More to come! Thanks for watching
I’m lovin the depth, design, and size of this soon to be a fabulous water feature ‼️💖🙋♀️🇨🇱
Круто ! hi from Russia and respect
Looks awesome, good to be so pretty when done. Love it
Thanks! Can’t wait to show the finished project.
Love the white sand. When we did our terraces in my childhood home we had white sand from Pensacola hauled in. Makes such an esthetic differece
pretty exciting stuff....love the drop of the steam shovel
Always something exciting going on with our builds 😁
@@markthepondguy I am looking forward to being one of those soon :D

That pond looks great man at least that ground didn't look to hard to dig in like the one you did up where I live
Dam that will be mint
Thank you! Stay tuned, final reveal video will be out soon. 😊
Great Design and functional variety! Two questions...
Where did you get your white sand? Love it!
What is the design benefit in having large rocks take up swimming space toward the bottom? Is it structurally necessary or just for aesthetics when looking into the water? I would rather have more swim space and use larger rock for waterfalls and alongside.
You're not kidding. Those are some BIG rocks! I see multiple snorkles behind walls inside the pond. Do you mind me asking their purpose. Is your next trick going to be digging while the excavator is still suspended in the air? Awesome project as always. 👍
Hellow Sir,
Please explain and do a detailed video on the plumbing and jets used for proper water flow..
Thank you..
Looks awesome! I’m interested in something like this. When are you posting Part 2?
I need this
I need this.
Man if I only had the cash to do !y pond like this!
What kind of liner is used for these ponds? And it looks like theres two layers?
Nice work. Does the sand stay fresh underneath without an up flow water pipe under it?
Thank you! 👊🏽
As of now this is a chlorinated system so yes, it’s looking great.
This feature is built with the option to run with natural bacteria vs chlorine as well.
If the customer decides to switch, the plumbing is set up to run water through the sand.
Does the chlorine stain the rocks? Need a special filter/pump for the sand?
I want this.
🙌🏾
Just curious how you guys keep the water clean? I know in a standard pool the water can get dirty in the corners where there’s little water circulation? Does the sand and rocks cause dead spots where there’s very little water circulation?
We added jets to any dead spots which helps as well as the high amount of use this pond gets. Kids playing and walking around in the sand actually helps any debris that could possibly fall in to redirect to the intake bay.
Good stuff. Awesome project!
When they start these they always look a descent size then they fill them with rock and turn them into paddling pools
Yeah, if your rocks are 40cm - 50cm, then you lose 80cm - 1m in width once you have laid your rock into place.
That's if you have shelves that allow you to lay just one layer down. If it needs more rock on that layer to reach to top of the shelf, then you lose more at the bottom.
I've made a few ponds 18m x 16m, and they lose a little on the sides. But the bigger you go, the better. It just costs more to do, it is all.
I wanna hire you, in the PNW. :x
We’d love to chat! If you fill out this request form we’ll reach out to discuss your project. www.markthepondguy.com/custom-water-features
How much for a pond in Southern Vermont?
Here’s some more info on this project. We do travel as well and would love to chat if you’re interested in something similar! www.markthepondguy.com/blog-2-1/project-spotlight-white-sand-beach-swim-pond
Good gravy, white sand reflects sunlight so sunburns would make the area harmful to humans and animals.
💀
What’s the cost?
Which state was this built in?
this is in Washington state 😊
Do you build in NC?
Yes, we build out of state as well! If you'd like to get a quote, please submit the following form and we will be in touch. zb1c8ehx6gu.typeform.com/pondquote
What is the primary reason for a pond vs a pool?
This customer has owned several pools in the past but wanted something to blend in better with the Pacific Northwest landscape in their yard. The kids have used this pond 300 days so far, so it definitely brings the functionality as well as the aesthetic the homeowner was looking for. And when the pond is not used as much in the future, they plan to run it naturally and add aquatic plants and fish.
love the pond, love the hot guy
Haha lots more of both of those coming soon! 🙃🙈
how much does rock like that cost?
Rock prices vary, for this project we used several large boulders 2-6 man size. Just for the large rocks it was about $30k.
I'm not so interested in seeing all the equipment building it, and very interested in seeing the final result. Which isn't shown and I don't see Part 2, which presumably shows that.
Part 2 is linked here: ua-cam.com/video/bNL_WQzhklQ/v-deo.html
Also more finished shots are on our Instagram as well @markthepondguy and we plan on doing another filming day out there before the end of summer.
@@markthepondguy Thanks!
You couldn't have just made one long 17 min video?
The 2nd part?
In case you missed it, here’s part 2! EPIC Rec Pond - Part 2!

We’ll also be uploading some footage of this project with the finished landscaping soon. Thanks for watching!
I bet that cost close to one million bucks ..
This project was right around $400k.
so in Australia $100 here is worth $150 there , so 400 k whats that in Australian money .. Not very good at maths lol
