I rather have this over a pool. Never have I imagined a huge pond/mini beach (with fish in it) to be in someone’s backyard. This is a dream come true and it is brilliant to have this type of idea. This creation got me so
Excited
Wow. Can't believe how perfect this pond looks.
Perhaps a few more plants on the shelves.
Brilliant.
Love the native plants with boulders! The underwater shelfing is beautiful. Great job and great customer.
I’m sure this will be a long lasting childhood memory for these children…amazing water feature 🎉🙋♀️💖🇨🇱
love the idea of a pond you can swim in instead of a regular pool ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been loving watching all the Australian ponds. As an Aussie, it’s great to see the aquascape system in my own country as proof it really works and looks great.
Wow he hit an absolute homerun with this build
Absolutely stunning water feature, so naturalistic! Thank you for everything you do for Brian B. and Kenan. ❤
That is without doubt One of the coolest Recreational Ponds ever.
I completely agree with you, Greg. That is better than a basic swimming pool.
Out of appreciation to you for taking the time to produce this content to share yet another incredible Pond, I have just given this video the 51st like to say thankyou very much for sharing. 👍🏼🙂👍🏼❤️
What a great rec pond for the family.
Fantastic pond. But a want to see how its build and not to see how kids jumped in
Wow - that’s an awesome backyard
No wonder I'm not too fond of pools. give me a CERTIFIED AQUASCAPE CONTRACTOR any day over a pool.
🙌🙌🙌 find one here >> www.aquascapeinc.com/find-aquascape-certified-contractors
Beautiful! 🌺💚🙃
Wow i wish i had a swimpond like this
Paradise!
This is incredible! I'm encouraging my son into the Aquascape line of work....in the hopes he uses my yard as a testing ground of his aquascape skillz....lol I wish I had the money for the aquascape lifestyle! Absolutely amazing!
Stunning! Very Impressive and beautiful thoughtful workmanship.
Unbelievable build. This man is a master.
I sure enjoy watching all videos of pond building. If I was a little younger I would have my present koi pond enlarged. I love ponds and fish
This is beautiful ❤
Fantastic job! Watching from Florida. We would definitely have to check for alligators every single time before we went in. 🐊😬
I’m outside of Tampa I was thinking the same thing 😂 I’d love to know how much this would cost in Florida..
This really is perfection❣❣
This is the best and my favourite pond I have seen so far.
I wish to have one
Beats the ass of a swimming pool!!
Amazing!
THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!This is what Laura and Aaron's pond from Garden Answer should turn into someday in the near future 🏊🙏❤️😇🤞
Their pond is going to look AWESOME!!❤
What a cool pond...love it! God bless 😊
Perfect family pond❤
Just lovely!
This is an Idyllic water feature. Chemical free is better for everyone. A great place for the children to spend their time. The water is so clear. ❤
That's our mission here at Aquascape! ❤
Brilliant pond
Greg, you're amazing man! Love how you do your best for both the children and the aquatic animals to be all happy! YES💛☀️💫YES💛☀️💫YES💛☀️💫
I ❤ MY JOB!
Beautiful made 👍🌺👍🌺👍🌺
So nice.... looks like so fun to have in your backyard
Does it get many snakes?
I do LOVE this!
awesome!
Omg. Come to NJ. Please I have a yard that needs you. Not sure my pockets can afford you tho lol! (It's a compliment!!) absolutely gorgeous
Love it
Dream pool.
Love it! :)
You and your crew do an amazing job
Georgia, USA, here! 🙋🏻♀️ Subscribed from Laura Garden Answer’s channel! 🙌
I could only hope and pray to be able to afford this natural beauty in my 2-acre backyard 🥹🙏🏼
Hi, I'm from Georgia too and a GA fan 👍
You've actually got plenty of room to do a lot of great work back there! :)
Thank you so much for coming over! Hope you enjoy seeing how we live the Aquascape Lifestyle 👍
SC here. Wondering if we would get snakes in those grasses. Thats my only concern .
@@MrLoudog7 Snakes are everywhere
beautifully designed and implemented - the fact that the slop continues after the pond and you are at an elevated spot, with a panorama makes this quite unique. lovely family.
Uau so nice!! 👌
I loved my little pond and the natural habitat I had going on about 10 years ago. Also miss my fish aquarium hobby. but in July when I was sitting in the 100° heat I'd be jealous of my neighbors who were cooling off in their above ground swimming pool. I didn't really know you could have both until about 6 months ago. I have seen people connect a chemical area with a natural area and make it look like they are the same pond. I have a new spot on the side of a small mountain that would be perfect for a natural pond/pool. Plenty of big rocks already on the property and gravity for the waterfalls. Besides some tough digging and long term excavation rentals it'll be a fun rewarding time. I do wonder about snakes, snakes don't bother me at all here in central illinois, i love seeing them in my yard but in the Ozarks where I'm moving cottonmouths are common. Don't want to be worrying about a midnight swim followed by an emergency drive to a hospital 40 miles away.
Need this in Texas
very cool..
paradise for kids 👍
May I ask how many budget should I expect to build something similar?(also in NSW) Sydney to be Specific
❤ my country.😅
So why do they welcome you to it every day?
I want this!!! 😂❤❤❤AMAZING
You can! >> www.aquascapeinc.com/find-aquascape-certified-contractors
Beautifull❤
Is there a natural water intake? If not, how does the recirculated water stay clean?
Do u add anything to the water to get rid of bugs or mites rash causing mites or worms?
Amazing water features. How much more expensive does this pond compare to pool?
A thing of beauty
Awesome! How big is it?
Perfect....
Do we have to fill it with water occasionally to keep up with evaporation?
WOW!!!
Fantastic. Roughly what’s the cost for this? -coming from Tampa fl. Thank you!
How do you winterize the pond?
How much more would this be over a similar size regular inground pool
from where is the water coming ? and where is the water draining out ?
Is there any issues with mosquitos breeding in the pond?
Hey Greg. Can you make a video about what to do when it gets hot outside. I live in Central Texas and it has been 105 for months and want to know what to do with Koi and algae.
You need to add depth (I know "too late for that!") but once you get 15 feet down the thermal mass of the Earth really cold the water efficiently. Barring that, you could try to retrofit misters in the pond. This will increase water evaporation so you'll need to watch your water levels, but it should cool the water several degrees. The only other affordable option is to add shade.
I feel you, summer is unbearable in this heat.
"cools the water
@@GregJoshuaW Thanks for the advice. Its only about 5 feet now with a liner so that would almost be a complete redo. We have two chests with ice (80 pounds a day) just slow draining it into the pond now, but the temp will not get down past 85 during the day. We even put dye in the pond because I heard that works. Looks like I will have a big project before next summer!! I'll ad some more shade today. thanks again.
You could experiment with an idea. If you have access to land nwar your pond (and the ability to dig deep) you could make a thermal radiator. The idea is you bury water line deep in the earth and run it similar to a radiator. Some use a concentric circle layout, others do the typical up / down run. The point is to create enough surface area with the warm water running through the pipe contacting the earth near it for the Earth to absorb the heat from the pipe radiator configuration, the pump just needs to push water through it from the pond back into your falls or stream which then flows back into your pond. The deeper you go, the cooler the Earth gets. IDK, you can't redo the whole pond but this idea might save you all that ice work. I hope it works out for you, hot areas are very challenging. If it does, please report back how effective it is!
I wonder whats the cost of a pond that size. Is it worth it to build something similar in colder climate? Like central europe?
Central Europe? You mean Austria rather than Australia? Here's a native Austrian who built himself a lovely swimming pond at home at very low cost.
😍
Here means where? Central Europe like Poland :>
is it the same water getting recycled?
Are any of these solar powered? I'm curious what the electricity bill is to keep one of these going 24/7.
We don't use any solar powered products, all of our products that we manufacture are energy efficient.
How much did this cost?
That's only 18 months old!? Incredible!
Do the dogs ever try to fish?
How do you keep the snakes and toads out?
😅 Thankfully we don't have that problem in the US.
No snakes in the Us@@GregWittstockThePondGuy
Wish all pools where like this. Trouble is they cost 10x more.
2:48 what's with the black dog? is he has a tumor or something?
I'm building a pond in thailamd similar size. Would really like to speak with this company please. What is their contact details. Have so many questions. Many thanks
do ponds like this not attract snakes? water snakes?
Beautiful. Chick ching
Greg, do you ever discuss the economics of building a pond business? Are these certified designers able to pull $200k+ a year? I'd love to leave my corporate job but with inflation running rampant it seems I'm stuck in the rat race...
Jump!

Haha! My man, thank you for the link!
Can you make me one
Every single day? Even when it's 8c? Okay, so I'm a smartass. 😔
Whatever...it's an incredible pond!
How do you keep frogs, snakes and other animals away from it?

AUSTRALAIA NO SNAKES?
that would creep me out swimming in there with all the little fishes touching my legs
You know like right now you’re being touched by like a trillion different germs living on you??? I’m enjoying Covid right now I call this one the snots it’s everywhere in town
a "proper" pond is whatever you decide you like...not what some goof online tells you to like
Good luck with all the bacteria and shit growing in there.
snakes and maintenance……uggh
I wouldnt have him around my daughters... He seemed too interested for me
poor fishes , all the day with people diving and make noises , beautifull pool anyway
awesome
WOW…….😮
