10 Secrets to Transforming Your Backyard Oasis into the Neighborhood Envy

Shh, don’t tell the neighbors! 

We have an exclusive guide to transforming your backyard into a stunning paradise. This not only boosts your home’s property value, but also creates the perfect spot for your friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors to enjoy! Whether you’re dreaming of a luxurious hot tub retreat, a refreshing swimming pool, or the innovative perks of an Endless Pool, we’ve got you covered for the ideal backyard oasis.

Here are our ten recommendations to enhance your backyard oasis.

Location, Location, Location

The first step in creating your backyard showstopper is selecting the ideal spot for your hot tub or pool. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure, privacy, and proximity to your home for easy access. 

Do you want your family and guests to be greeted by it the moment they emerge from the house? Or perhaps you want it a bit away, so they walk beside your garden or swing set to entice the kids? These depend on what your personal needs would be for your home dynamic but know there is no wrong answer when it comes to those two questions.

Design with Purpose

Create a master plan that jazzes up your backyard’s appearance and fits your lifestyle. This is a vital step in the long run. Whether you’re craving a chill-out zone or a party paradise, your creativity in the planning of this is essential.

We recommend creating a backyard oasis that is a hybrid of both entertainment value as well as a relaxation hub. Both your introverted and extroverted friends and family would be appreciative of that, and it would also give you as a homeowner ample choice to make in your design. Remember, all it takes is just grid paper and a pen!

Quality over Quantity

When it comes to hot tubs and pools, quality is key. That’s why at Sandollar we carry brands like Caldera, Hot Springs, Freeflow, Finnleo and Endless Pools, as well as Bioguard products. You should invest in reputable brands known for durability, efficiency, and advanced features to ensure your backyard addition stands the test of time.

If you’re looking for the best of the best for hot tubs to really evoke that sense of refined relaxation, we recommend the Highlife Vanguard by Hot Springs or the Utopia Tahitian by Caldera Spas.

Create a Seamless Integration

Blend your hot tub or pool seamlessly into your backyard landscape for a cohesive and harmonious look. Incorporate elements such as decking, landscaping, and lighting to create an inviting ambiance.

Choose natural materials like wood or stone for your decking to complement the surrounding environment. Integrate lush greenery and colorful flowers around the perimeter to soften the edges and add a touch of serenity. Strategically placed lighting can enhance the atmosphere, making your outdoor oasis a welcoming retreat both day and night. By harmonizing these elements, you can transform your hot tub or pool into a beautiful extension of your backyard space.

Techno-Takedown!

Take your backyard oasis to the next level with innovative features and technology. From LED lighting and water features to built-in speakers and automated controls, these additions will enhance your overall experience. Be sure to check out some of our showroom hot tubs at our store location, as a handful of them have the option of Bluetooth connectivity and surround sound speakers, so your music is all enveloping during your soak!

Prioritize Safety

Safety should always be a top priority when adding a hot tub, pool, or Endless Pool to your backyard. Install proper fencing, safety covers, and alarms to prevent accidents and ensure peace of mind for you and your family. Be sure to check with your town zoning laws on what the guidelines are for fencing and security systems. 

Make Maintenance Manageable

Keep your backyard oasis looking pristine with efficient maintenance practices. Invest in cleaning tools, schedule regular inspections in advance, and follow manufacturer guidelines for optimal performance and longevity.

Enhance Comfort and Luxury

Transform your backyard into a luxurious retreat by incorporating elements of comfort and indulgence. Add plush seating, cozy outdoor rugs, and stylish accessories to create a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment.
