  • Today was like digging up a time capsule as we demo the first-ever Aquascape pond built 30 years ago! It's amazing to think it never leaked once over the years. Time to renovate this pond and give my long-time customer the upgrade he deserves!

    Omg! How exciting Greg! How cool to be able to go back to your first paying customer and redo the pond! That is just too cool! I am looking forward to what y'all recreated for this wonderful man...I have a feeling I am gonna get emotional...what a blessing. What a Wonderful man with a wonderful smile...I think I need to limp my ass to Illinois 😳😳😳😳 and break apart 5 ponds for you so I have the money for my transmission to get fixed. 😂😂😂😂 My truck has been broke down for a year now....I have had a lot of practice😃😃😃😃😃😃. Lord knows before my body got so broken I had torn down and rebuilt my own ponds at three different houses. I kept making volcano falls😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well I am sure those young men worked hard for you Greg. I am so looking forward to the completed New pond. I know it will be fabulous. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 God bless y'all

    My home town Wheaton IL in the house! I have bought my share of t-shirts from Rumple shirt skin too! Seeing someone who loves nature and runs a successful biz around it is so motivating.. Greg and the whole aquascape company make me dream of a midlife career change. In the meantime, keep making videos to feed my soul

    Sweet, I would have loved to make that much for a days work, back when I was that young, $500.00 would have been 3 months pay, That should give a bit of a hint on my age.. Loved it.. I so enjoy watching ponds being built, these small ones and the very large ones.. It always surprises me to see how much WOW, you can create, within such a small footprint...

    That is a testament to how well your ponds were built 30 years ago. As time evolves, things just get better so I can imagine how durable the redone pond will be.

    I remember when I met Greg at one of his Build a Pond in a Day classes in the Portland Oregon area in the early to mid 90s for landscape contractors. I was very impressed with him then and look at what he has accomplished in his life time.

    Good afternoon Greg hope your having an amazing day. Wow the pond and waterfalls really held up for your first pond. Both you and Ed are amazing and did great things with your company and the evolution of your products. Bring the football players to help was awesome. We hire young guys to help with our concrete pours depending on how many guys we need to run wheelbarrows. Can't wait to see what you and Ed do here i know its going to be awesome like always. Have an amazing day and I'll see you next video like always.

    Greatest test to the quality in the way you built your very 1st paying customers water garden and pond and since the very definition of the word quality is ~ the standard of something measured against others of a similar kind , the degree of excellence of something ~ I'm not the only person who has consistently watched all of the videos ( several of them more than once ) and I am positive that you have by far the most incredible results in the business and I will always have nothing but great things to say of the hard working crews you've been training over the 30 years!!!!
    I've been in a lot of homes for exactly the same time frame as a house painter & the Twin Cities and the surrounding areas have a few incredible guys and gals that I have been very fortunate enough to see the whole process with multiple million dollars on a gorgeous Lake Minnetonka home that Andrew from Gray Gardens had been doing one incredible transformation after another with close to the 30 years of yearly new project's . As you know that if the owners really likes you its going to create the best environment ....not every job has been roses for you but you have some serious skills that travel in your crew and your success is a real symbol for living and working hard to have a great life and the ULTIMATE for anyone to achieve
    The American dream 🗽

    Wife promised me a pond for my 50th next year. Hope I can find a CAC available in the state of Arkansas. Wouldn't do it with anyone else.

    I would love to see a rain-water harvesting / water feature project. Not finding much on this and feel it could be easy for homeowners and a good space to grow. Thanks.
