Aquascape Ecosystem Pond - A deep dive exploring detailed design aspects.

So many people email me directly asking for more pond videos, so here you go. I will also address the single most common question I get asked... how much did it cost? This pond was a lifetime work in progress, thinking of different aspects I wanted, design features, etc, then spending 20 years saving up for it. Today I will go over all the various design features in this pond, many of which cannot be seen at a surface level. I started my journey looking at “natural swim pools“ from the 1954 Austrian designer Gottfried Kern. I then started leaning towards EU style natural swim pools. However starting about 5 years ago, I got really excited looking at more directly integrated ecosystem ponds as designed by Ed Beaulieu who has a BS in Zoology with an emphasis in Limnology, and a masters in Marine Biology, specifically fresh water systems. When I started seeing these integrated designs, I fell in love with the idea, because to me it was as tightly integrated with na
