Turn Your Backyard Into A Spa Retreat

Many people come to us with a simple wish. They want a place to relax close to home, without having to pack up the car or share space with strangers. A custom spa can be that place, whether you see yourself unwinding under the stars, gathering with friends before a night out, or easing sore muscles after a long week.

We start by listening. During our initial conversations, we ask how you plan to use your spa, who will be using it most often, and what the rest of your outdoor area looks like now. Some homeowners in the area want a quiet corner spa with privacy and soft lighting, while others ask for a raised spa that becomes the visual centerpiece of a full pool and patio design.

Shaping A Spa Around Your Home & Lifestyle

Because every family and every yard is different, we approach each project as a blank canvas. We look at the lines of your home, the way the sun moves across your property, and your preferred style, then shape the spa to fit. For some clients that means a sleek, modern rectangle with clean edges. For others it is a rounded spa tucked into lush landscaping with a spillway into a pool.

Throughout this early stage, we walk you through possibilities instead of handing you a catalog and asking you to choose a model. Our team works to ensure that what you imagine at the start is closely aligned with what you see and feel once the spa is complete.

Our Custom Spa Design & Build Process

A successful spa project is about more than a beautiful design. It also depends on a clear, organized process. We break the journey into understandable steps, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

From Complimentary Consultation To 3D Design

The process typically begins with a complimentary consultation. We talk with you about your vision, collect information about your yard, and discuss your preferred investment level. When it makes sense, we schedule an on site visit to evaluate access, slopes, existing structures, and any features you would like to keep or change.

From there, our designers create a detailed 3D plan. This is where your spa starts to come to life on screen. You can see the spa shape, seating layout, steps, and how the water feature connects to the rest of your outdoor space. We review these designs with you, make adjustments based on your feedback, and refine details like materials and finishes.

Permitting, Construction & Final Walkthrough

Once the design is approved, our team prepares the documents needed for city permitting. The specific permit path can vary based on your property and local requirements, and we handle those details for you. During this period we also finalize equipment selections and construction planning, so that once permits are issued, work can move forward efficiently.

During construction, you can expect regular communication from our team. We outline typical phases, such as excavation, plumbing and steel, concrete, and finish work, and we keep you updated as each milestone is reached. At the end of the project, we walk the space with you, review how the features work, and confirm that the completed spa matches the agreed design.

Custom Spa Features Tailored To Your Lifestyle

One of the biggest advantages of a custom spa is the ability to shape every detail around how you plan to use it. We help you sort through the options so the final design looks beautiful and functions the way you need.

Comfortable Seating & Jet Layouts

Seating and jet layout have a major impact on comfort. Some homeowners prefer full body lounge seats for deep relaxation, while others want open bench seating that makes conversation easy. We can plan varying depths, from shallower areas for sitting and talking, to deeper zones intended for soaking tired legs.

Finishes, Lighting & Special Effects

The finishes you choose set the tone for the entire space. Waterline tile, interior surface color, coping material, and deck finishes all work together to create a style that can be modern, natural, or somewhere in between. We walk you through combinations that complement your home’s architecture, whether you want a subtle look that blends with existing hardscape or a bold focal point that stands out.

Lighting and special effects also play an important role. We can incorporate energy efficient LED lighting for both safety and ambiance, along with features such as spillover edges into a pool, raised walls with scuppers or sheer descents, and surrounding seating areas. If you envision pairing your spa with a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, or shaded lounge space, we plan those elements together so the entire layout feels cohesive.

Designed For Henderson Climate & Neighborhoods

The desert environment shapes how a spa feels and functions, and thoughtful design should reflect that. Here, intense sun, dry air, and temperature swings between day and night all come into play when deciding where to place a spa and how to finish the surrounding space.

Placement, Shade & Privacy

We pay close attention to sun exposure and prevailing winds on your property. For example, a spa placed in full afternoon sun may be uncomfortable in the peak of summer, while one positioned to capture evening light can be enjoyable for more months of the year. Shade structures, pergolas, and nearby landscaping can be used strategically to create comfort without closing off views.

Many neighborhoods have homes positioned close together, which makes privacy an important design consideration. We look at sightlines from neighboring windows and upper stories, then use elevation changes, walls, or planting beds to create a more secluded feel where appropriate. Our designers also consider views you may want to highlight, such as city lights or distant mountains, and orient seating so you can enjoy them from the water.

Working Within Local Guidelines

Local building codes and HOA guidelines often influence details like fencing, setbacks, and the appearance of visible equipment. While the specific requirements vary by community, our team is familiar with common review processes in the area and prepares spa plans with these factors in mind. We discuss how these rules may affect features such as raised walls, screen walls, or the placement of equipment pads, then adjust designs accordingly.

What To Expect When You Work With Our Team

When you decide to move forward with a custom spa, you are not just choosing a design. You are choosing a team to guide you through a multi step project. We work to make that experience clear, organized, and as enjoyable as possible.

Your Initial Consultation

During your complimentary consultation, we talk through your ideas, ask questions about how you want to use your spa, and discuss your preferred budget range. You can expect us to share honest feedback about what is realistic, along with suggestions for getting the most value from your investment. If you are combining a spa with a new pool or reworking an existing yard, we consider the full picture from the start.

Communication Throughout The Project

As the project moves into design and construction, we emphasize communication. Our team explains typical timelines for each phase and what factors may influence them, such as permitting schedules or inspections. While exact dates can shift due to these external steps, we keep you informed and let you know when key milestones are coming up.

We also understand that questions often arise during construction. You will know who to contact on our team, and we encourage you to reach out whenever you need clarification. After your spa is complete, we remain available to answer questions about living with your new outdoor space, so you feel supported beyond the final day on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it usually take to build a custom spa?

The timeline for building a custom spa typically spans several weeks to a few months, depending on the scope of the project. Factors that influence timing include design complexity, whether you are adding a pool or other outdoor features, local permitting schedules, and inspection availability. During design, we provide an estimated sequence of phases so you understand the general order of events. As we move through permitting and construction, we update you on progress and let you know when to expect major milestones like excavation, concrete, and finish work.

Can you design a spa for a smaller backyard?

Yes, we frequently design spas for compact yards and for spaces with unique shapes. Our team begins with a careful site evaluation to understand access, property lines, existing structures, and how you currently use the space. We then create scaled designs that make the most of the area you have, often by integrating seating, steps, and planters in ways that save room while still feeling comfortable. Even in smaller backyards, a well planned spa can become a strong focal point and a functional retreat without overwhelming the rest of the outdoor area.

What affects the cost of a custom spa project?

The cost of a custom spa is influenced by several key elements. Size and shape are important, since they affect excavation, concrete, and finish materials. Features such as raised walls, spillways, lighting, and integrated seating can also add to the overall investment. The finishes you choose, including tile, interior surface, and deck materials, have a large impact on both look and price. Site conditions, such as access for equipment or the need for retaining walls, may also play a role. During our planning conversations, we discuss these factors openly and work with you to align the design with your preferred budget.

How will your team help me choose the right spa design?

We guide you through design decisions step by step, starting with how you plan to use the spa. Our team asks about relaxation, hydrotherapy needs, entertaining, and how many people typically use the space at one time. Based on your answers, we suggest appropriate sizes, seating layouts, and features. We then translate those ideas into detailed 3D designs so you can see the shape, elevation changes, and relationship to your home and yard. During review meetings, we walk through options for finishes and features and adjust the plan until it matches your vision and comfort level.

Can you add a spa to my existing pool and patio?

In many cases, we can design a new spa that integrates with an existing pool and outdoor area. The first step is to evaluate the current layout, equipment, and structure to understand what can be tied into and what may need modification. We look at circulation routes, deck space, and visual balance so the new spa feels like a natural extension rather than an afterthought. When it is feasible, we match or thoughtfully complement your existing finishes to maintain a cohesive look. During design, we will talk through any structural or plumbing considerations that might affect the approach and outline solutions that fit your goals.

How do you handle permits and HOA approvals?

Our team prepares the detailed plans and documentation typically required for building permits, then submits them to the appropriate city departments on your behalf. The specific review path can vary based on your property and local regulations, and we keep you informed of key steps along the way. If your neighborhood has a homeowners association, we can provide the drawings and specifications you may need for their review, and we coordinate with you on any requested revisions. Our goal is to help you navigate these approvals with as little stress as possible, while keeping the design aligned with your original vision.

What will communication look like during my project?

You can expect clear and regular communication throughout your spa project. At the start, we explain the overall sequence of design, permitting, and construction so you know what to anticipate. During active phases of work, our team provides updates on progress and upcoming activities, and we let you know when access to certain parts of your yard will be needed. You will have a primary point of contact for questions, and we encourage you to reach out whenever something is unclear or you want to discuss a.detail. Our aim is for you to feel informed and confident from the first meeting through the final walkthrough.
