@@GregWittstockThePondGuy There's no doubt, your step by step method is the easiest way to make sure a DIYer like me gets everything right. It leaves tons of room to customize to fit someone's own vision, and lots of leeway for needed adjustments like the one that's probably the biggest hurdle for a solo builder - getting and placing bigger rocks. I learned the hard way that all rocks are different - and granite is heavy! Using the biggest rocks you can makes it look so much better, but it's the single hardest part of a DIY build. In the end it's all worth it though, and the Aquascape videos are a godsend for us home builders. Serpa's is a great example and shows what it's really like for a one man crew, great job!

Your mom brought tears to my eyes! Perfect content!

This project is worth more than my car, i can only hope to one day hire a professional landscape artist to do this much manual labor and design work

Aw that genuine joy and gratitude is so heartwarming ❤️ I love my mom but she takes my art for granted. I don’t give her anything I make anymore because she just nitpicks and critiques it. In fact I hardly ever give away my art. I’m leaving my current job to become a full time painter soon and I can’t wait to find people who are that happy to receive something I’ve created 😌

You're so lucky you live in a naturally lush and green place! 😭😭 I live in the bone dry deserts of southern Utah. Of course, the desert has its own beauty, but I've always wanted a more lush yard that doesn't require me to use excessive amounts of water, especially with the droughts we get here.

You know a green house can be very beautiful and lush like in many botanical gardens. It doesn't have to be plastic. The green house will prevent evaporation and protect a pond.

That pond looks like something Mother Nature created 🔥

your moms reaction is priceless! An idea for the over flow, create a bamboo or beachwood cap then place a potted plant on top maybe? possibly a citrus tree they can bring back inside during the winter months, Who doesn't like fresh citrus right?

I am in the middle of building a pond and this vid helped me get a good idea of how to lay the liner. Great vid and awesome build.

Beautiful!

This is the kind of video that gives me pond fever and makes me consider pricing sandstone. Lol

I was like, "uhhh ok but where's the _moss_ ?" * 13:44 * "ayyyyyy _moss_ "

Your mother is so blessed to have such a thoughtful and loving son. She did a great job raising you!

Your parents are lucky to have raised a son like yourself 😊

If my son built me a pond like this , I would be beside it every day. Well done you. I love it.

I like the way you detail the process and label the materials that you are using. May your channel prosper and have a merry Christmas; from Kenya.

This is amazingly beautiful and she's lucky to have such a thoughtful creative son ❤

Can you please come and make THIS mama a pond too? Just the little portion at the end that you showed of the pond and all the plants and flowers, with the sound of the running water had a pretty profound effect on my body. I could feel inside my chest my body relax. And after the past few days of Russia attacking Ukraine, the continued COVID death and destruction news I really needed that. It’s very very beautiful. I’ve seen your thumbnails and know of you, I have snakes so our communities are just different fingers on the same hand. Now I have to go watch MORE! Good job, you’re a very good son to do that for your mama!

Tanners bad-A**,.. rocking out in mom’s backyard!! Wowsers buddy, amazing 🤩 Your mom is so sweet, ❤️

You did an amazing job! I’m glad your parents support you and appreciate your hard work.

Your parents have a creative and hardworking son!!! I would love to have that in my yard.

Remember when everyone hated on his first pond? Where are they now 😂 his work has always been amazing

It's so cute that your mom wore a fish shirt to see her new pond for the first time!

Absolutely beautiful. You definitely outdid yourself.

Beautiful job! I'll bet there aren't many pros that can do it as well!

I'm so glad that your mom liked it. I think we all did I mean who wouldn't. Keep it up. Good job and thanks you for sharing the knowledge. True experience. Blessings

LOL - Tanner, you know your mom will want a larger pond in the future. Don't we all ? Good Job. 😊

You did an absolutely incredible job. Wow. I'm saving this for future reference. I'd love to try doing something like this!

This was so cool! I am always such a huge fan of pond videos, so when my favorite aquascaper posts pond videos my day is automatically made. Thank you for this content, I hope your mom enjoys that pond to the fullest! Can't wait for an update

I love that instead of music the outro is just the sound of the pond he created.

That's so cool bro. That you can give your mom a gift like this that's so nice. Nothing compared to life she gave you but very nice.

YESSS more ponds ^-^

Beautiful job

Yeah, I heard that, Dad did all the work. Thank you it was beautiful work, young man.

What a lucky Mom you have! I hope She enjoys it for many, many years. Your poor legs though, they looked so beat up! I love to watch you plant, It reminds me of days when I could still do that.

Such a sweet thing to do for your parents! Love it my friend.

It looks great! Good luck getting Mom out of the backyard now 😂

I wanna see you build a HUGE pond. One with many waterfalls and other smaller ponds too. Maybe with upper, middle and lower ponds
