Design Considerations
Hard-Surface Options (Decking and Flooring): In addition to selecting a
hard surface that meets the recommended safety and maintenance criteria,
consider textures and colors that will assist in enhancing the aesthetics of the
area in which your spa will be installed. e decision to match, contrast, or
blend the hard surface colors and textures with those of your spa should only
be made after carefully researching your options. e cost of a Landscape
Architect may be money well spent.
Surrounding Landscape: e correct landscape around your spa will not only
soften the adjacent hard surface areas, but will add life and much enjoyment to
the environment. If the budget allows, you may want to consult with a Land-
scape Architect for expert advice.
Spa-Side Accessories: Besides selecting the correct hard surfaces and land-
scape around your spa, the addition of the proper spa-side accessories will
provide just the nishing touch that you are looking for. Spa steps, benches,
towel racks, planter boxes, or an outdoor replace are just a few of the items
that can be considered when accessorizing your spa.
