A Custom Spa is possibly the most requested design element for new pools. They can serve as an anchor for the entire pool design and are a fantastic way to bring movement, height, style and ambiance to the pool. We also love to use them as a vantage point for enjoying the best views of the house, the backyard or surrounding landscape. On top of all of that, they allow you to enjoy your backyard all year long!

Find Your Serenity, or Your Sense of Fun

When we design spas we often think of the serenity they bring. They force us to slow down, enjoy the moment, and take time out for ourselves. Whether watching the sun come up or soaking away the worries and stresses of the day, they help us to reset and just enjoy being alive. Maybe that sounds like a pretty lofty role to assign to what is essentially a fancy outdoor bathtub, but we find it is true for us and the majority of our customers.

But for every moment of peace and reflection to be enjoyed in a spa, there are a dozen more moments of laughter, chat and clinking glasses. The spa is a social magnet that transends seasons. From small weeknight gatherings to watch the game or catch up with family to the coveted spot in a hopping pool party- the custom spa is always the best seat in the house.
