HOT TUB LANDSCAPING IDEAS FOR EVERY BUDGET

Wednesday, March 10th, 2021

Your backyard is the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, a game of catch with the kids or an evening of stargazing– and that’s never been more true than right now. With travel plans on hold and many of our usual activities suspended, the backyard has become the “go-to” leisure destination. With so much time spent hanging out at home, you might be looking for ways to make your backyard or deck more comfortable and appealing.

So, where to start? If you’re a Hot Spring® spa owner, you’re in luck! Our hot tubs feature modern cabinet designs and gorgeous, nature-inspired color schemes, with sparkling water features and colorful mood lighting. Just add some landscaping and a few accessories, and you’ll be well on your way to creating a stunning backyard focal point.

Need inspiration? We’ve put together some backyard hot tub ideas for you:

Planting flowers is a simple backyard project that adds beauty and color to your backyard or deck.

WARM UP WITH A SMALL, SATISFYING TASK.

Chances are there’s at least one area of your backyard that could benefit from some TLC. Don’t put small projects off. Repainting or replacing old patio furniture, replanting flower beds, or simply finding a way to neatly store spa chemicals and gardening supplies are all quick, easy fixes. You’ll feel great when your project is done – and you’ll enjoy a better view from your hot tub.

A pergola provides shade and privacy.

CONSIDER YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

Next time you’re soaking in your hot tub, look around and think about how you might improve the experience. Is there something blocking your view of the mountains or stars? A simple tree trimming can clear the way, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of nature. If it’s privacy you’re seeking, strategically placed shrubs, a canopy, or a pergola can provide both shade and the coverage you need to fully enjoy your outdoor oasis. Installing a backyard fountain provides zen-like ambiance, and helps block noise too – the flowing water will muffle the sound of dogs barking and passing cars.

Personal touches like potted plants, lanterns, and lights complement the clean, modern design of this Hot Spot® spa.

SMALL TOUCHES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Inside and out, accessories are the easiest way to bring a splash of color and add personality to your space. Give existing patio furniture a fresh new look with colorful throws and pillows and add natural accents like decorative rocks and potted plants. Scented candles or string lights are an affordable way to add a lovely glow. From the perfect spa-side umbrella, color-coordinated steps, sturdy handrails, and handy towel racks we offer a range of accessories to enhance your spa experience.

Plants and accessories complement the look of your above ground hot tub.

DESIGN TO ENHANCE ANY SPACE.

Above-ground hot tubs provide you with options when designing your outdoor space. You might position it so that you can enjoy a beautiful view, in a secluded corner for privacy, or close to a back door for easy access.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SALT WATER HOT TUBS?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

For centuries, people have traveled to hot springs to bathe in the mineral-rich waters and experience their restorative powers. These hot springs are prized for their ability to improve health and wellness in a relaxing and natural way. Now you can enjoy those same transformative properties without ever leaving the peace and comfort of your backyard. By adding the benefits of a salt water hot tub to your everyday life, you can more frequently enjoy complete relaxation, avoid the harsh odors, itchy skin or eyes that can happen with a chlorine tub, and minimize the time you spend on cleaning and maintenance.

EXPLORE THE BENEFITS OF
SALT WATER HOT TUBS

1. Hot tubs become more like hot springs

One of the biggest benefits of a salt water hot tub compared to a chlorine tub is its ability to eliminate the unpleasant side effects of chlorine. Many people wish to avoid odors from chlorine and the itchy effects on eyes and skin that some people experience. With a salt water system, you get the more natural feeling, warm and soothing water with several technological advantages shown here.

Natural-feeling water

A salt water system in your hot tub makes the water feel more natural and comfortable for everyday use. With the softer water experience with less chance of skin or eye irritation from chlorine.

Enhance your fitness routine

A salt water hot tub supports your active lifestyle by bringing hydrotherapy into your home. Hot tubs relieve the pressure on muscles and help loosen joints, while also improving circulation. By incorporating hot tub sessions into your exercise routine, you can relax and rejuvenate your body between workouts.

Eco-friendly

Part of leading a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a healthy environment. Thankfully, salt water hot tubs from Hot Spring® spas are eco-friendlier than their traditional chlorine counterparts. That’s because you only need to change the water once a year with normal use. Less water usage and less chemical usage mean salt water systems are easier on you, your family and the environment.

2. Less maintenance

Most home owners want to spend more time enjoying their hot tub than they do maintaining it. Here again, salt water hot tubs produce some tremendous benefits.

Easy to maintain

With a salt water system with Hot Spring® spas, you take the guesswork out of water care. With a little salt added to the spa water, the system generates chlorine automatically and reduces your time spent measuring and adding chemicals. Plus, advanced spas let you monitor the sanitizing system with an intuitive control panel. This simplified system takes the work out of hot tub maintenance so you can focus on improving your health and well-being.

3. Enjoy total relaxation

Hot tubs in general are the perfect way to bring a calming, relaxing experience into your home. Strong chlorine odors, itchy eyes and dry skin don’t belong at a natural hot spring, so it shouldn’t be part of your attempt to recreate that experience at home. If you’re after the experience of a soaking in a natural hot spring at your home, you should look at a salt water hot tub.

A VACATION DESTINATION IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

Do you love to travel? If you’re like most people, you look forward to those few days a year when you can take a break from the worries and commitments of daily life and experience something new. But sometimes jetting off to an exotic destination or even taking a weekend road trip, just isn’t possible, especially during a pandemic. When that happens, the best we can do is try to experience the best things about vacation, without leaving home. It’s easier than you might think!

We did an informal poll, and asked people around the office what they enjoyed most about traveling. Here are some of the reasons they came up with:

  •  Getting refreshed and revitalized
  •  Having dedicated time to spend with your partner and kids
  •  Socialization with friends
  •  Time to reflect on your short and long-term goals
  •  Appreciation of nature and you surroundings
  •  Prioritizing pleasure over work and other not-so-fun obligations

With a little creativity, you can enjoy many of these same benefits at home. With a Hot Spring spa at home, wellness, happiness, and connection is as close as your own backyard.

Not quite convinced? This chart compares the overall wellness benefits of a hot tub versus a vacation.

Hot Tub

Vacation

Enjoyment Frequency

 Many Hot Spring customers make “spa time” part of their daily routine. Even when used daily, a high-quality hot tub can last 15 to 20 years or longer with proper maintenance. One to two-week duration once yearly. Memories can last a lifetime, although the experience itself is short.

Wellness

 Daily or at least weekly opportunities for revitalizing massage, meditation, connection and socialization with family, friends and neighbors leads to an increased sense of well being. Awesome for the one- to two-week period, but over quickly.

Socialization/ Community

 Consistent opportunity to invite family, friends and neighbors to connect in a pleasant, natural setting. Family and friends can join up on vacation. Great, but short-lived, fun. Out-of-pocket costs for all participants. Logistics can be a hassle for the organizer.

Connection to
Loved Ones

 It’s tough to bring a smartphone, tablet or television into the tub. The burble of the bubbles fills in silences, giving soakers opportunities to discuss matters at their leisure. Good opportunity to connect in stimulating new settings if friends and family members take out the headphones, put down the phones and stop to enjoy the experience.

Dedicated Relaxation

 A hot tub can serve as your personal reset button, helping you melt away mental and physical tension. And since it’s in your own back yard, you can enjoy revitalization every day! Opportunities to recharge, but also pressure to take advantage of everything the location has to offer; landmarks, museums, hikes, shows, athletic adventures, restaurants and more.

Meditation / Reflection time

 There is nothing like warm water and jets to help you access the subconscious and reflect on your emotional and physical wellness. A practice of daily meditation is proven to make you happier over your lifetime. Vacation brings a clear-eyed perspective back home. It also provides the necessary distance to re-evaluate goals and determine what matters. The problem is that resolutions discovered while away can be lost in frenetic home life.

Time in Nature

 Regular time in your outdoor hot tub helps you tune into the beauty of nature from your own backyard. This awareness helps you feel part of a greater world, a notion that eases stress and improves happiness. Visiting dramatic places like Yosemite or Big Sur can be life changing.

For an experience that leads to happiness, vitality, and connection, the hot tub wins over a vacation, hands down. A glance at our reviews illustrate the fact that hot tubbing is a popular backyard activity for families, empty nesters, athletes – just about anyone!

There will be time again someday to hop on a plane or take the kids to a theme park. In the meantime, your local Hot Spring Spas dealer can help you establish your own backyard retreat, where wellness, comfort, and connection are always available!
