What kind of equipment do you use to transport these huge rocks from the truck to the site without blowing your back or damaging the client's yard? Thanks. I love your videos...very very informative.

[ThePondDigger]

@ScreeminMeeme We used a large rock dolly and wheel barrows on this project to move all the rock to the backyard. When we have access I like to bring in equipment to move the rock. We have a little BOBCAT that we use when ever possible.

im thinking about buying your mini waterfall kit, what size of pond does this make and do you think i would be able to put it together?

[ThePondDigger]

@burub123 Hey BURUB123! Our waterfall kits don't have the appropriate size liner to build out a pond and they don't have a biological filter or skimmer. They are designed for disappearing waterfalls only. I just wanted to clarify that so you don't end up with the wrong equipment.

You want to look at the pond kits. The smallest mini pond kit is a 6' x 6' and I am confident you can build it with our assistance. We help do it yourself pond builders across America every day.

Hey can i get a job with you???? I have a koi fish with me in a 20 gallon tank. I know its gonna outgrow it pretty soon so this christmas ima get a 75 gallon tank and then during the spring i was planning on building a pond around 4000-5000 gallons since im thinking about breeding him with somone :) If i worked with you i think i could gain some experience towards building the pond im trying to accomplish. Ive also heard of a filter i think goes by the name of vegi filter or somthing and people

@Merks1889 Where do you live? We are looking to grow exponentially this season and could use a few more SUPERSTARS on the team.

How long is a pond liner expected to last... Can bottom and sides be made out of a foot or so of clay compressed and then covered with river rock? I'd like to make a pond on my brother's property big enough to be a swimming hole, with balanced ecology and relatively clean looking water..

Any literature, books, videos, university programs that you know of that addresses these parameters?

@ThaGama2 It's hard to haul ten tons of rock and boulders with a Prius, smart car or electric car. I'm all for the environment you can trust and believe. I did actually get rid of that gas guzzler recently. I do miss it dearly. I aquired an even larger truck with better gas mileage to haul even more rock and boulders!

Hey pond digger!

I'm a qualified landscaper/horticulturalist in Australia, is there anything else that would be useful to have before i get into this kind of work? Is a basic understanding of agricultural plumbing enough?
