Plot Synopsis

POND STARS is a one-hour reality series that follows Greg Wittstock and his crew at the Chicago-based Aquascape, Inc., as they travel across America transforming backyards into aquatic retreats. These water-feature specialists -- boss Greg, scientist Ed, foreman Brian, and newbie Chris -- design water and landscape features, dig ponds, select rocks and fountains, choose widlife, and install plants and flowers, while invigorating the surrounding ecosystem. In each 60-minute episode, the crew completes two jobs in a different region of the United States, including: Atlanta, Georgia, where they tackle two projects in five days -- a pond for rescued turtles and a 35-foot waterfall and 600-gallon reservoir to entice wildlife to flock to a backyard; California, where they replicate a brown trout stream in a client's mountain backyard and a healing garden for a cancer survivor in Los Angeles; and Jacksonville, Florida, where they finish a 30-foot pond, a 2,000-pound cypress tree bench and several tons of beautiful Tennessee fieldstone for Larry Payne and install a new pond, patio and pergola in less than 48 hours for a second client.

Nat Geo Wild premiered the Season 1 finale of POND STARS on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT. In the season ender, "Big Bad Wolf," the Pond Stars head to the world-renowned Lincoln Park Zoo in the heart of downtown Chicago for two massive projects, made more difficult by buried electrical wires, dangling thousand-pound boulders and animal-safe build requirements.
