What is it that really makes landscaping around the area of a hot tub so different from everyday landscaping? The hot tub may be raised, and you could just add a bed of mulch, but that will make the area of your hot tub look just as cheap as the cost of your landscaping will be.

Ideas for landscaping around hot tubs don’t have to be complicated to look nice. The first option is to simply purchase some nice looking planters or pots and some of your favorite shrubs and flowers to surround the hot tub. I like to take two larger pots and place one on each side of the steps. Then I plant two narrow finely manicured trees that will never grow out of the pot or become too tall. This frames the entrance to your hot tub making it inviting and beautiful.

When designing your oasis, find the ideal area for your hot tub. You will want easy access and probably a view and privacy. Adding a pathway with lights will make it easier to use at night and for cold weather locate it near the house.

Seclusion can be a real plus in your hot tub landscaping design. A fence or wall, a gazebo or tall dense plants can provide privacy. To also add protection from weather, an enclosure with a roof will help keep out rain and hot sun. Be sure to consider how the seasons will affect your view and privacy when using trees or plants as an enclosure. And avoid placing large plants near the hot tub so as not to add to the cleaning.

When it comes to the area around your hot tub, it’s important to have landscaping ideas for privacy. One way to landscape around your hot tub, with privacy in mind, is a screened in gazebo. A gazebo will help to make the hot tub the focal point of your backyard, while allowing you to comfortably use your hot tub in rainy weather. To make it look nice, you can add a couple of simple planter boxes around the outside of the gazebo. If you’re not a gardener, you could choose to plant some low maintenance silk flowers instead.

There are just too many ideas for landscaping around hot tubs to list them all. I will now focus on an Asian backyard hot tub. Assembling a pergola will give you both shade and sun while creating an Asian inspired hot tub. It is also nice to place some permanent cedar planter boxes around the hot tub and plant some colorful flowers and trees that will grow well in your local climate. This will also create a permanent feel to the hot tub, almost as if it’s build in.

The best kind of landscaped hot tub includes both an in ground hot tub and an in ground swimming pool. A small tropical jungle adds to the beauty of the hot tub and pool area. To create this, start by setting out attractive flowerpots in two groups of 3 (odd numbers are better-looking). To create a terraced look, try using three different sizes in each group. Finish creating a tropical look by filling the pots with hibiscus flowers, a miniature palm bush, and some naturally-flowing ivy.

There are so many ideas for landscaping around hot tubs that this only touches on the many possibilities. However whenever landscaping around a hot tub you must remember to still allow for the drain of the hot tub to be open. You wouldn’t want to flood all your lovely landscaping while refilling the hot tub. Remember that you can be as creative as you want. Make it your own backyard oasis.
