@chelseafries9481 11 ай бұрын

Welp. I did indeed tear up my yard and attempted to create a beautiful waterfall, after watching this insanely inspiring video.. I now have waterfall foam, not only on my clothes, but in my boots and somehow my husband has waterfall foamed his underwear to his shorts😂 My God you guys make it look so easy! 😅

@luudantu7211 Жыл бұрын

So just to make sure I understand the video correctly: the goal is to foam the interior side of the rocks that surround the waterfall and pooling area but not the exterior side of those rocks, instead you leave a pathway of small river rocks to let any water seeping thru foam can flow back in the reservoir?

@Tusseylandscaping Жыл бұрын

👍you got it!

@pamelavanhorn-beagle5879 3 ай бұрын

Wonderful. Would you teach us how to stabilize the reservoir basin. Surround with sand or gravel?

@Tusseylandscaping 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I can let the guys know your suggestion!

@luudantu7211 Жыл бұрын

Instead of using all rocks/boulders, do you recommend using some large heavy tree stumps in between the rocks to break up the monotony? If so, should they be just outside of the pond or ok to use both inside and outside of the pond?

@Tusseylandscaping Жыл бұрын

I do prefer using stumps and driftwood cause it helps soften up the look most of our s are actually out of the water but I'm not scared to put them in the water if it's a hard wood like locust.

@saltyfresh9712 Жыл бұрын

Quick question, Are all expanding spray foams safe for ponds, like from the hardware store, or do you have to get pond specific, thank you.

@Tusseylandscaping Жыл бұрын

We do sometimes use another kind of black foam called pro black that doesn't say it's for fish ponds and that stuff is fine. So I would guess you'd probably be alright but can't say for sure as I've never tried it.

@davidb9271 Жыл бұрын

Does tussey landscaping have a garden center? Do you sell driftwood and boulders ?

@Tusseylandscaping Жыл бұрын

Yes, it's called Tussey mountain mulch.

@coppcar Жыл бұрын

What equipment did you use to place those boulders? Thank you for the work that went into this masterclass. If you were close to me, I would hire you to redo my feature.

@coppcar Жыл бұрын

If the machine used to move the boulders here is the same as in kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5qFZ7WXm9m6dIE.html, it is a Bobcat 430, or an E42 was used here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idNdjNqh1tqtZ4k.html The 430 is 8,000 lbs and the E42 is 10,000. My local rental place has Hitachi 7,000 lbs units. I'll have to use smaller boulders. How to set boulders. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idNdjNqh1tqtZ4k.html

Yup we used a bobcat T 595 skid loader and an E 42 bobcat excavator.

How do you cover up a sheer drop or steep slope of you don't have enough or big enough rocks. If you cover in pebbles they slide off same with other ways of covering up.

@Tusseylandscaping 11 ай бұрын

That can be tough. You're right pouring gravel or mulch over it won't work. Big boulders are just so important. Even with small boulders you often can build a bunch of terrace style walls.

I"m curious as to how much of the moss actually survives the wet foam chemicals against it's root base.

@Tusseylandscaping Ай бұрын

It all just depends on each type of moss and the location of the feature itself. I have some beautiful moss on boulders that were in full shade and when moved to full sun, it died within 2-3 weeks. Moss likes shady moist areas!

There are two (2) letters missing in today's instructive video episode: The letters "D" & "J"! (No disrespect to the appropriate Ben casting as host/narrator, we just miss the Barb & Foil between the two) Though, there was a "DJ" mention @ 9:10 in this offering. (& @ the11th minute, 3 "DJ" mentions..) ---- I am calling a technical foul on the mentions. "DJ" brought the moss". " DJ did this & that." Yet, no sight of DJ, at all. I am skeptical that DJ was even there ha.......

Nevertheless, the "B-roll" here is incredible. I am always stunned at just how thoroughly exceptional the work is with Tussey Landscaping. Thanks for another informative, quality "how-it's-done" video....... (Even sans DJ & Westin)
