Built-In Spas That Work Year-Round

If you're planning a new pool in Lakeland or updating an existing one, adding a spa means building it directly into the pool structure so the plumbing, heating, and finish all match. Florida Aquascapes designs spas that share equipment with your pool or operate independently, depending on how you plan to use them. You'll see options like spillover edges where water flows from the spa into the pool, or raised spas that sit above the waterline and create a focal point in your backyard.

The plumbing and heating are coordinated from the start, so the spa heats quickly and maintains temperature without requiring separate systems unless you prefer that setup. In Lakeland, where evenings stay warm most of the year, a built-in spa extends how often you use your pool area. The design matches your pool's tile, coping, and interior finish so everything looks like it was built together.

What Goes Into Building a Spa Alongside Your Pool?

You'll work with Florida Aquascapes to choose the spa's placement, shape, and whether it sits level with the pool or raised above it. In Lakeland, raised spas are common because they create a waterfall effect when the spillover runs into the pool. The plumbing lines are run during excavation so the spa and pool share filtration or use separate loops depending on your preference.

Once the spa is finished, you'll notice it heats faster than the main pool and holds temperature longer because of its smaller volume. The jets, seating depth, and tile work are all customized to match the rest of your pool. You'll have one control system if you choose automation, or separate valves if you want manual control over water flow and heating.

The spa's finish and coping are selected to match your pool deck and interior surface. If you're using pavers or travertine around the pool, the spa edge follows the same material and color. This keeps the entire installation looking unified and ensures the surfaces around the spa are slip-resistant and durable under Florida's weather conditions.

Homeowners in Lakeland ask about heating costs, layout options, and whether a spa affects the pool's circulation. These questions help clarify what works for your yard and how the systems connect.

Florida Aquascapes builds spas that match your pool's layout and work within your existing equipment setup or with new dedicated systems.
