WOW.. I got the goose bumps when I saw Benjamin in the excavator!! I can only imagine his excitement. To hear the absolute joy in your voice Laura.. Thank you so much Laura and Aaron, for taking us along. Do you have any idea the impact you have on us, your people!! Thank you 💦☀️♥️
I second this comment wholeheartedly!♥️
@maruiacancer6 I have seen your comments, the same exact copy-and-pasted comments, on multiple different channels across CZcams. Is this some sort of scam to raise money for a fake cause, or do you actually have cancer?
That is actually my dream to drive 'em
Brian allowing Benjamin to be the ground breaker and you as parents trusting Brian with your son speaks volumes to the big hearted people you all are. It truly is a special moment. Brian is a gem.
Benjamin is having the time of his life. So fun
Well said!!!
I loved hearing how excited Brian and Laura were, talking about rocks! I see a rock, Brian sees a jigsaw puzzle without a picture to refer to! He sees a "destination" rock, I see a flat stone.....This shows me what creativity really means.....Perfect inspiration to start my day!
This is so amazing and fun to watch !!!! What a awesome addition to your property !!!
"Even that Cat loves these ******* rocks!" ... GA Throw back!
I’ve watched Greg and Brian on and off for a few years and they do absolutely amazing work and so fast! This is going to be stunning! Loved that Benjamin got to “dig” the first hole! It will be something he’ll never forget! Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos! This is such an exciting project and it’s going to be such an enhancement to your garden! You guys are so going to enjoy this area💕
It is a truly magical place for Laura, Aaron, Benjamin, and Samantha to enjoy with family and friends in the future💜
One thing I appreciate about Garden Answer is how well you guys do scale. Like it's in the forefront of your minds and I can already tell that the secret garden is going to be glorious invoking the five senses! Beautiful sight, sound of the waterfall, smelling the flowers and pines, touching the water and plants, and tasting garden fresh produce in the sitting area. Perfection. So happy for you guys!
A piece of paradise.
Good morning Laura! We’ve been anxiously awaiting this project video…thanks for always bringing us along!!!
I cannot express how excited I am to see this project!!! My husband and I started water gardening in 2005 with our first pond (it was in a water trough), in 2007 we dug a big hole in the ground, made some mistakes but were fortunate enough to purchase the Aquascape Biofalls before we ever visited Aqualand, Aquascape headquarters. We later went to Aqualand and had the pleasure of talking with Brian before he became famous 😀, we also saw Gregg there but didn’t realize he was the BIG MAN himself but I kinda wondered just from his demeanor if he was the boss! I really hope Laura and Aaron love water gardening as much as I do, I would love to learn more about which plants I can use❤️
amazing!
Your enthusiasm is contagious Laura!
My grandfather ran a shovel. He dug many of the basements and foundations here in, and around, Dayton Ohio. I recall riding on his shovel with him as a boy. As a teen, I was his grade boy for a summer, (the person that checks the depth of a dig to insure it is level.) When I drive past those places now, I remember him. You expand Benjamin's perspective on life everyday to see what others won't know to look for.
Love your memory........
I'll never forget one of my fav books from childhood, "Mike Mulligan and his Steamshovel." So neat.
@maruiacancer6Scammer and liar! Reported.
I have smiled through this whole video! As my 4 year old grandson would say to Benjamin “Dude, you are livin’ your best life!” He will definitely remember this experience the rest of his life.
The digging of this pond looks so perfect. It reminds me of an archaeological dig.
Enjoy your dinner, see ya tomorrow!
These men have created a work of art just in the holes they have dug out! I am amazed at their handiwork!! What a blessing for you to be able to watch this transformation. And Benjamin is having a blast I am sure!!!
I’ve been waiting for this for years
Same
Hahaha yeah me too!
Me too!
So happy that Benjamin got to be in the excavator for the first scoop ❣️ perhaps for the Recap video you could interview Benjamin about his experience and what he liked about it? 😊🙏🏼
When I was young, I didn't know which field of work I'd go into. I really respect and appreciate the exposure you give your children to craftspeople who do work on your property as well as what you both teach them. Well done. 🌟 ❤
Coffee time with Garden Answer! A great way to begin this day!
Yeah!!🎉 💦 Pond installation day is here!!🎉💦 Aaah ..so cute to see Benjamin working away with his buddy :)) Laura too❣
Wow! I can see why you trust Brian from Aquascape with designing your pond. He feels like he knows every aspect of it and has a clear idea of what you're looking for. Every construction project is an co-creation of the homeowner's desire & the skill set & understanding of the builder. Great stuff! Can't wait to see it finished! Quite the creative endeavor & Benjamin is living every boy's dream!
Your joy is overflowing. How wonderful to see you so happy. We all wish we could be at your table tonight sharing in the excitement of the day, and Monica's cooking.
How fun! I didn’t want this video to end! I can only imagine how excited you all are. Looking forward to more.
Aquascape guys are magical workers. Fast, thorough, amazing, artists. Totallyamazing
This AQUASCAPE pond is going to be EPIC !!!
HIGH FIVE to Brian and all of the AQUASCAPE specialist involved in this project !!!
AQUASCAPE!
Good morning Laura and Aaron! Wow! Brian allowing Benjamin to participate in the groundbreaking first shovel brought tears to my eyes. Hugs from N.C..❤️
My sentiments exactly
But Brian
@@cynthiafisher9907 of course!❤️
@@marinbandel2574 Just saying Greg wasn’t there, it was Brian.
Allowing Benjamin to get to experience the shovel put a smile on my face! What awesome people working for Aquaspace!!❤ This is so exciting! Will you guys be able to swim in it?
Is it big enough for a swim? Need a life ring close by as a safety precaution. Look forward to the planting, so exciting.
Laura said it’s only going to be 2 feet deep so no swimming.
This is amazing! How Greg drags his foot laying out the design…wow he’s an artist. I’m as excited for y’all about this pond as I was for the Hartley. What an incredible staycation y’all are building. 💦😎🎊
That was Brian 😂 He's an amazing artist!
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy thank you for the correction! Y’all are amazing!
I can’t believe how quickly this space has evolved. Remember last year when Laura was undecided about the boxwood circle and the broken fountain? What an upgrade this is. This space will get so much more use from the family and friends.
Also I love how Laura was like "We're flat like a pancake!" and now we see Brian's influence with berms all over the place. Love it! :D
Yeah, I always thought that was an odd way of looking at things, because "natural" (at least in that area) wouldn't have been flat. It was made flat by previous generations of people for their own purposes (i.e. farming). So making berms and contours isn't making it look more artificial but less.
@@Ibis333I live in the area and some of it is really flat naturally.
I’m so thrilled for your garden space. I’m living vicariously and can’t wait for tomorrow’s video!
So cute to see you and Benjamin’s enjoying the opportunity to play with the machine.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️!
That was lovely!
We put an Uncle Foggy at the top of our “river” pondless waterfall and he’s special. I had the same reaction as Laura when I found him at the garden center and he was spendy but he turned out to be a perfect choice. He’s now part of our family. 😂 This is so exciting to watch.
What a cool project! This project is next level and is going to elevate your beautiful home and landscape! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! So inspiring!
This video is even more exciting than I thought it would be! What an artistic creation the pond turns out to be! And Benjamin on the giant scoop was just too incredible!
EEEeeeek!! So exciting 😃 I even got a little teary when you were talking about how much care they are taking with the project and going out of their way to make it a special experience for everyone. Only people who love what they do can achieve that. Cannot wait to see this space when it's done and in future years.
The difference in Laura's attitude towards this project compared to other times people have came and dug her yard up is night and day and it is 100% because he continually let her know what he was doing and why and they got it done they didn't leave her place torn up for however long. They've come in and got things taken care of and the pure happiness on Laura's face just tickles me!
Professionalism at its finest! Things like this are why people remember people in positive ways and i can guarantee you if i ever want a pond i will remember this video!
Oh my goodness. What a special treat for Benjamin to get to operate the big dirt mover
. Every boy’s dream, then Laura gets on and runs it like a champ!! You rock!
Oh, Laura, this is going to be gorgeous! I really enjoyed seeing how they let Benjamin work the controls in the excavator. He must be over the moon excited. He’s having a lot of fun walking up and down the levels inside. I’m sure he’s going to bed at night thinking about the great adventure he’s having everyday during this process. What a wonderful experience for him. I’m so looking forward to the finish. It’s going to be a WOW! 😊💖🦋🕊
Loved all 24 mins and 55 seconds of this video - so excited for your family! What an amazing crew. And dear Benjamin , so sweet to see how involved he is. i can not wait for next installment 😍😍😍😍
Everything looks so natural and beautiful around the pond except that basketball hoop. I don't doubt that you've already got a plan to screen that out with some of those beautiful trees and shrubs! 🌳 😀
Laura definitely has a plan!
...the basketball goal, and the lights... worry about the atmosphere in the evenings. I feel sure Laura and Aaron have taken these into their plans...Wait to see!!
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy hey 👋 Greg, it's great to see you guys doing this project for Laura and Aaron! We've been admiring your work for many years! 😀
How exciting for your family, this pond will be beautiful. I can see many a night sitting out there watching the sun go down and listening to the waterfalls! So nice of the men to have Benjamin run the excavator for the first dig - he’ll remember that forever. So excited to see this “adventure” finalized!! Another beautiful addition to your garden!!
You're in such good hands with Brian and Team Aquascape! I'm so happy for you and your family, Laura! What an amazing transformation it will be! I'm hoping you get some beautiful koi! Mine make all the difference in my Aquascape pond! The kids are going to spend SO MUCH TIME there with all the beautiful butterflies and dragonflies!! So FUN!!! ❤❤❤❤
That is so awesome Benjamin and mom helping with the pond and shoveling the dirt!!
It looks awesome! I can't wait to see the area after the installation.
Suggestion for the seating area- natural/carved wooden benches so it looks like part of the landscape. That would really accentuate the secret garden vibe. 😊
I think Brian's back of his T-shirt says it all "I love my ART" that is exactly what this is....a work of art! How exciting! ❤
Yes!
This is so awesome! You won't regret getting an Aquascape pond. You will find you have been bitten by the water bug. You will find you spend more time by your pond than anywhere else in your yard and also, You will find that your stress levels are going to become lower. Water brings so much peace to your soul...Greg and the whole Aquascape crew are some of the most amazing talented artist I have had the pleasure to watch create some of the most life changing water features over the past couple of years....God bless y'all and I can't wait to see this incredible addition and adventure you have embarked on. Your one pond will grow....trust me.
Since you have experience with this type of project, what would you say a water feature about 1/4 this size might cost? I’m interested, but not in something this huge.
Oh, I'm so excited for you. I can not wait to see how beautiful it's going to be. I love how Benjamin always wants to help with all your projects. He is such an awesome little guy.
How exciting! I can’t imagine how you must feel!
Benjamin is going to remember this his whole life. And he has video to remind him.
I didn’t want the video to end! I can’t wait for tomorrow!
So exciting to watch and hear the enthusiasm in your demeanor!! You and Aaron are such a blessing to all of us!! So enjoy watching you guys vision come to life with this pond. Thank you for sharing what alot of us can only see in our dreams. I am so grateful for you guys!! So blessed to have found your channel when I retired in 2018. I take my meds, fix a cup of coffee and watch you two each morning!! Thank you Thank you!! ❤❤❤
This is so exciting! 😀 I can’t wait to see the secret garden with the seating area and the pond!
WOW so exciting. You can tell you are just over the top. I remember how much care this company took in design, explaining, instillation of the last pond. Plus your grins say it all! They are letting the whole family be part of this which is wonderful. Thank you for taking us along.!
ation of
We’ve all been waiting for this day-I can’t imagine how excited you are to see this happening. That was a thrill of a lifetime for Benjamin also.
I am really loving all these rocks and lights for the pond , not to mention the plants going in the pond! This is exactly what this property needed! The final result will be spectacular. The overhead view from Aaron the Drone Master will be awesome...thanks for sharing your life with so many of us , it is always appreciated!
We just had our landscaping big project started yesterday, and they dug out for my new pond. It's tiny compared to yours, but im so excited to be able to have a pond of my own for once. It's been a dream since I was young.
Do you mind me asking how much a smaller pond would cost? I’m interested, but have no idea what the investment might be.
You are just shining, you are so excited and happy! Look at what all your hard work has rewarded you with. I am so happy for you and your family. You deserve this! Can’t wait to see you work your magic around the pond. Looking forward to the next video!
Me too!
Wow, how amazing is this. I love watching people work and create at their expertise. How wonderful this is going to be once Laura and Aaron have all their trees and plants in. So fun to watch this come together.
I could sit and watch this project evolve all day. The talent and vision Brian has is amazing. Excited to see the finished pond. Thanks for bringing us along.
Can’t express how wonderful this is. I bet you can barely sleep at night. I know Benjamin is having some great dreams. What amazing guys to include him in the process. This is going to be a true work of art.
This is so impressive! Everything you do is top notch. Thank you for bringing us along in such a timely manner!
Everytime I see Greg on a project with kids around, he's always great at getting them involved. What a great experience for Benjamin. 🥰
🎉Y-E-A-H!! So excited for you guys! How special that Benjamin gets to help! Hopefully Samantha Grace can help place a plant or some other safe task😊
Thanks for sharing the process!
What a dream team of experts! Wow! This is epic! I can not wait to see how it looks with the waterfall and of course, the planting around the pond.
Thanks!
This is so nice and something we’ve been waiting for. I can honestly see the excitement on Laura’s face. :)
Honestly Laura I think I’m excited just because I can see how excited you are on this project! What fun!
Greg gives such a boost to everyone around him and he radiates such enthusiasm and energy he’d be a pleasure to work with. Serious pond envy here!😂
Eeek!!! I think WE (your GA squad 😘) are as excited about this day as you are, Aaron and Laura!! This is gonna be gooood!!!🎉🎉🎉
Aaron, thank you, thank you, thank you for the drone footage. It was so much easier to see the positioning of the pond from above. Oh it is going to be so beautiful! ❤️💫
WOOWHOO! YES! SO excited for this feature! So happy for you guys! 🐸🐊🐢🐍🐠
I am so thrilled for you and Aaron in getting this pond done! It looks like it will be amazing. I have a small pond (12 × 16) in my yard as I live in the city and own a small yard, but it has brought me so much joy over the years. I can't even imagine how fantastic yours will be when done! Great job by everybody! Looking forward to seeing more tomorrow!
The Hartley and the pond are the crowning jewels of your property. Can't wait to see it finished. I'm glad you made the pond the size it is, bigger is always better with ponds.
Watching this video brought me to tears so I can only imagine how you Laura and Aaron feel watching this pond become a reality! I’m sure it’s a dream come true and it will be a fantastic experience for all of us who religiously watch these videos and feel like you guys are family!!! Enjoy the process as much as we will !
Wow!!!!! I’m so excited to see this project evolve!!! Huge pond and landscaping!!!! ❤ps… I had to watch this twice!!!!
A meeting of the minds!! Always a pleasure to watch people who ENJOY their work. All of you are such inspirations to us. Thank you for sharing!!
I love how real the people are and how they included Benjamin and Laura in the digging.I really appreciate that you let the artist make the plans and decisions. Letting go can be difficult, but deferring to expert creative people will make this spectacular. I like how Brian said the same to you about the surrounding landscape - defer to the expert.
I am beyond excited to watch the process of this pond!! You can really tell the passion Brian has for what he does. Can't wait to see the finished project
I bet this installation was so entertaining to the kids. Benjamin looked like he was having the best time being in the digger. And I love the idea of a secret garden. This is so exciting!
This is so exciting, I can already see how gorgeous this will be. Loved seeing Benjamin dig out that first scoop of dirt, what a thrill for a little boy.
Greg really came up with a beautiful concept and it will look like it was always there just like your little pondless waterfall did. Can't wait to see the rocks and plants go in, tree planting is always my favorite part of your videos. You and Aaron picked out such a great selection of trees, I think this will actually become your favorite spot on your property. You two have a talent for making it all look natural and this just adds to the overall look of your property.
This is sooo exciting!! Can’t wait to see how it evolves.
Laura was smiling
ear to ear
throughout the entire video.
I can't wait until tomorrow.
I'm so excited for them.
You know when people talk breathlessly about their subject, it is something they are passionate about. It's like Brian can't get his words out fast enough to describe his ideas. I love it. So excited to watch the progress. I was thinking how lucky the kids who play on that basketball court will be to have the sounds of water in the background as they hoop it up.
Amen 👊 🙏
Wow, when I first started watching Laura she was showing us how to fill a clay pot with flowers for the front porch !! She's come a long way!! Congratulations!!
Moving,Grooving and Breaking Ground! Man guys what great childhood memories you two are providing little Benjamin and sweet Samantha Grace with- real hands on experience’s! it’s a beautiful thing to witness Thanks for being such cool people God bless you guys
Awesome to see the passion everyone has for the vision of the pond. It's going to look so cool!
Awesome. Love how Brian is so creative and paints the picture of the project so clearly. How lovely to let Benjamin take the first scoop or dirt. But in the background what a supportive Mom and Sister you have 👏👏 l am sure you wil have a wonderful fun filled meal together 🍷🍸🍷🍸 what an amazing day.
He's a master 🎨 and loves the kids!
This looks fantastic already! It is so exciting to see the project from the very beginning. Benjamin must have had a great time in the excavator. So happy for you!
I absolutely love this! Extremely happy for you and your family!!!
I so enjoy watching experts in their field talk about their passion for their work. That’s why I have watched Garden Answer DAILY for years now! I love the passion and expertise here…from Laura and Aaron to the editing to the Garden Center…all of it. Thank you for what you do!! ❤
I’ve been like a kid at Christmas waiting for these videos! It’s so amazing to watch that creative process. Artistry meets hard hats…it’s going to be a beautiful addition to your wonderful garden.
What a pure blessing Brian and his crew are to you! So very pleased that Benjamin got to “help” him dig the pond! So fun!! Can’t wait to see the finished project!
This is going to be indescribably beautiful! Such a wonderful team of hard working professionals who love their work! When you have a passion it shows. I'm so excited to see the final results. Laura you are so blessed in your life. BTW my son had such a fascination with heavy equipment at Ben's age. He was treated just like Brian treated Ben. He ended up becoming an operator for the military in Afghanistan and Iraq. Little boys never shake off those wonderful moments when a good man shows them kindness.
I love how even after seeing hundreds of water features in person by Aquascape and Mark The Pond Guy, the excitement never gets old. What an amazing design and unique looking water feature!
I can’t wait to see it finished - which also when working with the pros is pretty quick!
I love your ideas for planting!
Can’t wait!
Your children are so lucky to have such a big space to run and play. Your property is always a work in progress. How amazing is this. Love that you share this with us ❤❤❤
I'm so excited to see this pond go in. I don't want to miss a thing.I just want you to keep filming everything all day. My excitement is right up there with Benjamin's.. I want to help!
Thanks for taking us along on part of the journey of your lives.
Thanks for watching
This is so fun seeing the whole process! The design is beautiful, and I just love that Benjamin was allowed to break ground on the new pond!
Thank you for taking us along for the journey. So excited for you! ❤
Gracious, this pond is going to be gorgeous with the little secret garden and all the berms and different depths! The different plants will be beautiful as well. And of course, the koi fish will set it all off! I’m so happy for you. Thank you for the video. I can’t wait to follow along!
Brian and Laura are so enthusiastic it is contagious!!! This is just the coolest!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
It is very interesting to watch how exciting it is for you an Bryan talking about this project. With how precise they are excavating and giving shape to the soil they remind me of an archeological digging 😊 Bryan’s vision of the secret garden is unreal! You can just feel and see the excitement in his voice when his brain thinks of something amazing, we can hear you gasp with so much anticipation. The kids are going to have a blast and learn so many different things about nature. I can’t wait to see it all when it comes into completion next week 😊
Very excited for you Laura, Aaron, and Garden Answer! I wanted to see what Monika cooked up.
Me too!
Yum!
This is going to be such a great addition to your beautiful property. Love it and look forward to your part with the plantings. Love Benjamin on the "digger" so cute.❤
This is so exciting!! Can’t wait to see this come together! A secret water garden! Wow!
How exciting for all that are involved! It was wonderful seeing Benjamin operate the excavator with moving the first bucket of dirt. I follow Greg’s channel and love seeing everyone collaborating in building this pond. 😊Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks for watching
Oh my goodness! This pond area is awesome and will be the place to spend hours of peaceful reflection. 💕
YAYAYAYAY! How exciting for you and your extended family. What a great team of professionals has been assembled to be engaged in such a creative and beautiful endeavor!
So exciting! Loved seeing Benjamin getting involved too.❤ This pond project makes your last pond/water feature look like a kiddie pool! Cannot wait to see it come together and how you landscape it with all the trees and plants you’ve been accumulating!
I can feel your excitement it is so much fun to watch the masters of their craft at work including you Laura.
I can actually feel your excitement through the screen. I've been a fan of the Aquascape/Pond Guy channel for years. This is such an amazing colaboration.
