The problem is that the neighborhood association won't allow us to put a trellis or anything else on top of the fencing, so going lower seemed like a possible solution. There would no be any decking under the hot tub - just around it.
I know of someone that did do just that. He inset a tub into the ground about 26". ....the cost was a cool $6,500 for this part alone...
