Such enthusiasm from your worker's!! They're like yeah, more coffee please then I'll think about it... 🤣 Nice pondless!!! 😁
Landscaping can make or break the whole effect, turned out sweet... 🤩👍
Nice job…..exactly what I would like for me yard. 👍🏽
Thank you, Let’s make it happen! 😃
Several years ago I built a water feature for our back yard. I used stones I had dug up from a little excavation I had done for the waterfall. I made it about four feet high and so it would fall into a small pool. The water would flow from there by a little stream to another small pool sitting a little lower than the upper pool. Watching yours and others videos about building water features, I see some mistakes I made. I didn't backfill the liner enough in places along the stream bed and didn't remove enough grass along the sides. The grass wound up growing over the sides and into the stream causing excess water loss. Turned out pretty nice and looked fairly natural. But a few years ago I added some river and pond pebbles. Then started having algae growing in and have had to continually pull it out. It's a hair or string like algae. Not a big problem, just had to keep scooping it out. It's about like a clog of hair in a sink drain. Yuk. lol. Good video and very nice waterfall you guys made.
Check it out!!!! Love seeing the landscaping in the finish. It looks great Ralph...God bless
Fantastic job fellas! 👏 it was the perfect size and location for that yard.
Thank you! The feature did fit nicely in this setting. I would not have gone bigger.
Absolutely amazing natural looking waterfall, great job, guys!
Thank you! 🙌
The landscapers only put the frosting on your beautiful cake!
Amazing! I’ve watched this many times and catch new little details every time. Your work in inspiring my friend. Thanks for the great content as well.
Thanks for watching and the kind words 😁
Wow... looks very natural! Love how the bottom of the boulders are hidden/buried!
Thank you!
WOW!!!! Those after shots are great I Love the transformation!!! Pondscapes Az changing lives!!!!!
Thanks buddy!!
Very natural looking...I love it, Ralph!!!
Thanks so much!
One of my favorites brothers awesome job
Great idea with the reinforcement tape
An amazing piece of work…congratulations guys…
Thank you! 🙌
Looks great!!
👍
Beautiful as usual! Picked up some useful tips as well! Thank you for sharing Ralph!
Thank you Keith!
Amazing
Ralph I have watched this several times and I learn something each time, especially when I read your answers in the comments. I like the 'bib' method you use and your explanation is very good! I also like how you have large rocks and gravel outside the spillway; that is different than I've seen before. I know my deer will want to drink from the one I build and that will give them a place to stand w/o injuring the liner or my built up mound (they love to climb mounds of dirt). I saw that you used a 4-8 pump and I was curious what the head was on this 12' feature. This is the BEST video I have watched and I have seen a lot of them!
Thanks for watching and the kinds words. This feature had about 5’ of head.
Nice 😊
Thanks Tony!
a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
No, Thank you!
@@pondscapesaz Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week .... see you….
Love it, awesome job!!! How do the reservoirs collect the water with all the holes in it before sending it to the holding tank? Thanks for sharing!!!
The water is contained throughout the entire system via the rubber liner that is installed prior to the blocks.
💪
now that's a place you can enjoy after a long day at the office. Question: does it matter where you put the pump vault? thanks and keep the video's coming.
The pump vault should be installed at either side of the excavation for the aquablox. I try to put it on the same side as where we put the waterfall spillway but it doesn’t always work out that way. I don’t like the pump vault at the end or in front of the stream because it takes up more space and is harder to hide. Thanks for watching 👍
Beautiful waterfall guys, that's about the dimensions I was thinking of for my waterfall , what size of pump are you working with to get that flow?
Thank you! This pump is a Aquasurge 4000 to 8000 gph.
Do you guys come to San Diego, CA? I am looking to have one installed within the next 6 months.
We have traveled for many projects. Give us a call to discuss your project. Pondscapes office 480-987-7781
Bigger!!!! More water crashing down for better sound effects. A little higher for the water fall. Over all looks good.
Thanks for the tips 😉
This is a beautiful waterfall, hope when we get ours it’s like this. They ordered a medium kit with 3pl-3000 pump. You think that enough flow for 16’ft medium?
Who is “they”? 3pl flow in this waterfall would definitely not look the same as this.
@@pondscapesaz the aquascape contractor in San Antonio that’s going to build for us. I was going to ask him either way if they should upgrade the pump. Thank you for replying
We all have our own style and opinions but with a 16 ft stream I would recommend an Aquasurge 4k to 8k pump.
@@pondscapesazthank you, I will ask about that, plus the 3pl does not have the app like the others
Wow, very natural. Was there a reason the soil was not compacted or excavated and replaced with stone under the large boulders at the highest spot to prevent them sinking in?
We do compact as we build up our elevations. Usually I use 1/4”minus as it compresses very tight and doesn’t settle.
Good to know. We are scraping away the topsoil then using washed 3/4 stone and compacting in 6" layers under 8-10 boulders of half a ton each.
nice job guys.
Thanks!
💯🔥💙👍
🙌
Nice fall, but a bit wierd how it 'sit' ON the landscape/garden, rather than IN it. I realize that's when you don''t have a natural slope, but it still make a piece and not a part..
Ok. I wonder if you’re watching the entire video…
Is there any benefit of using that 1/4 minus rock over fill dirt instead? Thanks!
I like that it compacts tighter and is cleaner to work with when wet.
@@pondscapesaz awesome. So you do most of your structural mounding with that but still do edges with dirt?
Hey Ralph, you told me previously on another job that I commented on, about the why you need to do bib lining that it depend on the situation, am I understanding that on this particular job that instead of trying to achieve the right level of each ( bassins or levels ) as you call them, whit the dirt underneath the liner by flipping on and off till you achieve the desired level it give you more control the way you did on this job? What will be the disadvantage of having the water going to the gravel instead knowing that you will have gravel over the bib liner...Thanks in advance for this response.
Raymond I like using this technique because it gives me more flexibility with my rock selections. There could absolutely be a disadvantage if you don’t do a good job of sealing the levels with your foam and liner/fabric. Inevitably water will leak through each level ( because the foam is just a water diverter, not a sealer ) but it is not a problem as it passes through the gravel then hits the liner and rolls downward into the vault to be put back in circulation. If there is excessive leaking due to poor bib sealing then you will have a situation where the amount of water rolling over the falls is less than desired and you potentially have a high volume of water in motion that is not seen because it is passing through the gravel instead of over the top of the waterfalls. Great question!
@@pondscapesaz I am so thankful for people like you that do these videos. I have learned so much from yall. I do have a question because I am confused about why you use the "bib liners". Maybe I am confused. It is my understanding that you have the underlayment against the ground, then the liner, then you have your stone placed along with gravel for the stream bed. Then it looks like you put the bib and then another layer of gravel. If I am understanding this correctly, why do you need the bib? What is the difference between the lower layer of gravel and the top layer? Again, thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. I know it takes a lot of time and intentionality to do them.
@@davidjamesellis99 thank you for the kind words. You are correct about the order of materials for the bibbing process. The reason we do this technique is we have more freedom with the rock work when creating waterfalls. Instead of flipping the liner and backfilling with dirt which eats up liner length we do the bibs that allow a wide canvas to build on.
How much does something like that cost.
Starting point for a pondless this size is $15,000
How much would something like this cost?
Something like this would start around 15,000
WHAT WOULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS COST APPROXIMATELY??????????????????????
20k range
@@pondscapesaz THANK YOU.....I WAS CURIOUS......GORGEOUS JOB......
@@51inches Thank you!
Seems very disorganised
Thank you
What would you have dot to clean things up?
You are smoking crack Ralph did an awesome job explaining in great detail how this is built The waterfalls I always see people build looks like a mound of rocks this looks like a great Creek coming down a Hillside Very natural with the rocks set into the ground instead of on top of the ground
@@pondscapesaz Your work looks great and nice videos!
Nice work!
