If you’ve decided to get yourself a hot tub in Fort Collins, congratulations! You’re making a great investment into your comfort, enjoyment, and relaxation. Now, however, you may be considering how you’ll incorporate your new hot tub into your backyard design. In Fort Collins, backyard sizes, styles, and designs vary widely, but there are some great ways to incorporate a hot tub into just about any backyard!
Paths and Walkways
First, you want to be sure that it’s easy to get to and from your hot tub! Incorporating a pathway in your yard to make it easier to access your hot tub is a good idea. Not only will it help with easy accessibility but a pathway or walkway will lead the eye to your hot tub, making it a central design piece of your yard!
Plant Around The Hot Tub
Making the area around your hot tub cozy and beautiful will not only help you incorporate it into your backyard design easier, but it will also add a finished touch to your hot tub. What you choose to plant near your hot tub should depend on the plants you already have in your yard, but if you’re looking for a pop of color, try hardy flowering perennial plants. Otherwise, you can add a touch of green with small shrubs or bushes, just make sure they don’t attract pests like wasps or flies.
Put it Below Your Balcony
If you have a multi-level home with a balcony or raised deck, a great place to incorporate your hot tub is beneath that structure! This kind of structure and layout can be a conveniently built-in privacy screen, or it can help to protect your hot tub from the elements, so it’s a great place to set up your tub, if possible! One of the best reasons to place your hot tub below a balcony or deck is to make your hot tub experience relaxing and comfortable. With some protection from the elements and a potentially darker area (if your deck blocks some light), your hot tub soaks will be more relaxing and soothing than in a bright, unprotected area.
Lights and Ambiance
Of course, if you prefer to soak in your hot tub once the hot Fort Collins sun has set, you’ll want to set up at least a little bit of lighting to ensure safety and accessibility. Try setting up tiki lights that also repel pests like mosquitos and other bugs, or hang up string lights around your hot tub. Create a relaxing, welcoming ambiance with soft, yellow lights instead of bright, white lights to best enjoy your hot tub!
