    I haven’t even gotten 3 minutes into the video and am excited. For some reason the pond build or restoration videos are more interesting to me than the clearing videos. Can’t wait to see the whole job and the final product.

      I started watching him when I thought I might be able to buy property next to mine that has a perfect spot for a pond so long as there's no drought.

    Between tree roots, no core trench, (and probably dirty rotten muskrats), that pond dam has issues for sure. Chris is certainly the right man to fix it!

    I love the pond repair video's. How you turn something that just looks like a run-down mini pond into something which looks totally stunning. It is wonderful to watch the progression. I especially love following along and finding out what it is that has caused the leak. Be it a unknown or not remembered pipe to the bank for whatever reason just failing to wrong material used. You have wonderful skills. I also greatly appreciate the amount of time you take, which work wise probably slows you down. In taking these videos. Then editing them as well as uploading them for us to see. It is greatly appreciated Chris. Thank you!!.
