    Well done Rick. Another awesome project. I absolutely adore the peaceful and tranquil garden you're creating. Let's hope you find time to sit in it and enjoy the beauty of it all. 🙂

    It all looks great - it will be lovely to see how it looks with the planting around it. Well done!

    I hope the pond and the bench serve you well. Hopefully some nice summer evenings will be spent out there with a glass of wine and a few buddies :) Take care Rick. Jazz.

    Hey Rick, that's a nice pond! I have to say I felt quite honored to see that you've had a statue made of me to sit next to it.

    you put a lot of love and care and work into everything you do Rick💗 i love that it's a deep pool of water and the fountains everywhere are gorgeous! The bamboo and Buddha makes a lush sanctuary and I like how you've laid the rocks and stones. Your Japanese garden is coming along beautifully .. it's such a pleasure watching it taking shape with you. Thank you so much for sharing it🌿🍃

    The garden's looking great Rick, a real haven of tranquility. I love the Japenese theme of it all as well. Quite envious as I live in flat and don't have a garden! :)

    Your garden is turning in to a little peaceful sanctuary, looks a lovely place to sit in and chill out. Would love water features in our garden but have a bunch of dogs that would ruin it in no time lol. Well done enjoyed that vid too.

    • @rickvanman

    That's a really nice yard. Water features are pretty great but I'm too lazy to keep one up properly. I'll have to settle for stone and some Japanese iron bells/windchimes.

    Thanks Rick for sharing your creative ideas, I loved that lay out at the end with the bamboos. I wonder if you will put a potted lily in the pond? A wonderful backyard sanctuary.

  • @Sheila6325
    @Sheila6325 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Rick, that's Beautiful! I also love BOTH new benches, and the trees behind the pond was Perfect! I'm quite shocked at how wonderful it turned out. I'm not used to "Comfort Areas," being someone that's always just running to get things done, so Comfort is foreign to me. Only proves that I need more of it, and this is just Gorgeous! I think you have talked me into making a space like this for myself when I start my backyard remodel next week. As usual I was being all organized thinking, and never even considered a nice quiet comfortable place to relax. Funny thing is, I could do this with a lot of things I already own. Maybe I had it in my mind all along, and didn't even know it. What a great video. Thank you so much, Sheila PS Now I will have to find a great water feature for my yard. I sure love yours.

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Sheila6325 Thanks Sheila, glad it helped spark a few new ideas :o) You'll have to make videos of your yard remodeling :o)

    Hi Rick, Your neighbours made a good job of that fence. Is it wood or plastic, if wood I would love to know the make of paint they used as it is a really good finish.

    • @rickvanman

      Hi John, it;s UPVC plastic I think :o)

  • @nickwhite4632

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Nick - Yes the extra wood was the base LOL!

  • @mblaine012015

    Sonny that is wonderfully made a Video! Your little Yard is spotless and very clean. I would go for a little waterfall on the side and have a submslb. pump to keep it all going or just a fountain. Look forward to see more. Your relaxed style would do me nicely in Australia!

    I'm pretty sure those strips were supposed to be the base, but no matter - the pond looks fantastic!
    I'm loving the looks of your garden, Rick! Very Zen! :) Kudos, mate!

  • @matthewgordon-clark2392
    @matthewgordon-clark2392 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    hope you worked out what the 'mystery' pieces of wood were for Rick?

  • @BionicRasta
    @BionicRasta 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think those strips of wood are used if you choose not to install the seats so it all looks flush on top, if you only require one seat then not having the other two will give you a bit more space round the edge

  • @jesusfdez4892

    Hi Rick. You're gardens really starting to look really good. Quick question, what's the folky sounding song you play in the video as you start laying out the pond base? I've heard it before in your allotment videos and really like it!

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Robert Cousins Thanks Robert. The song is called "Happy Mandolin" and is from the TH-cam music library :o)

  • @zenzen9131
    @zenzen9131 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great pond Rick :) I think those pieces of wood left over are probably for finishing the off top if you do not wish to install all of the seats ? Just a thought :)

    • @mattloopt7972

    What a relaxing back yard meditation area you have created! Great for the coming summer months. Hope you spend many relaxing hours there! Will you be adding coy fish to the pond? Did you figure out what the extra boards were for? Thanks again for the video share! Gael

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Gael, went for goldfish in the end :o) Yes the extra wood was the bases LOL!

    • @gguerard
      @gguerard 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you take the whole thing apart, or did you decide to just live with it as is? The gold fish will be easier I expect. I expect the larger fish would probably cause you to clean the pond more often.

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just left it as it was Gael :o)
      Yes I used to keep Koi, but looking after them was pretty full-on compared to goldfish.

    • @gguerard

  • @johnfithian-franks8276
    @johnfithian-franks8276 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think you were right about that wood left over being for the base but it should have been shown in the plans.Be carful what you do with the bamboo as we made the mistake of planting it straight into the ground and it spreads like wildfire and I spend a lot of time trying to cut it back

  • @liam1082
    @liam1082 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you decided on what fish your having may I suggest ORANDAS fantails or maybe even blackmoores these fish grow to a standard size and in that size pond you can have at least 10 they will grow larger later on and will be a very entertaining fish as I have them in my 300 gallon pond also

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Went for standard goldfish in the end :o)

  • @tommylee2894
    @tommylee2894 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Rick,
    The music is great in this vid...good classic stuff! Also the production values are wonderful...did you upgrade to editing at 4K? The lightening/contrast/colors and sound is very nicely polished.
    Looks like you are getting that backyard Feng Shui'd slowly but surely into, shall we say, a nice little Japanese Gardenish kinda thing...your own personal little Shangri La...lol. Maybe you'll be bitten by the Garden Pond to start a Koi Pond, in the future. I've built two Koi Ponds for myself and helped two of my friends build them as well. Do you follow James Wong(Botanist that has done shows on backyard gardening/Herbalism...etc.)? If you need a pointer or two on Garden/Koi Ponds...I've learned quite a bit through trial and error...lol, and have had good info. passed on to me, and would gladly pass it on to you. I think that Garden Pond you just built might be problematic for you during winter time...being that it is above ground.
    Cheers mate,Tommy

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tommy Lee Thanks Tommy. Still filming in 1080 - only at 60fps. I used to keep Koi in a big pond a number of years ago but it was a constant battle with green water, cats, and maintaining filter systems etc. It was nice to watch them but it was pretty full-on. I'm thinking more in terms of goldfish with this one LOL!

    • @tommylee2894
      @tommylee2894 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +rickvanman You are most welcome Rick, yup no doubt that a Koi pond can be a major pain in the butt, it truly is an art to getting them balanced and staying clear on their own. Still if you do go with goldfish, I recommend getting yourself a few Algae Eaters...Chinese and Loaches are nice...and of course you know that Plecostomus are great at taking care of Algae, and Crawfish too do a good job. Water snails are nice...BUT they will eat the hell out of many types of ornamental water plants. Maybe an Archer fish would be fun, way cool to watch them knock bugs off with squirts of water! Anyway looking forward to seeing what you do with the Garden Pond, and how your backyard Shangri La evolves into!

    Hey, Rick! I"ve always wanted to ask you this. Wouldn't you like to have a dog? A lovely little collie would be amazing company :)

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ryan Hare Hi Ryan. I used to have a Labrador & they do make great company. I've often thought about getting another dog, but I think with my particular lifestyle, a pet of any kind can also become a bit of a metaphorical ball and chain. I see how friends and relatives are often tied-down and their options restricted by ownership of their pets. This is what is stopping me getting one at the moment.

    Your insane but then us living like chickens lined up in pens on a ball floating in space? doesnt help either. you could create a private area where the shed is to relax without being potentially spied on

    Hi, Rick, First of all your garden looks great. One thing though, Buddha statuettes are not meant to be garden ornaments! They are similar to Christian's Jesus on a cross. What you wound NOT do to the Cross, you should NOT do to the Buddha statuettes either.

      +tavit lertritsumpun A very interesting clash of cultures. Buddha statues over here are viewed as a symbol of peace and tranquility, they inspire a more centered state of being.

      +rickvanman I do know that as I spent 8 years in UK. I don't mean you should take them down but rather avoid showing them in public video.

    • @rickvanman
      @rickvanman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +tavit lertritsumpun What would be the purpose for such avoidance?

    • @tavitlertritsumpun7160
      @tavitlertritsumpun7160 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +rickvanman Avoiding stepping on other's toe. Enjoy it by all means but have a little respect for others.

      @tavitlertritsumpun7160 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No I meant the way they are situated (on the ground) and as a garden ornament that may be seen as disrespectful to others who has Buddhist faith. Think of it this way if I had a Jesus picture as a floor mat and I didn't show them off publicly, no one would know or be offended by that. But if I show it publicly I am sure some Christians would not like it. By not showing it I think I give consideration to others (Christians).

    That pond is terrible quality, the woods a joke, bet it cost a bit too. Nothing against you Rick but I think you could easily improve it's build quality.
