Pond Day1 Breaking ground

What happens here

The design focuses on visibility from the house, ensuring the pond is enjoyable from indoors, especially during colder months. The pond will feature a continuous water flow, creating a 'river system' effect from one side to the other. This flow is essential for maintaining optimal water quality. The water will be discharged near the house, flowing under a planned bridge, and then circulating back into a customized skimmer system on the opposite side.

Goal: Plan the pond layout for aesthetics and functionality

What they say

up and through correct and then this week it's just us just us you got it's just me Ed and Zach behind the camera and what we're going to do is we're going to do the work before the real work begins yeah what I want to try to do is get some of that infrastructure taken care of so everything goes more efficiently so you're familiar everything with construction trades right so it's I don't want to bring a massive team in place and not have people being productive let's go inside and let's show these guys what we're going to build they always go inside of the house and look at the main focal point because they want customers to be able to enjoy that thing even when they're sitting inside watching TV right so you always start inside absolutely we always start inside because you do you spend the majority of your time I mean here the Upper Midwest you know we get we get cold we get snow we get we get rain we're going to be sitting in the house having coffee in the morning but we still want to have that lakefront property and Lakefront view because that's what I love about this is it not only looks good but it is has different recreational qualities sitting outside by the fire so we we want to have visibility from inside we want to have just an expanse of open water coming through here we also want to have a flow we call ourselves the pond guys but in my opinion we almost create more river systems because we have a flow that goes from one side to the other and the reason we do that is cuz we're going to get better water quality shallow water
