It's beautiful and tranquilt!😇 Add more different plants in the water; perhaps lotus, lilies, edible watercrest. Decomposed plants is fish food. Live plants purify the water. Plants shade from the sun, reduce algea, attracts wildlife like butterfly, dragon fly and create fish habitat! Keep up the good work! 👍 Thank you for sharing! 🙏
So clear! How much have you spent on equipment maintenance? I know these are more expensive to do than normal pools, but I’d like to imagine the maintenance over time is a cost savings!
Do you have trouble w/ snakes? We have a large 1+ acre pond w/ a natural fresh water spring but slow moving. My grandparents had catfish in it but now (40+ yrs) it’s just bass & whatever it’s slowly caving in from 2 sides & the damn on 1 side needs fixing. It’s filling in & much more shallow. They drained it twice but that was like 30 yrs ago. Question…..we are going to drain & dredge it & fix the damn where trees have grown full size & some died the roots leaving holes. Looking at $12,000. or so to have it done & wondering if we could do this for not too much more. I have the plants natural there as well as water plants from another smaller front pond that used to have perch but now who knows.?Mostly snakes & frogs.
@@sheilahenry7279 hi there. I’m an absolute DIYer. If you’re willing to put in the elbow grease I promise you you can do it for a whole lot less than $12,000. It sounds like you have an existing pond that is fine it just needs a little work on the dam which is fairly simple work to do. As for the dredging there will be a little bit more of a challenge. But you may need to do is block off the incoming spring and routed out from the pond and then drain your pond down to the bottom to allow you to excavate it exactly the way you want. Then refill in stock add your plants and you’ll have a beautiful pond!
@@powercube2156do you think I can accomplish this same look with sodium bentonite clay pond liner, garden soil on top of that, pond or pool sand on top of that with oxygenating plants (thrasher than a pump or fikter) planted in about 80% of that and then some plant eating fish some algae eating fish some insect eating fish and some fresh water mussels (rather than a pump or filter) and snails to filter the water?
That is amazing. Especially with the fish in there. You should be very proud of your creation. I wish to have something like this one day.
Good
Life goals... Its beautiful. I´m still digging mines

I would never shut up about this if I built it you really did an AMAZING job
Ha, ha… me too. I’d be a great while!
Magnificent.Great to see a pond build without using a liner, and thus a truly natural pond.
The liner is hidden
@@EdisonBryanhow do you know?
@@SherrickDuncan Still got water in it isa good hint mate.
@@jsmith8646 you don't have to have a plastic liner to have water still in your pond.
@ Mate if they are calling it a pond the inference is man made so it will have a liner of some sort. Otherwise you would just call it a dam.
Great. I had no clue that I wanted one of these. One more thing to do today. Thanks
😂 me too!😂
Wow, that is so beautiful!!!
Wow it looks so natural, brilliant work. 👏
A wonderful project 😮
Awesome and very clean!
It's absolutely Gorgeous for real
Absolutely stunning ❤❤❤❤❤
Very cool I’m currently dreaming of one

Gorgeous!
Guys, absolutely beautiful
Lovely beautiful miracle nature super video hatsapp sir 👍👌💐😘❤️
Absolutely magnificent
Could provide an estimate if your monthly maintenance costs? How much electricity does it take to run the pumps?
There are solar pumps.
Incredible
This is beautiful. Is this self sustaining? What is the expected maintenance price to keep these healthy for the fish?
Gorgeous
Just beautiful
Unrealistic things to have in my backyard 😂 great work mate!
Who knows mate you might win lotto.
Love it ❤
Fantastic pond! But a question: How do you stop water fowls from fishing in your pond?
By using your pond and your fish
as hunter bait and then hunting
and eating the birds that inevitably
try. Same thing with gardens
and deer. 😂
What if hard raining,? Is it flood,? Overflow,?
Some more cleaner fish, and harvestable plants?
Wow it looks so good! Do you have Pictures of the rest of the landscaping and swimming hole?

Also how wide,
how long and how
deep is this pond?
This is my idea of heaven.
Beautiful! Wauw
Is there a filter? Nice work!
How can u keep the water clean
No problems with algies considering the fishes ?
Beautiful!
Beautiful
when it rains a lot, is ok to overflow ?
Do you have a video on how you made this?
I do not have a video but if you go to the r/diy subreddit my build album for the pond is the alltime top post. 😀
How wide, how long
and how deep is
this pond?
Who built your you're natural pool that's so clear.
Do you get snakes in there? Or other critters? All good but I want to know. ❤
Of course but depends where you live you get more bug's drawn to the water. You can spray and cut out different plants and etc for bug's.
@@bradleypoole4809 depends on how much aquatic life you have.
If you have a good balance it should technically almost be free from bugs.
Is it sand at the bottom?
Goals!
OMG I'm jealous
Hello, is there a liner that you used?
❤❤❤
No mosquito nest?
❤
awesome!
How do you get it so clear??
natural pools clean themselfs with the plants that are planted
A liner
👏👏👏
Wow
My dream
Heaven ✨
Add koi, and bass
What if some snakes start living there? Isn't that scary?
As long as you don't live in Australia snakes don't really do much
This is a dream of mine ❤
How much did it cost you. I would love to swim my fish food too. Is sunperch, blue Gill , Catfish, Big mouth bass, and Impossibly crawfish.
Shame the noisy sprinkler was on in the background …
That’s the waterfall you hear. 😀
"Natural swim pond" Also known as a pond.
Can't swim in the pond behind my house...
🧠
What is your yearly expense for this project? Lookin good!!
No fish
You blind ?
pukur
you should have some catfish and trout
when are you going to open the seafood company because i see food in your pond
and my fishing pole is lonely
you feed the fish?
