What happens here
Next, the video displays a larger 'Samson's Oasis' pond, described as ideal for fish and aquatic plants, and currently home to turtles and koi. This project starts at $25,300. The presenter explains that this larger pond requires machine-set boulders, increasing complexity and the need for heavy equipment. The foundation is still an 11x16 pond kit, but the larger stones necessitate machinery. Installation time is estimated at 60 man-hours (1.5 to 2 days for a crew). This project is presented as an intermediate step for contractors who have already mastered smaller, hand-installed projects. It offers a stepping stone to larger projects without an immediate jump to the largest, most complex ones.
Goal: Understand the characteristics, costs, and equipment requirements of an intermediate-sized pond project.
Tools and materials
- Aquascape 11x16 Pond Kit — Base components for the pond
- Heavy Equipment — Moving and setting large boulders and extensive excavation
- Machine-sized Boulders — Creating the pond's rock features
