This project completed by the BEST IN THE BUSINESS! 💯 The dam will stand the test of time, and look beautiful when the grass comes in! 👍 A jaw dropping transformation, Chris. 👏 You are THE POND KING! 🤴
You are an absolutely awesome guy Chris! You were very sick and still showing up to work at 0700 each day and then after a long day, going home and editing and posting a video for us. I surely do appreciate that so thank you sir!
So great to see everything done right and I overly enjoyed watching this whole project. Dam packed in with good clay, nicely leveled and sloped, super duty overflow box, top soil dressed, A proud Barney being part of the fleet.... Man you deliver a good finished product!!!
I stumbled upon the first video of this project from a month ago…WOW! what an amazing transformation, Chris! You REALLY converted a turd into a gorgeous gem of a pond system! Pat yerself on the back for all us fans! 👍👍👊👊💥💥💥💥
Mr Chris you sir are handier then a shirt with 2 pockets. Looks amazing great job on the project in it entirety. Hope you are able to rest an recover. Thank you for allowing us all to follow along with the process.
Awesome Job. Chris fought through flu, rain and fixing a mess from prior construction. I always look forward to seeing the before and after. The transformation is always a great calling card.
Absolutely beautiful work, quality craftsmanship. That's what built this great nation. They must be ecstatic with the results. I can't wait to see it full and the damn covered in grass.
You are so smooth with that heavy equipment. It's like an extension, a magnification of yourself. Awesome. Your comments on how and why add a lot to the clips.
Beautiful! (Please chicken wire that cement hole..? baby duckies ! Wildlife rehabber here- I can't tell you how many baby animals especially ducks I've retrieved from sewer grates ugh.) Moms walk over babies fall in) Thanks so much for helping water fowl have a great pond to land in , awesome!!!
Absolutely incredible transformation!! The KING of mud & dirt has spoken!! You did a spectacular job!! The last 10 minutes of this video would be an awesome advertising video to send out to prospective customers! You can't argue with perfection! On to the next one. Take Care, Jim
Just as I predicted, this has become my favorite LD18 video. I know these videos don't show the amount of time and effort that goes into these jobs, but I can say without any reservation... this job turned out to be nothing short of spectacular! I'd 'almost' give my left testicle to have you transform my little 3 1/2 acre pond into one of your masterpieces. The levee repair I had done last year leaves a lot to be desired...
it's amazing what you can do with a neglected pond Chris. love to watch a man at work who knows what he's doing. Great job, Great channel. love to watch your amazing skills with your equipment.
Chris, first off well done! In my opinion, this is the best job you have filmed to date! These large pond projects really give you a chance to show off your talents. Having the raw materials on site was a big plus for sure. It takes skill, imagination, and the right equipment to do the job you did on this pond. Kudos for working thru your sickness as you did. Most would have been M.I.A. I look forward to the next " Mini-Series" of Large pond transformation 101. 50 or 100 acres pond redo or build would be a subscriber magnet!
Awesome transformation. Lots of dirt moved and a lot of team work to accomplish this operation. Really enjoyed this project. Hope you are feeling better.
This has been an awesome pond series, been excited to see a new video upload notification when I come home from work. Such a great job and so sad to see series ending. Keep more pond video's coming! Please give us and updated video when pond fills up. Thanks!
Wow - I must admit, this was of my favorites. Knocked this one "out of the park"! I can't say enough about your work ethic and whatever you are doing, you do it right. Yep - I think this was one of the greats! Thanks Chris!
Awesome project Chris, it must be really satisfying for you to be able to pull a job this significant utilizing all your own plant and equipment, apart from the roller. You've come a long way in the 6 or 7 years I have been tagging along. A great achievement mate well done.
Such a wonderful conclusion to this project. I feel slightly sad that it's over if I'm honest?! The project / location became more familiar with each video, and it felt like I was turning up for work there, each day. A fantastic job! And as other have said, a definite revisit is needed on this one.
I feel the same way....a little sad that it's over but can't wait to see it full with grass on it...ready to get to the next job....just let me know time to clock in...
Excellent renewal, will stand the test of time. Your planning and progressive steps are very skillfully thought out and conceived. Would like to see this after summer with all the grass grown and any follow up to the dam road surface. Great job!
Wow! Amazing job from start to finish. You never cease to amaze me and my wife with your vision and forethought of how you plan on transforming something overgrown, run down into a beautiful masterpiece. But this is one job that I think (and everyone else by reading all the comments) that you should go back and let us see what it looks like once the pond is full and all the grass come up!! 👍
Well Chris a total transformation on the pond down from beginning to finish this looks amazing never thought that something would be and turn out as beautiful as you turned it out it looks amazing I have enjoyed watching every video thank you for sharing them
What a difference! You have really improved that piece of property ten fold. I’m like the rest of the viewers hope you can find the time to take some drone shots after the pond fills and the grass comes up. I have watched and seen a lot of damns put in but, never anything like you. Great videos and thanks for sharing all of them with us!
The pond area looks great. What a great change for the better. I also have watched it from the start. I know you have a lot to do but if you get back by here someday when the pond is full and the grass is growing, would love to see a picture of that. Thanks for filming this.
My favorite project since I started watching. Please return once it full, I gotta see it full and maybe again after the grass has grown in, cause it’s gonna be beautiful. Really nice job, you have an eye…like artist and photographers.
It is really amazing how you have turned that neglected pond into one that any of us would love to have on our property. Thank you for bring us along on your work days. We love watching your videos because it is a joy for my wife and I to be able to watch a craftsman that you are in turning all of the neglected pond into things of beauty. Keep up your great work and like you said on Dirt perfect pod cast you will never have to advertise for work. Thank You for all that you show us .
That really was a job well done. Thanks for documenting it. Glad you are feeling better too! Please go back and show us the overflow in action once the pond refills!
Chris, this was an awesome transformation. It was a hot mess to start, the dam was downright dangerous, huge holes on the backside, a hodge podge of overflow pipes that didn’t work so good, swampy mess at the top end with fallen dead trees etc. Now look at it, I can imagine it filled with water, grass grown around the edge making it a fish, frog & bird paradise🐟🐸🦆🐦 The owner missed the opportunity to install a dock with the water drained, still can be done though. Loved this series, you are “The Pond Master” mate. Hope you feel better. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰
Another project to be proud of, a huge transformation to that dam. I looked forward to every video. The drone footage certainly shows the scale of the pond and how much you achieved.
Nice to have the right equipment to get the job done. That haul truck paid for its self with the time it saved moving dirt. Another beautiful place. Looking forward to seeing in a later update.
WOW! This looks great! At the beginning I thought this is going to take forever. But you got it done even being sick. Congratulations on a job well done! 👏
That’s the biggest project I’ve seen you do up to this point. Been watching your work for about 5 months to date. Turned out to be the nicest job I’ve seen you do.
I still think the veterinary clinic was the hardest job. They removed the top soil and found out the whole site was solid rock and needed to be blasted and removed.
@@GKsGS400 That was a doozy. Then the crew came in to hammer the rock and missed a bunch and had to come back like 3 different times because Chris just kept finding rock. That had to have taken a mental toll on Chris as well. By far the toughest job I've seen on this channel, not only for Chris, but also for the equipment.
@@GKsGS400 The first video I watched was the one where he went and recovered a rental excavator that was buried up to the cab door and he used matting allowing him to get out to it. I said to myself ( this guy has it together ) been watching his videos ever since.
@@keithashline505 There's also one where he goes to his buddy's property and drives a mini out of the mud when his friend couldn't get it out. Was cool seeing how he broke the suction on it and pulled it out under it's own power.
Must be my favourite project so far. :) Looks absolutely great. I can almost imagine it all greened in where it should be. ;) Hope you go back for those shots of it too later. Thanks for the whole series and all the new camera angles along the way Chris. Top stuff. :) You sound a lot better now too. ;)
Your nick name should be "Picasso" - what an amazing outcome Chris!! Thanks for letting us ride along with you on this journey. It was fun to watch you use so many different pieces of equipment on this job. Maybe you can stop by later this year after the pond fills for one more drone video.
You sure sound A LOTT BETTER, I'm glad. Now, as ALWAYS very nicely done. I REALLY HOPE to see a follow up video showing you guy's awesome work with a full pond. 🙏👍👊
Looks great. Putting the stones by the trash rack was a great idea that I never would have thought of. It will be way better to have a more solid surface when you need to pick sticks off. I wasn't sure how the borrow pit was going to look after taking all that material out, but it looks great too. Really enjoyed watching this one from start to finish!!
I have been following the project from the beginning. Would you consider giving us a tour later after the pond is full and grass growing. Keep up the great work.
this has been the best transformation yet. I am very impressed with your ability to forsee the end result and use all of whats available. This is not just being a great operator it is also art.
What a great project with outstanding results, it’s been my favourite to watch it to completion You are a master of making good decisions with quality workmanship
WOW!! Great transformation Chris👍🏼🤘🏻 The work you put in to the pond as well as capturing the series on video is absolutely stellar 👌🏼 Way to tough out the cold and “gitter done”!! More of our younger generation can learn from your work ethics!! Top notch Sir! Thank you!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Going to look like a whole Nother pond now that it done and the water fills back up and the dam look amazing cause that was a lot of work and the haul truck worked out great and looked good doing it so all and all great job to you and the small crew that help you and anther one on the done list 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Chris!! Hope you take us back when it fills up. Really enjoyed watching the work on this pond.
Agreed. Hope to see the new overflow in action.
Agree. Would luv to see this year when all the grass has taken hold etc.. Great vid series.
Yes, please.
Agreed. MUST see this when full!
We are all waiting
This project completed by the BEST IN THE BUSINESS! 💯
The dam will stand the test of time, and look beautiful when the grass comes in! 👍
A jaw dropping transformation, Chris. 👏
You are THE POND KING! 🤴
Think that’s the best one you have done so far Chris, Had a bit of everything in this project really enjoyable to watch. Respect from Scotland.
Am with him on that 8)
Brilliant Chris, it’s like a massive land sculpture with a purpose, watched these from the start, thoroughly entertaining 🙂👍
Good place for a fishing class or a relaxing site
Stress absorber
When you started this project it looked like a monumental effort but you handled it like the pro you are.
You are an absolutely awesome guy Chris! You were very sick and still showing up to work at 0700 each day and then after a long day, going home and editing and posting a video for us. I surely do appreciate that so thank you sir!
So great to see everything done right and I overly enjoyed watching this whole project.
Dam packed in with good clay, nicely leveled and sloped, super duty overflow box, top soil dressed, A proud Barney being part of the fleet....
Man you deliver a good finished product!!!
Hey Chris !! WOW !! What a difference !!! Another GREAT job done even when you were "" under the weather """ !!! Hey
I stumbled upon the first video of this project from a month ago…WOW! what an amazing transformation, Chris! You REALLY converted a turd into a gorgeous gem of a pond system! Pat yerself on the back for all us fans! 👍👍👊👊💥💥💥💥
Definitely hoping for a late summer flyover to see it full and green. Great work from a true craftsman and his team!
Mr Chris you sir are handier then a shirt with 2 pockets. Looks amazing great job on the project in it entirety. Hope you are able to rest an recover. Thank you for allowing us all to follow along with the process.
Awesome Job. Chris fought through flu, rain and fixing a mess from prior construction. I always look forward to seeing the before and after. The transformation is always a great calling card.
Excellent work, showing us how it's done. Thank you for sharing a good lesson of how to train a new driver too all in one job.
Wow Chris you knocked it out of the park on this project!!
Absolutely beautiful work, quality craftsmanship. That's what built this great nation. They must be ecstatic with the results. I can't wait to see it full and the damn covered in grass.
I'd be at work and those regular notifications of 10 acre pond videos made my day. Couldn't wait to find time later that evening to watch it.
What an amazing transformation and I hope your as proud of what you have done as we are as your viewers.
The finished pond project looks great! Very good job Chris. You did well.
You are so smooth with that heavy equipment. It's like an extension, a magnification of yourself. Awesome. Your comments on how and why add a lot to the clips.
It’s so beautiful. It would be so wonderful to live on that farm. Well, onto the next. I can’t wait!
You're work is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Gracious, that was one heck of a job from start to finish. Excellent!!!!!
Great Job Chris.
You are a master behind the controls.
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!
(Please chicken wire that cement hole..? baby duckies !
Wildlife rehabber here- I can't tell you how many baby animals especially ducks I've retrieved from sewer grates ugh.) Moms walk over babies fall in)
Thanks so much for helping water fowl have a great pond to land in , awesome!!!
Absolutely incredible transformation!! The KING of mud & dirt has spoken!! You did a spectacular job!! The last 10 minutes of this video would be an awesome advertising video to send out to prospective customers! You can't argue with perfection! On to the next one. Take Care, Jim
Chris, the transformation of the swamp to this beautiful pond is a wonder. Great work by you and the crew. Another feather in your cap of wonders.
Just as I predicted, this has become my favorite LD18 video. I know these videos don't show the amount of time and effort that goes into these jobs, but I can say without any reservation... this job turned out to be nothing short of spectacular! I'd 'almost' give my left testicle to have you transform my little 3 1/2 acre pond into one of your masterpieces. The levee repair I had done last year leaves a lot to be desired...
Sounds like an upcoming job in the works
We Can’t Wait to see this 10-acre Pond Full as well. It has filled up Nicely over the past few days. Impressive Transformation. 👍
WOW! The customer is definitely pleased with this result, I'm sure the locals appreciate how good it looks too! 👍
it's amazing what you can do with a neglected pond Chris. love to watch a man at work who knows what he's doing. Great job, Great channel. love to watch your amazing skills with your equipment.

Well, a wonderful end product for this family! Well done. Sounds like you’re getting over the illness. That’s good.
Awesome transformation. Lots of dirt moved and a lot of team work to accomplish this operation. Really enjoyed this project. Hope you are feeling better.
Beautiful!!! It is impressive how you can make such smooth and straight surfaces with those heavy machines.
This has been an awesome pond series, been excited to see a new video upload notification when I come home from work. Such a great job and so sad to see series ending. Keep more pond video's coming! Please give us and updated video when pond fills up. Thanks!
This is probably one of the nicest jobs you have designed. From what this started out with and whatnot ended up with. Pretty cool layout.
Nothing wrong with a quick job near home . Always like to see the projects after it’s been a while to see the grass grown in
Wow - I must admit, this was of my favorites. Knocked this one "out of the park"! I can't say enough about your work ethic and whatever you are doing, you do it right. Yep - I think this was one of the greats! Thanks Chris!
Excellent work 👌 it was a really fun project to watch, amazing before and after shots! I too would like to see this pond when it's filled back up!
Awesome project Chris, it must be really satisfying for you to be able to pull a job this significant utilizing all your own plant and equipment, apart from the roller. You've come a long way in the 6 or 7 years I have been tagging along. A great achievement mate well done.
Beautiful pond and surrounding area.
No doubt about it. This set of videos are in your top ten. Great job! 👏
Such a wonderful conclusion to this project. I feel slightly sad that it's over if I'm honest?! The project / location became more familiar with each video, and it felt like I was turning up for work there, each day. A fantastic job! And as other have said, a definite revisit is needed on this one.
I feel the same way....a little sad that it's over but can't wait to see it full with grass on it...ready to get to the next job....just let me know time to clock in...
Me Too...
Damn nice dam Chris I was able to watch it all you are a true wonder with all your machines
Chris I've been watching the whole build and I have to say you are the best... Thanks so much for sharing Brother... God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent renewal, will stand the test of time. Your planning and progressive steps are very skillfully thought out and conceived. Would like to see this after summer with all the grass grown and any follow up to the dam road surface. Great job!
That was a big project. Finally it is finished and it looks just great. Very professional work is done by you and the whole crew.
Outstanding results.
Thank you for taking us along.

Evening Chris, glad to hear you sound better, great interesting job.
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
You've definitely turned a sows ear into a silk purse Chris! Nice looking pond and dam now! 👌 😀😃🙂
What a difference! You have really improved that piece of property ten fold. I’m like the rest of the viewers hope you can find the time to take some drone shots after the pond fills and the grass comes up. I have watched and seen a lot of damns put in but, never anything like you. Great videos and thanks for sharing all of them with us!
It also increased the value of the property when and/or if it's ever up for sale/in property investment
Beautiful job Chris. It really is amazing the amount of work you can get done by yourself.
The pond area looks great. What a great change for the better. I also have watched it from the start. I know you have a lot to do but if you get back by here someday when the pond is full and the grass is growing, would love to see a picture of that. Thanks for filming this.
My favorite project since I started watching. Please return once it full, I gotta see it full and maybe again after the grass has grown in, cause it’s gonna be beautiful. Really nice job, you have an eye…like artist and photographers.
Mighty impressive. Amazing how good skills and experience turned this pond around. Like to see this pond when its filled up.
It is really amazing how you have turned that neglected pond into one that any of us would love to have on our property. Thank you for bring us along on your work days. We love watching your videos because it is a joy for my wife and I to be able to watch a craftsman that you are in turning all of the neglected pond into things of beauty. Keep up your great work and like you said on Dirt perfect pod cast you will never have to advertise for work. Thank You for all that you show us .
I must say this was my favorite pond build and/or rebuild of all. You Sir are certainly very skillful at your job.
Chris I would say that's one of the larger pond jobs you have ever done and it looks great keep up the awesome work.
Great job to you and your guys Chris. Love to see that pond dam middle of summer
That really was a job well done. Thanks for documenting it. Glad you are feeling better too! Please go back and show us the overflow in action once the pond refills!
Turned out really great, would be nice to see this later in the year if you are ever back that way. Enjoy all you videos, stay safe.
Wow what a huge difference from the beginning to now. Great job Chris. Glad I watched the whole series!!!
What a major transformation! Great job Chris, hope you feel better!
Chris, this was an awesome transformation. It was a hot mess to start, the dam was downright dangerous, huge holes on the backside, a hodge podge of overflow pipes that didn’t work so good, swampy mess at the top end with fallen dead trees etc. Now look at it, I can imagine it filled with water, grass grown around the edge making it a fish, frog & bird paradise🐟🐸🦆🐦 The owner missed the opportunity to install a dock with the water drained, still can be done though.

Loved this project.
I remain bewildered how many people can afford all this
Amazing the work that gets done, when you stick too it the way you and your crew do it.
Wow! What a transformation. Thanks for the "before" footage. I had forgotten everything you did. It looks fantastic. Congratulations!
It really astounds how well you are able to see the future pond and make it happen. We get glimpses of your vision along the way…thx
Chris, that is one heck of a difference! You, sir, do some damn fine work! You clearly enjoy what you do.
Best job I have seen you do. GOOD WORK!!
Another project to be proud of, a huge transformation to that dam.

Brilliant job again Chris. What a transformation. You should be really proud of what you’ve achieved
Enjoyed the 10 Acre Pond series. You made an amazing transformation of that dam and should be proud of your work.
Some hail and a good rain this morning in Holly Springs. Hopefully you got some of that rain. Love the pond.
Must be my favourite project so far. :) Looks absolutely great. I can almost imagine it all greened in where it should be. ;) Hope you go back for those shots of it too later. Thanks for the whole series and all the new camera angles along the way Chris. Top stuff. :) You sound a lot better now too. ;)
Beautiful project. And to think you were sick for most of it. Awesomeness

Smart job there Chris , a big improvement over the mess that you had at the start . Must be one of the biggest jobs you have done so far.
Congratulations! Great job.
Now that's a night and day difference! I get the impression that you wrote the book on pond maintenance and repair.
Looks great. Putting the stones by the trash rack was a great idea that I never would have thought of. It will be way better to have a more solid surface when you need to pick sticks off. I wasn't sure how the borrow pit was going to look after taking all that material out, but it looks great too. Really enjoyed watching this one from start to finish!!
Absolutely the best transition yet, great job
This project has been so fun to watch, you made a huge improvement! Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us.
I have been following the project from the beginning. Would you consider giving us a tour later after the pond is full and grass growing. Keep up the great work.
With all the construction you had to do, it now looks manicured! Another fantastic job!
this has been the best transformation yet. I am very impressed with your ability to forsee the end result and use all of whats available.
This is not just being a great operator it is also art.
Doesn’t even look like the same pond. Great job Chris!
Amazing transformation - Hopefully we’ll get to see the pond full and the grass grown in at some point.
This one really does deserve pressing a like button. So much attention to the details Chris,wish I could work with you one day.
Kind regards
Luki
What a great project with outstanding results, it’s been my favourite to watch it to completion
You are a master of making good decisions with quality workmanship
Definitely a professional looking project to add to your portfolio Chris. Very impressive!
Loved the series on this pond. Every episode I really looked forward to the next one. This place really looks beautiful!!!
WOW!! Great transformation Chris👍🏼🤘🏻 The work you put in to the pond as well as capturing the series on video is absolutely stellar 👌🏼 Way to tough out the cold and “gitter done”!! More of our younger generation can learn from your work ethics!! Top notch Sir! Thank you!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
A great series Chris! I am always amazed at the transformation. Cheers
Going to look like a whole Nother pond now that it done and the water fills back up and the dam look amazing cause that was a lot of work and the haul truck worked out great and looked good doing it so all and all great job to you and the small crew that help you and anther one on the done list 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
