This POND YOU swim in!
I'm in Omaha NE visiting a recreational pond that Ed the Pond Professor built along with a few other CACs in 2021. The homeowner was thinking about a getting a pool but then realized that a swim pond would give them enjoyment year round instead of just a few months out of the year.
I had to jump in swim and play with the kids and capture some great underwater footage.
Also in the backyard is a tree house that I relax in waiting for the kids to get home from school.

Geezzzz...... it amazes me how crystal clear that water is. The water is so clear that the pond looks empty.
I enjoyed watching the build and I’m so glad that you came back and showed us the transformation! It can only get better from here!
A swimming pond like that in the courtyard is my dream house!!! Seeing the water from every room!🤗😍😍
I started thinking I need an in ground pool on my 1/2 acre lot, here in Kansas, so I started looking around KZread to see what other people are doing. I ran across Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy and knew right off, this is what I want in my yard, Koi fish and all!
I think it’s stunning, but if I could do one, I would omit all the boulders in the swimming area. I would leave a wide open swim corridor so I wouldn’t have to worry about bumping into rocks while trying to swim , jump, or splash around. But everything else is perfect!
I can't believe this is in NE! Looks like the PNW!! What a great job Ed did. It's beautiful!!!

Thanks!
Thank you to the men in society that provide things like this for people and work so very hard!! If it weren't for hardworking men willing to get dirty, sweaty, hot, and do all the jobs no one wants to do to provide us with the infrastructure everyone wants, we wouldn't have most of what we have!
OMG!! I just started looking at KZread videos about recreational ponds, and this is figuratively in my back yard! I live in Omaha. This pond is gorgeous!! 😍 I’ve just started to dream about something like this. I’d add a slide and maybe koi or native fish like bluegills and minnows. And I love all the frogs! God loves frogs! 😍🐸 Sooo beautiful!!! 💝
Laura from Garden Answer brought me here. I've watched several of your videos since you installed Laura an Aaron's pond. It was so amazing to watch then the finish, I was in awe of everything. This one also is just amazing. Your customers all have nothing but positive things to say. That means it all to a company.
Good morning Greg hope your having an amazing day wow I love how this rec pond looks today. Seeing the kids enjoy themselves outside is truly an amazing thing these days for sure. Games have taken over the youth of this generation and anyone that can put a pond in you will finally get your kids back outside and beeing kids again. Looks fantastic like always. Hope you have an amazing week and I'll see you next video like always

Like I've been saying, it is hard to make up one's mind. Each pond is unique in it own way. It is so nice from waning to swimming. That is so gorgeous to be able to come home from working all day and dip to cool off one's feet and relax into nature. Heaven sent.
I remember this build and it has filled in so beautifully. This is such a great rec pond and I love that tree house. What a phenomenal job Ed did on this. God bless
Wow, wow, wow! It’s incredible.
Wow what a beautiful beautiful pond. I wonder if I could do something like this in SE Arizona.
Hi Greg. How are you Sir? I can really see why this recreation Pond is One of your personal favourites. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful. It is wonderful to have something that the whole family can enjoy and interact with wildlife. I appreciate you sharing. Thankyou very much boss. See you in the next One. Take care Sir. 👍😊❤️
Beautiful!!!! Simply beautiful!!!!
ponds = year round enjoyment!

Hello dear how are you doing?
That is an amazing pond Greg. So wicked that it's a pool too and the best is that there no chemicals and comes with a waterfall to sit under. They should get some fish that eat the algae. A 10/10 for this fabulous waterfall/pond/pool. 👌
This is our yard dream. We have an extra acre that we could put something fun on with picnic spots and a walking/biking path
Absolute paradise!
Pond goals!!!
looks awesome. cant wait to see it again next year.
Lord ! What a pond

I really appreciate the work you do and include your existing projects. totally a legit boost to join aqua life
I would dig one of those ponds. The fishing would always be great in my pond.
Gorgeous, sure would like to experience this one day.
Love it..they need a swing!
This is a killer pond.
Did I miss it or you haven't done a video yet on the pump out procedure once a year? I'm curious how the clean out is done, what it entails using the cleanout snd the centipedes. Thank you.

Lots on Team Aquascape on KZread and www.aquascapeinc.com
I almost can't watch this through shear jealousy. I don't want to see it in 2 or 3 years as my head will pop off with the green eyed monster........stunning!
Just beautiful 🎉
I absolutely love it!
This a dream come true..Awesome
Wow… a total dream!
I believe this is my video favourite Greg, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing 💚🌍
Awesome!!
Beyond gorgeous
That looks amazing!!
So beautiful!
Super cute!..I Love seeing this.. but I wont be doing this bc I rather have a pool , warmer , cleaner and I can close once winter arrives (lol) clean , no frogs_lol, No garden snakes..etc
Beautiful!
Greg, I watch pretty much all of your videos. I am jumping into the Aquascape lifestyle on my new property in Georgia. I couldn't locate a contractor that would take on my project, so as a contractor myself I am doing it solo. Would love to be able to send you photo's and get some feed back on how I can make it the most epic it can be. Thanks
Hi Greg, this is so awesome! I can’t wait until next year as well. Hope you’re having an amazing week so far. Keep practicing your cartwheels, I promise you will get it😂! -your friend, Brinlee, from the Adamson family. (It’s looking so great right now In April, it’s healthy, and I can’t wait to see it when it’s so nice and green again.)
Awesome
Beautiful, love this ❤
Just awesome!

Stunning
As usual…just 👍

Looks very nice. I have seen a pond liner longevity comparison. Some brands of pond liners last for a reasonable amount of time. Time does go by fast, so what happens when the pond liner is at the failure phase of its life cycle? Does the homeowner have a contractor rip everything out and start over?
Stunning🤩 !!!!!
Beautiful!! I can’t tell you how much I have google the type of filters you incorporate into your ponds coming up empty handed. I knew it was out there. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to build a recreation pond especially of this caliber!! Yet I want to know everything about them, how they work!! I am so curious. I know if I ever to get a swim area I want the recreational pond!!! I want more info!!
Finally Subbed to your Channel Greg! We're bidding our 1st Rec Pond, & our Owner Heath FINALLY made it to Aqualand... he drank the Koolaid & has a new level of passion for the 'Aquascape Lifestyle' baby! Thanks for sharing your passion, being true to your gifts, & your hard work over all these years Brutha!
Absolutely beautiful. But with all the rocks could someone get hurt jumping in?
Awesome!
Man I love your videos. We bought a house two years ago with a 40-year-old pond in the backyard that has never been taken care of. Now it's surrounded by trees, so you can imagine the mess. I wish you could see it and give me pointers.
Very nice awesome job
WOWZA!!!!!!!
So cool
What a dream backyard 😍. Absolutely stunning. Greg do you have a link or know of a qualified Aquascape pond artist here in Perth Western Australia?
Great job!
I am planning to build one of these wonders in my new house. What do you do with fallen leaves or generally decaying organic mater at the bottom of the pond? Surely when you go swimming in, it stirs a lot of things up and muddies the water....A local constructor here tells me i need a 6000euro cleaning pump to enjoy a good swim. Thougths?
Greg I finally have my aquascape pond it’s small but my backyard isn’t huge I have put in a Bali hut now my pond now waiting for plants to grow. Little dog shihtzu x Maltese fell in the other day got such a fright one year old puppy. My son I law said how can you swim in that pond and be healthy his pool he has to make sure is healthy with chlorine can’t make him understand sadly

Maybe have him wander around your pond and look at it and smell it: does he smell any foul odors? See any algae bloom? No? Maybe invite him to bring a water test kit to test for bacteria in it?
Your a lucky guy ☺️
My Koi would love that.
I was wondering if you had a list of installers around the country, particularly in the panhandle of Florida that build these natural swimming ponds?
Do you also supply the water initially ?
The pond is worth more than the house!

I doubt it, looking at the house… but if it is, so what?
Greg quick question.. wouldn't you use ultraviolet lights to kill algae?
What happens during the winter with freezing temperatures…do you have to turn the pumps off?
Okay you asked for it. My question is, my land is high plains desert. With 2 inches of snow/ rain fall per year. How do you keep blowing sand from “F”ing up the water feature?
Amazing video!! Just subbed!!👍👍
What do they do for the winter?
Youre in my Freakin town!
How do you keep the algae at bay?
We are just starting this journey. Dying to know how much this cost... I would love this exact one in Oregon!! Have a pretty good budget.
American Brown toad??? aka bubble throat frog: buuuurrrraaaaap!!
Beri nice
What is the approximate price tag for the Rec pond build?
Do the rocks get slippery in a Recreation Pond ?
I want one. How much does something like that cost?
How much to have a pond like that installed at my home in Southern Colorado
How much does it cost to build one like this in Ca
Kermit the Frog, says he totally approves of this rec pond!
🔥💕👍
Greg, please do find out Ed's reasoning behind the "plunge pool" . It reminds me of a hot tub, without the heat😃
What’s the ball park costs for this?
What happens in winter to the pond ?!?
💯🔥💙👍
I saw a snake...10:25...Right side screen 😁
just wondering what if dogs get to these frogs which might contain poison?
If I ever win the lottery I’ll be calling you guys so fast!! ❤️💫❤️
This is beautiful. Any problems with snakes like copperheads? That would be my fear. Snakes like frogs.

We don’t have copperheads in Omaha. We’re too far north. 👍 The worst thing I can think of is that a wandering snapping turtle would find this pool, but it would have to migrate from some other river or lake close by.
I wish
