How To Plan Your Backyard For a Hot Tub?

Start with the basics: backyards, decks, and patios are all about relaxing. That’s why a hot tub fits in so well. Let’s assume you’re just thinking about adding a hot tub to your backyard.

  • Plan to use your hot tub all year long. Plant seasonal flowers, move furniture or add a spa umbrella when the seasons change.
  • Keep it simple: you may only need matching steps and planters around your hot tub.
  • Create a leafy, natural retreat around your hot tub, for privacy and beauty. Don’t wait for trees to mature – ivy-covered trellises surrounding your hot tub work well, too.

Backyards For Beginners

How to Add Landscaping to Your Hot Tub?

The rule of thumb is to plan for or around the hardscape. This is masonry work, woodwork, patios, decks, wooden arbors – anything permanent or built-in. (Plants, shrubs, lawn are considered softscape). A hot tub should be thought of as hardscaping, especially if you’re planning to surround it with decking. Look through some examples of hot tub installations for inspiration.

How to Enhance Your Hot Tub Installation?

Nurseries full of exotic plants are tempting, especially in the Spring, but they don’t always fit in when we get them home. Most backyards are organized by a few strong elements, like a green grassy lawn, rows of hedges, a patio for entertaining. Start with these dominant features, and also decide how you will get to and from different areas. Then fill in the blanks with seasonal plants, furniture, etc.

How to Prepare Your Backyard for a Hot Tub?

When you see something you like, consider adapting the idea for your yard. Plants growing in your neighbourhood are a safe bet (the climate supports them). Admire your neighbour’s new brick walkway? Ask for the name of the bricklayer, or maybe the homeowner has some tips for you! You can research how-to details online for almost any landscaping or outdoor remodeling project.
