Building an INCREDIBLE POND with the PROS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2019
- Having one pond was great, but much like a fish tank, terrarium or vivarium... it's even better to have two (or more)! That's why the folks at Aquascape and I teamed up to bring you another pond build. The funny thing is that after I uploaded the DIY pond build, a lot of you were saying that I should collab with Greg. By the time the requests started flooding in, him and I already had this one planned out. In doing so I had a GREAT time. These are all genuine, like-minded people who are awesome at what they do.
As you probably expected, that means that the native fish are moving outside to live the Aquascape Lifestyle. They'll be happier out there anyways and we can do much more interesting things in the animal room (stuff you've NEVER seen before). Stay tuned!
I know I'll get a lot of comments about how expensive these ponds are. Although it would definitely be more expensive to do something like this, realize that you're primarily paying for a CAC (Certified Aquascape Contractor). The kit and other materials really aren't that expensive compared to something similar. So if you can learn the process (they have the resources to do so), then you could certainly make something like this or bigger for a decent price, especially since there's no guess work or development involved. Had I known that to begin with, I may have went the ecosystem pond route for the one out back. Something I didn't talk about in that video is that I wasted a decent amount of money because I had to troubleshoot and design everything from scratch. Regardless of what you do, I'd highly recommend that you get a pond of some kind.
Here's the kit that we used to build this pond: www.aquascapeinc.com/products...
A HUGE thanks to the folks over at Tussey Landscaping and Soergel Landscape. They really pulled through for this build and we couldn't have done it without them. If you're looking for more pond content, I'd highly recommend checking out their channel and the other items I have linked below.

For those of you who hated my DIY build or wanted me to collab with Greg, here's an Ecosystem Pond. Now I'm living the Aquascape Lifestyle! Like I said in the video description, the native fish are going in here, so like the previous build I'm not taking suggestions... you can humor me though! I was up late and put a ton of work into this video and I really hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think about the final product and what you would do with this pond. I don't know about you, but I ❤️ MY POND!
First!!
How can you be first if you replied to my comment 😉
Love your channel
I like your DIY pond , I thought it was awesome
love your projects, i will humour you!
get some crayfish or turtles, not sure if any are native but they are so fun to watch.
Tanners favorite things on earth:
*moss and driftwood*
the man has his priorities straight
Nice
“I ❤️ MY JOB!”
Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy This turned out great and reminds me of my childhood homes pond that my father and brother in-law made . can’t to wait see tanner completely customize the landscaping also can’t wait to see what is in works for back yard
Yep!
You do an amazing job at what you do.
you are a true inspiration to the pond community
I love you too
This makes me miss the old landscaping shows that used to be on HGTV. The multi-level waterfall pond looks amazing and it's only minimally planted. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Also, I am seriously jealous!
Curb appeal I think it was called yeah I loved them
Do you remember that show Backyard habitat?
I love that you and your wife have your rocking chairs on the front porch to relax and enjoy your beautiful yard. It reminds me of a sweet old married couple that has been married for 50 years. So cute!
Omg!! When I saw your DIY pond I was thinking of Aquascape!! This will compliment your own pond well!! 😄
All of this pond content is causing me to actively produce serotonin, thank you ❤️ Yet another great video, Tanner. I hope this gives you satisfaction every time you look at it. It's BEAUTIFUL.
Haha! It sure does! I look out back and there's a pond. I look up front and there's a pond. What more could I want?!
Duuuuuude!!! Yes!!! So happy for you!!!
I've seen so many builds from Greg that I was quite afraid that this would be another generic build. But you really managed to combine his professional working with your own style. Well done.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Idk if I'm biased, but I think this pond is one of the best UA-camr collab builds that they have done yet. I just think the way it's designed looks very unique.
I ❤️ MyY JOB!”
@@SerpaDesign I agree, Loved how yours came out. I think its beautiful. tbh, the moss and driftwood helps so much.
Honestly, watching your videos is such a joy. With every other subscription I have there's always that one video that comes along and makes me uncomfortable, and makes me turn away from it, or feel out of place, or makes me anxious. But your channel is like watching little bits of a dream being built every time, and it's the most relaxing, wholesome, beautiful experience. You always do what you say you will, you never feel the need to be super extra and edgy about things, you're never cranky nor do you seem like you're not enjoying what you do, and you always keeps things informative and artistic and full of life. It's just wonderful to have a break with you and watch someone build something they're passionate and careful about.
I'm enjoying the pond series 🥰
Congratulations Tanner!
Finally someone that deserves an Aquascape pond gets one :)
Broman1978 everyone should experience “Living the Aquascape Lifestyle!”
Ed and Tanner explaining about ponds and construction is so entertaining, like David Attenborough. I love the pond construction videos!!
Alexandra Bautista Thanks Alexandra!
You are correct about the price being relative to using a CAC. Their experience, expertise and ability to work with you is a big part of the price, but having the full materials, and quality materials, upfront is what makes a big difference. Your pond will come together faster and be of better quality. You get what you pay for. I did my ponds myself, always have, and it’s a constant battle the first two years. Aquascape will continue to service your pond for years to come. I’m not paid to say this!!! Lol. Great video!
Serpa Design, your vids bring me joy. Life is hard but your channel is one of the things that make it enjoyable. Your vids help me fight my depression and every upload makes me smile. Keep up the good work.:)
Keep on smiling! I used to suffer from occasional depression, so I understand. Glad I could bring joy to your life.
:)
This video was a dream come true. To see you and Weston work together...I honestly never thought I'd see that as you are two of my favorite scaping artists on youtube. I hope you work with him in the future and I'm super excited to see how that pond evolves!
Greg was out and did a video on my pond. I'm in Michigan and don't know even if I'll make the cut to be seen on his channel. It was great being interviewed by him I did my old pond headed up for 25 years. This new Aquascape system is truly the best enjoy your pond.
Dennis Feldmann it will!!!
Man, you know a videos great when you don’t even touch the fast forward button. Enjoy your awesome new pond, Tanner☺️
Tanner, as a mother of three sons, may I say that your mother must be so proud! You are incredibly talented, a true artist and master.
hi, tanner: i've seen these guys doing jobs on many aquatic shows. they surprise me every time. i just can't believe they do this in 8 hrs. you'll really enjoy putting the finishing touches on the pond. plenty of plants and a variety of colorful fish. have fun and enjoy. carmine p.
CARMINE PETRACCA it’s what we do for a living! Thanks for watching
It's great that your talents, with a little help from your new friends, have grown to such a size. I can't wait to see the progress with plants and critters. I lost a lot of fish from herons and raccoons in the past. I'd suggest a Motion-Activated Animal Repeller/Sprinkler, Havahart and Orbit both make good ones
Welcome to “Living the Aquascape Lifestyle!” Tanner!
Amen!
Wow! This is a dream of mine-I am living vicariously through you! It looks and sounds great. Another wonderful video from you! i wonder if you could still see the pond if you put a short fence railing across the front of your porch. If so, that would make it seem a little more private for you when you are sitting out there. People could still see you but it would just soften their view of you.
The pond turned out awesome. The pond in the back is also very nice.👍👍😊
Awesome! I look forward to seeing all the additions. The neighborhood frogs and other wildlife are thanking you with having two ponds in the area.
These are the things that motivate me to want to do UA-cam. Seeing everything you do I always draw parallels to what I have. My tons of animals and pond and such. Plus my insane love of plants and fish. I love your content along with Rachel O’Learys. I love seeing fellow Pennsylvanians too!
I loved the DIY pond and I love this one! The sound of running water is so relaxing
Aija no problem with cold!
Beautiful wifey made it in a video!! Looks awesome!
It's gorgeous Tanner. I can't wait to see how you plant it. I also love your DIY pond. I'm looking forward to seeing the backyard pond as it's plant grow in too.
this is my favorite channel on youtube
Great to see you collaborating with my boy Greg. You two have a ton in common and I loved seeing your build come together so beautifully. Welcome to our huge Aquascape family!!
Thank you so much. I'm honored to be a part of the Aquascape family. You raised a good man!
Just found your channel a couple days ago and I love it! So happy you collabed with Greg!
Knowing your artwork this wil be an even more beautiful ecosystem when you ad more plants, mosses and your own special touch.
Greetings from a big fan from the Netherlands!
clicking on this video at lightning speed
Maybe your backyard pond can be a theme pond. Change it during the seasons or holidays. Or you can create a story behind it and make it look aged and fantastical as if unearthed because of the rebirth of magic or a Shinto homage. All your work is amazing! Can’t wait to do this one day!
It's about time Ed and Greg showed up with their magic there. If anyone in the universe deserves an Aquascape Pond, it's you.
Vicki K Thanks for your support Vicki!
I can't believe you got him and his boys in for a collab with you!! So happy for you man!!
I saw you on his Instagram and have never been so excited in my life for a video to upload.😍😍 congrats on the pond. Love your channel.
Unlike other comments about how quickly people can respond, I took the time to watch the entire video (call me old-fashioned). You have a beautiful pond out front now and I have to agree with you about the pools in the falls. That's a great feature. I can't wait to see it finished.
I appreciate that! I do the same thing, so I completely understand. I'm glad you liked the build!
Robert S. Robert S. I watched this twice plus showed my babies daddy this video plus watched the other video on tussey landscaping channel.. and i still don’t have a profound highly educated wise comment. I wish i could be more like you.
@@myothergem Give up TB. It'll never happen so crawl back into whatever hole you came out of.
Robert S. i just exposed u for what u really are. Stuck up, and not genuine. Not humble either. Your flattery is exposed now, fraud. 🤗
@@myothergem You're not worth my time. Later, #2.
Funny, the last video I watched was one of Venus fly trap plants & pond you did for your parents @ their home. Now the 3rd or 4th & here & your married rocking in a chair next to your wife & have a fabulous home. Nice & happy for you.
Good pond build... Amazing to see pros at work...
Excellent work all involved. For the area the rain + tractor situation messed up, just get a stirrup hoe and hoe the area, add seed for whatever you want to see there, and water it for a few weeks. All fixed. The pond looks great man!!!
Beautiful doesn't even come close to describing this pond. It came out awesome. It fits in so perfectly with your house. I love the love everything about this. I can't wait to see the fish in there.
There is not one word to describe this build. It’s awe inspiring❤️🇦🇺
Oh my god it is so beautiful.
The sound of the water is very relaxing.........I would be napping by it.
If I ever have the money, I want Gregg and his crew to dig up my yard!! Goes without saying you are welcome to come along Tanner! Great project and great video.
Pond is beautiful.
I would be wary of the risk of flooding if it was my house, but I'm sure you've taken precautions if it's even an issue where you live.
I love the naturalistic effect. Really special.
Tanner and Greg in the same video? Hell yes!
I LOVE YOUR PONDS! Can't wait to have my own someday, you have inspired me to do it. Thank you and enjoy your beautiful front and back ponds.
Moving into a new house in a few weeks so i can finally have my own pond, this has given me so many ideas! Really love your channel.
Love it! Greg Rocks! He definitely has it down to a science. Enjoy brother! Peace!
Great to see you team up with Greg and the Aquascape team.. they do some amazing work and it seemed natural for you guys to finally meet. The new pond looks great!
Beautiful!!! That waterfall is gorgeous. Greg's team knows how to get it done. I still think that you did a great job on your back yard diy pond.
Blessings
I've build a raised pond with window , but it's very similar to your diy pond , also I'm very like you , I love every living being , and I want my home to be a sanctuary of life ... good luck to you.
That is a very lovely pond and waterfall. I can't wait to see updates when all the planting has grown in more.
Stunningly beautiful!!!! Nice touch of fissidens Tannin Tanner!
I know this is late since this video was posted almost two months ago, but this makes me so happy knowing you're in PA(i have a chance of getting the guys in the video to help if i'm ever able to do something like this). My family is initially from Pittsburgh, and i absolutely love the things you've created! everything about this pond is absolutely incredible! with the pond in your back yard it's incredible looking, not exactly the style i would've thought of but it's absolutely beautiful! I'm just speechless by these builds! sorry for ranting, this is the first post after watching many many of your videos, they're incredible!
A little corner of the Rockies at home, great for a nap! ...
Just wanted to say to anyone seeing this, I did this by hand with 3 guys including me over the course of 2-3 weeks for a koi pond, and it was not easy work at all. Seeing them dig this hole so fast really draws some insane conclusions to how hard these people worked in such a short span of time.
Greg, Ed and Serpa, my fav UA-camrs... Great video
A good use YT earnings, while also giving back to the community by creating a video on how it was all put together. I have a small water feature and would love a larger, more natural one like this, but since I'm in California and we are always in a drought - I will have to be satisfied by admiring yours. I'm wondering how much more wildlife you are having with building these two water features in your front and backyard?
Cannot wait to see it fully planted and stocked!
My 2 favorite UA-camrs, my 2 Role-models collaborate...Wow I'm excited!!!
Can't wait to see what this looks like when everything's completely done! Looks amazing already!
Wow wow wow!!!! I could watch that pond for hours!
Can't wait to see how you transform this to a magical world
Nice job, love that you added your touches to it, really made a huge difference from others I've seen them do. Your pod is beautiful enjoy those quiet moments with your wife!
I’m glad I stopped watching Netflix as soon as I saw the notification! This is an awesome video! 😍
You added your own style and comments to the pond construction.
I can’t wait to see the plants and fishes you’ll add to this. I think it needs more moss, sourced locally of course 😁🐠🐟
Just realized this is my third comment! Can’t say enough on how beautifully shot and made this pond is.
Yesssssss! Awesome!
I love the reveal of the small fleet of construction vehicles at 2:51
wow man. After watching your first pond build. And then watching your second. what an accomplishment tackling the first one by yourself man. and done right. by hand. BRAVO SIR
Think this is my favourite aquascape pond I’ve seen so far
Wonderful. You were really patient with their boisterousness. Admirable!
Thank you for explaining the processes. Aquascaping is a fine art with tried and true science behind it. Absolutely lovely pond and waterfall.
That's a sweet pond. I liked the first one too.
I really like this, it is such a natural looking design and a great feature to your frint yard, I can't wait to see what you end up planting.
WOWWWW you and your wife have a lovely house and im sure your neighbors probably love hearing that pond run as much as you do. i know i would be jealous if i was ur neighbor
Stunning! Be awesome to watch as you add stuff and as it matures - keep us updated :)
Wow Wow Wow!!!! That is GORGEOUS!! 😊😊❤❤❤
I like both ponds, their both unique and one of a kind. Awesome job on both, can't wait for all the finishing touches and future episodes.
Both of the ponds you have are gorgeous😍
Absolutely beautiful finished project. This turns your front yard into a real showpiece.
You did an amazing job with this video. There are some great shots there. Congratulations on joining the aquascape family!
The sound of the waterfall was so relaxing 😌
I'm glad you got to work with them that's awesome man excited for you!
This made me happy that you guys worked together. Beautiful pond!!!!
I love both ponds for different reasons but I think this is my favorite one. It's just so beautifully natural looking and I know you'll make it even more beautiful. I really hope you show us updates for both in a few months!
Wow!!!! Beautiful. The waterfall is amazing! Great job.
New to the channel, and I absolutely love your content. Not only are the things you upload to your channel visibly pleasing and calming, but it is also very informative. I get excited every time I see you have made a new video!
I love Greg and everyone from Aquascape. they've done some AMAZING ponds. I've been watching his videos on the aquascape youtube channel and I've been blown away.
I like the first pond the most theres something about things being made with love and i think thats what makes the first pond special btw tanner your videos are awesome
I've been following your channel for a while. If asked, I can't thunk of a channel I pay more attention to than yours. I'd pay to pick your brain for a few hours. Keep it up, man. PLEASE get to that dedicated moss identification video soon.
Epic! Taner you deserve this!
Can't wait to see how this pond develops!
By the way the addition of the wood was brilliant really adds a pleasing touch
Love it! Now they just need to go over to Rachel O'Leary's house!
Yes! I've been thinking this for a while now. If anyone deserves a premium Aquascape Ecosystem pond in their yard it's Rachel 😁
Except Rachel know a heck of a lot than "the pond guy" he's just like the two dudes from Tanked just a sale's man!
Her and I were in contact about it actually. I'm going to talk about it with him next time I see him.
@@tofton1977 I'd say that's untrue. I spent the whole day with him and he definitely knows what he's doing.
Yo, this is weird to write because nobody really ever comment things like this, but Tanner looks really good in this video 🤗
You’re always a pretty human being. Keep doing your thing and what a nice looking pond! Much respect 🙏🏻
Lol thanks! I'll take the compliment!
Wow! Just gorgeous! Great job to all!
The waterfall reminds me of a few falls I’ve seen in the UP. Makes me feel very nostalgic, and I absolutely love it!
whats the UP
