You're not going to believe this but I was watching one of your videos with your cat showing up and I said quietly to myself "wish I had a gray cat like that"...a few days later a gray cat showed up almost identical to yours. How about that?! Life is funny sometimes!
Mary, this is an appropriate video. We watch you clean your house and now we watch you clean your pond....a consistent message! LOL! (I don’t have a pond, nor clean my house as thoroughly as you do!) but still enjoy your content. (I pretend my house is clean after watching your video!)
The Notebook scene was a good one! Especially since your handsome husband was just trying to get you rowed across and wasn't aware he was doing anything romantic. Thanks for the giggle.
I can tell how much you love nature and want to take care of it. I wish everyone in the world felt as you do. God has given us many gifts that we need to take care of.
Don't have a pond, don't plan to have a pond -- but this was INTERESTING and I watched the entire thing! hahaha Seriously, grew up on a farm and had several algae-filled ponds that looked like this, remember dad and grandpa having the extension agent come over with advice a few times but they never cleaned up like this! Congrats, and enjoy that water :-)
Oh my goodness, that pond, and the area surrounding it is so beautiful. I can just imagine sitting nearby reading/studying my bible. It seems that when I am out in nature I have such an enhanced sense of God's presence and much greater appreciation for this gorgeous canvas that he created for us to enjoy. Perhaps one day before I go to be with Him I will be blessed with a beautiful pond to enjoy. Thank you for sharing this. Be blessed. xx
My heart always goes out to you when something doesn't go quite as planned like how the water was too fake looking at first or when you thought you had ruined your kitchen counters, as you are such a kind and genuine person that it's hard to see you be disappointed by something. I think that the pond looks amazing - great job!
My last house had a pond with a stone covered bridge over a part of it in the backyard surrounded by willow trees. It was beautiful. We would find old fashioned keys in the pond all the time. I don’t know why they were there but it was neat to find them! The pond was the reason we purchased the home. There was an outdoor fireplace and in the winter friends would come over to ice skate and warm themselves by the fire with hot cocoa. Your video made me miss that!!!
When I saw you walking around the pond in a skirt and flip-flops, I thought you must be having an unusually warm November! It wasn't until the end when you were bundled up and stating you started the project in September that it made more sense. The pond cleaned up very nicely! I don't have one myself, but there's one up the road that could sure benefit from a clean-up.
wow.. we just bought a home with a 5 acre pond that is in bad shape. We have reached out to Pond Guy and i would agree that their customer service is outstanding. Thank you for confirming that this is the best company to go with. Best of luck
Oh Mary, you are so sweet. You made me laugh with your reenactment of "The Notebook" I love that. You pond is so beautiful too. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow! The pond is so beautiful. I just love your property, it screams peace and tranquility. I love your videos! You are a talented, sweet lady! God Bless.
Mary, I love your commitment to all your projects!! That in itself is a great Life lesson! The pond looks fantastic! We are blessed with fresh Spring water on our property as well....
Great job Mary. I love your pond. Such a lovely area to just relax and be closer to God. The deck looks beautiful. A weather vane would look good on top of the Pavilion roof and some metal flamingos or other large bird statues by the side of pond on the grass. My imagination is going crazy with ideas. xx
The reflection of the trees in the water is so beautifull, the water is much clearer then before. You are blessed with such a beautyfull place to live Mary. greetings from the Netherlands ♡
The pond is beautiful! I’m assuming since you mentioned ‘The Notebook’, that you read all of Nicholas Sparks’ books. My daughter fell in love with his books with his fist. Since his new books come out in the fall, I would always give her the newest title for Christmas and after she finished it she would pass it to me. After she married and moved several hundred miles away, I knew it would be quite awhile before I would see her to get the book-so I read the book before I gift wrapped it for her! So, the first Christmas I did this, on Christmas morning she opened it up she, as always was very happy-and I told her it was a very good read and she need not worry getting it back to me. I took some ribbing about giving a ‘used’ book as a gift. They were still living far away the following Christmas so I,again, read the book before gifting it to her. So, after she opened it up my son-in-law asked, “How was it?” Big laugh from the family- so now, quite a few books and years later , it’s expected of me to read the book before Christmas! I think they’d all be disappointed if I didn’t read it first! Gotta end this-there’s a new book hidden away in my closet that I need to read! 😉. Take care-God bless!
Beautiful turnout for your efforts. It looks lovely. I love that pond and your whole area is so lovely. How nice for them to guide you and give instructions through it all. As you mentioned the customer service is wonderful and that is something that is missing more and more, so it is nice to find a good reliable business who knows how much it is needed to keep the customer knowledgeable so the product is used for best results. Very excited for you and it will be fun to see how it works throughout the winter and into spring. Best of luck........knowing you love that pond as well.......it is beautiful!
I grew up with a big pond in my back yard. I'm not sure how my dad took care of it but it always looked well taken care of. We did plenty of fishing in it over the years and had a small canoe we kept anchored to the dock. Your pond is looking beautiful. I know you must enjoy having it. Thanks for sharing!
This video about your pond makeover is very interesting. I don't have a pond anymore but loved having one years ago. I'm very grateful you decided to include this video in your playlist! You & your family inspire good maintenance of everything...so important & rewarding!
Gorgeous pond. Enjoyed your video. We all learn these steps by trial and error to some degree. I’m going to try the black pond dye next to see how I like that color. They all fade over time. What impressed me most about your pond is how full of water it is. So wish I had a spring fed pond.
My grandparents lived next door and had a pond when I was growing up. Don’t have one now, but found this interesting to watch. Aeration is frequently a factor in helping your pond, especially the fish in it when the temperatures get really hot in the summer. Yours is looking better definitely.
Pond is looking great!! When we had our pond in OH I refused to used anything that i considered any kind of chemical. I used an aerator & dye. We were told some algae bloom in the spring is good and a sign that your pond is healthy. We raked it off, it was great addition to our compost. Without chemicals I felt better about swimming & fishing in it. Good luck with yours
lol! I can see from the comments that many people like me don't have a pond, but still enjoyed your video. I kept thinking, oh I wish she had a boat ! and then there it was. happy ending all way round :) Beautiful improvements !
That was fun. We went through the same process with our pond and the pond guy. They’re great! I highly recommend the Kasco fountain and LED RGB light kit. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for sharing the experience.
What a beautiful scenery to paint. I’m sure you know how bless you & your family are to live in such a beautiful place. LOL “The Notebook” how sweet is that!!
Hi Mary, it was amazing the results of all your hard work on your pond, I believe it was all worth it.. your property is beautiful. How deep is your pond and could you swim in it. You are an amazing, creative and hard-working lady and I enjoy watching your videos. When does your day begin and when does it end, I’m always amazed at all you accomplish in a single video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creative nature.
Who would have ever thought I’d be riveted to a video of someone cleaning the muck out of their pond. But I was! You make every video so interesting and educational Mary. If I ever own a pond I will now know what to do!!
What a transformation! I didn’t realize how large your pond is. That’s a small lake! Sure was worth all the work. I never knew there were additives that could renew an older pond, however I have passed the freaky blue colored ponds people have. 😳😱 The row boat and “The Notebook” reference too cute...wait a minute...where’s my box of Kleenex? 😭 What a lovely place to sit and relax.
Loved the fact that the family had a helping hand with the first parts of cleaning it up. Grew up on a farm and we were fortunate to have a live stream going in and a over flow going out so even having cattle and horses, we didn't usually have the issue with algae. Your pond is looking really great
Mary, I just have a small fish pond, the dirty green water drives me crazy! So to make a long story short, I just used 4 water hyacinth and within a few weeks my water was clear! The hyacinth multiplied and bloomed. The hyacinth cost me $8.00. Very easy fix. You should try these. I enjoy your channel so much.
@@daniellewhorton7507 you are 100% correct but I just remove them as they multiply and give them away. Mary's large pond would probably be a big job to control them, but again you are right.

What a magical place your home is! You have everything! MVP award goes to your son, amazing balance as he lowered the aerator! Your hubby is way better looking than Ryan Reynolds. Lol! That boat is perfect!
Hi Mary, Your pond is amazing! It was great seeing your son, Pebbles and the scene from the Notebook was adorable!!! Thank you, The Pond Guy for Mary's healthy pond.
Mary I don't even have a pond and still found myself watching the entire video ❤️👍it' turned out beautiful ❤️ love your little nod to "the notebook" 😉❤️
AwwwMary, that pond looks fantastic what difference. U have a beautiful piece of property. In one part of the video I could see the reflection of the trees on the pond, it was so pretty. I enjoyed this video so much even tho I don’t have a pond it definitely was informative. ♥️😊👍
WOW! I didn't realize all the care that a pond needed to keep it healthy and pretty! I wondered if you had any fish in your pond. You really did a great job making it so lovely!
I love your pond. A friend of mine has two which are divided by a small bit of land. She has a water spray feature in the middle that lights in the evening. Beautiful.
What a difference! YAY, Pond Guy! Now I can just see you stripping that boat and painting it and naming it! 😂
Omgosh!!! I was thinking the same thing!!! Lol She could certainly do that!!! 🤗💕💕💕😻
Quick question tho..how often do you have to add this stuff?
Even though I don’t have a pond.. I found this video quite interesting and enjoyed it very much.. thank you for sharing

I had no idea what is involved in keeping a pond healthy. It looks great/beautiful. Well done.
The pond looks so pretty now. You and John are good stewards of your property, that is lovely to see.

Nice surprise to see you today.
All I can say Mary, is you live in paradise. The leaves on the pond were stunning. Happy thanksgiving 🍁🍽🦃
The Pond is Beautiful. I don't have a pond but I love anything you have to share.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home scape.
You are so lucky to have such a beautiful garden and pond, even with the trees so bare it is still beautiful.

It looks allot better Mary, well done John and Mary ( and son)
Wow! I love the results.
Beautiful property by the way 🤗
Such a beautiful and serene blessing.
Lots of work but goodness the pond is so beautiful and looks like a peaceful place to spend time.
Your pond does look so much better. What a beautiful setting you have.
We use these products in our pond in Jasper Alabama. They work very well. Also we just purchased an windmill aeration system from Rural King.
