This Botanic Ridge family wanted to create the ultimate entertaining space on their elevated rear yard. With the backyard sitting substantially higher than the house and challenging silty clay soil conditions, the installation required precision planning to achieve their vision of a seamless pool and spa combination.
The Build
- Pool & Spa Combination: Grandeur with raised Nova spa
- Pool Size: 8.25 x 4m with strategic horizontal orientation and entry steps facing the house
- Spa Size: 2.2 x 1.8m with elegant spillway connection
- Colour: Horizon
- Access Solution: Single-day excavation using 60T crane with fly jib and Bobcat for the challenging clay conditions
- Site Advantage: Natural fall worked perfectly with the raised spa design
- Pool & Spa Equipment: Salt Chlorinator, Variable Speed Pump, Oasis Heat Pump X19, Gas Spa Heater with Blower and 6 Jets, Maytronics Dolphin DB1 cleaner, Sunlover pool cover, Spa Electrics LED lighting (3 pool + 1 spa)
The Outcome The elevated position and thoughtful orientation creates a spectacular entertaining hub that takes full advantage of the natural topography. The raised Nova spa with spillway becomes a stunning focal point, while the Horizon colour enhances the sense of space and light. The combination of heating systems for the pool & spa combination means year-round enjoyment, transforming what was once an underutilized elevated yard into the heart of family life.
