I just got almost four tons of free Flat Rocks from a guy who did not want his pond anymore I went there and took them to go back and get the rest I'm doing little by little as I only have a small truck I love the ideas on the rock

Hi William, you can be successful with either approach as long as the pond is properly equipped. My strong preference is to build with rock and gravel because of the overall performance of the pond and the clean clear water.

Fantastic video! Installing pond water to your garden can add more comfort and happiness. It became more lively because of the presence of the living water. As you see the water flows, it can help you relieve from the day's stress.

@postie97402 I can't really give the price of this exact project, but most small ponds start at about $3500 completely installed with professional grade equipment and many of the extras like lighting, etc. Thanks for commenting and checking out the videos. =PH

@rattokala Hi and thanks for commenting. I'd highly recommend lining your pond. Even hard packed surfaces will still allow for the leaking of water. A liner will keep your water IN the pond!!

@superwhiz88 Hello Whiz, we use both cement or glue to secure the rockwork but only when necessary.

@ALLOY07MUSTANG Hi, thanks for the comment. This pond is only about 200 gallons, it is a smaller pond. The kits can be purchased online they are made by Aquascape, or you can go to my website loveyourpond com and contact me, I sell these kits too. Visit me on facebook/thepondhunter too!

@3DGAR775 Hi thanks for the comment. This pond is a few years old now and has had fish the entire time. In my area of the US you need 24+ inches of depth to winter your fish. These fish do fine. This pond has lost a couple of fish from a heron hunting it though. During winter months the pond is aerated via the waterfall.

@1KREEPAH3 Hello Kreepah, a project like this would not take longer than 4 days start to finish. The pricing depends on many things but in general our projects start at about $3500. Thanks for watching the videos and hope you will connect with me on Facebook too at The Pond Hunter Facebook page.

@Arteolike Sounds like the pondless would be the best bet if that is the case, better safe than sorry. Unfortunately I have see a few ponds in my time get vandalized and it is always where the public has access to the water feature.
ALP'ie
ALP'ie - 14 years ago
@thePondHunter Yes i was considering that too, our neighbor hood is junk, i don't really trust people here. I guess i will install a pondless,

@Arteolike I like both, however when you are doing an install with "curb appeal" I lean more towards pondless installations. I am not always comfortable with the fish being exposed to the public it can sometimes tempt people to mess with the pond a bit, sometimes it is good intentioned, sometimes not... it's the nots that worry me. Let people see your work but for the fish you should be with them, you can educate them too and keep the hobby going!!!
ALP'ie
ALP'ie - 14 years ago
Alright... So i am planning to install some kind of water feature out front after i am done wit the one i have in the back yard. But i an not sure if i should get a pond-less or with a pond?? I would love people to be greeted by fish, but then again a pondless looks so interesting? What do you think is best?

Thanks, when I get rockwork in I try to keep the nice rockwork for the areas of higher visibility. rocks that are not as attractive can be set below water level.

Great video ! I just watched it in high quality. The Rocks are amazing . I love the colour . The dark Rock on the left of the waterfall with the light stripe through the middle of it really looks good ! I have just started to collect Rocks for my spring pond project !

Hey Rick, these rocks are held in place with a construction foam that is safe for fish, and aquatic life. we use it for the waterfall area also, to control how the water moves through the waterfall.

are they all loose with nothing holding them in place? like cement? or that foam?

WOW! Great point about the sound, never considered that? Not that is doesn't look appealing but if you can only "see" the water from the waterfall better. Like if you have a pot and water just flows over it, you cant really see that water is going down, but a crack in this rock lets you see the water more cause it sort of bounces of it! I would just increase the GPH on this! But the costumer's wanted it and you gave it to them! Anyway nice job it really blend's in!
thePondHunter
thePondHunter - 15 years ago
Arteom!! hey, I like dramatic waterfalls too, but I gotta build them how my customers want them. Also, on a pond like this it has a pretty small footprint which means dramatic falls will obscure visibility in the pond because of surface agitation. Also, they have a table about 5 feet away and the dramatic falls can get a bit "loud" when you are sitting right next to it and have to keep yelling across the table for your guests to hear ya!! ........there's a method to my madness sometimes ;-)
ALP'ie
ALP'ie - 15 years ago
I still think that the waterfall needs more - "Drama" I know i sound picky, but one rock for me just wont cut it if it was my pond, but it still looks good and all, but it could look better !?!
thePondHunter
thePondHunter - 15 years ago
I use that trick often.. who wants to look at a filter! This customer loves his pond right on his patio. It came out very cool.
