- Koi, ponds and Pondless waterfalls, are highlighted on our Summer Pond Tours. Waterfalls disappearing into pondless basins, beautiful landscapes and more. Find inspiration and creative ideas from this video showcasing waterfalls and ponds filled with Koi fish all installed by The Pond Digger.
Hep pond Digger and everone that watches his videos , I have seen all of his videos (some twice) and I just watched this one in High Def ! I didn't even knoe I could watch videos in high Def. untill now. I am now going to watch all of these videos again in HD because it is so much clearer ! The colours an marks that are in the Rocks is what makes watching it in HD soooooo much better !!!
Big money can be spent on even a smaller pond. It's all relative to goals of the homeowner. And the Job of the homeowner! :)
We have large ponds that we have created with small budgets. When planted correctly around landscape of the pond it can look like big money was spent after it all fills in.
We assist many do-it-yourselfer pond enthusiasts create great features on shoe string budgets. Where there is desire and passion, there is a way!
The Pond Digger
Yeah, boys will be boys!

VERY NICE , WELL PLANED PONDS
always enjoy watching your videos.
We do recommend bottom drains in many of our pond designs. We use the Koi Toilet bottom drains with much success.
We will be shooting video on bottom drain installation but can not give you a time frame at this moment as we have other video shoots planned ahead of it.
The Pond Digger
We might be shooting a bottom drain video next week. If all works out in the shoot & editing we should have it hit RUclips in a week or so.
The bottom drain plumbing on the project is complete so the video's focus will be on making a water tight seal between the liner and the bottom drain.
Good news is we have two different bottom drains on the job and both of them are aerated so it should be and interesting and informative video.

Thank you very much!
The Pond Digger
Thanks for the kind comment!
this just makes me want to build more and more onto my pond!
Great videos, and good choice in plants. I love aquatic plants.
We have paused for a spell as we moved our business location. We have moved to a bigger and better location and it took time away from shooting video.
We are waiting for spring to shoot our final Waterfall Construction Video BUT we are actually shooting a Solar Pump Video next weekend!
It will air in the spring. We are also in the middle of updating our online store which is taking up a pile of our time.
Rest assured we will be blasting some cool videos in the coming months. Stay tuned!
Your goldfish will make the transition with ease. One thing to note. Introduce the goldfish to their new environment when the outside temperature is mild. Don't make the move to outside in the dead of winter or the middle of the summer. The move would be best mid spring to early summer. Good luck,

@sneakerhead891 Thanks for the feedback on our videos. Much appreciated.
Beautiful. I find ponds / fish / waterfalls really relaxing . I could sit there with a beer on a nice evening and just chill :) watching the world go by
Yes all of the ponds and waterfalls in this video have a rubber EPDM liner. Thanks for the compliment and the comment!
The Pond Digger
i often show emotion around such beauty
Thanks Kent!
Very nice!
this is art!
Thanks for stopping in to see out latest video and we appreciate the comment!
The Pond Digger
You should get the koi that capture your interest. There are many to choose from. Take this advise. Start with Kohaku and End with Kohaku. That is a must!
Thanks!
On most goldfish and koi pond designs you want to cycle the pond water one to two times per hour. We do the cycle with a pump, frequently submerged in a skimmer, pushing the water through filtration and over the waterfall.
We're glad to help you design your system if you need help. Let me know.
The Pond Digger
Kollngi you super! Your video is lifted by a mood.
Goldfish do great in ponds. Quantity of fish will depend on the size of your pond.
I have never kept Golden Orfes. Here in California they are not legal. The Golden Orfe can get fairly large so I would recommend building a swim stream approximately 16" to 18" in depth for a comfortable swimming area. 10" to 14" depth is cutting it a bit close for comfort. The fish will be very susceptible to getting caught by predators in a shallow depth like that so make the stream wide and give them access to deeper water if possible. Good Luck.
The Pond Digger
@hiPlasma Thanks for the suggestion. I will put that on our list of things to do.
Glad we could help!
HD Rules, I agree. Heck, I'm gonna watch them all again too! Love your passion!
The Pond Digger
Yes all of the ponds were installed by my team. Thanks for the comment on the 10 year old eco system. It's one of my personal ponds.
The Pond Digger
We are posting videos again. hope you noticed! We are getting ready to lay down a long video series. Set is under construction now! Brace yourself!
Cats are typically not a problem unless the pond is very small. A pond smaller than 8 x 8 could be considered a "dinner plate" for predators.
There are several things you will need to make a great environment for your painted turtle. Be sure to watch our Turtle Pond Design Video for some important tips.
Your Painted will become more tame as you get to know each other and you will find that he/she will eat other prepared foods besides goldfish. I have no doubt you will be able to add other turtles and fish into your pond.
Post a video when you start rocking!
The Pond Digger
Very cool video! Thanks to YOU for sharing this with me. LOVE the dragonfly footage!!!!
That's one way to look at it. I like your perspective!
That is the point. Escape in your water feature.....
We'll let you live! Keep Rockin!
The Pond Digger
Nice work and videos.
im in the uk lol we are alowed them and thanks for advice :)
Awesome video P'Dgr. Its a shame I missed it....
Very nice work on these ponds , they look amazing and some would be such a peaceful place to relax at .
Cheers
Ok I have watched every single video that you have made nd ikm really impressed
Thank you for the comment! Ponds Rule!
The Pond Digger
Muchas Gracias!
@MAD2be1 Always enjoy the feedback!
We have kept tropical fish in some of these ponds however they need to be removed before winter because our water temperatures drop down into the low 50's to high 40's! Tropical fish would perish in these cool temperatures.
Are they all your work? Nice job on the video. The ponds are beautiful. Awesome use of stone ,bolders and plants in the 10 yr. old ecosystem.
We use a variety of different sized gravel in most of our waterfalls and streams. Dirt from the aquatic plants we don't worry about as it adds to the natural feel.
It's great for relaxing..
Much thanks!
love it , i love it its really cool , amazing
@AquaticNERD777 Salmon tacos! Yum....
@iSim0641 Frogs are not a problem. At least our local tree frogs. Bull frogs can be a problem for small koi. We do worry about raccoons and giant fish eating birds!
We used submersible pumps on this pond but we frequently use external pumps on our installations.
Thank you!
mis respetos para ustedes que tienen tan buen corazon de crear un pedacito de cielo aqui en la tierra... me gustaria muchisimo tener el conocimiento para poder hacer algo similar...
HEH HEH, attack of the koi! lol
Breathtaking.
MO GAINS Thank you!
Can't pick 1 I like better ,they are all great
What is the temperature that they are at currently? What climate do you live in? When they are cold they slow way down and try to hibernate depending on the environment you are providing for them. If the temperature is warm and they are not acting normal then there are many differen things that could be the matter. I'll watch for your reply and do what I can to help you out!
The Pond Digger
look so good. it's my dream pond.. :) but i would love pond deeper.. so koi will more happiness..
Amazing best vid I've watched all day !!
+Eve Parkin You're the best Eve! Thanks for watching!
We are based out of Southern California. Where are you located?
Southern California
soooo cool beutiful scene : )
Yeah I have the same feeling.......

At 5:58 you are showing a 10 year old Eco-System Pond. This is something that we are envisioning at our ranch home. The area we have to work with is 59 feet by 54 feet. We would like two waterfalls, a gazebo with the water going under it maybe half way and the pond at least 5 feet deep.
Hoping you will contact me again to get this project moving along within the next few months. Thanks Eric.
it is good from fishing!
If you know what you're doing and have the room to do it raising koi can be profitable.
this vid made me cry
Very nice set ups and could i have some advice if i had golden orfe and wanted a stream how deep would i need it for them to swim up and down it ?
Thank you for the complement. As a matter of fact, I do know a couple installers in Michigan. Tell me where about where you are in MI so I can connect you with one of our Helix Life Support Pond Filtration Systems specialists!
That graver you used in the waterfall, what is that? it looks so natural and mud like!!!
Do you recommend using a bottom drain? If so which type should i use? Can you make a video of how to install one?
Nice work and videos. I have a question. I live in the Eastern canada coast. what do we do with these waterfalls and the pump equipment in the winter seasons. We get minus 20-30celsius. Water freezes. Or does it freeze if you keep this running throught out the winter. I don't want to waste a few hundred dollars on my pump or weir bucket cracking up because of the freeze. Thanks for responding.
love your work and was wondering if you knew any good installers in Michigan?
beautiful work-i am inspired--- can you please tell me the pump size u used for this pond -what brand you recommend -and how much watt does it use-i am concerned about the electrical bill (-; love the videos thanks ...
We use 45 mil EPDM rubber liner in 99.99% of our installations.
excellent pondage I,m puting in a 4'-6' pond is that big enough for fish? if so how deep should the pond be and how many times a day should the whole pond be circulated?
a pond like this must attract frogs and other critters, are they safe for koi or you need to repell them
what type of pump did u guys use??
Nice
I have a couple Pond Installer buddies that live in Las Vegas. If you want I can connect you up with one of them and I'm sure we can find a home for your painted. Let me know.
The Pond Digger
i was having problems with mine till i saw how to do it properly
What happens when ite rains or snow?
I am a California Guy so I don't have experience with such severe temperatures. Hit my pond builder friend up in Minnesota and tell him I told you to call him. Jake from Aqua Eden. Google him. Best of luck to you.
The Pond Digger,
I'm getting a job so I can make a better home for my painted turtle :DDD. Is there any specific thing I may need to include for him? Just to add a side note he is wild and wont eat anything but small goldfish. Do you think if I brought fish or other turtles in the pond would there be any problems??
imagine adding salmon :0
hay wats the name of the liner u guys use
where is this?
What about the other .01 percent?
Could you put a red belly pacu in there
im in cass city its in the thumb
I don't understand.
Could you put goldfish in there
if so how many
China is hometown of Koi and goldfish, Chinese people develop koi and goldfish in the song dynasty about 900 years ago
Yes China is an ancient civilization with so much history!
@ThePondDigger or baked :)
what how?
