What happens here

The existing front pond is removed to make way for a new patio. This involves carefully extracting large boulders, dismantling pond liners, and removing all associated plumbing and filtration components. The mini-excavator is used to pull out stubborn bushes with a quick-loader ratchet strap (which is noted as not ideal for this purpose, potentially damaging the strap's internal gearing). The goal is to clear the entire area of pond-related materials.

Goal: Clear the front pond area for new patio construction.

Tools and materials

  • Bobcat Mini-Excavator — Extracting boulders, removing liners, and pulling out bushes
  • Cat Skid-Steer Loader Caterpillar — Assisting with material removal and loading
  • Quick-Loader Ratchet Strap — Attempting to pull out stubborn bushes (not recommended)
  • Boulders Natural — Part of the pond structure, to be removed
  • Bushes/Shrubs — Vegetation around the pond, to be removed
  • Pond Liner — Part of the pond structure, to be removed
  • Pond Plumbing and Filtration Components — All associated equipment for the pond, to be removed

What they say

Hide

and yard part of our project is to remove the front pond to ferment to a patio so all of the boulders and stones have to go still remember we cannot forget flour in your ear [Music] in forward listen to my heart listen and she [Music] this is the right idea but definitely the wrong tools they grab a ratchet strap instead of just a regular ol strap to try to remove this bush they just can't reach it otherwise and what happens is by using the actual ratchet strap part of it the gearing inside of there is compromised and therefore you can't use it to strap down equipment anymore you basically after you jerk and pull on it like this you gotta throw it away
