Still can't get over this build. Location is incredible but somehow this fits so seamlessly. Perfect for that family that wants "the best of both worlds". It's in my top 3 of your always amazing work.
This might be my favorite one. Something about the formality of a traditional shape mixed with the natural organic shapes elevates it to perfect restraint and balance. Well done!
Good evening Jaak hope you had an amazing day. Wow what a spectacular job and project. This is absolutely amazing I love it. This was the first video I've seen in almost 2 months since I had a second stroke in now under 2 years and it caused brain damage on the left side. How I've missed all your videos you have no idea how much I truly love to watch and see these amazing projects and ponds you build. Their so relaxing and inspiring to watch. Glad to be back home with my kids and husband doing better and being able to watch your videos and now to catch up on 2 months of videos I haven't been able to watch. Can't wait to see all the fantastic jobs you have done these last 2 months. Thanks for the awsome video Jaak and a hudge congratulations on hitting 60k subscribers aswell. Hope you have a fantastic week and I'll see you next video like always.
Simply gorgeous. It's like they found a big natural spring and decided to build a swimming pool fed by it. There are a couple of actual places like that in Texas. If I had the room (and the money!) I'd definitely love to have something like this!
Never fear Jaak. Alan exudes confidence. 😁 wow! That came out absolutely beautiful. I wasn't sure about the design, but it is spot on. Love the infinity edge. Great work by both teams
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! I was having trouble seeing where this was going. Seeing it completed, though? One word - fantastic! You guys killed it with this one.
Wow Jaak so many different elements of this build that are awesome breathtaking unique … Decker is a bit optimistic there on his timeline at the end 😎Jaak “yeah; you’re ambitious bud” “🫤my neck hurts”😂
Love the negative edge looking into the scenic Hudson. Formal? Wow!! The depth was crazy!! If I had property to support this I would want it and a koi pond! Great work by the whole team!! Working those blocks was definitely worth the effort. I wonder how the lighting played out?
Definitely one of my favorite ponds you’ve done. It looks like they took advantage of a natural spring that broke the surface and they built the pond in the middle of it. Nice rock work throughout. I love that the deep end and the shallow end look as if you ran into ledge and kept it rather than breaking it out. Even though it was all man made, It’s as if the formal was built with respect around the natural and that’s why they fit so well together. Beautiful work!
Hi Jaak. How are you Sir? You and your team have done an outstanding job. That Formal Recreational Pond is really splendid. To be honest, I prefer a more natural looking Recreational Pond, however each to their own opinion. The Part where you said you used to be able to do 9 hours and now 7 hours feels like an ass whooping, well I am afraid that is old age Sir, yet I am sure you still enjoy your job. @GregWittstock. Jaak Loves His Job. 👍 Like 129 is now up. Thankyou very much for sharing. Take care Sir. 👍🙂❤
Atlantis and Decker’s hit this one out of the park, truly amazing! I wasn’t sure after the 1st video about how it would work, formal and natural, but wow, awesome job! I’m super jealous of those homeowners. Perfect marriage or styles there.
This one looks so beautiful! I love watching your videos! I tried to create a small pondless waterfall that I could see from my kitchen window. This was before I discovered your videos. I spent hours and hours 3 years ago trying to create something beautiful...needless to say...I need to start over...sigh.
Just like your two teams, this one blended together seamlessly. You had us all wondering, but you guys definitely pulled this off. It doesn't get any better than this! Congratulations.
Jaak... I literally had tears well up in my eyes when I saw that infinity edge...omg! How stunning is that view. I am not a formal person in anyway shape form or fashion but I would have this in my yard without a doubt. You and Alan and crew did such an incredible job on this. Y'all busted ass in two weeks and look at how gorgeous! God bless y'all 😊
Not that cool... JUST KIDDING, you guys make a dream team and the work is stellar, those large block stones are amazing, such a unique project. Way to push the boundaries of art and science!
Classy and natural and the same time. I could go for something like that. Oh wait, don't have the room or the money. haha. That turned out fantastic Jaak! You all out did yourselves.
It looks amazing, love the formal square pond it has many natural rock elements you'd never see in a pool , it's unique the wet lands, the edge and water falls are just so beautiful, great job guy's !!
Jaak, this feature is amazing!! You guys have done some cool ponds before but this one is crazy good!! Not many gardens in the uk could take a pond like that! 👏👏
I would've had the swimming area surrounded with rock,place a few flat rock for sitting with a fire pit!The walls make it look like a pool and not a pond,looks great either way:-)
Would I do a formal style pond at my house....hmmmmm. Not a straight forward yes or no answer for me. I do love the straight smooth sides of the formal pond. Mostly I think that because the large rocks in the rec ponds make me so nervous. I think I would worry about someone getting seriously hurt on one of those. Especially if they weren't familiar with the pond itself. Rambunctious kids, perhaps intoxicated adults..... The times I have seen Greg or a few others flip into one, I wince, badly! So yes, for my stress level, I would put one in. However, I don't think a formal pond would fit with just any house either, so I think that could be a factor. I still prefer the look of nature to the formal look, so no, I don't think I would. BUT this feature is gorgeous, with enough of both formal and nature to make it fit very well on this property. Now in regards to Alan, in every video I see with him on a job, he is just a busy bee working away. On video, he seems to have endless energy and obviously has a positive attitude! And Jaak, if you weren't hurting from this job........I mean have you seen the size of those boulders! LOL. I hope you both were able to go home a relax some after this job. Well done!
I’m a sucker for the natural-looking pond, but this looks incredible! The amount that it matured in just a few months is fantastic! Quick question: when you were laying down the cobble in the wetland, it looked like you used various sizes of cobble on the first layer alone (4” or so to the left, 2” to the right), instead of keeping each layer uniform and gradually decreasing the size as you go up. Was there a bioengineering reason for that with this particular pond, or were you just using what you could get?
it look so beautifully but don't get more wrong i think pond/pool era is to square to me it look like more like a pool then a pond if i was home owner i wouldn't make that pool era so square make it look like more like a pond but it does still look beautiful
Ok, so nobody is guna talk about all that algae? I don't think I've ever seen one of your builds show that amount before, especially at 13:55. What's the deal?
Sickest negative edge .looks like it's at the top of a mountain .crazy absolutely gorgeous
Still can't get over this build. Location is incredible but somehow this fits so seamlessly. Perfect for that family that wants "the best of both worlds". It's in my top 3 of your always amazing work.
Thank you! It was a very cool project to work on.
Oh, that is one of the most beautiful ponds you've done yet that I've seen. Serene!
That negative edge is 🔥🔥🔥💕
Beautiful beautiful beautiful pond.
I DON'T THINK WORDS SUCH AS AMAZING OR WOW OR GORGEOUS OR AWESOME ARE PROPER OR FITTING FOR THIS! THIS IS A LEVEL ABOVE ALL OTHERS.
Wow, thank you!
I like the combination of the formal with the natural
Absolutely love the mix of formal and natural. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!❤
Absolutely stunning !!!
I think this is by far your best pound to date..
So sick beats a normal chlorine pool any day what a view the negative edge and waterfall looks awesome
This is my absolute favourite! Perfection!
Thank you for taking us along on such a beautiful adventure.
Thanks for coming along 💪
That is spectacular. What a view.
This might be my favorite one. Something about the formality of a traditional shape mixed with the natural organic shapes elevates it to perfect restraint and balance. Well done!
That's simply breathtaking. It it was my place, I would've chosen to put it way closer to the house, negative edge towards me. :)
All 4 parts so epic! Talk about Bells and Whistles!! Awesome video braddah all 4 parts!🤙🏽💯❤️

Thanks, Bobby!
Wow. You said it Jaak...AMAZING...and that VIEW!
Grand-slam homerun.
😲😲😲😲😲 I love it!
Yes yes yes 🔥🔥🔥
Simply gorgeous. It's like they found a big natural spring and decided to build a swimming pool fed by it. There are a couple of actual places like that in Texas. If I had the room (and the money!) I'd definitely love to have something like this!
That IS the money shot
WOW
SUPERB 🥳
Absolutely beautiful Jaak!
Thanks, John!💪
Love it ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗
Loved watching all this build. That's a pond I could enjoy! You know that took a lot of work to look that good. Keep them coming! 👌
Thanks 💪
That looks amazing, you and Allen did a fantastic job!
Thanks, Lee 💪
Never fear Jaak. Alan exudes confidence. 😁 wow! That came out absolutely beautiful. I wasn't sure about the design, but it is spot on. Love the infinity edge. Great work by both teams
It looks really nice but I like the more natural look.
Wow!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I was having trouble seeing where this was going. Seeing it completed, though? One word - fantastic! You guys killed it with this one.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Best project I’ve seen This would look great on a property in Pagosa Springs 🤷🏽♂️
Cooooooool jack
Wow Jaak so many different elements of this build that are awesome breathtaking unique … Decker is a bit optimistic there on his timeline at the end 😎Jaak “yeah; you’re ambitious bud” “🫤my neck hurts”😂
Very nice!!
Perfect! ❤

Beauty job!
Thanks, Alicia!
Unreal. You two are really the leaders in this field.
I love this. Insanely well done job...just look via video is amazing 😍
This is the chicest project you’ve done
Amazing
I wasnt sure when You started this project but it looks amazing.
It’s looks like an outside Roman bath…. awesome guys
Thank you!
Absolutely love it!!!
It’s an epic congratulations
Thanks, Peter!
Jaak and Alan are the preemo designers on the east coast. I love their RUclips videos!!!

I forgot to mention that I love that negative edge.
It is awesome. 👍🙂❤
I live in Belgium and your videos make me dream. You and your team are doing fantastic work. Long live your channel
Whoever is doing the drone work NICE JOB!!
My favorite pond/falls yet.
You guys would LOOOOOVE me if I won the lottery!!!
Wow, wow, wow! It’s beautiful. I would never leave home with this in my backyard.
Atlantis and Decker’s hit this one out of the park, truly amazing! I wasn’t sure after the 1st video about how it would work, formal and natural, but wow, awesome job! I’m super jealous of those homeowners. Perfect marriage or styles there.
I'm still hoping you make that "B-Roll compilation" I mentioned a while ago, If you do make it, add this to it.
Incredible work by both crews.
This one looks so beautiful! I love watching your videos! I tried to create a small pondless waterfall that I could see from my kitchen window. This was before I discovered your videos. I spent hours and hours 3 years ago trying to create something beautiful...needless to say...I need to start over...sigh.
Keep at it!
Wow 😮 that is awesome!!! Love the formal style 👏
I appreciate the work. Final product looks great. For me, the natural look in that space would have been loads better.
Just like your two teams, this one blended together seamlessly. You had us all wondering, but you guys definitely pulled this off. It doesn't get any better than this! Congratulations.
Thanks, Jenny 💪

That negative edge dropping out to that view looks sick!
You asked if I would put a formal style pond like this in my yard, and my answer is definitely yes! Did I just now win one ?
Not that cool...
JUST KIDDING, you guys make a dream team and the work is stellar, those large block stones are amazing, such a unique project. Way to push the boundaries of art and science!
Thank you, Kevin!
Classy and natural and the same time. I could go for something like that. Oh wait, don't have the room or the money. haha. That turned out fantastic Jaak! You all out did yourselves.
Another AMAZING creation y’all! I know the family will enjoy it for many years to come, 💖🙋♀️🇨🇱
Thank you, Linda 💪
Jack and Allen, well done!! I think I prefer the more natural ponds that you built in the past, but it is cool!!
Wonderfully done!!!! With you diversifying this way should bring only success to your endeavors.
It looks amazing, love the formal square pond it has many natural rock elements you'd never see in a pool , it's unique the wet lands, the edge and water falls are just so beautiful, great job guy's !!

Love it, that's like what I'm going to do :-) About half the size though.
Beautiful in its own rights but I still prefer your natural rec ponds. Am I a pool, am I a pond, I don't know?🤪
Yes the first one and the first comment ❤❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m a sucker for the natural-looking pond, but this looks incredible! The amount that it matured in just a few months is fantastic!

Was there a bioengineering reason for that with this particular pond, or were you just using what you could get?
Beautiful project! How much power does it use to run the pumps? How much water did you import?
it look so beautifully but don't get more wrong i think pond/pool era is to square to me it look like more like a pool then a pond if i was home owner i wouldn't make that pool era so square make it look like more like a pond but it does still look beautiful
I grew up in Hudson Valley,
I love this..esp the natural looking interior and the negative edge. Guesstimate in pricing? I'm saving my coins!!
6 figures
At 4:10 I spy a Padron… 💨
Ha ha first person 🤣 😄 😆 😅
Great job loved it
It does look very clean the formal style mixed in with those big rocks. I still like the more natural look but I would not say no to this pond.
I would rather have that semi formal pond over a traditional concrete swimming pool 100 out of 100 times
Do all the aquatic plants have to be replaced every year?
No, there are perennial and annual plants. Some like water lilies can be used every year but they have to be taken out in the colder climates.
Ok, so nobody is guna talk about all that algae? I don't think I've ever seen one of your builds show that amount before, especially at 13:55. What's the deal?
That’s string algae. Pretty common in a new pond, especially in the waterfalls in full sun ☀️
The house isn't worth it. Buy the water feature and get the house for free lol
I want almost the same thing as this pond , how much did this cost
