Title: Looking for ideas
Post by: blakley33 on March 27, 2006, 02:15:40 pm

I am expecting delivery of my new spa in 2-3 weeks and I am trying to get some ideas for a patio around my spa. I am thinking about pavers, flagstone, or possibly the stamped concrete. I was just curious if anyone had any pics of their own patios around their tubs that could help give me some ideas.
Thank you very much for all input, it is very helpful.

We used pavers for our hot-tub and patio.  Here are some pictures.  Good luck with yours.

Many spa makers have patio ideas on their web sites. Here's one:

I also find that the "Installation Ideas" on various tub maker's web sites offer ideas.

Cappy did a great job and if I remember, Bosco did too. I think there are a few people here that have some nice brick/concrete work.


I can't help noticing stuff like that ... I'm Italian! LOL ;D

Ha that's funny, Vinny! My sister is having a retaining wall put up around her new inground pool and I said to her today, you have to be sure to get a good bricklayer! (our father was a bricklayer )She said no worry, the brick guy's name is Vinny!!  Case closed! ;D
