I've been building ponds since the 80's and you are one of the most professional, helpful, creative installers I've ever seen! I love your eye for aesthetics, your attention to detail and job site cleanliness, and the fact that you're willing to give away advice (instead of making it "secret", so no one will "steal" your secrets!). I hope you are covered up with business!! And don't forget, when you get busier than you want to be, raise your rates by 10-20% so that you'll work more profitably, not harder!
no videos for parts 2, 14 and 17 even with out them I learned a lot , and i loved how professional you and your crew were and how much you put into the detail of your work thanks for sharing
Hi Eric, just wanted to thankyou for the great series on pond building. I'm a single fifty something woman and got inspiration from your show and now have two great ponds. I enjoy them all the time and everyone is impressed. I always tell them to watch yourr show to see how its done. My ponds have been running for a couple years now with no problems. THANKS
Thank you so much for sharing Nancy! I am thrilled that our efforts on these tutorial videos have inspired you. Sharing with your friends is the highest compliment!
I watched all these videos when I originally did my first pond in 2014 and just rewatched them in anticipation of expanding the pond this year. Great stuff, I know I'll be referring back to them plenty. Thank you!!
I watched this series about 2 years ago basically lusting over the Pond, just bought my first house so looks like I'm going to give it a bash, thank you for an incredibly clear tutorial.
ThePondDigger Thanks!!! I am the wife, Jeannie...not Mike...I am trying my best to get him convinced! I've wanted one for years upon years! Thanks for the support...I am just about to listen to the videos again as I sew! Its great entertainment for me!
Thank you! I'm building my first pond, and this entire series was incredibly informative and educational, and helped me get over a few areas where I was hesitant. My pond is now up and running and I'm adding the edging and plants. Thank you for all the tips and help. You're definitely a 'Pond Whisperer'! (and I loved Billy Jean!)
I need to thank you at least 21 times(maybe 100 times as I watched each of your videos at least twice) on your fantastic series. I have been thinking about rebuilding my pond for years but after your videos I felt more confidant that I wasn't screwing up. Most is done now except for some top landscape. That Helix skimmer is great as well as all of your tips. Thank You Again
Just want to say thank you for that. I live in South Africa and we are landscaping a big development with ponds. I learned so much from you. Thanks. Connie
Connie this makes me so happy to hear we have had an influence on your project in South Africa! Thank you for your feedback and when you finish up your project I would love to see some video footage. Stay tuned as we have a busy year planned for filming!
I'm completely blown away by this series. Eric and his crew are true artists. I'm about to launch my own 4000+ gallon pond from scratch, and I intend to copy much of what they demonstrated. Thank you for this truly great series.
This whole series has been great. Would love to see the pond today after years of settling. Looking forward to more videos. And really pumped about building a pond.
Eric. Dude. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. My own, tiny front yard project is ten times better than it was now because of your help. Much appreciated!
Thank you, Eric! I was actually starting a waterfall /creek /pond project when I found your videos. I just finished watching the entire series. It's very well done and I found it extremely helpful. I just canceled some online material orders when I learned of better options from your videos! Now, for the same cost, my water feature will be of much higher quality thanks to your most informative videos. I really appreciate that!
YES!!!! I don't like to hear about bad ponds being filled in! I believe all the PONDS GONE WRONG should be brought up to speed with proper construction techniques! I'm so very glad we inspired you to keep the pond!
Thanks for all the tips throughout all the videos. My pond that I will build is going to be so much better thanks to your and your teams efforts. People will think that I got professionals to build it for me!
Well Eric I have to say this is one of the greatest DIY videos I have had the pleasure of watching. I learned so much and see all the mistakes in doing my first pond. I getting ready to redo my existing pond and using all of your ideas and suggestions. I was really pleased on how you explain everything enabling a DIY'r like my self to construct a pond and feel confident in doing so. I applaud you sir!!!!. THANK YOU KEN FROM PA
Ken Wolf Awesome Ken!!! We love to support the Weekend Warriors!!! If you are close to Downingtown, PA stop in to Pickering Feed and Pond Shop. They are one of our Helix Life Support Affiliates! Thank you for watching and thanks for your support! If you stop in be sure to tell them The Pond Digger Sent you!
Thanks for taking the time to post this. I have been a fish hobbyist for many years and have always wanted my own pond. You definitely inspired me to get to work. Thanks for the step by step videos. I will be sure to refer to them often during my process!
Thanks for answering the couple questions I had along the way and most of all, thanks for providing us the opportunity to follow along with the build. This was just in time for the build I have planned with my son next month.
I have a pond in my front garden with koi and goldfish in it I am thinking of doing a new one in my back garden and using the equipment from the front pond, I love your videos and have watched them to get ideas and inspiration you are great at explaining stuff from start to finish. Great work !!!!! Siobhan in Ireland
Yes! Aquatic plantings inside pond liner behind rocks is essential for beautification, naturalization and habitat value! I've always rocked around them in pots, but I like your "burrito"!!!😍🤣👍
Great series! I wish we could have seen the whole pond, not just the waterfall at the end. The goat was hilarious! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge with us!
What a wonderful gift this series is. So well planned, explained, and executed. A+++ for your thoughtfulness and time to make this for us less courageous folks . You answered questions I didn't know I had and your tips about construction and rock composition are very much appreciated. Very, very well done! Grazie!!
that was great to watch. Thank you so much for the great advice. my wife and I are inspired and going to build a koi pond. Because of your videos we have a really good grasp on things.
Was looking for a summer project with my boys. This series was amazing in helping us understand how to tackle this project. Very excited to get going, thanks!
Let me know if we can help at any level. If you need an equipment list, rock and gravel materials list or emotional support hit me up! eric@theponddigger.com and follow me on Instagram and Instagram Stoties for daily inspiration
I am SO grateful to have found your series - thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I had a koi pond for several years that was "designed" by the previous home owner, so my brain has been working on the design of my ideal pond for years. Now I am in the process of building my dream pond - we are finally making it happen! You have given me invaluable tips and techniques - and more importantly confidence. My biggest frustration is that I cannot move large rocks by myself, haha! This is a great video series, and I intend to share it on my blog. Many thanks!!
I believe this video series will make history. Im one of many other people who used this very professional and detailed instructional video to build our own pond. You should think about starting a TV channel, something like “this old house” but specialized in pond bulding. Thank you so much.
I really like your video series. Thank you for posting it. I admit I was questioning some of what you were doing, but the end result speaks for it’s self. Great pond and great job. 👍🏻
I have wanted to build a pond for soooo long, and your videos are so detailed that I feel inspired. Thank you so much, I'm going to start mine very soon!
I live in SW Missouri so ponds like this are very rare. I ran across this series while looking to build a similar but indoor pond for my new shop. I really enjoy your attention to detail and your team. Thanks for putting this video series together. PS I loved the little goat. I don't think that the plant's will survive with him running around ;)
I am looking forward to every single one of them and can't wait. Thanks heaps for all the work you do, the actual pond builds are hard enough as it is, let alone filming the work and uploading the videos. As I have already said, you all do great work!!!
Thanks for the series! We have an existing 13 x 9 Koi pond that has been in dire need of a total redo since we bought the house. We are serious DIYers and were considering just filling in the hole but your series has inspired us to get ur done. Thanks!!!!!
Thank you for this terrific series! Especially the tips on edge treatment are very helpful. The final result is surely something you guys can be proud of. Take care!
Thanks for putting this together. Gave me some great ideas. One thing that was missing was connecting the plumbing. I saw the drain off the waterfall but I have no idea why it is needed. Would of sealed the deal to show all the plumbing hook ups being installed. No doubt you guys work your butt off doing these builds. Awesome job!
Hey Catherine I'm glad to hear we have bee a source of inspiration for you! Yes our location in Yucaipa is a retail center. I would suggest a large holding pool for your fish during the renovation of the pond. We use a 6' round by 3' deep collapsible koi show pool for holding koi during renovations. You will need to fast the koi for a few days before your move them to the holding tank and aerate the pool heavily. Monitor for ammonia spikes daily and change 50% of the water each week.
Enjoyed every series.!!... ha couldn't wait for the next to show. Great stuff Eric..!!! This is my second year with my "backyard" pond, and added a small waterfall. Haha, it turned out well, only a couple mistakes. Thanks to your series, I'm ready to go full out next year. You and the crew helped so much.!!
Absolutely top series, you made every episode very informative and well worth the time. If you were in the UK I would have been tempted to use you for my project. Many thanks.
The goat not shy to get among the action from the first episodes his was so small now he or she getting big. Beautiful fish pond look excellent thumbs up...
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Very good production values. I hope these videos get you more clients than you know what to do with! PS I miss the goat already!
Roger M Thanks! Yes we are busy! FYI the goat is at our headquarters Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm if you want to come visit. She's OFF on Sunday and Monday!
These have been the most educational how to videos I have ever seen. I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication. I would love to see you place all the videos into one long video though. I am subscribed to your channel!!!! I would love to see a pond build specifically for northern climates. I live in Amsterdam Netherlands and we get a substantial amount of snow and have freezing temperatures which makes me weary about having a pond.
Absolutely stunning.Sir it was pleasure watching all your tutorials.I am from India and all these stuff are not easily available here,but we have alternatives. I am in process of building a small pond in my backyard and this has helped me a lot. You guys are passionate about your work.
Definitely, Its all in process and we are also making a step by step video and best part is even we have our own mascot like your goat,but ours is not that well behaved..
I sat and watched this from beginning to end in 1 sitting. It was great! But I think Billy Jean was the star LOL Must have been a real hoot(nanny) working around her Hahaha
+Russell Beach Yes! I love to hear about the binge watchers! Billy Jean is a hoot and we take her to headquarters Tuesday through Saturday so her fans can come and visit her! People still take selfies with her!
Hi Eric....really brilliant series of videos. You have a great presentation style and a charming way of embedding your experience into your videos.I wish you were working in the UK. Thanks for your great efforts.
You really have me stumped on this one!!!!!! Snakes as predators! YIKES! I'm a Southern California guy with no series snakes to worry about in our ponds. I have heard of water moccasins in pond skimmers!!! RUN TO THE HILLS!!! But seriously I don't have any quality suggestions besides MOVE TO CALIFORNIA. Best of luck to you.
It is a beautiful pond and really loving it, thank you for sharing this to us, really appreciated your quality work and good information. I wish to have one like this in my backyard but I just can't afford to built it nor do the work myself. Thanks again.
awesome series. Got to be the best and most informative pond build series ever. Eric, if you ever do a pondless waterfall series, I hope you show us all how to do that also. Yes it's similar but would be educational none the less.
Thank you very much for the wonderful videos, you are a real artist!! One little thing I don't think you mentioned and many newbies don't understand. The volume of the pump dictates how much sound the waterfall makes. Many folks are disappointed (in the long run) by how noisy they are. They are also hesitant to run the larger pumps all day because of the latent thought of how much energy they are using. JMO... think about downsizing the pump or adding a second pump that is lower volume to give an option of which one they want to run. For example, the waterfall you made here with a 500GPH pump or even 320GPH would create a sound you could sit and have a conversation next to.
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR ALL YOU SHOW!!! IT IS BEATIFUL , AND i LEARD TO MUCH ABOUT. I MADE A POND!! ALL I LEARD FOR YOU!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH, YOU ARE WONDERFUL..
We've been mobilized around the country for pond builds, yes. I am traveling to Northern California next month for a project. We currently have our toes in a couple projects in Texas that look like we will mobilize to before the end of the year. We have a project in Orlando that is considering bringing in our team but we may have them covered with one of our Authorized Helix Retailers & Contractors. Wife HATES it when we travel! We have a project that breaks soon in San Diego, 3 week in a motel!
Hi Eric,terrific job,wonderful that you show the how to every step of the way,you know,i really was hoping to see you clear the water and introduce fish into the pond,as all along,we were all watching you construct a "fish" pond,now without a mention of fish or introducing fish into their new home....just saying that this would have completed this set of videos an been nice to see the how to, about that aspect of the fish pond,regardless,it was a very interesting and eye opening as well.
I really enjoyed this series. You are actually really good at explaining things in detail. The only think I missed is how to put or connect the water onto the pond.
I've been building ponds since the 80's and you are one of the most professional, helpful, creative installers I've ever seen! I love your eye for aesthetics, your attention to detail and job site cleanliness, and the fact that you're willing to give away advice (instead of making it "secret", so no one will "steal" your secrets!). I hope you are covered up with business!! And don't forget, when you get busier than you want to be, raise your rates by 10-20% so that you'll work more profitably, not harder!
Wonderful advice
I never seen any one show how to make a pond, all the way, THANK GOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! very good work,
+Karen Osche Thank God you enjoyed our series! Thank you for watching!
no videos for parts 2, 14 and 17 even with out them I learned a lot , and i loved how professional you and your crew were and how much you put into the detail of your work thanks for sharing
LOL. I totally binged on your playlist. Awesome work brother!

Watched all 21. You should keep making videos. You got me ready to go do this. Already planning. Thanks so much!!!
Awesome!
I watched this series about 2 years ago basically lusting over the Pond, just bought my first house so looks like I'm going to give it a bash, thank you for an incredibly clear tutorial.
Yep me too, totally binge watched every episode! I've come to the conclusion that we need you in our backyard in florida!
Beautiful work! 🤍🤍
I have seen this twice and I love your pond and waterfall...maybe in my next life I will get hubby to do one. Thank you for the fun!
We can help! Let us know!
ThePondDigger Thanks!!! I am the wife, Jeannie...not Mike...I am trying my best to get him convinced! I've wanted one for years upon years! Thanks for the support...I am just about to listen to the videos again as I sew! Its great entertainment for me!

Just want to say thank you for that. I live in South Africa and we are landscaping a big development with ponds. I learned so much from you. Thanks. Connie

Nothing like watching a 24 video series and feeling pumped for the snow to melt and get started!
This whole series has been great. Would love to see the pond today after years of settling. Looking forward to more videos. And really pumped about building a pond.
Eric. Dude. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. My own, tiny front yard project is ten times better than it was now because of your help. Much appreciated!
Top Job! and thank you for such an in-depth set of instructional films. The goat is the quality control inspector and obviously loved
Paul Cochrane Goat was the inspector! BAAAAAAAhahahahahaha
Thank you, Eric! I was actually starting a waterfall /creek /pond project when I found your videos. I just finished watching the entire series. It's very well done and I found it extremely helpful. I just canceled some online material orders when I learned of better options from your videos! Now, for the same cost, my water feature will be of much higher quality thanks to your most informative videos. I really appreciate that!
Watched every episode from the beginning, fair to say now I WILL be investing in a pond!
YES!!!! I don't like to hear about bad ponds being filled in! I believe all the PONDS GONE WRONG should be brought up to speed with proper construction techniques! I'm so very glad we inspired you to keep the pond!
The goat is so cute awwwww.
Thanks for all the tips throughout all the videos. My pond that I will build is going to be so much better thanks to your and your teams efforts. People will think that I got professionals to build it for me!
i just love this guy he is the best pond guy ever!

What a brilliant series. Going to defiantly build a big pond of our own now. Well done guys. Dafydd UK.
Wow! glad I watched these. So much more goes into building a pond than I ever would have thought of.
I hear that a lot! When we get down to it theres a lot to do!
I believe this video series will make history. Im one of many other people who used this very professional and detailed instructional video to build our own pond. You should think about starting a TV channel, something like “this old house” but specialized in pond bulding.
Thank you so much.
That series is high on our priority list. Most likely get on that in August!
I really like your video series. Thank you for posting it. I admit I was questioning some of what you were doing, but the end result speaks for it’s self. Great pond and great job. 👍🏻
My husband and i started building a pond and had no clue what we were doing!!!!! because of your videos our pond came out amazing!!!!!
Looks great! Thanks for the series. Picked up a lot of tricks and techniques.
I was supposed to sleep in early today... Binged through them all. Great tutorial!
Another Masterpiece. I've learned a lot watching Your excellent series, thanks, blessings, and respect.
I have wanted to build a pond for soooo long, and your videos are so detailed that I feel inspired. Thank you so much, I'm going to start mine very soon!
Be sure to send me a link to the video when you complete the project. Let me know if you need any assistance in the design.
I live in SW Missouri so ponds like this are very rare. I ran across this series while looking to build a similar but indoor pond for my new shop. I really enjoy your attention to detail and your team. Thanks for putting this video series together.
PS I loved the little goat. I don't think that the plant's will survive with him running around ;)
+augoldfinger Thank you for the comment and thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful job, great attention to detail. I bet the homeowner was amazed.
I am looking forward to every single one of them and can't wait.
Thanks heaps for all the work you do, the actual pond builds are hard enough as it is, let alone filming the work and uploading the videos.
As I have already said, you all do great work!!!
Thanks so much for making this video series! I watched all the videos and I feel much more prepared to start planning my pond.
Thanks for the series! We have an existing 13 x 9 Koi pond that has been in dire need of a total redo since we bought the house. We are serious DIYers and were considering just filling in the hole but your series has inspired us to get ur done. Thanks!!!!!
Hey we have a wide range of fans from Sailors to Priests. :) Gangsters to Preachers. The art of water touches all that breath.
Absolutely breathtaking your a pond genius thanks for the video God Bless
Pond goals! Thanks for the series. It was very inspirational.
Thank you for this series of videos, I've learned a lot of good tips by watching!
You are very welcome!!!

+Petra Johansson Thanks for watching> The edge treatment section was my favorite!
Dude, You are a real Artist ! Beautifully done.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support
That's my kinda digger! 6' is great! You're koi kids will be in Heaven!
Thanks for all the videos. Much appreciated.
Thanks for putting this together. Gave me some great ideas. One thing that was missing was connecting the plumbing. I saw the drain off the waterfall but I have no idea why it is needed. Would of sealed the deal to show all the plumbing hook ups being installed. No doubt you guys work your butt off doing these builds. Awesome job!
Hey Catherine I'm glad to hear we have bee a source of inspiration for you! Yes our location in Yucaipa is a retail center.

This is my second year with my "backyard" pond, and added a small waterfall. Haha, it turned out well, only a couple mistakes.
Thanks to your series, I'm ready to go full out next year. You and the crew helped so much.!!
Such a science behind this hobby- very interesting. You sir, are a true pond professional.
+Alex Kingcole Thank you kindly!
An excellent video set 👍 this has given me the confidence to build my own here in the uk. Thank you, stay safe and take care 🍻
Great series of vids. Currently digging in the front yard and finding your info invaluable. Thanks so much! Regards Peter from OZ.
Brilliant! That's the kind of confidence you need to get er dun!
Good enough to swim in. Great tutorial, thanks.
+magzire Thank you!
Amazing!! This is exactly what I need to liven up my back yard. That's for the series. It really made the process easier to understand.
Awesome! Go for it!
Absolutely top series, you made every episode very informative and well worth the time.
If you were in the UK I would have been tempted to use you for my project.
Many thanks.
The goat not shy to get among the action from the first episodes his was so small now he or she getting big. Beautiful fish pond look excellent thumbs up...
Best pond videos out there. Amazing info. Thanks!!!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Very good production values. I hope these videos get you more clients than you know what to do with!
PS I miss the goat already!
Roger M Thanks! Yes we are busy! FYI the goat is at our headquarters Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm if you want to come visit. She's OFF on Sunday and Monday!
ThePondDigger Make sure she get's a 1099; I don't think she needs to be an employee, though ;)
I am in awe. You build stunning ponds
Hey! Appreciate the videos! Just stumbled across them recently and planning to build my first pond. These were extremely helpful.
Just watched all 21 parts back to back. Very interesting and some great tips. thanks
favorite part about this series "THE GOAT"
+Beast_Rebs_52 We love her!
seen a ton of your videos. Bro you are a genius! The ideas you come up with are amazing. Working on a pond of my own right now. Grind on my man!
+James Sadowski Grind it out Bro! Let me know if there is anything we can do to support your DIY build!!
Sounds like a great pond! 6' depth is sweet!
These have been the most educational how to videos I have ever seen. I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication. I would love to see you place all the videos into one long video though. I am subscribed to your channel!!!! I would love to see a pond build specifically for northern climates. I live in Amsterdam Netherlands and we get a substantial amount of snow and have freezing temperatures which makes me weary about having a pond.
Thanks for gluing to the effort of doing this series. Really helpful.
Absolutely stunning.Sir it was pleasure watching all your tutorials.I am from India and all these stuff are not easily available here,but we have alternatives.
I am in process of building a small pond in my backyard and this has helped me a lot.
You guys are passionate about your work.
+Taram Sawant We are excited to offer Passion for Ponds Globally! Send us a video link to your pond when you are done!
Definitely, Its all in process and we are also making a step by step video and best part is even we have our own mascot like your goat,but ours is not that well behaved..
I sat and watched this from beginning to end in 1 sitting. It was great! But I think Billy Jean was the star LOL Must have been a real hoot(nanny) working around her Hahaha
+Russell Beach Yes! I love to hear about the binge watchers! Billy Jean is a hoot and we take her to headquarters Tuesday through Saturday so her fans can come and visit her! People still take selfies with her!
Hi Eric....really brilliant series of videos. You have a great presentation style and a charming way of embedding your experience into your videos.I wish you were working in the UK. Thanks for your great efforts.
Fantastic videos mate, I seriously want a pond in my backyard now.
MY job is done here...... Thanks for watching
You really have me stumped on this one!!!!!! Snakes as predators! YIKES! I'm a Southern California guy with no series snakes to worry about in our ponds. I have heard of water moccasins in pond skimmers!!! RUN TO THE HILLS!!! But seriously I don't have any quality suggestions besides MOVE TO CALIFORNIA. Best of luck to you.
It is a beautiful pond and really loving it, thank you for sharing this to us, really appreciated your quality work and good information. I wish to have one like this in my backyard but I just can't afford to built it nor do the work myself. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! I hope one day you will have a pond of your own.
Eric...Inspiring brother..It is amazing to see the transformation...My wife loved the goat....Time to get dirty and add some life to the backyard...
ive been watching the whole build i loved watching these great job
Your first plant is a large leaf Bacopa and the second one is a Golden Creeping Jenny. The creeping jenny is one of my favorite plants to use!
awesome series. Got to be the best and most informative pond build series ever. Eric, if you ever do a pondless waterfall series, I hope you show us all how to do that also. Yes it's similar but would be educational none the less.
Thank you very much for the wonderful videos, you are a real artist!!
One little thing I don't think you mentioned and many newbies don't understand. The volume of the pump dictates how much sound the waterfall makes. Many folks are disappointed (in the long run) by how noisy they are. They are also hesitant to run the larger pumps all day because of the latent thought of how much energy they are using. JMO... think about downsizing the pump or adding a second pump that is lower volume to give an option of which one they want to run. For example, the waterfall you made here with a 500GPH pump or even 320GPH would create a sound you could sit and have a conversation next to.
Good point. I actually love slow moving waterfalls. Follow us on Instagram for daily pond pro tips and inspiration. @theponddigger
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR ALL YOU SHOW!!! IT IS BEATIFUL , AND i LEARD TO MUCH ABOUT. I MADE A POND!! ALL I LEARD FOR YOU!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH, YOU ARE WONDERFUL..
We've been mobilized around the country for pond builds, yes. I am traveling to Northern California next month for a project. We currently have our toes in a couple projects in Texas that look like we will mobilize to before the end of the year. We have a project in Orlando that is considering bringing in our team but we may have them covered with one of our Authorized Helix Retailers & Contractors. Wife HATES it when we travel! We have a project that breaks soon in San Diego, 3 week in a motel!
Hi Eric,terrific job,wonderful that you show the how to every step of the way,you know,i really was hoping to see you clear the water and introduce fish into the pond,as all along,we were all watching you construct a "fish" pond,now without a mention of fish or introducing fish into their new home....just saying that this would have completed this set of videos an been nice to see the how to, about that aspect of the fish pond,regardless,it was a very interesting and eye opening as well.
Fabulous Job Eric!!! Very well done!!!
This is the best pond maker...I watched it from start to end
+mylene pedroso Thank you so much. It means a lot to me.
I really enjoyed this series. You are actually really good at explaining things in detail. The only think I missed is how to put or connect the water onto the pond.
Fantastic job really inspiring. Hate to think how much the rocks cost. It sure is a lovely job though so thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Thank you for watching!
