This Harrington Park spa deck gives the homeowners a private outdoor retreat built around a raised spa in what was previously an open, exposed backyard. Privacy was the main priority, and the finished deck delivers it through height, screening and layout rather than treating the spa as an afterthought sitting in the open.
The tiered composite deck steps up from the main entertaining area to the spa itself, built in Trex Tropicals decking in Island Mist with integrated Trex deck lights lining each stair riser. Extra high bamboo screening runs along the boundary fences to block sightlines from neighbouring properties, paired with layered garden lighting and planting that softens the screening and gives the space a finished, established feel. Two shaded cabana lounges sit alongside a large umbrella over the spa itself, extending the private retreat beyond just the water.
The completed backyard gives the family a genuinely secluded space to use daily, with the spa deck now the focal point rather than an exposed feature. A homeowner facing similar privacy concerns can expect the same approach: A tiered deck, well-placed screening, and lighting that makes the space just as usable after dark as it is during the day.
