Spa, Cedar Pavilion & Fire-and-Water Feature Build in Southlake, TX

What we did

1. 1. Excavated and formed the spa shell and set steel for the raised beam
2. 2. Sprayed gunite and plumbed the spa, jets, and sheer-descent waterfall
3. 3. Set stained cedar pergola posts on concrete piers before the deck pour
4. 4. Built the stacked-stone water wall with a cast-stone cap and gas fire feature
5. 5. Clad the spa walls and seat walls in chopped limestone with cut-stone caps
6. 6. Formed, tied, and poured the broom-finish concrete patio around the spa
7. 7. Framed and stained the cedar pergola with ceiling fan and string lighting
8. 8. Set decorative gravel beds, planters, and landscape lighting, then started up the spa

Results

• • Standalone spa that works as the backyard centerpiece instead of an add-on
• • Fire and water in one feature for year-round use, day or night
• • Cedar pergola gives shade over the spa and the dining area
• • Stone walls hold the grade and double as seating around the patio
• • Whole space reads as one build with the house, not a series of projects

“The fire on top of the waterfall is the first thing everyone notices. We use the spa year round now.”
