BUFORD, GA — As North Georgia enters the home improvement season, spa moving company, Platinum Hot Tub Movers is encouraging local homeowners to reconsider their current hot tub placements with the release of a timely blog post: “These 3 Spring Spa Moves Could Change the Way You Use Your Backyard Forever.” The article, now live on the company’s official website, helps homeowners understand the design and functional benefits of hot tub relocation, right before spring landscaping plans go into full swing.
Spring Timing Aligns with Backyard Renovation Season
In Buford and nearby areas, March is widely considered an ideal time for outdoor upgrades. From patio expansions and fresh garden beds to fence installations and deck builds, homeowners across Hall and Gwinnett Counties are setting the stage for the warmer months. Platinum Hot Tub Movers’ latest post explains how strategic spa relocation can enhance those projects rather than interfere with them. Factors like sunlight exposure, privacy, drainage, and proximity to the house are just a few of the elements covered in the company’s expert guidance.
Design and Lifestyle Integration—Not Just Logistics
The post goes beyond the mechanics of moving a spa and offers tangible layout advice for three common homeowner profiles:
The Entertainer’s Setup
Those who host spring cookouts or social gatherings may benefit from positioning their spa near outdoor dining areas or fire pits. The company recommends surrounding the tub with durable decking and adding subtle lighting features for safe, stylish nighttime use.
The Relaxation Nook
For homeowners in neighborhoods like Bogan Meadows or near Lake Lanier who value tranquility, secluded placement with natural barriers such as bamboo, lattice fencing, or privacy shrubs can create a serene escape, even just steps from the back door.
The Utility-First Approach
Homeowners prioritizing convenience are guided toward placements closer to primary entry points, such as a master bedroom slider or kitchen access. Recommendations include integrating covered storage, towel hooks, and basic rain protection structures.
Common Mistakes and Local Code Compliance
The guide also outlines common planning pitfalls, including proximity to trees, inadequate drainage, and lack of reinforced spa bases—issues that are especially prevalent in hilly Buford lots or properties near flood-prone areas like Ivy Creek. It also references applicable safety standards, noting that spas must be installed in accordance with the International Code Council’s Residential Code. Electrical disconnects must be visible and a minimum of five feet from the inside spa wall—something often overlooked by homeowners and general contractors alike.
How Spa Moving Experts Simplify the Process
Unlike general landscaping or hauling crews, Platinum Hot Tub Movers specializes in the intricacies of spa handling. The spa moving company Buford residents trust, brings over a decade of experience navigating tight property lines, uneven terrain, and limited access common to older developments and lake-adjacent homes. Each move begins with a property walkthrough to assess the route, measure clearances, and plan the safest placement. Services include lifting, disassembly when needed, and consultation on positioning relative to sun, privacy, slope, and service access.
Recent projects in subdivisions like Hamilton Mill and Lanier Springs have included moves from shaded corners to sunny decks, elevated placements with reinforced platforms, and side-yard shifts for better nighttime access.
Guidance for Homeowners Working With Contractors This Spring
The blog also provides practical instructions for those coordinating spring work with landscapers, patio builders, or pool contractors. Readers are advised to define the hot tub location before pouring concrete or installing permanent features. Steps like staking the new placement, confirming electrical access, and allowing space for equipment access are all covered. Platinum Hot Tub Movers suggests that even if a landscaping project hasn’t begun, moving the spa in March opens up design possibilities and reduces long-term complications.
