{How To Clean Your Waterfall} Spring Cleaning Pondless Waterfalls all over Minnesota!
Yes, you can clean your own waterfall! It is simple, it is just not always easy. In this week’s episode, we are cleaning our Pondless waterfalls. We will take you all over Minnesota and show you how we like to clean our Disappearing Waterfall Systems. It is a very simple and repeatable process. We want to show you how you can do it yourself… or why you might want to hire us. It is not easy as some of the smells of things sitting over the winter are very unpleasant. Well that and the fact that you are going to get dirty! I fully believe that all of the hard work going into a cleaning is worth the summers worth of enjoyment you will have.
Thank you for joining us for Episode #57 of our vlogging Journey! In this week’s episode, you will learn our simple process for cleaning your Pondless Waterfall. Yes, you can do this yourself. In fact, we want to be your resource to empower you to feel confident in doing this yourself. We are a small team and we intend to stay a small team. We give our clients a unique and personal experience. Because we never want to grow too big, we won’t be able to clean everyone’s pond. Remember, it is Simple, Just not easy!
Here is our simple process: Pump in Drain out the nasty water Pressure wash Flush out Drain it again Fill it Hook up the pumps And enjoy
Tune in next week for our “How to Clean Your Water Garden/ Koi Pond” episode. We will show you the simple process for cleaning a pond after Minnesota’s harsh winter. Pond cleanings are way less fun than Pondless Waterfall cleanings. There is typically more nasty decaying matter to take out in a pond… We will show you in Episode #58!

Join the Team & I on project number 18 in Prior Lake, MN where we are building our Large Deluxe Waterfall! I always believe there are rewards for conquering goals with a positive attitude! Last week’s episode, project #17 was awesome! Friendly clients and a cool canvas to create with, but the access was C+ because of the tight squeeze. We are getting to play with another cool canvas, but this time it is new construction!
I love when our clients contact us in the Spring and say “We would like the next available spot in your priority line please?”! That is what happened with this LARGE Disappearing Waterfall! They got in line as #18 in the early spring without even knowing exactly what they wanted. This have them plenty of time to decide on their water feature. This is their forever home to retire in and they had always wanted to be able to hear the sound of running water from their home. We knew that we were going to do one of our deluxe packages because of the two pumps adding a richer deeper more natural sound. We were first planning to install the medium deluxe but when we started building we realized we had space for our large deluxe pondless waterfall!
Episode #41 Project #18 is our Large Deluxe Pondless Waterfall Package is 25 ft. in length, up to 10 feet in width and includes TWO 4,000 to 8,000 GPH adjustable pumps. I am really excited to say that this year the pumps will be controlled via Wi-Fi and an App on your phone! I love getting to create all of our features, each one is like a baby of mine… not really but kind of. They are important to me, the future of them is important to me, the client’s happiness is important to me. That being said I get really excited whenever I get to make things wider and up the water flow volume. I feel like this gives us the most natural looking waterfalls. I cannot wait to see what this whole landscape looks like in the summer of 2021! That will be the 3rd season the plants will have been planted and that is when our features start feeling more and more natural!

This is an episode that means the world to me... This is project number 9 in 2019, it's also the same project Erica The Pond Queen (my wife), was diagnosed with Stage 1B breast cancer. She's incredibly strong and if you're just starting to follow us, Erica is why our business survived the first few years. She worked her tail off to pay household bills, so I was able to continue building our dream!

I love my career & I love our clients! I especially love Dick & Nettie! They will always have a warm spot in my heart as they were just wonderfully supportive and kind when I had to break away to be with my wife. She found out she had breast cancer during this Dick & Nettie's project.
I love the story of how they found us and how it all started:
It was an early Minnesota spring and they found us just by doing a Google search. They decided to drive from Burnsville to Eagan and knock on Justin's door... He answers the door holding his baby girl Kaylee and they ask him "Are you The Pond King?!" Justin says "I'm not thee Pond King, but I do believe you're at the right place!" From there they started talking about their existing pond which they had built around 20 years ago and was even in the paper! Of course they saved the newspaper article which featured their fish pond!
That same afternoon Justin went to assess they're original pond. He looked for things he liked about it first, then he went into all the things that could be improved... the improvements list was long! Over the years concrete had been poured over holes in the liner, it didn't have the 5 part recipe and it was 20 years old. The techniques & technology were not where they are today. After talking about their pond, discovering their lack of interest in fish keeping and their travel schedule, they decided together that our disappearing waterfalls were more in line with their current goals. Justin then visualized the space and which of our packages would fit the space best... Boom! This Medium Pondless Waterfall Package was visualized and agreed upon... check out this transformation!

In tonight's episode we complete this awesome #backyard #koipond ? See the completion of our Medium/Large Ecosystem Pond in New Prague, MN. This #pond is approximately 21' x 16' x 3' deep and is quickly becoming a popular option.
Thank you for joining us for part 2/2 episode number 187, project number 14 of 2022. Our clients hired us because they wanted a natural looking pond and loved what they saw with our past work! They love the big boulders and #naturalistic designs we create & knew they were in good hands.

Continuing our huge pond in Alma, WI we get to the phase where we are filling and even get to jump into our work!
Thank you for joining us for episode 194 where Nick is helping TSB Lakefront Restoration & Diving build this HUGE Aquascape ecosystem pond in Alma, Wisconsin. This pond is approximately 85' x 35' x 8' deep. Includes jump off rocks, rock stair cases, floating sitting rocks & a sandy beach! It includes an intake bay with 5 pump vaults and a large wetland filter which is 20' x 40' x 3' deep which hold 250 aquablocks! We used around 600,000 pounds of stone on this giant project. We have two Aquascape 18,000 gallon per hour external pumps which power the wetland filter, waterfalls and jet system. It also has color changing lights and an outdoor speaker system. The ultimate entertainment space!

Our Medium Sized Packages are our most Popular packages! We start off this highlight video with our medium Pondless waterfall package and then we move up from there. What I really love about this highlight video is how well it shows off the uniqueness each project we create really is! We installed 4 Medium Pondless Waterfalls and 4 Deluxe Medium Pondless Waterfalls in 2019. I really love how this video shows that though the packages are similar, each creation is totally customized to the client’s vision! Our medium packages are perfect for an area of about 300 square feet. We will change that area into your new gathering place with a 15-foot-long waterfall or a Small Koi Pond with a stream! I said this last week and I will repeat myself again this week… What I love about my career is that it truly is an Art form! Every single project is different and unique to the space!
Welcome to our 2nd of 4 Highlight videos of 2019. This is our Medium Sized Package Video Highlights. Episode #64 is a showcase of everything we built in 2019 for between $10,000 & $20,000. This is a compilation of all our medium features we built in 2019. We feature 15 feet long waterfalls, wider waterfalls, small koi ponds with long streams! You will also see some upgrades from our packages like different stones, color changing lights and larger build up. Like our small features, each project was designed to fit the space we had to work with in and to stay within their realistic budget. We can design unbelievable features, but it is a disservice to you if we design something outside your realistic budget. That is what I love about our career and art form. It is something that is completely adaptable to individual budgets and properties. If you are interested in a design consultation, give us a call 952.454.3101. At the time of this release we are scheduling into Mid-September of 2020.
Tune in next week where we are going to showcase our Large Packages of 2019… You will see what you can do for under $30,000!

When our clients contacted us about their water garden they knew it was in need of some renovations because it was approaching more than 20 years old. He asked “Do you guys do anything like that? Take apart old ponds and redo them?” I was excited to say “Absolutely and my goal would be that this pond will be the last one you will ever need to own.” After scheduling an on-site consultation and hanging up the phone I realized we can do a better job of conveying to people looking for a renovation, that we LOVE to do renovations! It seems like nearly half of our projects from 2020 were because someone had a pond that needed attention. My favorite part about doing a complete tear out and redo is how dramatic the before and after footage are! It is so fun to conquer the challenge of designing in an area someone already used before us… What do you think of what we installed?
Thank you for joining us for episode #85, Project #7 of 2020! I really love the way this project turned out… but after watching and remembering we did this in 4 days… I am impressed by my team! This is our Small Ecosystem Water Garden Package, with the addition of 15 feet of stream/ waterfalls. It is an 8’ by 11’ by 30” deep hole that is then filled in with boulders… but hopefully after watching us for a while you know that we rarely stay within the confines of our packages! We make the pond bigger, the stream longer and wider and we make an awesome build up for a natural looking stream! I love the way this turned out! The 4k to 7k GPH pump creates the perfect sound to achieve our goals!
Join us Next week for Project #8 of 2020, a small Pondless waterfall using Superior Blue Stone… Another fantastic piece of art!!! Subscribe now do you don’t miss anything!!!

Here we build a truly one of a kind feature in Bloomington, MN! ? Our client had a vision and provided it to Nick & the team ?. We were able to execute this stunning feature to compliment our client's incredible back yard in paradise in the making! ??
Though the waterfall from start to finish is only about 12-15 feet, it is about that wide too! ? We accomplished this by utilizing FOUR Aquascape 5,000-9,000 Gallon Per Hour pumps ?. So Cool! ?

No Pond King this week??? NOPE! Just the team doing one of my favorite projects of the year! There are projects that are closer to one's heart than others... this little bubbling rock in Edina, MN is dear to me! Join Justin & Mark on project #12 our bubbling rock package! This thing is the perfect dog drinking fountain, bird bath and subtle tranquil sound for any yard!
Why is it near my heart?... I've never even seen it in person!
Justin & Mark did the whole project without me, they did it during Erica's first chemotherapy treatment. From Justin having the first conversations, to him picking out this Gorgeous boulder, to logistics and final clean up... even going back for a garden tour... they handled everything!
My favorite part is that our client gave us a 5 star Google review!
Nice work gentlemen!
Tune in next week for golf day!
