What We Deliver

Built to a Higher Standard

Permanent Gunite Shell

Built-in spas use the same gunite construction as our pools, not a prefab acrylic shell. Lasts indefinitely.

Spillover Waterfall Design

Raised spa with cascading water into the pool creates a visual centerpiece and audible resort ambiance.

Independent Heating

Heat the spa to 104°F without warming the entire pool. Engineered hydraulics make it seamless and efficient.

Standalone Spa Option

No pool required. A freestanding gunite spa with its own waterfall, lighting, and deck is a complete destination.

Custom Jet Layout

Jet count and placement designed for therapeutic coverage, not placed randomly. Commercial-grade heaters standard.

Perfectly Matched Finishes

Every detail, tile, coping, interior plaster, matches the adjacent pool for a unified resort aesthetic.

Round bubbling spa with mosaic tile and pool waterfall in Nashville backyard

No line items hidden behind upgrade packages. White-glove service from first consultation to final walkthrough, backed by 50+ years of experience and 6,000+ pools built across Middle Tennessee.

At Waterscapes Backyard Resorts, a spa is never a line item at the bottom of a pool quote. It is a design element that shapes the entire backyard experience, designed from the first sketch to work with the pool, the surrounding space, and the way you live outdoors.

Built to the Resort Standard

Built in Gunite. Built to Last.

Every spa uses the same gunite shell construction as our pools. Finish materials, coping profile, tile selections, and structural details match perfectly, not approximately.

Spillover Spa Design

A raised spa with a spillover waterfall into the adjacent pool becomes the visual centerpiece of the backyard. Water sound, evening light, and thermal luxury in one feature.

The Backyard Resort Philosophy

We bring the same exacting design process, in-house crews, and finish quality to every spa project, from the first concept sketch through the final owner walkthrough.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A connected spillover spa is one of the most popular features we design. We engineer the hydraulics so the spa and pool share a filtration system while maintaining the ability to heat the spa independently. The visual effect of water cascading from the spa into the pool adds tremendous aesthetic value.

A prefab hot tub is a mass-produced acrylic shell. A gunite spa is custom-built to match your exact backyard design, in shape, size, finish material, coping, and placement. Gunite spas last indefinitely, can be renovated like a pool, and are architecturally part of your outdoor space rather than sitting in it like furniture.

Jet count and placement, heater sizing, and blower configuration are all designed around your preferences and the spa's size. We typically specify commercial-grade heaters for rapid heat-up, and jet placement is laid out to deliver therapeutic coverage to the key muscle groups.

Absolutely. Standalone gunite spas are a beautiful and relatively compact investment. They can be designed with their own waterfall, seating niches, lighting, and surrounding deck, a complete destination in a modest footprint.
