As part of a full backyard makeover, these clients wanted a Bullfrog Spa set in an attractive setting. The idea was to create a hot tub haven — or idyllic backyard refuge. To do this, we sunk the hot tub halfway into the ground, and surrounded it with boulders and flowering plantings for a strong visual impact.

A very special part of this installation was the addition of a water feature. It consists of a “pondless” waterfall and stream, strategically placed so as to be viewed from both the main kitchen window as well as the hot tub.

One reason the clients chose a Bullfrog Spa for their hydro-therapeutic retreat was for its interchangeable massage jets/seats (JetPaks) that are as comfortable as they are soothing. Plus, setting the hot tub in between two levels of their beautiful new Techo-Bloc patio, we were able to position it near their back door, ensuring they can take advantage of its healthful waters year-round.

Installing their new Bullfrog Spa with a “set in garden” look also included a serene man-made stream with waterfalls that flow into a Aquascape Inc. “pondless” reservoir.

Because they have a Bullfrog Spa, the clients can choose which massage jet they want at any given moment. The JetPaks snap in and out in seconds to change the pressure points and massage different areas.

Spa Cover with Cover Lifter:

Long Island Hot Tub’s hot tub packages include a spa cover with a cover lifter. The lifter attachment makes the cover extremely easy to open and close. This means that hot tubbers are more likely to use their cover and protect their water from debris, particularly as the seasons change.

 

Pondless Stream with Waterfalls:

Pondless Stream with Waterfalls:

When installing a man-made stream with waterfalls, some of our clients — especially those with very young children or small pets —  prefer it to be “pondless.” Collecting the water is an Aquascape RainXchange reservoir leaving the water to seemingly disappear into the gravel instead of a pond. Totally below ground, this reservoir acts as a ‘green’ maintenance-free source for the water feature.

Long Island Hot Tub did this project in cooperation with The Deck and Patio Company of Huntington Station, NY.
