You want convenience to get to, yet a private place where you can soak in peace. So try and place it close to the door you will most frequently use to gain access to your tub. Make sure the side where you will access the tub is open and allows for safe entry into the spa. The hot tub should be placed on a surface that can support its weight. Concrete pads are ideal material, but firm ground, decks, and gravel are also suitable – IF they can support the load. Always consult a licensed contractor if you are concerned about the placement of your hot tub.Landscaping for your hot tub will make it look like part of your backyard. Decking, plants, pots, and other backyard items are great in helping achieve a great look. Just make sure that you leave plenty of room to get in and out of the tub, and that the plants do not get into the hot tub water!
