If you’re adding a spa to your backyard, one of the biggest design decisions is how you want it incorporated into your pool.
A spa can be separate from the pool, integrated directly into it, raised above it with water spilling into the pool, or designed with an infinity edge that creates a seamless transition between the two.
Each option creates a very different look and feel. A raised spa can become a beautiful focal point while adding the sound and movement of falling water. An integrated or infinity-edge spa can create a sleek, sophisticated look, while a separate spa can become its own destination within the backyard.
Would your dream backyard include a spa? If so, which style would you choose?
