How Nashville Designers Are Using Turf to Create Private Outdoor Spas

The summer has arrived in Nashville and, for the majority of Music City residents, being able to make the most of it starts with having a private outdoor space to call their own. Sometimes, though, that’s easier said than done; a backyard can often feel more like an extension of a workplace than somewhere to relax, and the amount of maintenance involved can leave little time left for actually sitting back and taking things easy. However, in recent years, we’ve seen more and more homeowners get increasingly imaginative when it comes to designing their own personal haven, with many using artificial turf outdoor installations to create private spas that require little in the way of work and look green and luxurious 12 months of the year. Here’s how…

What Does a Private Outdoor Spa Look Like?

The centerpiece of most outdoor spas is a hot tub or jacuzzi – the perfect place to soothe both the mind and body and often the main thing that’ll entice your family and friends back time and time again! As we’ll explore in more detail shortly, turf provides the ideal surface for nearby areas, providing comfort underfoot while greatly reducing the chances of any slips occurring. Tall fences or green walls (perhaps comprising turf) are usually included to provide a sense of privacy, with comfortable outdoor furniture nearby. Soft lighting can add to the calming vibe and, depending on your space and budget, it’s always worth thinking about one or two extras, like outdoor showers, heated flooring or scented gardens.

So, What Are Turf’s Main Plusses?

As said above, turf’s most significant selling point when it comes to complementing an outdoor hot tub or jacuzzi is its practicality. The cool, peaceful atmosphere you’re no doubt looking to establish can easily be ruined if there’s always a fear of slipping, but turf’s cushioned nature makes falls far less likely to happen, as well as providing a gentle landing if they ever do. Aesthetically, turf offers a soothing, natural appearance without the hassle of maintaining real grass.

The lack of maintenance is generally another of turf’s greatest advantages. It’ll retain its lush, green appearance all year round without any upkeep whatsoever; because it’s made up of entirely synthetic material, there isn’t any growth cycle to speak of, meaning you’ll never have to think about mowing, watering, or fertilizing to help your synthetic grass along. With no herbicides or pesticides required either, you’ll be enjoying a space free of any chemical intrusion, which can only augment the sense of being at one with yourself and nature.

How Else Can Turf Be Useful in The Design of Private Outdoor Spas?

Above all, turf allows you to do just about anything. However much room you’re working with and whatever the shape of your outdoor space, there’s a way of using turf – and as said above, it can even be deployed vertically, too. And whether your spa is located in a backyard, on a rooftop or on a patio, it doesn’t matter – turf’s incredible flexibility has you covered.

Furthermore, when the weather isn’t particularly conducive to you getting out and using your spa, you don’t need to worry about the surrounding turf taking a battering. Your turf features a proven drainage system and will be able to withstand remarkably well all kinds of conditions, as well as heavy foot traffic. On top of all of that, you won’t have to worry about grass clippings or bits of mud getting tracked into your hot tub or jacuzzi, because you’re never going to be dealing with any organic matter, your spa experience is guaranteed to be a whole lot cleaner with artificial turf.
