      No matter what, everything of value and worth, are ALWAYS harder than it looks to start. Everyone including wildlife benefits from ponds! We NEED NATURE. We forget though, often, to go outside, we forget it brings us calmness, serenity, and we breathe a little deeper. 🌲 If you own your land, go dig a hole to start so you know you’re up to the task or not. Decide value. If you don’t own, buy a tabletop fountain, or look online how to make your own for cheap. It’s the starting thats hardest. Do as Mr Z said look up his recommendation. Why do we make our dreams and goals so hard? First we crawl, then walk, then run. And if you get to dig a hole, your muscles you havnt used in awhile will remind you you’re crawling outta bed the next day 🙏🏻🙏🏻😝😝😝 BLESSINGS OF LOVE

      @@lindabuck2777 Definely some wise words! Just finished my 8 thousand gallon pond, without any help or use of any tipe of machine.
      The rocks i got from our own property since we have quite a bit of land in a rural area in Brazil.
      If i can do it, any person with some time and perseverance can too.

    I've always loved water features and nature in general. As soon as I found aquascape, i knew i had to work there.
    Right know I am about to turn 13 and have 5 indoor fountians and 1 outdoor aquascape urn that I installed. I cant wait to work at aquascape and build waterfeatures every day and have something like this in my backyard.

    I have 2 ponds in my backyard. I wish i could transform them into what you have there. One of my greatest pleasures is feeding my fish and ducks every evening. I can sit for hours on the pond bank just relaxing in the peace and quiet. My pond has bass, catfish, blue gills, sunfish, painted turtles, alligator snapping turtles, and this spring I had an albino soft shell appear. I figure she came to lay eggs and decided to stay. She's very shy and only appears late in the evening. Love, love, love your back yard.

I put it in my front yard so my neighbors and passerbys could enjoy it. Planning a bigger pond for my back yard. I did all the digging everything by myself it took me 3 months. It is thriving and it gets prettier every year that passes. I don't have to maintain it much...it takes care of itself. Everyone should have one they are so peaceful ❤️ love your channel!
