I agree with Shawn, you learn so much watching all the Aquascape channels. The amount of info is so wonderful. Greg you will never know how much y'all change lives. Love it. Shawn did an awesome job. Greg you are the best! God bless
👊
i love how open it is and not overwhelmed with rocks and plants...looks clean and lots of open water for fish to swim around...
Thanks!
Shawn continues to amaze me with his energy and talents. Congratulations.
Thanks Dan!
Great Job Shawn in building both of your ponds. Beautiful! They look natural. Once all the plants grow in it will be a little oasis.
Yes I need more plants for sure! It'll get better with age!
Shawn, what awesome ponds you have created! Great work man and I hope to see more of your stuff!
Thank You!
The ponds look great. Nice work shawn
Really impressive. Great job. 😊
IT gal here, watching all the videos to build a pond next spring 😊.
Good job, Shawn!
Awesome! It's definitely worth doing!
Congratulations Shawn. Hat's off to you for going out and digging up all those rocks. Incredible amount of work doing it that way. Beautiful job. Enjoy
Thanks! Yes it was alot of work. Started harvesting the rocks last year.
Go Shawn! I’ve watched most of the videos as well. Just need to figure out if I can set the waterfall before the reservoir due to access at the bottom of our hill. Cant wait!
Awesome!
Anything is possible!
Love it. I really liked the detailed explanation of everything he built and his thought process as he went.
Thanks so much!
That looks great! Shawn has a good eye for pond building and landscaping! I think he'll go far at Aquascapes.
Wow!!!!! He did a wonderful job!!!
Thank You!
Great selection! Both ponds look professionally installed. Good job Shawn! 👌 👍
Thanks Eric!
Great job good looking ponds
Pond looks amazing. I love the idea of hiding all the wires and keeping it looking natural! Great job!
wow those ponds look great, goes to really shows that anyone can do it!
Yep! With enough research you can make something life changing!
Can’t wait till 10am tomorrow. I have my certified aqua scape contractor comes to go over the details of my pond.
Hopefully Matt’s as great as u have said sir.
You're in good hands!
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy unless he cancels on u cuz he’s sick but has to go to New York for 3weeks for a build?
So now I have to wait till September?
I watch all the video, Greg the pond guy,Ed the pond professor, altlas water gardens, and aquascape… you will learn so much from these guys.. now to get the land to put my dream pond on…
Good afternoon Greg hope your having an amazing day. Wow congratulations Shawn on winning the diy build. Yes Him and I are always the first to watch every video and comment. Great choice Greg. Congratulations again Shawn. Have an amazing day Greg and ill see you next video like always.
Thanks Crystal!
Very nice seeing all the design principles come together for DYI builds. If a wetland filter gets added, an update would be great. Very impressive.
I'd love to install a wetland! Hopefully next year!
I think you should get him one massive 30+ inch koi for his new pond to be the king of the pond for his hard work building and it would make a great video
Great Idea!
he needs start a youtube channel show his progression of his pond
He did an amazing job on his do it yourself pond.
Great work! 2nd pond was over the top - can't wait to see with the plantings finished. Just finished my backyard pond and Team Aquascape was the most amazing source for learning how to BUILD PONDS RIGHT!
Beautiful ponds one day I’d like to do a backyard pond
Thank you
You can use one of our DIY pond kits like Shawn did! www.aquascapeinc.com/pond-kits
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy is love to, but unfortunately I don’t have the space yet! Maybe when I get more land 😊
I used blue dye 1 time and 1 time only. I think it looks terrible and you can't see the fish.
Great job Shawn, looks beautiful!
Thanks Steve!
I love what he has created!
Wow Shawn is Amazing. He created that feature with Love
Absolutely
Both ponds look beautiful Shawn well done! Getting a 10x14 pond with 8ft stream installed in 3 weeks can’t wait.
Thanks! Congrats on getting yours built soon!
These videos are addictive. Now all I can think about is saving money to build my water feature. This one makes me believe I could do it.
You can! We sell kits with everything you need to get started. www.aquascapeinc.com/pond-kits

Nice work Shawn, you're a great student!
As soon as I purchase the "lot" the "pond" (pool) will be first built before any "foundations" or other improvements besides utilities and such Lol ! My priorities are clear and distinct the Natural pool, pond build is #1 on the to-do list after escrow closes Lol! Love your Videos! FAIRWINDS!
Amazing!! He gave me some motivation to do my own
Way to go Shawn!
Thanks!
What a beautiful pond great work man!
Two thumbs up for the DIY Pond
I'd ask for that as 5 grand worth of stone
Now he just needs to join the two together with a bridge over the stream that brings them together
Agreed!
Definitely!
Gorgeous!
i think he deserve 2021 winner .
You seem like a very cool guy greg. Thanks for making these videos
I pretty much turned my pool into a cement pond lol. I ain't got no money to be spending so I use what I already had, and got the lilly pads from the fishing spot I go to.
Awesome
Great job.loved the stairs down into the pond.
Thanks!
It's so beautiful I love watching all your videos I am addicted to pounds I wish I owned my own home I would love to have one thank you for sharing God bless you always have a beautiful day
I’ll see you in my backyard for DIY 24!
Really nice ponds Shawn!
I love watching your vlogs , I have a fishpond with a waterwheel my late husband made and a fish. But since my husband on in 2014 the pond needs a make over , I kept on buying a submersible pump. I wished I could have a nice looking waterfall with a waterwheel pond but I don’t know who can do the make over for me.
Sounds like me but i watch Alantis and nick and way to many others... Best jobs and waiting for my new house build a bigger one then the one i have now
Such an awesome job. Big bigger biggest! When the next project
😆 He's not lying when he says that either! Next is connecting both together and adding a wetland!
@@shawn_baker so much yessss going on!
@@shawn_baker wet lands are the way to go hands down. Work with mother nature. We are currently in the middle of our build with many set backs as I'm sure you have learned but it will eventually be done lol
I miss having a garden
Nice work!
A great story!
Beautiful
I’m building a pond right now, can’t wait to see who wins the diy contest
