UPDATE: Here's the pond now after 400 days! https://youtu.be/2EvDsbrS9Dg

Starting off pond season right with a proper DIY pond! I’ve been working on this when I could for the past two weeks and I’m so happy to finally have it done. It doesn’t come across on video, but first it was hot, then cold, then it rained, snowed, hailed, etc. I nearly experienced every season in only 5 days lol! Anyway, you definitely can see a huge difference on video, but the in-person view is incomparable from the original. I’m so pleased with how it turned out, but I especially like the waterfall. What’s your favorite part? I can’t wait to see it grow with the fish swimming around in the water. I’ll share that in a future video of course. Until then, enjoy this one and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

This is the best ‘budget’ pond video I’ve seen. No recommending the top tier overpriced pond equipment, no commerical equipment to dig and move rocks. This is how a normal person could build a pond. And you are the first person to tell me that the regular can of foam is the same as the expensive black pond type. Bless you 👍🏼. This is how I built my pond and five years later it’s going strong.

I have a pond in my yard and they want $10-12k to make it bigger. This made me confident enough to do it myself

It only took you 5 days to build this?   Dear God, you're a machine.

Dude said the end result was decent 💀💀

Ever since I bought my house last year, I've wanted to dig a pond!

Holy crap! This is gorgeous! The only problem is… If this is an early mothers/Father’s Day present to your parents, you were making the rest of us look like crap😂 Seriously, they must be absolutely thrilled! I can’t wait to see it with the fish in it 👏👏👏

I love how Serpa created a beautiful pond from nothing, it truly is a talent

I can imagine how crazy lucky and proud your parents feel every time she sits by the pond, rejoicing in the beauty your talent, skills, (and hard work) brought to their yard. <3

You are the hardest working person I’ve ever seen! Working for days in rain, hail, snow, all for an absolutely incredible result. The combination of the rocks, moss, plants, and stream is so on point to nature it’s insane. Great work again, Serpa.

Hey man I've been meaning to pass this along for a while.

Thanks for changing how we, my wife and I look at things like sticks, rocks, moss etc. We have a large property and find lots of "debris" that looks great in terrariums etc.

A particularly good find we say would be "Tanner approved". You changed how we see the world and that opened up creative ideas we would not have had without your influence.

It's only taken me 4+ years to find a thorough step-by-step DIY instructional video on this subject that didn't drag it out with a lot of fill-in mumbo-jumbo! THANK YOU!

The masculine urge to do something like this myself is horrendous 😂

What a wonderful son to do this for your parents.

Great build! Would love to see more frequent update videos revisiting your projects a few weeks after you set them up. Would be an easy way to add even more content to the channel without building a new setup every time

We NEED a one-hour video of this pond and the waterfall flowing. It'll be calming and very pretty too!!!!

Now that's a pond! Gorgeous! You're right, the split rock, logs and flat rocks of the waterfall are the crowning jewels. I love how the pond in whole looks olive green, that will make a great contrast against the bright red goldfish and really make the fish pop out in their environment! Brilliant work as usual Tanner.

I love waking up to a new Serpa design video

I know it's not possible to give this kind of content more often but i still wise 🥺

I really appreciate you going over the costs and giving advice for what you can and shouldnt cut costs on :) i feel thats a really important part of DIY/instructional videos I don't see super often
