Pasaros por my casa 🏡🤗 Muy buen trabajo
At 3:06 you use the white adapter that connects the PVC pipe to the corrugated drainage pipe, do you have the link or name of that item so I can buy it?
Something I bought at Menards or Home Depot. Sorry, I don't remember what it was called. Thanks for watching!
You guys deed wonderful job, beautiful transformation!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for watching!
Good rework on a bad pond, such large koi in a pond not deep enough the pump pit was deeper. How you made the intake bay it will need cleaning regularly to much fish s**t will destroy the nitrogen cycle.. and make methane
Love that bench with the swan arms.
Thx a mil for sharing this totally spell-binding & exciting video of a true lover and profound expert of nature in action! Wow! This is better than Home Alone! serious!!👌👋✌💥💫. ps - not all eco lovers prefer the plastic lining trench option? i.e, if plastics in fact were used in the operation? Are there more natural options than plastics? This notwithstanding- The Ending !!!! congrats also to ur sxcript writer, shooter & editor. A masterful collaborative work of natural wonder. Truly.
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thank you for watching! PS: Clay could be used in lieu of liner, but it's tricky (need the right kind and the right thickness) and more difficult to work with, of course.
amazing work.amazing garden. so much work. good parenting. well done!
Thank you for the nice words, and thanks for watching!
This is the way to live - cheerfully, positively, enjoying life, nature and native people.
Nice before and after contrast. Why the 5 layers of liner is anyone’s guess. There’s no figuring some people’s taste though. I wouldn’t be caught dead with fake swans in my pond. The customer gets what the customer wants I guess. LOL

Hello, so I have been in the construction business a LONG time, I have flipped so many homes it's crazy. However your supply list has me a smidge confused. You are using the tankless water heater to heat up the water going into the hot tub. But after the water is exposed to the air and usage, when the temperature drops what is being used to cycle heat the standing water or is it constantly draining and filling with hot water from the tank less? Very curious, love how this works, definitely going to steal your idea and make one for my family. I love it. Just not u persuading the above
Hi, yes, the water constantly runs from the hot tub via the skimmer into the tankless water heater and back into the hut tub. I did end up getting a auto temp controller (bayite Temperature Controller BTC201) that cuts the power to the thankless when watet in the hottub reaches a set temperature. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your project and I would love to hear how it turned out!
well done great job
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing us the complete job and thank you for not adding any annoying music! Outstanding job! Well done!

Hi Redscapes! Will you travel to Dallas Texas to rebuild our Koi pond ?
Thank you for the invite but unfortunately, that is a bit far 😁 I'm sure you'll find a local crew to help out! Thanks for watching!
Omg!!! What a huge pond transformation, thank you for improving those Koi fish environment 🎉
Thank you for watching!
That’s not a waterfall that’s a slip and slide I would have ripped it all out 😂 but you did an amazing job
Would have done the same, but unfortunately, it wasn't in the budget, and the client loved his blade waterfall too much 😊 Thanks for watching!
What about shoes ??? You are fired 🛎🇨🇦
Flip-flops FTW 😉
Love it. Cool type of business
How much you spend in total
Around 4k initially. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for an excellent educational video. I learned a lot. Carry On.
Glad to hear that! Thank you for watching!
I was wondering how you clean the filter?
Drop a sump pump in the pump vault and clean it our once a year. Thanks for watching!
Wow. Whoever built that pond sure did a half-assed job. I wonder if it was their first atempt?
Do you have contact information available?
Sure, you can contact us at redscapesbuilds@gmail.com
Beautiful! Can I ask why do you put the flowers in closed pots? Will they grow more if they are put that way?
The fish have a tendency to mess around with the plants, pull them, try to eat them, and so on. So they should be planted in pots in order to last. Also some (like water lilies) might be invasive and spread too much.Thanks for watching!
@@Red.Scapes thank you for replying. So should I use closed pots like you or open pots can also be used like baskets?
@va5307 as long as a pot is used, it could be of either kind even bottomless if you don't mind the root system spreading.
nice job guys, love the diy!
thank you for watching!
Looks like a leaking fireplace . Lol
What a huge difference! Very nice!
such an expert. looks great
Thank you for watching!
Is there any chance of fish got eaten by birds and predators
so, do you need to clean any filters or do leaves, and such just gather on rocks at end and you scoop them out?
Leaves gather in the new intake bay and you can easily scoop them out. Also no filters to clean, just drop a sump pump once a year in the pump vault and suck all the muck out. Thanks for watching!
Very nice job! Just curious- why did you build a false bottom for the intake Bay? What's the purpose of those crates underneath?
It helps if part of the water stays underground away from the sun. Helps regulate water temperature as well. It's the way intake bays are designed. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing!!! Job well done!!! Love it!!
Thank you!
Beautiful transformation. It makes you think though, the fish were spawning like crazy in the pea soup aftermath. Although it may have been the giant water change after the pea soup. Then gently swimming though the crystal clear water in the end. Certainly more appealing to the human eye. Excellent work, the owner should be very happy!
Yes, the owners loved the makeover! Thanks for watching!
amazing. such hard work. looks great. hope they add more greenery
Yes, that was the plan. Thanks for watching!
I live in the UK, we don't have the space like you guys have in the USA. I'd love to have a pond this size. Amazing work!
Turn your back yard into a pond. You won't regret it 😊 Thanks for watching!
I really liked all that you did, it shows the difference between those with experience and those with little to No experience. It’s nice to see you making what you need instead of buying a very expensive alternative to do the same thing
Yes, it always feels good to improvise and come up with out of the box solutions, that's for sure. Thank you for watching!
Can u tell me who supplied fastening tape etc, for liner,,, great work tho, cheers Terry,
We bought the liner seam tape on amazon. I will post links in the description. Thanks for watching!
😊 I wouldn't call that a pore mans job. That's a smart mans job. And the outcome was as good as any. Perfect.
"Poor man's pump vault" just because you don't want to sell a kidney to buy the Aquascape stuff 😉 but I def agree with you that doing it this way without spending a small fortune,, on a smaller scale, yields the same result and I was definitelly happy with the outcome. Thanks for watching!
Guineas world book of records for layers of liner in a stream. 😅
Haha, yeah, I really thought it was never going to end. Almost pinched myself to wake up ;) Thanks for watching!
That is realy good! Good job!!
Thank you for watching!
Szia! Érdekelne, hogy mennyi napig maradt ilyen a víz?
Question : since the rocks are directly under the sun, they will heat the water and algeas will grow back ?!! Has for the surrounding, the grass will grow until the edge of the pound and there is the risk of cutting the membrane while cutting the grass ?!
If you have good water circulation and an established ecosystem with enough water plants, then alge won't thrive. As far as the sides around the pond, as I said in the video, they were planning to build a walkway/patio and also plant some bushes and plants all the way around. Thanks for watching!
Ok! Thanks for your time. I have a project, small one, my first aventure with a pound. My challenge will also include weather (up to 35 ° c in summer and down to -25 ° Celsius in winter... ). Will search for your other videos.
@anniegueveneux8161 some shade always helps too, even if it's just water lilies inside the pond. Good luck with your project and I'm available if you have other questions.
Beautiful Buck
Huge improvement
Thank you!
have to say i know the pros aren't cheap but that pond at the start id say is what you get when you go cheap. That thing would make me hate even looking outside .What a terrible job that was!!
Agreed! It probably looked better at the start but then the landscape guys messed it up over time. Needed some love that's for sure. Thanks for watching!
So did you run a line from the intake to the bog plant side? Does it only run to the bog, or to the other streams? How many pumps do you have going? Need details! Lol😂
Yup, both bogs get fed from the intake bays. The zero edge intake bay feeds the forest side bog and the new big one by the bridge feeds the new hot tub side bog.. The deck waterfall also gets fed from the new intake bay. I have a total of 3 pumps running.
First I didn’t know hostas like wet feet! Good to know, and I dint know if that was creeping Jenny, ( I do love how creeping Jenny will grow well under the water as well) or thyme on the sides or maybe both but absolutely love both and it is gorgeous. I also love your more natural falls, not a giant fake behemoth but multiple falls. And how it appears to creep out from under the deck, how far does it go under? And how the bridge is over more shallow water so if any one “little” falls in it’s not so scary. Your plants etc are all gorgeous. Dream escape backyard! Only thing I would have done different and the only thing is the clean out pipe for the intake bay, was your 3”, I would have done at least a 6” or bigger ( they have nice elbow if needed, pipe and screw on top for the bigger ones…as it’s easier to wiggle down a water pond/pool vacuum down the pipe to get clogs, Or invasive roots! I guess you are expecting it at the wetland filter to need the clean out, so never mind. Maybe it won’t be a problem. Otherwise I love your pond everything and your way to save money! I refuse to play thousands of dollar for Aquascape snorkel, vault and crates when at Walmart those black crates are $7 or less.! ❤
Appreciate the kind words and glad you like the final product! We do enjoy our backyard a lot! As far as the clean outs, it's done in such a way that all you need to do is drop a sump pump once a year down the pump vault and suck out all the muck. The 6" corrugated pipe is pitched towards the pump vault so the muck has a tendency to settle at the bottom of the snorkel/pump vault. (never tried to use a vacuum, just the sump pump for cleaning) Thanks for watching!
You guys have a layer or some clay in that soil!
Yup, there's a thick clay layer under the top soil and then the sand layer under that. Thanks for watching!
I just love how you use the “poor man’s version of the same thing Aquascape uses which is so outrageously expensive. Very well done!
Yeah those Aquascape pond parts should be priced a lot lower tha'st for sure. Very frustrating to see those prices. I had to find a better solution 😉 Thank you for watching!
@@Red.Scapes well thank you, I did the pvc pipes, slits in the with a 6” snorkel for the clean out. My pond has limited space since a cement patio is built around it and I don’t have the yard. I have a pressurized filter, and pump/skimmer with both leading to the plant bog with the pvc, pvc snorkel and crates /rocks as the secondary pond cleaner. My pressurized filter has a uv light so I don’t have to worry about pea soup water. I use to have only the pressurized filters so added the bog in a 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. Someday when we move to more land I will have what you did, instead of the skimmer have an intake bay and plant bog within the pond. Love what you did! So agree in the Aquascape prices and love your alternatives diy! Great sons to help! We had 4 girls! 😀
I still buy the Aquascape stuff. With the price of labor it's actually cheaper to buy and not have to spend hours making this up on site .. just another way to look at it. Not hating
@@cessnadiego maybe but the snorkel for the pro snorkel and centipede is $600, so even if you go for smaller ones those crates they use to fill the space and keep the rocks above the centipede the smaller crates are $53 have you seen those larger ponds you can use 10-20 of them or more for larger ponds - those milk crates which are essentially the same thing are free to $7-20 depending on size. Walmart sells a smaller version if you don’t need large ones. The snorkel is essentially a pvc pipe. There is no way it’s worth it unless you have money to burn. You don’t do anything to the crates to fit unless one was too big, the pvc snorkel just needs a cap, and elbow with cap at the bottom so you can attach some smaller pvc pipes with some elbows and slits in them. Any other time I would agree but it was so easy and with a little glue and essentially some elbows with caps and a hack saw to make some slits it was incredibly easy and was so worth the time! Anyone can do it. Yes the crates don’t have tops but when flipped over and zip tied down they don’t move! Not hating either I absolutely would choose the aquascape products if money was no object but when I saw I could spend a fraction of the money for the same results it’s a no brainer for me! My husband would have balked at spending that much money for plastic that is easily replicated. Now if it was like “Prime” by seachem . Well then I would agree only the name brand, but not when it’s just because they have a captive audience and are the only ones making the product. So I see your point I just hate wasting money on something that absolutely doesn’t work any better! I could see if it took forever to make but it didn’t we did it in a couple of hours or even less!
