- Aquascape was called in to fix a mucky, algae-filled farm pond. Today, it's no longer an eyesore but serves as a beautiful backdrop for weddings and special events.

I love everything Aquascape makes. So jealous... I want a pond!!
That's a lot of guys for one huge job, and it turned out very nice 😮❤
I’ve watched pretty much every vlog you’ve ever put out and I’m still going through all the old ones. Hundreds of vlogs later and I’m still mesmerised by every pond you show. I can’t help but smile
Hilton Aquatics Awesome!!!
That pumping system is ridiculous!!! A 100% water change 2.5 times a DAY!!! Well done👏🏾👏🏾
that build was sooooooooooooooooo much fun 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
C.E. Pontz It was one to remember!
I loved watching the episode where y'all brought this Pond back to life and all the hard work that went into it! I'm glad you revisited it so we could see it once again in all its Glory! 💖Love this pond!💖
"A diet for the pond" what a wonderful project and video. Great to see more details of the intake bay. Thank you!
Peter Svan Thanks for your support and interest!
Great renovation. The Louisiana in me pronounces Ed's last name as Bow-you whenever I see it on screen 😂
This is the video I've been looking for. We're a retail nursery in Texas (and an Aquascape dealer.) Our existing ponds in front of our store are a constant maintenance nightmare, I'm currently looking for ways to remedy them using Aquascape principles. More videos like this please! Algae and water clarity are HUGE issues in TX!

What an amazing pond! the waterfall is gorgeous
Great way to start the week.
I have been waiting for this video since you guys renovated this pond years ago. Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
I just laid new drainage tile and dug a 750 ft swell. I'm hoping my land will dry out enough to begin excavation this May. Planning a kidney shape with a longer leg 150x250 clay bottom. I'm super pumped.
I love all your videos, love water features. I would enjoy having one someday. Keep up the good work and videos.
You guys always do such beautiful and competent work.
Wow incredible work, you guys are great.
Such a great solution great job guys
man I love these type of pond rehab videos. so cool and makes me want my own bass pond

Amazing Greg!
Gorgeous pond!
How awesome! You all rock!!!
Excellent. Gives me hope for my dream of a pond that we can use as part of our equine obstacle course, that also acts as a pleasant retreat for humans! I'll get there - and these videos really help. Thank you!
I love watching your vlog and this is awesome

The question is meant to be for the McKennon farm with the 5-7 pumps as shown. The annual electric cost??
That's my dream to have a farm with a 3-5 acre pond and a food forest non profit organization I love working with nature and teaching kids how to fish farm and live in balance with nature give all sorts of children a different look on life so they can grow up with a choice of the fast lane, or love this earth we were gifted 🙏✨
When I am able to get my dream started you guys will be my pond crew 😎🤙☀️
Can't wait for you make a pond for Blake Exotic Ranch !
NICE
This may be a stupid question but when he says they will be able to fish for the bass which are in there, how do they stop the chances of hooking the large koi by accident?
the best..
Take a shot every time he say "AquaScape life style"
Hi Greg
Another fantastic pond , over here in the UK there’s a lot of haters who say rock and gravel ponds are bad for the fish as they just sit in their own waste , look at the comments on peter waddingtons channel ( waddy) , I’ve tried to explain how you eco systems work but just get shot down by the haters . Keep the videos coming 👍
martin hoyt an age old battle. Just got back from Japan. All their grow out “mud ponds” have lots of rock and gravel 🤔
I’d love to discuss/showcase the benefits....
And I will showcase them in upcoming Pond Professor Vlog’s!
Ed Beaulieu don’t need to convince me Ed
Take a look at peter waddingtons channel and look in the comments section, his channel is waddypete the video in question is we should always have a choice , it’s quite shocking the comments
I have an existing pond too. It's fluctuates. Would you recommend doing something like this for my pond? It's a quarter acre.
Greg should do a house tour!
Like so he can see it

He already did.
I think the bald guy is even more enthusiastic than Greg...ahaha never thought I would see that...
Norinickr Rostron Ck his Channel out!
ruclips.net/channel/UC60vydWbUX8x9uemj8sL3Tw
Hahaha......
Thanks!
I’m passionate about water and it’s importance in our daily lives!!!
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy Thanks...will subscribe...
Amazing pond, can get a canoe on that water :P
That’s amazing not only do we get to see a magnificent pond but we also get to discover an amazing non prophet organisation
So their is a big rock Illinois and Little Rock Arkansas
Chris Bentley That’s ironic because we don’t have a lot of rock easily accessible here but Arkansas is loaded!!!
Ed Beaulieu yeah😂
Even more ironic there’s a big rock and Little Rock in Southern California too they’re small towns in Cali terms
Crock rock Illinois. Little different
If you would to do a pond in Massachusetts, like I’m thinking to do one when I’m older, most likely when I have my own house, like will it be possible to do it with the cold weather. And if I would do that, how much would it cost?
Yes, you can have a pond in cold weather. We have installers in Canada and the ponds do just fine. You can get an idea of costs by looking at the water features here: www.aquascapeconstruction.com/water-gardening-store
Thank you very much
So is that a lined pond or one that was just dug?
Id love to know how much this cost
Ponds like this you should shut the pumps off in spring so the bass can spawn.
The large mouth bass, catfish & koi reproduce with the pumps running
We have catfish up to 36”. Koi are even bigger.
I want a pond i tried to make one but cood not
👌
Airlift pumps could help....low power ...cheap to make
Can you swim in this pond?
Does a pond this massive still get maintenance water change?
No water change. Add some times in July & August. We are able to add 20,000 gal a day
Pond is 1/2 acre in size
Isn't duck weed a natural plant fertiliser?
He said he hauled it away
What is the annual electric cost for the pond??
Electrical costs vary depending on type/size of pump used, whether you have lights or other electronic devices such as an Automatic Dosing System, aerator, etc.
Doesn't the pumps increase the electricity bills or are they solar powered.
Sinto Joseph- the pumps are very energy efficient and they will raise the cost of electricity, but not by much.
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy ok
This is absolutely amazing, but I wonder how much energy is used for all the pumps and everything. If the aim is to increase biodiversity and all that, is using fossil fuel to power the pond counterproductive? Would love to hear a reply thanks Ed and Greg!!!
maz p The only pump that needs to operate continuously is approx. 750 Watts which runs the Wetland Filter, the other pumps are used periodically but do have a benefit for Increasing the Dissolved Oxygen and helping with debris removal.
There are a lot of factors that go into determining the Pro’s vs. Con’s:
The old pond was well into the eutrophication process which is not necessarily a bad thing and it’s a normal part of the lifespan of a pond, everything will eventually die including ponds.....
The true benefit for the local wildlife(pollinators, insects, birds and amphibians) would be considered priceless because they perform a lot of ecosystem services for the surrounding community, pollination of crops, dragonflies, frogs, and bats eat mosquitoes and other disease causing flying insects, the high biological activity within the Wetland Filter sucks CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, etc......
If this system was not being used the alternative is chemical treatment to control weed growth(what’s the environmental cost of the chemicals including the Carbon footprint for packaging and transportation of the chemicals to the site and then what’s the impact on the animal community?
It raises a great question and without a more detailed breakdown it’s difficult to say exactly but in my mind when I look at the facts we’re doing more good than harm.....
Like I said, just amazing! Thank you so much for the informed, honest answer. By far one of my favourite RUclips channels. We definitely need such smart, knowledgeable people like you Ed! The work you’re doing is so important and beyond amazing!
maz p Thank you!!!

I live in Big Rock this is dope
👍
I see Koi! Can I have koi in my 3/4 acre pond that has catfish?
Yes. Some of the Koi & Catfish are 36”
ruclips.net/video/BZkIAfbdU8E/видео.html
Did you dredge the muck off the bottom before adding all the other elements? I imagine 60 years of goo would have been substantial.
We removed the organize material on the shelf around the edge from the past 60 years before starting the build.
