This past week I linked up with some friends to build this awesome DIY pond down in Florida! It was a lot of fun and I think the results are incredible. Although we worked together, I think this could easily be done as a solo operation or with a different group of people. I want to know what you think, though. Let me know in the comments!

I'm impressed by how natural it looked at the end.

TANNER. NO WAY. I actually am in the process of building a pond for my painted turtles out of two stock tanks! One is buried and the other small one will be above with a spillway!! Im so excited to watch this because I've been on my own for the whole process so far. This will be a great way to get ideas and some instruction for my project! My bigger pond is already buried, and im getting the pump set up for the spillway one right now.. just not sure how to make sure it spill correctly yet. Ive never found a video so unexpectedly relevant haha, thanks for making this!!

Wow quite a few of those moments looked hernia-inducing. I hope everyone is okay (albeit possibly nothing more than a bit sore with a few scrapes surely) and the whole thing turned out beautifully as always!

I actually only get a hernia doing crunches 🤣 this wasn't bad!

Even though i have no idea about landscaping or building ponds I still love watching all of these videos its just so calming and onistly makes me learn 1 or 2 things each video

1:04 felling a tree with a bunch of competent and handy folks and it still almost hits two people. From my own experience and hearing from others, it never ceases to amaze me how hard it is to fell a tree safely.

Sounds like someone got their groove back ;) What a great build; this project in particular really feels like one of your miniature manufactured landscape terrarium builds scaled up to the human aspect ratio, or I suppose in this case turtle aspect ratio. The channel has come a long way, I would include SerpaDesign on a list of replacements to broadcast programs on networks such as HGTV. I'm so glad you are able to showcase this talent you have been developing throughout your life, and that you genuinely want to share not just the content of your creations, but the knowledge and experience you have devoted so much of your time and self in pursuit of. Para-socialism goes both ways; I enjoy your channel because of what you choose to present, and 'chat' can be a hive-mind of self-absorbed individual demands, finding and maintaining a healthy balance is incredibly difficult, I think you're handling it well but hey, don't forget to breathe sometimes. Take care and peace Serpa-Dude.

I live in Thailand and I really like what you guys do.❤❤❤

good that bracing was added , the top cut off part is actually bracing

Incredible, looks like it's been there for years. Love to curved palm over the stone.

OMG, my favorite people all in a video .. I can't wait 🍿!! I need to find some tubs like this for my above ground pond, I'm trying to my make for our 1 turtle 🥰🐢! This looks amazing 🤩!!

I really appreciate your speaking about difficulties, as well as various ways of solving problems. "Incredible stump". Indeed! Your imagination never ceases to amaze me.

Oh to be an animal owned by tanner. The plants really bring everything together for me, everything seems so bare and sparse until all the green is added. Not to mention the colorful rocks and darker mulch!

Long time subscriber but haven't comented that much. It make me so happy to see you building bog filters. Totally in line with nature. I spend a lot of time getting koi keepers to understand how awsome they are for pristine water quality. Your execution of it is as expectet. Great work Tanner!

Im really excited to see this. I have a pond I built when I moved in and it has a little waterfall with a pump in the bottom of the pond. I have to constanly clean the pump so I want to enlarge the pond and incorporate a bog. This helped me envision it better and gives me motivation. As always I love your content.

That has got to be one of the most beautiful ponds I have ever seen.

Six guys hauling in a log…”We added branches.” Epic! 🙌🏻

Lime stone also keeps the ph from dropping, high Ph in the beginning of a pond build, but later it will be crashing and the limestone is awesome to counteract that drop.

Lucky turtles! Go make babies in the beautiful bog pond. So fantastic. This is my favorite pond build yet!

The pond looks naturally beautiful! Well done Tanner.

Tanner, your channel is a gift. You have inspired hundreds if not thousands of people to develope a passion for landscaping and terrerium building and you teach good, sustainable values at that. Because of your work I have been inspired to build a pond and eventually a cohesive, healthy landscape in my currently shabby back yard. I have been watching your videos and many others and have been deep in my notebooks planning every detail. I will dedicate my pond to you when its done!

Inspiring video. I am just starting almost from scratch to landscape my entire yard. I had planned on taking advantage of a shady corner for a woodland garden. From your example, I see I need a water feature.

This pond is really beautiful. I enjoyed watching Dan's video and Greg's preview video too, I appreciate getting to know Charlie a little bit through your videos. Thank you.

Semi exotic waterfowl, gamebirds and doves look fantastic in setups like this, as well, plants can be a bit more tricky and the have to be full enclosed.

Beautiful! I am so green with envy, I sucked the color right out of the turtles.

I love how this turned out! You're right, I would have no idea this was made of stock ponds :0 Also, the editing on this video is amazing. I really love the pacing of everything.

Came out great I absolutely love it 🙌 I hope you all have a great day and enjoy your weekend 🙋‍♂️✌️

The long neck turtle I rescued today would love this! Well done guys!❤️🇦🇺

Certainly the most naturalistic honeymoon suite I've ever seen!

this is gorgeous! I am so proud you came up with this!! can you do a follow-up when we get some albino bebes?

Nice team work! It was beautiful and functional. Congratulations. I wish the turtles a long life. Cristina Pinto, São Paulo, Brazil 👏👏👏🤗❤❤🇧🇷

Gorgeous! I can't create anything like this but you've given me some ideas to head for this look in my garden.

This is so gorgeous! I love the peaceful sounds of the waterfall. Those turtles are so lucky!

Very cool Tanner! Nobody could notice that this little piece of jungle started with stocking mini pools! Thanks for sharing 😎👌

Greg’s turtlehaven has the exact same footage from a different angle. It’s also a great video of the build.

Great work in disguising the stock ponds. Loads of inspiration for scaling down to a small pond for small fish and frogs. Thanks for the video!

This is ultimate "me and the boys" energy and I love it Looks amazing btw :)

Beautiful 😍 looks so natural. What a great job you all did 👏 You looked happier and I'm hoping you are 🙏💚

So interesting and amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing this collaboration. I’ve always said when you’re doing what you love, it isn’t work. It’s obvious you all are doing what you love.

The result is really beautiful! Watching the whole process from start to finish is very informative and inspiring. You all did a great job, even the turtles approve!

Absolutely looks like it’s both natural and been there for years. Beautiful work. Those are some lucky turtles (and hopefully baby turtles to be).

I got to admit I was a little skeptical when I saw the ponds you were working with prior to starting. Boy was I wrong, it looks amazing! Well done fellas!!

charlie is gonna have little baby cute albino snapping turtles

This is so good! I want to copy this one. Thanks for all the great content, Tanner. Take care.

Art , pure art ! Wish I could do this... 😅

That stock pond creation came out beautiful, extremely natural and functional, nice collaboration!!

How much does something like this cost? Obviously elminating the need for hiring people to install it for you, just the plants and basins and pumps and that because you got a decent amount from the forest

super cool. very nice idea with the lava rock bog on top

That is so cute! They looked like "HEY! For me?!" 10:54

It's crazy that during construction these ponds look terrible but at some point everything comes together and they end up quite easy on the eyes. Great job, the finished product is so far removed from the stock ponds used. A great demonstration of your skills!

absolutely love it. I'd love something like that in my garden. Great work 👏

So much skill, talent, hard work and creativity. Great job! Looks incredible!!

Them common albino snapper are beautiful 😍

what a terrific experience. After having to dismantle your own pond I'm sure this went a great way towards filling that mental space for you. Lucky us for being able to come along in the journey.
