Hello and welcome, I’m Carl the landscape guy and today I’m building a natural looking garden stream for a customer and I will show you every step in detail. I am really looking forward to this project and I think that it is very possible to replicate it with the help of this video. Thank you to all my viewers for the many likes, comments and subscriptions lately, that helps a lot and enables me to produce new videos for you. Today we are in a fairly small yard and therefore I have planned a 3 meter long stream. The size of the stream can be easily changed depending on how much space you have for the construction. First I cut a square that’s about 70 by 70 centimeters and then remove the turf. Then I dig the square out to about 70 centimeters deep. I am reusing the soil to make a small hill for our stream, because we’ll need a slope for proper water flow. It is important to well-compact the soil layer by layer from the beginning by treading on it, so the stream won’t sag later. By the way, you can find my tools and equipment in the description section, so please use the links to order what you need. I'm creating a slight slope around the edges here now. I form the hill a little elongated, which will fit the stream better. Now the ground is getting sandier, but that's good because sand can be compacted better. Right away I remove things like garbage, stones or even broken glass like this here; because we do not want to risk damaging the pond liner later on. Now I add a few wheelbarrows of soil, which is available to me on this construction site. This makes our hill a bit larger, but it is not entirely necessary. Maybe you have some soil or sand lying around that you can use. Or you might already have a natural slope in the garden, where the stream can be built in nicely. You can see here that I have already decreased the slope going towards the hole. And I use this tamper to compact the soil one more time. Now you’ve probably already asked yourself, what goes into the hole. And I’m going to get that ready right now. It is a percolation cube or also called a aqua block, which needs to be assembled. But assembling it is very fast and easy with these little pins. One side will remain open for now and you’ll find out why a little later. The percolation cube should be installed level, so I use a spirit level to pull the soil flat. The cube size is 60 by 60 by 60 centimeters and the hole is about 70 centimeters deep, so that the cube will sit a little lower in the hole. This way the water will run in better and it is easier to cover with rocks later. Next I lay out a thick protective fabric, that weighs 300 grams per square meter. After that comes the pond liner. Both the fabric and the liner are 2 meters wide by 5 meters long. And it just fits with the 60 centimeter cube. I also wrapped the cube in fabric, so it can't damage the liner. Now we move on to the streambed. I form the lowest dam with the help of a garden curbstone.

I'm jealous of your dirt. That first square hole would take 10 hours here.
if your soil is dead (like rock hard clay, or sand) you should add organic materials like compost and mix it in. Water it often. you can buy and add earthworms when the soil is ready for aeration and to improve its fertility as well.
I was thinking the same thing! Where I live in NC, we have that red clay and there can be some rocks mixed in, too. It’s a pain in the butt, so I always try to water it down before digging. However, if my dirt were like that in the video, I’d never complain. 😂
@@vossejongk why would you want to improve the soil when you want to dig it out
My dirt is clay and rocks so it is such a pain to dig especially when your digging a koi pond
@@lumpkanella69 Same here, and on top of that the previous owners of my house decided to put rubble into the ground when they broke down a small garden house right where my pond sits 🤦🏻
I would love to have a water feature. I find listening to them is so relaxing
I love your videos! You have to be the most patient man on the planet! All that work you do by hand and by yourself... Rare quality these days!!!
Good too see great veterans in the industry still properly building projects the correct way!
Creating a stream with a pondless waterfall in your garden can be a rewarding DIY project, offering both aesthetic appeal and the soothing sounds of running water.
You are a Total Pro! Thank you for the measurements and for showing leveling, concrete, and fabric underlayment!
After watching dozens of these water feature videos, this is by far the most detailed. There are steps shown that are not even touched on in other videos. So smart to place more fabric on the liner and under the stones to prevent any damage to the liner. Thank you so very much for sharing such a helpful video!
Just watch aquascape videos....
Go watch Atlantis Water Gardens. He tells you that do step by step but they dont show you long ass clips of it. This water feature is a joke
@@chosen1one930 true
@@joerybicki1679 very mean with their information..as you are taking it aay from them👌
@@joerybicki1679 This is another option, many can't afford Aquascapes or their products.
it amazes me seeing the soil in other places. I live in Phoenix AZ and when you dig in my backyard its nothing but desert dirt and round rocks. then you get to a certain depth and its all clay. we don't have rich soil out here, its all dead, brown and dry.
interesting thanks 👍
I’m very selective to who I subscribe, you sir were the easiest choice:
Great craftsmanship
Calmed voice
Detailed work
Great creativity
Hard working
Hats off to you
Are you seriously thinking this looks good
That's amazing! I am just putting in a pond with a waterfall. I got some great ideals now Thank you!
It's like a giant stone puzzle. Great work! Looks amazing!
Such satisfaction when you start the pump. I'm putting a water feature into my own backyard this summer. Every single piece of this video was so so helpful. Thank you.
The process of this backyard transformation is beautiful to watch. I love your work.
thanks alot 🤗👋
Fantastic video. I can tell you are a gentleman and a genuinely nice person.
Thank you for this
i thought I came to watch a small water feature be built, but found myself entranced by the process and got distracted with the whole backyard renovation.
This was lovely.
Very nice job on the stream and especially the plantings. I like the idea of using the extra underliner on top of the liner to protect the top liner from the rocks...
that is some really nice work I like how you take pride & care in your work & do it right looks fenomimal
thank you appreciate the nice feedback
Beautiful! You made this look so effortless. What a dream garden.
A beautiful stream indeed and visually natural and artistic. Thank you for sharing :)
Such a precise job. You really know your stuff. It’s great to see the little details
Thank you very much!
Besides the sound of running water, wants you to use the toilet 😂 it’s so relaxing 👍
lol true
Thank you very much. Your video is a resource for me to learn how to build a stream in my backyard.
Everything looks beautiful but the hard work behind it is always respected...cheers !
Дякую Богу,що потрапила на ваш канал! Дуже цікавий контент,ще раз дякую за ідею. Обов'язково зроблю собі такий Райський куточок для душі .
Awesome. Loved how you broke everything down. Subscribed! Just bought my first house, and going to watch your videos to get some ideas for my horrible yard.
I enjoyed this so much; the project turned out so pretty. Thank you for the informative video.
I’ve wanted to build a stream like this for my dogs who love water and love to walk through water but not necessarily swim in it. That and it seems to be better lasting than the old school ponds that always fail
Absolutely I’m agree with you
I’m impressed. That turned out awesome. 👍
Great ideas! I am glad I watched this, as the techniques you used, I have never thought of!
thank you I'm glad if it helps
That’s a good idea, adding salt to the water. I always wondered what you would use to stop algae 👍👍
yes it works great just don't overdo it
@@CarlTheLandscapeGuy Is that table salt or Epson salts? I can't read the packaging.
You are an artist in your trade. Stunning.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 🙏🏽 for showing how it is done.
Amazing ! Love your garden with the nature sound of water fall !❤️
glad you like it, thanks
When nature takes over. It should start to soften the stones and looks more natural. By moss growing on the stones or the stones turning green. Also the plants starts to fill out 👍👍
Thanks for your ideas,now am able to make waterfall with stream
ok thank you
This is super..unlike those who want to make it look a heist to do this by your own.✔✔✔👌
King, may God bless the work of your hands. Im now doing one here in KENYA by the help of your tutorials👍👏👏👏👏
sounds good 👍 please send me a picture to info@carlthelandscapeguy.com
This is so so beautiful to watch come to life! I’m in love with this! Thankyou for all your hard work making this stream and the video too! Amazing ☺️
4 million dollars tho jeez
This is beautiful and so comprehensive. Thank you for sharing all of the detail. Excellent job!
عالی عالی .اولین باره که اینقد کامل همه قسمت ها رو نشون داده شد سپاس بهترین ها رو براتون آرزومندم وصمیمانه سپاسگزارم .
Excellent tutorial and step-by-step instructions. Ten thumbs up to you.
Ow that would be much better with pond
it's easy to add the stream to a pond but in this case the customer wanted no pond for safety reasons
OMG! Just love what you did with this outdoor space. Makes me want to do this or have it done.
Love and enjoy the video. Thank you.
Beautiful job!
thanks a lot
That's really lovely we have a stream but at the moment needs some attention
Looking at doing exactly what you’ve just shown. This is a massive help, subscribed and great video
thank you and good luck on your project
Thanks for the excellent video. I appreciate the detail and start to finish instructions. I look o viewing more of your projects.
thank you
Mind blowing project…… loved immensely
thank you that's nice, appreciate it
Very beautiful and a detailed video , Love it
I live in Missouri and seeing you dig that deep and still get dirt and no clay just blows my mind. Lol
very professional landscape thank you for sharing this video I like it
OI
I'm glad you like it thank you very much
Wow this looks amazing! What a beautiful job you’ve done here! Thank you for this super informative video ❤️
Hey you are a masterpiece. Thanks and I learned a lot
Very informative, Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great informative video, thank you for taking the time to make it.
That’s crazy! I found your channel a while ago looking at how to build a rock wall. Now this! It’s like Christmas came early 😂
😂😂 glad if it helps, take care!
Beautiful 😻 I must try this thanks for sharing this wonderful video with me
you are welcome
lovely just Lovely
This is such a wonderful video.
thank you I appreciate the nice feedback 😌
It's a really nice stream, I would like mines to be larger with a more natural water connection if I'm next to a natural stream or such. Also flows nicely with the pond.
very cool design. you are very creative! love it!!
Very informative .
Sir , thank you so much for sharing your knowledge .
Watching from Sri Lanka .
This is brilliant, you make it look so easy
Great work!! Great video and lots of info that’s perfectly laid out. I love that square red shovel too.
I love those dam steps. But you might have used too dam much foam. My wife asked me for one of these for her birthday, but I just couldn't build the dam thing! Thanks for all your dam wisdom. You have truly given a dam to all of us.
Love it... I think some larger stones down the edges would have really elevated it vs the many piles of small stones.. great work!! Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing that 🙏 listening from Ireland ☘❣
Hey, Carl......you're amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
*I'm making a stream using you plans. Thank you stunning work.*
thank you for your feedback and I hope your stream comes out nice
Ты Просто волшебник!!
I wish you could build my dream creek in my wild and untamed backyard. Fascinating video and very informative.
STUNNING
Love the detail, and will use the links provided. You may want to consider using plants native to the area.
good idea and thank you for watching
Great work and thanks for sharing
This is a great video.
You sir, are an artist.
Thanx 4 Good Idea, Cool Gardens!
This is a channel to be following. Good stuff here
That was a lot of work. Great job.

Thank you for sharing! ❤️ . I like all the details you put in this VDO.:-)
damn that’s some of the beat digging dirt i have ever seen
Masterful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks
EXCELLENT, BEAUTIFUL
How much detailing he has given to this artificial stream ... Amazing
I'm I the only one that watches his videos late at night before sleeping. It's super relaxing
I’m here at 11:20 PM! I hope the weather is good tomorrow so I can set my liner and rocks I already hauled everything near the area and dug the holes!
Love your work Wish you did work in Southern California.
I was mesmerized watching this! Wonderful job. Can someone tell me is it safe for dogs to drink from and how I can assure the water stays clean
thanks 👍
Mate legend,great work
merci !!! from Montréal , CANADA
Great work. Creative
that dirt looks amazing to work with. mines a little rougher
❤❤💯Eline koluna emeğine sağlık on numara oldu
Really enjoyed that!
nice job ! the sound of the stream is realy good and relaxing, a little bit to much rock maybe
yes but the plants will grow and it will look good 👍
Gorgeous
I wish someone had thought to lay weed fabric under my walk way, it’s huge, goes around the house, garage, and makes the drive way plus two patios, all weedy!
you are an artist
A VERY NICE (PROFESSIONAL JOB) thumbs up 👍🏻
Thank you
Thank you for sharing
