- John Adams has broken out this this "how we built our splash pad video" in 2 parts for the viewers. THE FIRST SECTION (which lasts until 5:35 in the video) is a quick run through of construction with lots of after footage. THE SECOND SECTION (which begins at 5:35 in the video) shows more in-depth construction information, details on the layout & pump vault construction, and gets more into the nitty-gritty of the build. At the end John shows you what he learned after a few years of owning the feature and what he would do differently to make the project turn out perfectly!.

Every backyard needs a splash pad.
Amen brother😎
Lovely to see how you created such a natural environment for the children 🥰
They stay out there playing and enjoying nature all day long- it is amazing how much they enjoy it!
WOW! There are not enough words to describe this! Simply
Simply? Funtastic? Amazincredible?😝
I think I’ll put one in my backyard. I’m so glad you are making videos again.
We never stopped!!
This is absolutely beautiful
Thanks, the kids can’t get enough of it!
Hey John great patio idea with moss boulders and hiding all the equipment etc. With regards to the settling issue on the pea gravel even after compaction maybe laying a layer of water permeable fabric on top of your last compacted layer of 1/2" to 1" stone. Lay down 1" of pea gravel compact that into stone base (this helps to lock in stone) then laying your 2"-3" layer of pea gravel then compacting again the fabric will hold the pea gravel from consistently falling into crevices of larger stones. I love love the idea of everything being hidden out of site and pitching everything underneath to center and the top of patio is level. I think i am going to incorporate something like this into my new house patio design.. thanks for sharing your immense knowledge with everyone.
Great to hear from you Dan! I hope things are great in your world!
wow talk about perfect timing on a video. I am getting stone delivered later today and I'm installing a permeable patio in the back yard next and was looking for something to accentuate the water retention side. What better way than a small splash pad for the kids and dogs for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
My absolute pleasure- thanks for tuning in and spending some time with us!
Awesome result and video, thank you John!
Thanks for watching😎
Super John G., looks fantastic! Love to see the kids play in the water!
They love it! I have it torn up right now doing swim pond “integration” stay tuned!
Amazing job and result !
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this so much; the project turned out so you for the informative video.
Thanks for spending time with us!
Nice work there John! Pushing the envelope of the Aquascape Lifestyle!
It’s amazing! The grandkids love it😎
I love this video I’ve watched it twice it’s encouraged me to do my own pond.
Inspired❤️
That is stunningly beautiful and would love to make one and add Japanese Koi.
We are working on our pond currently!
This is brilliant man!
Thanks Diego😀
AWESOME STUFF!!!!
I thought of you and your open space while we were doing this edit???
@@KoiAddiction yessir!!!!
great views from the home!
Its so amazing!
Great video guys!!!
Such a great project, such great characters!!! I love watching the grandbabies🐸🌎🐢
That makes 2 of us!
I’m starting my fish pond this coming week! Can’t wait to finish it ❤️
I wanna see it when you’re done!
That is amazing. What would the patio cost without all the water feature work, say if a guy, an every day Joe such as myself, wanted the patio to frame the Serenity pond and stream you build me?
We would have to crunch numbers- gravel and material prices are changing so rapidly it is hard to keep up with it!
Awesome project, John. If I ever finish my pond, then I'm going to build a pondless waterfall in the front yard. And if I ever finish *that*, then I'm going to build a pervious patio w/ water storage like this.
Your project might benefit from some downspout leaf traps Could spit out a lot of junk that comes off your roof before getting to the vault, which would allow you to extend the time between pulling pavers and cleaning your input vault.
I keep the gutters clean. No problems with debris at all. The “leaf vault” was empty when I just opened it for the first time- curious…
Hi! Wonderful video. I am going to put in a smaller splash pad in my back yard and wanted to recirculate the water. One question I had was how does this do in the winter? I live in Utah, will the freeze and thaw degrade the water catch system? Did you incorporate drain for winterization?
We let it run all winter. Our reservoir is about 30” deep below patio surface, so it (the reservoir) doesn’t freeze inside (in Tennessee) due to geothermal. Ithas frozen over to the point where there was a total “ice dome” over the fountains and the water was flowing inside of the dome still without hurting anything. I can’t say what would happen in Utah, probably need to put reservoir a bit deeper but maybe no. If you try it out let us know, that would be great info to share! FYI- our reservoir under the splash pad holds 60+ tons of gravel in addition to the aqua-blocks. We calculated 4000-ish gallons in our holding tank (reservoir) below the pavers. Just some #’s for ya!
Too cool. I thought this would work but haven’t tried it yet. What do you think of it today?
Love this thing! Can’t wait to get it back up and running this month!!!
Really cool project man!!! 🪨💦
Was a blast to build!
Sweet
See you in a bit Sammikins
Superb 👍
Thanks😎
I want to see what type of slip n slide John can come up with on that hillside! No boulders on that project though..
I can def build something crazy like that, just sayin…
How long do u keep the pump running? Do u ever switch it off?
We just opened up the splash pad for the first time, it always runs though!
Nice patio. Not really a splash pad
