Welcome to Episode #43! I am so excited to release this episode... this episode marks the 6 month mark of our weekly vlogging journey! I am extremely proud of our team as they have all gotten more and more comfortable with being on camera. Join me (Nick The Pond King) and my team on this two day build!
This is a fun project for me to show you! We install our Small Pondless Waterfall Package in just TWO DAYS!!! However, what is most important to me is not the speed, but the whole story of how we became so efficient without sacrificing quality! Hopefully now after watching you have get the idea we really do have a high standard for our projects. I will not be happy with a project if it is not done to what I consider perfect, leak free, now signs of problems or future problems... but that is not enough... It should be cleaned up as well! I love two day projects because our impact on our clients lawns is less noticeable. On project number 20 we had really wet conditions, along with a rapidly approaching fall... you can notice where our machines had to drive over the lawn, but that won't be like that for a long as we always use new dirt and seed to fix any damaged areas to the grass. In a matter of weeks the only evidence we were there will be the beautiful water feature!

I've been blessed with a career I love but more importantly than work is a #family I'm blessed to have! It is never fun making the decision to put down a family pet. We like to get a family adventure in one last time when we can. The first half of this video was to help us remember our dear friend Asia. While at the same time we were sad we made a few positive memories as well! The second half is this video was shot in March when Brad and I took a road trip to South Carolina to help Mr. Jay Duke for a week. I looked up waterfalls as we were in the mountains and sunrise approached. I stumbled upon The Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina only 9 minutes away from where I searched! We were able to gain some inspiration and study just how water interacts with its environment.
Thank you for joining us for episode number 128 #gaininginspiration part 3! In this week's episode we're studying how water interacts with different #landscapes! In Western Minnesota the water has carved its way through large glacial stone and bed rock, while in North Carolina water has taken boulders down hill with it until they're lodged into place form amazing waterfalls and rapid sections! All of these aspects we have been studying and attempting to apply to our designs!
Thank you for Subscribing and Commenting on this week's episode! Make sure to tune in next week where we're starting a two part series, project number 7 is TWO #waterfeatures built at the same time! See you next Thursday night 7pm CST!

Hey everyone, welcome back to our channel! Today, we're diving into something really cool - our 16th project of 2023, where we're turning a plain concrete wall in St. Paul into an awesome pondless waterfall. This isn't just any project; it's all about making something super natural-looking right where you'd least expect it.
For this build, we're working with our most popular setup - a medium-sized pondless waterfall that looks like it's always been part of the landscape. The challenge? We've got to get this waterfall to flow right through a concrete wall, but trust us, we've got some tricks up our sleeve to make it look like magic.
This waterfall comes with a powerful pump from Aquascape that can push out between 5,000 to 9,000 gallons of water every hour. This means you can crank up the flow for a roaring waterfall or dial it back for a gentle stream. Plus, we've added some really cool color-changing lights to this one, making it a hit when the sun goes down.
When winter rolls around in St. Paul, we've made it easy to take care of your waterfall. Just pull the pump out before it gets freezing cold and bring it inside. And don't worry, we've got your back with our fall shutdown and spring start-up services to keep your waterfall running smoothly year after year.
So, if you're curious about how we transform a tough concrete wall into a flowing, natural-looking waterfall, stick around. This project is all about blending the best of both worlds - the ruggedness of urban materials with the serene beauty of nature.

What if you don’t have a package for what I want? What if my space is bigger than your large packages? I am glad you mentioned that… Welcome to our Custom Package Highlight video. In this episode, we will show you things that can be done for a budget exceeding $30,000 as well as fully custom projects! I love the opportunity to create, every piece we get to install becomes a part of me. I consider our creations my babies and I truly love each one! That being said, I very much love being trusted to create something brand new. It is such an honor for a client to say… “Well, what do you think of this area? I want something never created before!”! After watching what we were able to envision and create, I think a lot more people are going to ask us to get creative!
Welcome to our Custom Creation Highlight video! This episode features custom creations that we were entrusted to create or we were a part of creating. Episode #66 is a showcase of lots of really cool creations. We will start off with a Fountainscape we did in the fall of 2019. This feature 2 of our waterfall spillway bowls and a level overflowing larger bowl with a stone staircase walking over the stream! Then we show off a LARGE KOI pond with project #23 from 2019. From there we are taking to you project #11 a HUGE Fountainscape that has a 360-degree viewing angle… you can drive around this feature in your car! After that we take you to a truly creative vision our friend Jay Duke out of South Carolina had. It is an old Chevy Pickup Fountainscape, 5 Bubbling Scalloped Urns make this incredible feature hop with life! Then we are showing you what we had the honor of creating besides Aquascape at IguanaLand in Punta Gorda Florida! The options to create for you are truly endless. Then we will show you some of the project we have been involved with during Aquascape’s Training Events and some of their huge creations… The sky is the limit! We love what we get to do for a living because no two projects are the same. If you have been struck with inspiration for your water feature please contact us right away… we can’t wait for more opportunities to create! I love my job!
Tune in next week for part 1 of a 2-part series… our favorite moments from past episodes! Thank you for your support and please hit that subscribe button :)

When our clients first contacted us, they had been looking for a pond builder willing to travel and help them bring their dream to life. They had seen our episodes here on YouTube and contacted us asking if we are willing to travel to Spooner, WI? YES!!! We love to be able to travel to do our projects. We set up a consultation, met on site and discussed the things they liked and what the project goals were. They are going to have their daughter’s wedding here in spring of 2021! This water feature will be the center piece for photos, hanging out and celebrating the newlywed couple! We were honored and grateful for the opportunity! The big reveal is finally here!!! I love the way this project turned out!
Thank you for joining us for Episode #99 project #16 part 3 of 3. Collaboration Nation! We are kicking off the first of our collaboration builds with Jay Duke! This is going to be a three-part series of us building our large Aquascape ecosystem pond in Spooner Wisconsin! That means it is a minimum of 26’ by 21’ and it is 3 ft deep. They upgraded to an intake bay and they added a wetland filter in the stream to help aid in the filtration. Because this is fed off of well water and it is in full sun we wanted to up our filtration as much as we could. We also are shielding a large portion of the system from UV light in the water storage units included in the wetland filter & intake bay. We use over 120,000 pounds of stone, 40,000 pounds of gravel and we move around a lot of soil! One of my favorite parts of this build is that Jay was gracious and taught me how to plant around our features! I had always had a good idea, but never had the confidence to just pick it all myself. Jay let me do the shopping and then just gave advice… great teachers point you in the direction to look but don’t tell you what to see! I am excited because from this lesson we were able to confidently offer planting to our clients!
Thank you for subscribing! Make sure to drop us a comment of your favorite parts of the episode or if you have any questions. Tune in next week where sadly we have to find and repair a leak from the installation of this project. We stand by our work and can confirm all fixes worked! See you next Thursday night!
