My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Backyard Reno 2023

A boardwalk patio?

Another angle for the sauna.

Ideas for the sauna benches, which would overlook the spa and our house.
Q
Photo
We like this look
Q
Photo
The best board on rocks we could find here.
Q
Photo
we like the shower, but also showing how a boardwalk can be used to take from shower to spa/hottub in this case.
Q
Photo
We like the minimalist shower hardware, but we don't love the look around it nor the floor.
Q
Photo
We like the base of the shower, wood over rocks, simple. We don't necessarily need a stall, it probably won't fit. But this also shows how the hardware can come from the shed itself.
Q
Photo
We like the look of the boardwalk, but we don't intend to have any steps :-)
Q
Photo
Another boardwalk we like (but this is very long)
Q
Photo
Idea for a boardwalk, which could take us from the patio to the spa and then to the sauna.

Another angle
Q
Photo
Another swim spa we like, with boards and flush (we don't like the overall style though)
Q
Photo
A swimming pool, but we like the style (minus the fountains).
Q
Photo
We don't like this photo but we like how the spa is almost lower than the boards. And we like the boards.
Q
Photo
We like the look of this, even though it's elevated.
Q
Photo
Just to see how it would look sort of in the middle of the lawn. We don't like that it's too high, and we need a wider area around it.
But can you bring us those mountains???
Q
Photo
Some boardwalk-like structure around the swim spa. Not sure what's the best direction for the boards.
Q
Photo
This is an example of what we don't like. This is too high, it would be even weirder in the middle of the lawn.
Q
Photo
Another one that looks nice and flush, even though we don't like the steps.
Q
Photo
Just to show a boardwalk that is almost flush with the lawn (we like to keep the grass tall, so it's fine if the boardwalk is a bit higher). That could be an option for the path between patio, swim spa and sauna.
Q
Photo
This is just to show that area to access the engine. We think it would be good to have some 4ft on that side (and 3 ft for the other sides), and make it easy to open, because we will need access at least yearly.
On the other hand, this spa is a bit higher than what we would like.
Q
Photo
Just another angle of the other photo.
Q
Photo
This shows how a swim spa flush with the ground would look like (even though we don't like the colors of the boards and we will have grass around it).
