Hey Lee, thanks for commenting! I love building this way. The cleaning of these type of ponds does not have to be done very often. When they do it is only a big job, because it is a big pond, otherwise they stay pretty clean!

Amazing pond transformation! Thanks for sharing this awesome video. I will be digging my pond in the Spring. This video confirms the plans I have for my pond (except mine will be 1/4th the size). I was inspired by the rock retaining walls inside the pond backfilled with smaller stones.

Hi Debra! I agree, when designing a pond one of my goals is to have the pond, or any water feature, look like it occurred naturally. Sometimes achieving that is a challenge.

This was awesome! I have a small red eared slider turtle, and in a year or two, when it gets too large to keep indoors without needing a 100 some odd gallon tank. I plan on making my own pond for it (though nothing nearly as large as the one in the video, I don't even think my yard has the amount of square footage as that pond.)

Please revisit and see Koi

That’s not a pond, that’s a lake!!! Looks sweet though.

Those three hoses popping out of the water are extremely unnatural looking. A great start but ultimately incomplete.

Great looking project, not quite sure about actually building in the shelves, I would have kept the depth as the first selves and made it deeper in the center.

The koi were introduced after the video was shot.

Is it hard to keep gravel clean at the bottom?

A good pond doesnt need artificial filtering. A good selection of aquatic and bog Garden plants will do all the filtering and keep it natural and balanced. By the way, what happened to the frog?

@robertkocher3534

7 жыл бұрын

In theory, yes. However, did you see all of the trees around this pond? You will definitely need to skim the leaves off and maintain the skimmers.

What I'm wondering is how the duckweed got so overgrown when there were koi in the pond the whole time.

@thePondHunter

5 жыл бұрын

There were no koi, no fish at all, prior to the renovation of the pond.

That is a fantastic job! Can this pond also be swam in without hurting the liner? How long will this pond typically last before everything has to be pulled back out and the liner replaced? Thanks.

@thePondHunter

7 жыл бұрын

Hi Jason. The pond was not really designed for humans to swim in it, but it is big enough and 3' deep in most of it, so if someone chose to go into it and splash around they certainly could; and its nice filtered water. The liner has a manufacture rated 40 year life expectancy, but they can last longer when covered over and protected with rock and gravel.
