cool !
nice!
Wow nice
Thanks for checking out the video!
Good!
Trippy!!!!
Главное - не останавливаться и довести дело до конца, а то сегодня - охота строить, а завтра - не охота
Awesome
Yes!! thank you
Very beautiful
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed
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
Those are great machines! I agree, lighting would have been awesome.
Great job i subscribe ! :)
Thanks Wizard!!
That is an awesome looking pond!!! What does something like that cost to do?
i have a serious question and i am also in new jersey, i wanted to know how deep i can dig my pond without requiring a permit or something along those lines. Glassboro nj to be exact.
Music is a little depressing... But that's one good looking pond, great job boys!
Nice
nice job. best regards from Croatia!
Thank you so much!
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.
+Arteolike Hey, thanks for the feedback and checking out the video!
That’s not a pond, that’s a lake!!! Looks sweet though.
man you are awesome and a good person even if this be yo job
Thank you!
your welcome bro
I'd use it as a pool
Please revisit and see Koi
Those three hoses popping out of the water are extremely unnatural looking. A great start but ultimately incomplete.
I really like the fountain heads are you going to keep that feature .I have something similar in my pond
+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
im sooo excited that that lil frog in the beginning gets its pond pimped nto stolen.. ha. i love it. . Baby Kiss that Frog .. and Pond! :D
Wow :o wonder how many bluegill I could put in there
Lots and lots of bluegill could live in this pond!!
I would love to see it with fish in it
Is it hard to keep gravel clean at the bottom?
Great pond! Looks amazing. How many gallons was it?
+Lights on Evergreen Thanks for commenting! this pond is around 16,000 gallons.
I want one sooo bad
Lets do it! Just do it!!
How big was the pond and welcome back as I have not seen you on in awhile fellow NJ friend
+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
Wowwwwww 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Whoa. I love this video, but the weird video effect that was going on needs to not happen. The pond is gorgeous! I'm going to have to watch more of your channel. :D Are you going to go back when they add fish?
Thanks Naerwyn. Yes, the video effect ( a RUclips effect btw) is a bit strange. A follow up video will happen at some point.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for watching. Lots of other projects on my channel. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way. Mike
Anytime Jason!
Nice pond guys , I used to work doing ponds .
How can rocks be SO damn old and yet fresh?
+Valueless Dollar Ha! yes, that is the big question! lol
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
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.
Very nice pond, how long did it take to make?
Hello James this project took 7 work days to complete from start to finish. thanks for checking it out!
what is the basis of geomembrane plastic?
Hi mike i id like to built a concrete pond of that same size .. what r the big differences ???
This is so big but i hane a bigge4 one at colgoolie
nice green screen ther
A good pond doesnt need artificial filtering. A good selection of aquatic and bog Garden plants will do all the filtering and keep it natural and balanced. By the way, what happened to the frog?
In theory, yes. However, did you see all of the trees around this pond? You will definitely need to skim the leaves off and maintain the skimmers.
Nice job. How long did that take? 3 weeks?
Thanks Clint. This project took about 8 days start to finish. I'm fortunate to have a great and experienced team!
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
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
