Bringing a hot tub into your outdoor space is more than a home upgrade; it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Whether you’re envisioning a peaceful corner to unwind after long days or a stylish entertainment spot for friends and family, a Strong Spas unit is one of the most versatile ways to transform your backyard, patio, or deck.
Our Grove Pools team helps homeowners design hot tub spaces that feel intentional, beautiful, and built to last. From choosing the right Strong Spas model to planning the layout, electrical needs, privacy features, and weather-ready finishes, we ensure your new spa fits seamlessly into your home’s design and daily routine.
Whether your goal is modern minimalism, a cozy retreat, or a show-stopping entertainment hub, we’ll guide you through smart design ideas that maximize comfort, safety, and visual appeal, so your hot tub becomes the highlight of your outdoor living space.
How to Plan Your Hot Tub Design
Start With Your Space
Begin by taking a close look at the area where your hot tub will live. Measure your patio, deck, or backyard to determine what size and shape will fit comfortably without crowding the space.
Compact Strong Spas models work beautifully on smaller patios, while larger spas can become a statement feature in expansive outdoor areas.
To make things easier, Grove Pools provides on-site evaluations and layout guidance, ensuring your chosen spa fits perfectly and feels intentional within your space.
Design for Comfort and Privacy
Placement matters. Position your hot tub close to your home if you want easy, year-round access, or tuck it into a cozy corner surrounded by shrubs, screens, or pergolas for a more secluded, spa-like atmosphere.
Adding built-in benches, privacy panels, or soft landscaping can help create a peaceful retreat that blends naturally with your outdoor environment.
Prioritize Access and Safety
A thoughtful design includes safe, convenient pathways and lighting. Slip-resistant surfaces, step lighting, and clear walkways make your spa easier and safer to enjoy—day or night, rain or shine.
Grove Pools also recommends sturdy steps and handrails to support comfortable entry and exit, especially for households with children, older adults, or mobility considerations.
Match Your Lifestyle
Choose spa features that elevate your daily routine. Strong Spas offers energy-efficient systems, therapeutic jet options, ergonomic seating, and durable covers designed for all seasons.
Whether you want a post-workout recovery station or a relaxation hub for quiet evenings, you can customize your spa experience to fit your lifestyle.

Creative Hot Tub Design Ideas
- Create a Corner Oasis: Transform an unused garden corner into a peaceful sanctuary by pairing your Strong Spa with flowering shrubs, tall grasses, or decorative screens. This tucked-away approach offers natural privacy and a sense of calm, perfect for evening unwinds.
- Integrate Your Spa Into a Deck: For a seamless, built-in look, position your hot tub within a raised deck. Add steps, planters, and soft string lighting to create a warm, social space ideal for gatherings. Deck integrations also make entering and exiting the spa feel effortless and elegant.
- Smart Solutions for Small Spaces: Townhouse patios, compact yards, and even rooftop terraces can become incredible spa retreats with the right planning. Grove Pools specializes in maximizing tight spaces, helping you choose compact Strong Spas models, optimize footpaths, and design layouts that feel open, balanced, and functional.
- Blend Sun and Shade Thoughtfully: Enhance comfort year-round by incorporating pergolas, retractable awnings, or privacy canopies. These features provide shade during hot afternoons, shelter during light rain, and a cozy ambience at night.
