When your incorporate your spa into your back yard you can make it an extension of your home and add your own personal touch. Here are a few elements to keep in mind when you are designing that perfect backyard getaway. LightingYou probably already know from decorating your home that lighting has a powerful effect on setting the mood. Lighting can be romantic, sexy, dramatic, calming, relaxing, or set a host of other moods. It can also alter the entire look of your back yard. You can use it to highlight a feature like a sculpture or make your hot tub stand out. Its a very inexpensive way to give your spa a look and feel that meets your personality. And Jacuzzi understands how important lighting is and what effect it can have on the ambiance of your spa. Thats why they offer the Water Rainbow color lighted waterfalls. Not all the models have this option but many do. Its a great way to set the mood once the sun goes down and it gets dark. Another popular option is the underwater lighting which comes with a variety of colors that can be rotated through or you can just choose the color that goes with your current mood. PlantsYou might not think about the impact of your plants but you should! Incorporating what Mother Nature has to offer is a great way to compliment the atmosphere around your spa. Heck the right plants can take you to a tropical paradise without ever leaving your backyard. And plants can also provide privacy and security. Hedges work great for creating a buffer around your spa giving you an wonderful sense of privacy. It also discourages people from entering your property and in some cases it even disguises the location of your tub. Dont be shy with those plants. Besides incorporating plants around the spa dont forget about including some in the gazebo or right near the spa. Tropical plants will do great with the humidity and theyll look fantastic! That said make sure that you choose plants that can tolerate all climates for your area. Tropical plants look wonderful picture a few palm type trees, some flowering vines with their wonderful scents and beautiful flowers. Consider also adding trees. They will provide shade and privacy. For example a Japanese maple can look just spectacular. Try to avoid trees that will drop leaves onto your spa. These type of trees should be planted slightly away from the spa. DecksYour deck can add the finishing touches to your spa and it can also provide a great deal of functionality. It can provide the frame for the spa as well as safe walking space, and even seating space. The size of your deck will determine what can occur on the deck. A nice large deck will make a great place for some comfy chairs so that your spa outings can also be a social event. Wood is a common material for decking. What type of wood is entirely up to you although cedar is very affordable and looks great, especially aromatic cedar. When it gets wet it has a wonderful smell. You might want to consider it. What ever type of wood you choose is entirely up to you but make sure you treat it properly. The CoverYour Jacuzzi cover will not only add the finishing touches to the look it will help maintain your water temperature and it will provide an element of safety too assuring young children and pets cannot get into the spa. The hot tubAnd of course it all centers around the tub the size, the shape, the depth, the color. All these elements play a role in how you will develop your landscaping integration. Will your spa be in-ground or above ground? Will you be placing it in the middle of your yard or tucking it in a corner. You should take some time before filling your hot tub to determine exactly where the perfect place in your yard is. Remember your spa increases the value of your home and a spa thats placed and completed to compliment the landscaping increases the value even more! If you want your Jacuzzi tub to become part of your landscape just add one Jacuzzi cover, some fabulous looking plants, lights for mood, and the right deck and suddenly the value of your home will have increased.
