Full Backyard Pond Build Start To Finish

We dug a pond in our backyard and this video summarizes the entire build from the inception to the completion.

Merch is now available before Christmas and more designs will be coming soon after.

I love this! It was the pond build that brought me to you channel. My favorite comment through the build was when you started to get water and you said, "We wanted hot water." 😂😂

It is so gratifying to see good people achieve great things.

This was cool to watch, I joined when you where digging for water with dad but I was instantly hooked and went back a watched the other videos. Great job!!!!

I absolutely love the clean rock and cement industrial look, it`s not a swamp like most I see, that are covered in weeds and you don`t even want to sit next to them because of the bugs and such. You might have over engineered the pillars by a lot, but better safe than sorry later, I do agree a 4 foot sidewalk all the way around may have looked better, but the deck area where you spend the most time is bigger, it looks fantastic. I also know that cement bill was huge, so yeah, we get it, I have a friend who has a big pond, with just a wood deck going out, they hardly use it 2 foot of weeds all the way around, there ducks use it more than they do, I won`t even go in it. So yeah you made the right call, and it has the right look, I think it looks stunning to be quite honest, all the best to you and your family around the Holidays sir.

When you were speaking about "over engineering" the pier, I thought about something my Dad always said. He built houses and always said, "if something I build ever falls, it should be from the weight of the nails, not the lack of the nails". I always think about that whenever I build anything and tend to over build it somewhat.

Great job on the build.

Great recap Neil ! That part at the end when you guys jumped in pond was awesome if i remember right it wasn't that warm when you guys did that...🥶

I came to this channel for the diy videos but I return for how you involve your family and be involved with your family. I grew up without a dad so I don't know what it's like to be a good man, I get the idea here. Your teaching more lessons then you know. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into it neil.

I think being out in such an open area, the 7 ft rock edge around the pond is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also the side walk looks more like a ribbon separating the grass from the pond but not taking up too much space lol. I think three ft wide on the sidewalk was the right call as well. Just a great project from start to finish 👍

You could easily have a career on any dyi show. Amazing story telling skills...thoroughly enjoyed the recap Neil!

Where I live in the Eastern Pa Anthracite region limestone is used to treat acid mine drainage. So there is no problem with limestone in the pond.

Loved watching from start to finish wish i had the space for that size pond

[meatkurtin]

That’s was a fun journey. I think my fav part was when all the fam showed up to dig the well. Even tho it didn’t work the effort from everyone really showed the essence of what it means to be human. We work together. It’s can’t be done alone 🤝
