Your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas is meant to be a backyard getaway for peace and relaxation. If you’re worried about outside disruptions during your quiet time while soaking in your hot tub, consider adding some privacy options for your backyard.

Since April showers bring May flowers, now is a fantastic time to head over to your local garden center to pick out some shrubs, trees, or tall plants for your backyard. Plants have the wonderful quality of being able to provide us natural shade and privacy while adding exciting greenery to our backyard oasis.

If you’re not much for a green thumb, check out some low-maintenance plants. Some of our favorite low maintenance plant ideas include: bamboo, fig, and lavender. Speaking of lavender, did you know that lavender has stress reduction qualities? Lavender is known to have calming and relaxation benefits that have been used for treating insomnia and stress relief. By planting lavender near your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas, also enjoy the benefits of soothing aromatherapy while you’re relaxing your muscles in a hot water soak.

If you’re really not into the whole idea of gardening though, there are still several options for you! Some of our other privacy recommendations include privacy tents and outdoor curtains. Both options will help create some shade for your backyard, without requiring you to get down and dirty in a garden.

So, fear not for your at-home getaway! By simply adding some easy privacy solutions, you can increase the aesthetics of your backyard, adding privacy and reducing neighboring distractions.
