Pool and Spa Combos: Charlotte's Most Popular Pool Feature
If there's one feature Charlotte homeowners ask about more than anything else, it's the spa. A raised spa that spills into the main pool isn't just beautiful — it extends your pool season, adds a social focal point, and significantly increases your property value.

At Blue Waters Construction, pool and spa combos typically start around $95,000. That includes:
- Custom gunite pool
- Integrated raised or flush spa
- Spillover from spa to pool
- LED lighting in both pool and spa
- Standard equipment (heater, pump, filter, automation)
- Concrete or paver decking
- All permits and inspections
Raised vs. Flush Spa
Raised Spa (Most Popular)
The spa sits above the pool level, with water cascading over a spillway into the pool below. Creates a visual centerpiece and allows the spa to heat independently.Flush Spa
The spa is at the same level as the pool, separated by a dividing wall or bench. Seamless look, easy to move between pool and spa.Why Add a Spa?
Year-Round Use
Charlotte winters are mild but too cool for swimming. A heated spa stays comfortable year-round — November through February are actually the best spa months.Entertaining
Nothing brings people together like a warm spa on a cool evening. It becomes the social center of your outdoor space.Resale Value
