Dan from Long Island, New York, waited over a decade to build his backyard pond. But once he found the right info — and a little confidence — he finally went for it. Here’s what he had to say:
“Just wanted to say thank you. My name is Dan and I’m from Long Island, New York. I started watching your videos a few years ago and finally got the courage to go for it last summer. When I bought my house 13 years ago the first thing I said to my wife was: I want a pond in the backyard.”
“After over a decade — with your help — I learned I could do it without spending ridiculous amounts of money. Your channel really helps and inspires, and I’m loving the whole process.”
Dan’s pond is now up and running. He’s working on refining his system for winter and spring transitions, adding plants, and — most importantly — soaking in the sound of running water in his own backyard oasis.
“The tinkering is fun and I love listening to the stream run.”
And in true DIY fashion, he’s experimenting with floating plants like hyacinths and water lettuce — and even has strawberries planted in the bog!
