If this project interested you go check out this bigger and better one! I used all the same concepts from this video with a little extra detail :) ua-cam.com/video/ks48nw8x0NU/v-deo.html
A bunch of these vids have a buried reciprocal basin that sends the water back up to the top. I haven’t seen any of that in ur vids. How does the water go back from the bottom to the top of ur fountains?
Oh, so I see you have a long connector(hose) that the water is pumping through to get to the top. and then you hide behind the landscape! GENIUS! I was like wondering, like, "whoa, that's a strong little pump!" at first. Awesome! We are wanting to add water features around our house for our Autistic son and he would just love this! Thank you so much! :)
@@travisjantzer yeah please post a detail video on which pimp to buy and how to attach suction pump because I’m not sure how the water flows and so mechanics because I’m a first time home buyer and want curb appeal
You are all adorable and great energy. I'm in my 8th decade and am getting one done in front yard. Labor intensive and incredibly creative. I took notes so that when mine is done, I will definitely pay attention to the edges and sloping. It will be a dry creek, but will make sure the gutter downspout is directed to meet the start of the creek so when it rains, it will actually be useful instead of pooling on my pavers. Best wishes to you all.
They already do! We’ve gotten a lot of nice birds back since my wife and I started planting flowers and putting in water features :) the first night after I put the creek in this beautiful Dove took a bath in it.
Simple is where it's at. The way you've shown can add so much to a garden because it's not overly complicated or takes up too much room & it can be incorporated with other designs easily. I can imagine the additional curb appeal this has added to your home since it's in front of the house.
I know it’s a little late, but I’m definitely going to try and do this. My only question is about the pump setup. So there is one pump in the pond at the bottom that runs the water back to the top? Thanks @@travisjantzer
I was just pondering this tonight in my backyard and wasn’t even looking at yard videos, I wasn’t even talking out loud for the phone to overhear and suggest the video, didn’t even have it near me, it was charging... I’ve been trying to decide whether to make a wall fountain, independent yard fountain, or a stream, and the lines of the area would just be better to have a little stream, but I also want it quick and easy as you said, just a simple meandering run of water, and boom! There’s your video. No need to scour any more minutes, let alone hours of other videos, this is exactly what I was wanting to do. And I like your easy idea for creating the natural fluctuations of a riverbed. I’ve got some smooth logs I can just put underneath the liner to create those little variations... and the yard happens to slope in that spot already. What a plus! Always preferable to work with the natural terrain. And by the way, you have such a cute family, it’s just great to see a kid still happily drinking from the good old garden hose, enjoying yard time with mom and dad, and it’s also good to see a handsome guy who includes his very pretty wife and his adorable child front and center in the video, too. Family is so important...
This is a wonderful comment. I’m really glad you appreciate my video and I agree with you; family is very important! If you’re looking to tackle this project be sure to check out my channel, I have several water feature videos including a larger more in depth creek build that might be helpful :)
So I watched this video, and started making my creek and it turned out waaay harder than it looks. After watching like 50 videos, this is still my go-to video.
I've watched a few of your vids; I appreciate your tutorials. I am in the planning stages of putting in a Japanese Zen garden for my many bonsai and these ideas are on point. Future video in the process. Thank you for sharing.
My classmate does that for a living. I took horticulture in college and he had a nursery with another classmate. I interned there. We even sold tad poles.
Great job. Watching from the UK. Love the old wheelbarrow idea. Looking to do something similar, and now that wheelbarrow idea is in my head. Mine's a bit different, as I am having to build up over concrete, but the concept is now coming off your idea. Great stuff you two. Thanks.
Hey your little stream. looks better than some worth $10K nice job. It gives me hope for my own dyi project. Hope it stays working well as I have seen a few abandoned water features that become real eye sores.
I made a cleaning video for it this year. It held up over the winter but I got bored of it so I’ve completely redone it. Bigger and better. Video coming soon.
We created a creek on our playground for the children to play. It is fantastic especially at the beginning of each year when we redo it! The children of course move all the river rocks around. Wonderful play takes place within our creek. I feel like I cannot use a pump because the mud and sand that make would destroy the pump. We just use a hose and waste water. Any suggestions?
It was relatively simple. I'm motivating myself to build one in my backyard. It's the digging I'm dreading. Single mom here. The area I've chosen has lots of tree roots this why I want to put something eye-catching there.
We want to know what is the slope we would require to run a 40-foot stream from the waterful at the head of the stream to the pond. Like you we want to have puddles, etc.. we don't want it to run straight to the pond. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
Started converting my 1500-2000 gallon stream and pond to a pondless water feature and decided to use existing catchall box that pumps up to the top of the stream that had a ten gallon reservoir that dumps into existing stream 20 feet down to where the 5 foot deep pond is that I am only channeling a stream to the recovery box. My question is do you have to have a place for the excess rain to go and how do you deal with keeping the pond at the proper level to keep plant life alive when gone for long vacations.
Thank you SO Much! I've been on here several times in the last few years looking for a water feature that looks like the creek where I grew up. something Natural and simple and Finally, here it is. I got my rock last fall and chose a spot in my yard for the "creek". This is the year I will build it.
Glad I could help! Good luck with the build :) I’ve actually just this week completely rebuilt my creek so it’s 4 times the size! There should be a video soon. Hopefully it will be helpful too.
What kind of pump, how far did u bury the line? What do you do with it in winter time? Im in central IN, gets freezing here. Oh, and did u bury the pump too? Thnx. Luv it
new sub here, I am planning to do a simple water feature in our front yard and want it simple and cheap. this video helped alot. We are in portland and I think you may be in medford.
How did you figure out how deep the basins needed to be in order to have enough water to run the creek bed without it sucking it dry bringing it back up the return pipe to feed it?
the smaller the reservoir the more frequent it needs filled. this one was pretty small. So I had to top it off pretty regularly. other ones have been larger and more reliable.
❤wanna a feature with a nice water creek would be perfect to grow my 💧 watercress, and it looks good with the relaxing 😌 sound Vibes to just read a book or just bathe I the sun watching 👀 the ❤️ gardens bloom!
Travis am a subscriber I like your and am actually want to make one my self I just would like to know more about the water works like how does the water rotate or what pumps to get etc and thanks for sharing your work it’s awesome
I'm going to suggest raise the edges of the watercourse to prevent water inflow when it rains as this will introduce nutrients. With such a shallow run you may be susceptible to algae growth.
dry creek bed for rain gutter runoff? yea the overlaps are most important if you're recirculating water. You dont want it to drain out. but if its a seasonal dry creek then yea you dont have to worry about leaks too much.
I have now tried Solar pumps! I'm not sure the one I used is big enough for this project, but there are definitely options out there. If you're curious, I just posted the video about the ones I tried. I plan on making another video later with larger pumps.
you called the plastic that you down “pond liner” ; is that some special stuff just for putting down for a running lil creek? if so please give me that info. i just put in a beautiful creek in my front yrd and it has a leak at the lil pond at the end , where the water runs to. it has me totally bummed. it’s been a lot of work, but i want it to be rite when i’m done. lm in N.

Essentially pond liners are just a thick plastic sheet but there are various different materials and thicknesses they can be made from. They are usually engineered to be difficult to puncture and nontoxic for wildlife. Leaks are tricky. Sometimes its just water flowing over the edge where you dont expect it. other times its a puncture or tear in the liner.
Hey, love this video - it actually inspired me to try something similar. I'm close to being done with my stream but i'm losing water and so far can't find any leak to explain it. Curious if you have noticed any significant water loss in your stream(s) from purely evaporation, being that they're shallow and you've got water splashing up on rocks as it flows down through?
Hey everyone! its been a few months so I made a video about how I Clean my water Features! Its a short video and I think it's worth watching if you're thinking about installing something like this :) ua-cam.com/video/FhjnN7zTedw/v-deo.html
I'm new to your videos so apologies if you have what I'm asking readily available. Do you have a video showing the installation of the water lines and pump etc? I mean, how to connect the thingys with the things? Great video thank you!.
The thicker the better! I try and use at least 20ml. No leaks where its folded. Leaks (in my experience) are usually from animals getting nosy and poking holes, or from the dirt settling on the edges and the water flowing out over the side.
Hi, Travis! Thank you so much for this video; it's very informative. I have a question for you, if you have a moment. I want to replicate this design, but without the pond. I know I am going to need some sort of reservoir. Do you have any suggestions for how many gallons I would need for a design like this? Thank you so much.
the bigger the reservoir the better. water loss is inevitable with evaporation. But on a smaller feature 40-80 gallons is pretty good I think. It really depends.
Awesome built, curious what gph pump you used. You might have said in the video but I couldn't find it. Trying to build one soon was thinking an 8000gph?
I’m a huge fan of water fountains and creek water way! When I have land someday I’m gonna do this! I LOVED THE WAY YOURS LOOKED!!! By chance do you do fountains? I like doing indoor fountains and porch fountains and would love any that you have done or might do in the future😉
Hi Travis, very inspired by your videos, Travis, they are clear, informative and with all the necessary detail. In fact you make it look easy so I'll be having a go myself soon.Thanks for posting them. (UK)
Hi, looks great! I´m not sure if it´s been asked but I was wondering if you needed to plug the pump into a socket or whether it was solar powered and understand a bit more info of the mechanics of making it a reality for my front yard! Cheers!
So our issue is looking water and the ground around it being higher, creating a bog where our trashcan must be kept. Can we simply just dig until the ground around is lower for the runoff?
Tough to grow any type of turf under that tree... Love that you have used the wheelbarrow as containment for Water lettuce...? What is "the board" you used for rippling?

Water feature design and installations 👍
My classmate does that for a living. I took horticulture in college and he had a nursery with another classmate. I interned there. We even sold tad poles.
I like the idea of using boards under liner to create ripples. I’ll try that
This is absolutely amazing! Honestly, this is the best home made water feature I’ve seen on UA-cam. Keep it up!
You should add a rust protection coating to the wheel barrel. Great build!

Is the liner toxic? Does it affect the health of the water and fish?

What I am interested in, how you installing the water pump to circulate the water
How reliable is the liner ? Can you replace liner with clay and rocks instead ?
Simple and very natural looking, that’s what you want. I love the water feature, but I think I’ll keep mine for what’s it intended for 😂😂👍👍👍
Whats yours intended for? lol

I've always wanted a creek in my backyard
Absolutely amazing. You are very talente my friend. Beautiful.🤠💯👍God bless you and family.
Thank you kindly :)
I love your videos. thanks for posting and sharing. what liners and pumps do you recommend using today for features like this one? thank you!
What pump did you use, im from the U.K so need to work out gallons to litres , thanks
What are you using for your pump and how much does it cost monthly to run?
What kind of pump, how far did u bury the line? What do you do with it in winter time? Im in central IN, gets freezing here. Oh, and did u bury the pump too? Thnx. Luv it
You have inspired me to create one, and I made it running the the greenhouse. ❤
Real nice, just what I came for, and not a bunch of extra fluff.
Thanks! If you're looking for extra fluff I have that too. but that wasnt the point of this video. Glad it was helpful :)
You're really good at these. Thanks!
Hello, great vidio. How deep did you dig the deepest part of you pond? Also how big is your pump and the hole you dug for that.
About 18 inches which is very shallow. I would recommend at least 2 feet deep. This one had an 800 gph pump.
new sub here, I am planning to do a simple water feature in our front yard and want it simple and cheap. this video helped alot. We are in portland and I think you may be in medford.

Thanks for the sub! I have lots of other videos on this topic. Maybe start with my "pondless waterfalls 101" video?
I would love to know what pump you used and it there a solar one on amazon i can buy. I'd like to do this for my mini pond/river in Japan.
I'm going to suggest raise the edges of the watercourse to prevent water inflow when it rains as this will introduce nutrients. With such a shallow run you may be susceptible to algae growth.
If we want to create long dry creek , can we just overlap the pond liner for a foot or so or how long did you overlap the liner edges?
dry creek bed for rain gutter runoff? yea the overlaps are most important if you're recirculating water. You dont want it to drain out. but if its a seasonal dry creek then yea you dont have to worry about leaks too much.
Is there a solar pump you would advise?
I haven’t tried any solar pumps but I should!

Essentially pond liners are just a thick plastic sheet but there are various different materials and thicknesses they can be made from. They are usually engineered to be difficult to puncture and nontoxic for wildlife.
Leaks are tricky. Sometimes its just water flowing over the edge where you dont expect it. other times its a puncture or tear in the liner.
Hey, love this video - it actually inspired me to try something similar. I'm close to being done with my stream but i'm losing water and so far can't find any leak to explain it.

Thank-you. The water is being circulated. Do you need to replenish the water?
Yea periodically. Just because of evaporation.

Hi, Travis! Thank you so much for this video; it's very informative. I have a question for you, if you have a moment. I want to replicate this design, but without the pond.

the bigger the reservoir the better. water loss is inevitable with evaporation. But on a smaller feature 40-80 gallons is pretty good I think. It really depends.
Hello, what weight of stones / number of bags did you need? Thanks!
I don’t recall.. sorry. It really depends on the size of the project and every one is different
Awesome built, curious what gph pump you used. You might have said in the video but I couldn't find it. Trying to build one soon was thinking an 8000gph?

So our issue is looking water and the ground around it being higher, creating a bog where our trashcan must be kept. Can we simply just dig until the ground around is lower for the runoff?
Tough to grow any type of turf under that tree... Love that you have used the wheelbarrow as containment for Water lettuce...? What is "the board" you used for rippling?
Just a piece to raise up the liner so it was not one continuous flow but more of a river rapid.
what do you if it rains too much, the overflow
It just over flows at the bottom. Since mine is near the street it all ends up in the irrigation ditch.
