BEST OUTDOOR SPA LOCATIONS
When it comes to selecting the location of your outdoor spa, you want to consider both aesthetics and function. Do you want your spa to be a focal feature or do you want it to blend in to its surroundings? Will it be adjoining an existing pool, or will you be starting from scratch?
These types of questions can help you determine the best spot in your yard, to gain the maximum aesthetic benefits. Because your outdoor spa will need to be warm, and include ambient/safety lighting, you also want to consider your access to electrical sources. Meeting with a professional Bergen County landscape contractor is your best bet to getting a spa that will be the envy of all your friends.
OUTDOOR SPA INSTALLATION

OUTDOOR SPA AESTHETICS
Spas have come a long way in the past ten years. Today’s spas can be built to resemble natural hot springs or a sleek, modern resort-worthy amenity. You can opt to have your spa sit above ground, and use a gazebo, landscaping or a pergola to create an attractive frame. In other backyards, a sunken tub can help the spa to seem like a more natural landscape feature.
You can also choose from a wide variety of pavers to help expand the patio area around the spa. Pavers are made to resemble concrete, brick, and stone, and can be replaced easily if necessary.
OUTDOOR SPA FUNCTION
Who will be using the spa most often? If you have children, or will have children over on a regular basis, you will want to create some type of safety enclosure. How many people do you want to be able to use the spa at one time? By considering how the spa will be used, you can create designs that incorporate more or less people, places to hang robes and towels, and you can think about the types of lighting that will work best in your yard.
