We had a pond in our garden with a waterfall. Our Koi would swim to the edge as soon as anyone came near, waiting for food. They all had names. My grandchildren just loved them. It was magical. Enjoy and make memories.
Laura has to get a waterproof camera soon to see the antics of the fish underwater 😆 it would also be interesting to see how the pond looks from inside with the sun glowing through the lilypads must be magic 🌟 also do put a blackface elderberry at the back would be perfect esp in the spring with the blooms among the evergreens
Just a shout out to Aaron for getting Laura to finally agree to remove the boxwood hedge and fountain. Seeing this pond in its spot is one of the most picturesque spots on your property and I imagine will become the area everyone will enjoy the most! Thanks Aaron!!! 👏🏼👏🏼
How natural this corner of the property now looks! Its as if this pond was always there! Great choice in replacing the Juniper out front! To think this was the most unused portion of your property, and now it will be your most popular place to relax! Totally enjoyed this series of videos! 💖💖🌲🌼🌻🐠🐟
Absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this exciting experience with us. Everything looks so beautiful already, and will only get better with time.
When the Koi get bigger, they will love chunks of Watermelon. When we lived in PA we did a 15x25 pond with two waterfalls. Our Koi would come up to greet us as soon as we walked onto the deck and would talk to them. Love Koi kisses when hand feeding.
Oh my! This has turned out phenomenal. Is anyone as excited as I am to watch this area develop and grow into the beautiful oasis, garden, destination area, family hangout and wildlife area I know it will become. On a selfish side note, we get to come along for the trip. Thanks Laura, Aaron and crew for making these quality videos. Kudos to Greg, Brian and all the CAC ‘s for such a fun fantastic journey.😍
WOW!!! All 3 cat supervisors on duty! That's a rarity! The pond looks beautiful, tranquil, restful and a wonderful place to relax, sit and just enjoy life. Congratulations on a beautiful addition to your garden that you can add plants to and enjoy for years to come.
This wonderful addition will positively alter your kids childhoods in so many ways! Childhood is 20% of our lives but rules the remaining 80%. Kudos for getting swim lessons for them and doing this now rather than later 😊
Thank you, Laura and Aaron (and family), for allowing us to come along with you as this project unfolds! Truly a blessing! Also, a happy shout-out to Paul and Bethany 🙌.
Brian having the boulders extend out further from the immediate pond throughout the berms really does make a difference to a cohesive design. The rock colors and textures are a gift to this garden as you plant around them. We’ve added a few smaller ones to our garden and they are a beast to move and place so the fact that you already have them is such a gift from this project. So beautiful.
What a joy!!! Absolutely beautiful..God bless you all.. Mr Paul and Miss Bethany are a couple of garden beasts.. such hard workers.. they must be a true blessing for your garden..I know you will enjoy and and have fabulous memories and the babies will have wonderful adventures in and around your pond!!!!
At 22:11 why don’t you extend the the blonde ambition grass all the way to the birch, I think that will look stunning. Also I can’t get enough of this pond you and your family deserve every bit of it for all the joy and happiness you bring to your viewers.
Hi this is the second day I have run across your channel thanks to Aquascapes!! I have a degree in Botany and used to work in the nursery field!! You don't know how refreshing it is to see you hard at work in your aquascape space!! I'm sorry but I'm new here and I'm not sure what you do for a living but it is awesome to see that you love being in nature and working with your hands and getting dirty!! Your family is lucky to have you!!!!
Her & her husband Aaron do UA-cam videos for a living, they started in 2014. Her parents own a garden/seed center for over 30 years. Enjoyment watching all the videos they have😊
Have any of your neighbors come over to see what was up with all of the people and equipment? It is so beautiful and I'm really looking forward to seeing the sitting area and walkways going in. Magical!
Russell and Cheddar (and Douglas) look like they’re in heaven exploring the area around the new pond. This is such a departure from your usual projects and I LOVE it! So glad you were able to fill your space with something that brings so much joy to everyone, and thank you for bringing us along on the journey!
The pond area is beautiful. I can imagine you being able to sit there in the fall on a chair with a blanket over your lap sipping cocoa. It will transport you for sure. The grass by the waterfall is perfect. It’s nice to see you moving plants. Sometimes I feel like I don’t like something but don’t move it to a better area then I think it’s just a plant I can move it, give it away, get a new one. It really is that easy. Enjoy the day
Cheddar, Russell, and Douglas are enjoying their new playground! Talk about habitat enrichment! 😂 Have the birds discovered the best birdbath ever yet? That flat rock coming off the wetland is just ideal!
I really enjoyed this video. I have enjoyed the entire pond build. I remember you used to say this was the least used part of the garden. Now it will become the most used part of your garden. The pond looks so natural (like it has always been there) and as the plants mature it will only get better. Oh my. It is a magical place. Also, the pond guys are amazing. They were phenomenal putting this area together. Then you worked your usual magic with all the great plants. So happy for you and your family. Have a blessed day everyone!!
Laura and Aaron, The pond looks magnificent, breathtaking, relaxing with the waterfalls sounds. Such a grand idea to have added to your home, something soo sweet for All the family to enjoy and make lifelong memories. ☮🇺🇸🌳🌳🐸🐸🦈🐟🌾
💦Good day to all. What a spectacular sound to hear the water in the pond and see the beautiful backdrop of trees and shrubs. An amazing result by hard working people for sure. Lovely camera and drone video! What a gift to nature, Laura and Aaron, and to your beautiful children. Yay! 🦋💙🐟💦
A gorgeous addition. So happy for you and your family. We put in a pond over ten years ago and our daughters and their friends sat around it at night with the fire pit well into their young adult hood. A great place to have meaningful conversations. 👍🏽
Good morning. Everything looks so natural and the beauty is really calming. Everything “fits” together so beautifully. It is a joy to see the process, the teamwork, creativity and brilliant outcome (so far). Thanks for bringing us along. Enjoy every moment. 🌞💚👏🙏💦
Welcome to pond life! We've had a succession of ponds over the last 34 years in 3 different houses. Not only are the ponds beautiful to see and hear, they bring so much life to the garden. Birds, squirrels, frogs, turtles and insects visit all day long. When the sun goes down, its a wildlife watering hole for racoons, possum, fox, rabbits and deer. Please add a motion activated camera to your pond so you can see who visits the pond. You won't believe it! Thank you for your great channel! A friend sent me a link during early 2020 and I have been watching ever since. It kept me going during lock down.
What a wonderful wonderful addition to your home! Will the kids be able to play with little boats in the water?! I look forward to watching the area fill in and evolve! Enjoy and thank you for always taking us along!
Laura and Aaron I can't believe what this pond has done for your property. To think of what it used to look like and what it is now. Bethany and Paul have done an incredible job helping the two of you transform and maintain your gorgeous property. Thank you for sharing all of your hard work with us. The pond is just a dream 🤗💓💞💕
I’d have to say this pond addition is by far to this date you guys best project design. It is breathtaking! Such a beautiful place to enjoy for so many years. I actually love the look of the young trees and shrubs too! I know it’s awesome when they get mature but seeing this space grow and evolve with your children is going to be a dream come true. 😊❤
This is exactly what your property needed. The sound of the waterfall is so relaxing. I can't wait to see the Winter interest in this area , I know it will be amazing. Many years of memories and fun for your Family 🌲🐡🌿 Aarons drone footage is spectacular as always.
Wow just transported to heaven by seeing pond 47 degrees here in my Middle eastern part of world .It’s such gorgeous and treat to eyes and soul .The sound of waterfall is just so melodious soothing to ears THANK YOU
I love this pond series and learning about the Aquascape Ecosystem Pond. This type of project and the learning it would provide through ongoing care would be an invaluable and enjoyable learning experience. I am a Special Education teacher (and avid gardener) and will look into ways our community and schools could partner and build a pond to elevate a common area while providing a valuable hands-on learning experience. Thank you so much for putting the series together, I loved seeing the collaboration and the artistry, and the pure talent. Cheers!
Laura, it's just too beautiful! Never thought I'd say this, but the pond kinda out shines the Hartley😊. I love everything about it. It's the best project to date. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
In Washington we have a native rose that I assume you all have down in Oregon as well. It’s called Wood’s Rose and it has a more open, natural growth than cultivated varieties. It would be a really cool option for your to get some roses with a native, natural appearance that would suit the vibe nicely. They’re a soft pink single bloom and have color most of the summer. Major pollinator magnet. I constantly see them in meadows and forests while hiking around the PNW.
Oh! I also just remembered- we have a native/wild bleeding heart that I think you would love! And it blooms all summer and doesn’t sort of fizzle out and disappear by august like the ones you typically see planted. I have several in my shade garden and they’re lovely. The proper name is Dicentra Eximia I believe. Those and the Wood’s Rose are definitely plants that can be purchased through nurseries but they just aren’t as common as the cultivated ones.
I'm pushing eighty and my gardening days are pretty much over except for a couple of small areas with flowers and my lilac. You and your family are delightful and watching you all is always a highlight of my day. The pond is delightful and will enrich your lives no end. Please keep on with the videos and thank you all for everything you do.
Good Morning! 🌲 The pond to me is peaceful & tranquil! I love the sound of waterfall! What a difference the mulch makes, so much better - calming! Love all the plants! 🥰😃🙌🌲💚🌊
I spent the first half of my life in the PNW and now live in Texas. The things you planted around the pond remind me so much of my childhood in the woods building forts. ❤ Everything looks so beautiful- love the weeping spruce!
I've always loved your videos about planting different areas of your garden. Planting the new area with drifts of plants and watching it develop was such a joy. THEN, this pond, Oh my! What an incredibly beautiful creation! I've learned so much about making it look as though it has always been there and created by nature. I just can't imagine how happy you and Aron are. Your children will have such wonderful memories playing around and in it. Once the fish come over to you for their feeding, your children will be so excited. What was your mother's reaction? I bet she was in love. This pond will be the center of so many family and friend gatherings. I am sooooo happy for you. ❤️
Isn't it wonderful how the appearance & sound of water can make the temperature seem 20 degrees cooler??? It is a truly lovely space and imagining how it will look in 3 to 5 years is just exciting!!!!
Oh my gosh! Such a dream 😍 I have no words to how BEAUTIFUL it is now, with all the trees & mulch 🌲😍 Can never order to many trees!!😜 But I definitely agree with no formal plants in that space! Can’t wait to see some grasses around the rocks on the pathway to the pond🪨🌾 ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION, in such a short space of time! I’ve loved watching every step 😍 Thank you for the brilliant tour Laura 🤍🇬🇧
My tv broke when you were doing this project and I could hardly see all the details in my phone, nevertheless when I got the tv replaced I binge watched all the episodes of the pond. What a beautiful place, I would spend all day watching the water and the fish. Your place will never be the same again. Thank you for sharing such a lovely addition to your beautiful garden, all the best.
It's a vacation for you to relax with Aaron and the babies they grow so fast spend as much time with them it makes your soul smile with the best joy feeling ❤ have a blessed day
The artistry in the pond footage with the music was incredible. I’m having to pause the video to write this. I could watch it over and over. You should make this part of the video into a clip. Or maybe into a longer format video of pond footage with music to it. I found it so calming and relaxing. I’d love it if you’d consider that.
Oh the mulch makes such a difference. I just love love love the pond and the fish. You guys will definitely make some awesome memories around this space.
I'm so happy for your family to have this beautiful space! You all work so hard and deserve your little shangri-la. Thank you for showing the lights ! It looks so beautiful!
Hello, Laura and Aaron. Thank you for sharing this blessing with so many. It is a blessing to be a part of viewing this stellar transformation. God bless everyone who had a part in putting it together.
Love all your vids but this pond install might just be my fav! I bet AARON already has plans for Christmas lights on all those glorious evergreens around the pond this winter! Continued blessings, joy and grace to you all!! Happy gardening. Kimberly
I love Bethany’s practical and comfortable overalls. They’re a real game changer in the garden. I got some of Duluth’s gardening overalls, and I never want to wear anything else.
I agree, I have 2 pair from Duluth that I wear all the time now. I had no idea how perfect overalls are for gardening . . . . should have taken a cue from all the generations of farmers!!
It is AWESOME! Such a beautiful area for your family to enjoy for years to come. I'm sure, with your expertise in plants, the surrounding gardens will make a beautiful entrance into the pond area. Looking forward to seeing the future videos as you plant all the beautiful plants in those gardens and to see all the plants grow and mark their spots around the pond. The whole area is breathtakingly beautiful.
Hello to the Community, I am living in Germany and I am simply amazed. What a great Pond, the 🐈 ‚s are loveing it too. It is the best pond that I ever saw all the plants, I am really looking forward to see how it looks next summer, it is stunning already . Enjoyment for everyone. Outstanding job !!! Have a great weekend 🙋♀️🌸🐝🪴🌻❤️
I was hoping for more pond videos!!! thank you! Can you take us with when you do maintenance? I was wondering if you have to clean the pump like you do for a pool. These videos have been so fun! Thank you for taking us along for the excitement! So happy for you!!!
This amazing pond (extraordinary WATERSCAPE!) is a wondrous addition to your glorious property. Thank you for sharing 💕 I’m an avid gardener from tropical North Queensland, Australia… and although much of what you grow in your garden I cannot… I look forward to enjoying every new YT episode you upload. Blessings to you and your family x
Yay for dragonflies! They eat up mosquitoes. Also, we need a kitty adventure video. At least 10 min of the cats exploring, being cute and having fun. 😸
So beautiful and I can just imagine how relaxing it can be just to sit in the mornings or evenings. I love how the kitties think you did all that just for them. You can tell how much they love the rocks and being able to explore. The kids will never forget this experience. Great job.
Cats on rocks are giving me Lion King vibes or Rocky Mountain mountain lion vibes. Remember to run drip to the rearranged plants or perhaps you already did but didn't film that part. This is such a peaceful place.🐈🌲🐈
The pond looks beautiful.. I don’t know if you get Heron in your area but you might want some fake Heron as they would always eat/kill my fish .. and it breaks your heart.. I had areas of protection for my fish too but they always managed to get them.. Heron are territorial so that fake one may keep them away.. I’m sure others have more ideas for protecting your fish too.. I love it Laura.. it looks like it’s always been there.
I have binged on all the pond building episodes, thanks for sharing with us. I love the undulation of the whole area, it adds so much character to a garden, not just the pond area but the whole surrounding and the way that you can fit plants into dips and curves, with rocks and trunks, it brings a garden to life.
I love that the pond looks both natural, but still elegant. I’m sure the sense of community you felt from all the people who gathered there, has already given you memories to cherish:)
How exciting! It looks great! When I saw how fast they moved on the install I figured you equipped everyone with augers and was shocked when you showed everyone using shovels. I can’t wait for the grasses, iris and Lillie’s to fill out. That texture just feels so natural for that space.
Wow, I am finally seeing your new pond. Didn't realize the pond would be so tremendous. Really like the waterfall, all the stones as borders, & different shaped boulders. Many beautiful plantings & especially like your blue spruce in the background and blond ambition is delightful & will certainly search for the delicate grass soon. Thank you, for sharing! So many more plantings to be done but looks like you have plenty of help. I know you do many yourself!
We had a pond in our garden with a waterfall. Our Koi would swim to the edge as soon as anyone came near, waiting for food. They all had names. My grandchildren just loved them. It was magical. Enjoy and make memories.
Nice 👍
That's what it's all about is memories
Laura has to get a waterproof camera soon to see the antics of the fish underwater 😆 it would also be interesting to see how the pond looks from inside with the sun glowing through the lilypads must be magic 🌟 also do put a blackface elderberry at the back would be perfect esp in the spring with the blooms among the evergreens
How cool!
What happened to it.
Just a shout out to Aaron for getting Laura to finally agree to remove the boxwood hedge and fountain. Seeing this pond in its spot is one of the most picturesque spots on your property and I imagine will become the area everyone will enjoy the most! Thanks Aaron!!! 👏🏼👏🏼
I was totally on team keep it and BOY was I wrong!!
How natural this corner of the property now looks! Its as if this pond was always there! Great choice in replacing the Juniper out front! To think this was the most unused portion of your property, and now it will be your most popular place to relax! Totally enjoyed this series of videos! 💖💖🌲🌼🌻🐠🐟
Absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this exciting experience with us. Everything looks so beautiful already, and will only get better with time.
It’s like it was just waiting to be revealed
I sooooo wish we could have seen the parents reaction to it all finished and mulched! My gosh it turned out stunning!
Good morning! Anyone looking forward for this, the next morning pond update? I sure do ❤
Yaaasss!
When the Koi get bigger, they will love chunks of Watermelon. When we lived in PA we did a 15x25 pond with two waterfalls. Our Koi would come up to greet us as soon as we walked onto the deck and would talk to them. Love Koi kisses when hand feeding.
Good morning, anyone out planting instead of watching videos?
Oh my! This has turned out phenomenal. Is anyone as excited as I am to watch this area develop and grow into the beautiful oasis, garden, destination area, family hangout and wildlife area I know it will become. On a selfish side note, we get to come along for the trip. Thanks Laura, Aaron and crew for making these quality videos. Kudos to Greg, Brian and all the CAC ‘s for such a fun fantastic journey.😍
Anyone else thinking about how the Christmas lights will look?
Beautiful space and love rooting for you!
WOW!!! All 3 cat supervisors on duty! That's a rarity!
The pond looks beautiful, tranquil, restful and a wonderful place to relax, sit and just enjoy life. Congratulations on a beautiful addition to your garden that you can add plants to and enjoy for years to come.
Watching the kitties explore is one of the best parts of having a pond. People, animals, and insects are drawn to water. The wildlife will come!❤
It would be interesting to see if the fox comes to drink at night. Or what other critters visit at night
This wonderful addition will positively alter your kids childhoods in so many ways! Childhood is 20% of our lives but rules the remaining 80%. Kudos for getting swim lessons for them and doing this now rather than later 😊
Three cheers to Paul and Bethany! Great friends and helpers of your dream garden!☺❤💚
Thank you, Laura and Aaron (and family), for allowing us to come along with you as this project unfolds! Truly a blessing! Also, a happy shout-out to Paul and Bethany 🙌.
Your beautiful heaven on earth 💕
So peaceful! I can’t imagine the Garden Answer family ever leaving this home now 🤩.
Paul and Bethany are true tressures! I must say...I have never seen a more beautiful pond! The talent of this team is mind blowing!
I've been loving seeing the kitties enjoy the big rocks! 🪨😀 My cats would be in heaven!
Russel looked like a lion, laid out on the rock overseeing his domain lol
❤
they're having a great time exploring all the new things in the yard.
@GirlyHR I know The Mouse would object, but they need a shot of Russell on a rock backed by the Lion King theme 😂.
Not to mention the ‘fish supper’.
Brian having the boulders extend out further from the immediate pond throughout the berms really does make a difference to a cohesive design. The rock colors and textures are a gift to this garden as you plant around them. We’ve added a few smaller ones to our garden and they are a beast to move and place so the fact that you already have them is such a gift from this project. So beautiful.
I agree. His design better integrates the pond into the surrounding landscape. Amazing!
What a joy!!! Absolutely beautiful..God bless you all.. Mr Paul and Miss Bethany are a couple of garden beasts.. such hard workers.. they must be a true blessing for your garden..I know you will enjoy and and have fabulous memories and the babies will have wonderful adventures in and around your pond!!!!
The sound of the water is as wonderful as the visual beauty of the pond.
At 22:11 why don’t you extend the the blonde ambition grass all the way to the birch, I think that will look stunning. Also I can’t get enough of this pond you and your family deserve every bit of it for all the joy and happiness you bring to your viewers.

Russell and Cheddar (and Douglas) look like they’re in heaven exploring the area around the new pond. This is such a departure from your usual projects and I LOVE it! So glad you were able to fill your space with something that brings so much joy to everyone, and thank you for bringing us along on the journey!
The pond area is beautiful. I can imagine you being able to sit there in the fall on a chair with a blanket over your lap sipping cocoa. It will transport you for sure. The grass by the waterfall is perfect. It’s nice to see you moving plants. Sometimes I feel like I don’t like something but don’t move it to a better area then I think it’s just a plant I can move it, give it away, get a new one. It really is that easy. Enjoy the day
Learning I could move plants was a game changer for my garden! And this channel has been a huge encouragement in making my space what I want.
Cheddar, Russell, and Douglas are enjoying their new playground! Talk about habitat enrichment! 😂
Have the birds discovered the best birdbath ever yet? That flat rock coming off the wetland is just ideal!
I really enjoyed this video. I have enjoyed the entire pond build. I remember you used to say this was the least used part of the garden. Now it will become the most used part of your garden.

The pond is magnificent. Over time, your plantings will only enhance the space. I can see the family spending a lot of time in this area.
Laura and Aaron, The pond looks magnificent, breathtaking, relaxing with the waterfalls sounds. Such a grand idea to have added to your home, something soo sweet for All the family to enjoy and make lifelong memories. ☮🇺🇸🌳🌳🐸🐸🦈🐟🌾
💦Good day to all. What a spectacular sound to hear the water in the pond and see the beautiful backdrop of trees and shrubs. An amazing result by hard working people for sure. Lovely camera and drone video! What a gift to nature, Laura and Aaron, and to your beautiful children. Yay! 🦋💙🐟💦
I’m already looking forward to see what Aaron does around the pond this Christmas.
Thank you so much for strolling us through the space and for the amazing drone shots!! The pond is awesome! The landscape is next level!! Wow!! ☀️
A gorgeous addition. So happy for you and your family. We put in a pond over ten years ago and our daughters and their friends sat around it at night with the fire pit well into their young adult hood. A great place to have meaningful conversations. 👍🏽
I am in such awe I am speechless....I know how hard Aaron and you work, but please take time to truly enjoy this amazing spot.
Good morning. Everything looks so natural and the beauty is really calming. Everything “fits” together so beautifully. It is a joy to see the process, the teamwork, creativity and brilliant outcome (so far). Thanks for bringing us along. Enjoy every moment. 🌞💚👏🙏💦

Laura you are never alone because Cheddar and Russell are never far from you. That is so sweet. Love your videos and family.
Laura and Aaron I can't believe what this pond has done for your property. To think of what it used to look like and what it is now. Bethany and Paul have done an incredible job helping the two of you transform and maintain your gorgeous property. Thank you for sharing all of your hard work with us. The pond is just a dream 🤗💓💞💕
This beautiful space will be enjoyed all year, and in a couple years you won't even remember the formal garden at all. Stunning!
I’d have to say this pond addition is by far to this date you guys best project design. It is breathtaking! Such a beautiful place to enjoy for so many years. I actually love the look of the young trees and shrubs too! I know it’s awesome when they get mature but seeing this space grow and evolve with your children is going to be a dream come true. 😊❤
This is exactly what your property needed. The sound of the waterfall is so relaxing. I can't wait to see the Winter interest in this area , I know it will be amazing. Many years of memories and fun for your Family 🌲🐡🌿 Aarons drone footage is spectacular as always.
The mulch transformation is AMAZING!
When you go out to this beautiful pond, you must feel blessed. It is so calming. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow just transported to heaven by seeing pond 47 degrees here in my Middle eastern part of world .It’s such gorgeous and treat to eyes and soul .The sound of waterfall is just so melodious soothing to ears THANK YOU

Hi Laura. Beautiful. Can't wait to see the flagstones and seating area go down and the plants etc. Gorgeous! Excellent job. 👍👌🙏💚
I think that spruce tree looks very “ Adams Family”. It should have a spot all its own. It may never change its ways. I like it. 😊
Love all the varieties you chose. Blond ambition sure looks delightful. Thanks for the tour and all the ideas.
Laura, it's just too beautiful! Never thought I'd say this, but the pond kinda out shines the Hartley😊. I love everything about it. It's the best project to date. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
8am. Thank you all! Your program is such a blessing. In my mind your gardens look like heaven. It is all beautiful!

Ferns, bluebells, snowdrops and wild garlic are all plants I associate with walking in the woods!❤
That transition after the mulching is a chef's kiss! ❤❤❤
🤌
I'm pushing eighty and my gardening days are pretty much over except for a couple of small areas with flowers and my lilac.
You and your family are delightful and watching you all is always a highlight of my day. The pond is delightful and will enrich your lives no end. Please keep on with the videos and thank you all for everything you do.
Good Morning! 🌲 The pond to me is peaceful & tranquil! I love the sound of waterfall! What a difference the mulch makes, so much better - calming! Love all the plants! 🥰😃🙌🌲💚🌊
❤
Must be a huge relief to have that basketball court and bright lights blocked from view!
Everything looks wonderful and inviting!
Great job as always!
I spent the first half of my life in the PNW and now live in Texas. The things you planted around the pond remind me so much of my childhood in the woods building forts. ❤ Everything looks so beautiful- love the weeping spruce!

I bet she was in love. This pond will be the center of so many family and friend gatherings. I am sooooo happy for you. ❤️
Isn't it wonderful how the appearance & sound of water can make the temperature seem 20 degrees cooler??? It is a truly lovely space and imagining how it will look in 3 to 5 years is just exciting!!!!
You've created an ecosystem and more creatures will come to visit this lovely oasis.
Oh my gosh! Such a dream 😍
I have no words to how BEAUTIFUL it is now, with all the trees & mulch 🌲😍 Can never order to many trees!!😜
But I definitely agree with no formal plants in that space!
Can’t wait to see some grasses around the rocks on the pathway to the pond🪨🌾
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION, in such a short space of time!
I’ve loved watching every step 😍
Thank you for the brilliant tour Laura 🤍🇬🇧
My tv broke when you were doing this project and I could hardly see all the details in my phone, nevertheless when I got the tv replaced I binge watched all the episodes of the pond.

It's a vacation for you to relax with Aaron and the babies they grow so fast spend as much time with them it makes your soul smile with the best joy feeling ❤ have a blessed day
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL. LOVE ALL THE PLANTS . EVEN ONE OF THE KITTIES LOOK SO GOOD ON THE ROCKS. 👍👍👍❤️🙏🇨🇦
your oasis is AMAZING! and with your landscaping skills, it is going to be a national park!
The artistry in the pond footage with the music was incredible. I’m having to pause the video to write this. I could watch it over and over. You should make this part of the video into a clip. Or maybe into a longer format video of pond footage with music to it. I found it so calming and relaxing. I’d love it if you’d consider that.
Oh the mulch makes such a difference. I just love love love the pond and the fish. You guys will definitely make some awesome memories around this space.
Your pond has such a beautiful structure, the overhead pictures shows it off so well. The whole area is stunning!
I'm so happy for your family to have this beautiful space! You all work so hard and deserve your little shangri-la. Thank you for showing the lights ! It looks so beautiful!
Paul and Bethany are such hard workers. Looks Great! Good Job all of you! So Beautiful!
Hello, Laura and Aaron. Thank you for sharing this blessing with so many. It is a blessing to be a part of viewing this stellar transformation. God bless everyone who had a part in putting it together.
Love all your vids but this pond install might just be my fav! I bet AARON already has plans for Christmas lights on all those glorious evergreens around the pond this winter!
Continued blessings, joy and grace to you all!! Happy gardening. Kimberly
I love Bethany’s practical and comfortable overalls. They’re a real game changer in the garden. I got some of Duluth’s gardening overalls, and I never want to wear anything else.
I love seeing the ones Erin from Floret wears as well.
@@dianequist835 Yes, Erin did a great series on workwear!
I agree, I have 2 pair from Duluth that I wear all the time now. I had no idea how perfect overalls are for gardening . . . . should have taken a cue from all the generations of farmers!!
Beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful ❤❤❤
It is AWESOME! Such a beautiful area for your family to enjoy for years to come. I'm sure, with your expertise in plants, the surrounding gardens will make a beautiful entrance into the pond area. Looking forward to seeing the future videos as you plant all the beautiful plants in those gardens and to see all the plants grow and mark their spots around the pond. The whole area is breathtakingly beautiful.
Hello to the Community, I am living in Germany and I am simply amazed. What a great Pond, the 🐈 ‚s are loveing it too. It is the best pond that I ever saw all the plants, I am really looking forward to see how it looks next summer, it is stunning already . Enjoyment for everyone. Outstanding job !!! Have a great weekend 🙋♀️🌸🐝🪴🌻❤️
I was hoping for more pond videos!!! thank you! Can you take us with when you do maintenance? I was wondering if you have to clean the pump like you do for a pool. These videos have been so fun! Thank you for taking us along for the excitement! So happy for you!!!
I love seeing all the kitties finding the rocks ,they didn’t know they needed them until they came !😊❤
This amazing pond (extraordinary WATERSCAPE!) is a wondrous addition to your glorious property. Thank you for sharing 💕
I’m an avid gardener from tropical North Queensland, Australia… and although much of what you grow in your garden I cannot… I look forward to enjoying every new YT episode you upload.
Blessings to you and your family x
I think this is my new favourite spot in the garden. It has an oriental feel with all those beautiful conifers. Congratulations it looks amazing!
Yay for dragonflies! They eat up mosquitoes. Also, we need a kitty adventure video. At least 10 min of the cats exploring, being cute and having fun. 😸
A camera on their collar?
Thank you so much for showing how long the installation process takes, even with teams of people!
Nice. Another place for the cats to explore! 24:20 😂😺Lots of shade, rocks, water, even Russell and Cheddar approve.
The evolution of your property is such an inspiration!
So happy that you finally decided to add a pond. Looks amazing and I know that it will add so much enjoyment to your family's life for years to come.
I love how you started with your shovel then went with the big guns. I cracked up!❤❤
So beautiful and I can just imagine how relaxing it can be just to sit in the mornings or evenings. I love how the kitties think you did all that just for them. You can tell how much they love the rocks and being able to explore. The kids will never forget this experience. Great job.
It's like a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert. So lovely.
Cats on rocks are giving me Lion King vibes or Rocky Mountain mountain lion vibes. Remember to run drip to the rearranged plants or perhaps you already did but didn't film that part. This is such a peaceful place.🐈🌲🐈
The overhead shots were perfect to give us a great view of your beautiful garden .
The pond looks beautiful.. I don’t know if you get Heron in your area but you might want some fake Heron as they would always eat/kill my fish .. and it breaks your heart.. I had areas of protection for my fish too but they always managed to get them.. Heron are territorial so that fake one may keep them away.. I’m sure others have more ideas for protecting your fish too.. I love it Laura.. it looks like it’s always been there.
I have binged on all the pond building episodes, thanks for sharing with us. I love the undulation of the whole area, it adds so much character to a garden, not just the pond area but the whole surrounding and the way that you can fit plants into dips and curves, with rocks and trunks, it brings a garden to life.
I love that the pond looks both natural, but still elegant. I’m sure the sense of community you felt from all the people who gathered there, has already given you memories to cherish:)
Your footpath should be a creek bed the art is already there
It really looks amazing ! A lifetime of enjoyment for the whole family , right there!
Are the leaves turning already? Beautiful young people. God's blessing.
So impressed with the benches and Laura and Aaron the pond is so beautiful looking forward to many years of updates on it.
How exciting! It looks great! When I saw how fast they moved on the install I figured you equipped everyone with augers and was shocked when you showed everyone using shovels. I can’t wait for the grasses, iris and Lillie’s to fill out. That texture just feels so natural for that space.
Coffee time with Laura at the pond! Lived for this moment all weekend 😍 You are so blessed. And you deserve it all!
EXCELLENT JOB EVERYONE! LAURA AND ARROND IT LOOKS SO NATURAL, LIKE IT WAS ALWAYS THERE. I LOVE IT!
That juniper was perfect!! The sound of the water is wonderful!
Such a serene space. It was great fun to see the pond go in.
Wow, I am finally seeing your new pond. Didn't realize the pond would be so tremendous. Really like the waterfall, all the stones as borders, & different shaped boulders. Many beautiful plantings & especially like your blue spruce in the background and blond ambition is delightful & will certainly search for the delicate grass soon. Thank you, for sharing! So many more plantings to be done but looks like you have plenty of help. I know you do many yourself!
