Custom spa construction in Sacramento
Spa construction for the way you unwind: inground spas on their own or beside a pool, across Greater Sacramento.
Recognized trust for every spa project
A spa that fits your yard and your routine
Spa construction in Sacramento starts with your yard. Some spas sit beside a pool, and others stand on their own against a patio.
The right spot depends on privacy, views, and the walk from the house. How often you plan to soak matters too. We help you decide where the spa belongs and how large it should be.
An inground spa is a concrete structure with its own plumbing, heating, and wiring. When those are right from the start, it heats faster, runs quieter, and holds up for years.
What gets planned before the build
Placement and orientation
Where the spa sits, and what you see from it.
Seating and depth
Benches, loungers, and steps shaped around the people using them.
Excavation and shell
The concrete structure that everything else depends on.
Plumbing, jets, and electrical
Systems sized correctly before any finish goes in.
Tile, coping, and finish
The surfaces that set the final look.
Heating and automation
Heat the spa and set its lights from your phone, so it is ready when you are.
A link to the pool
A spillover edge connects the spa to the pool with sound and movement.
Lighting
Interior and perimeter lights keep the spa inviting after dark.
Spa features you can add
Each one is planned with the spa, so it works from the first soak.
Spillover edges
Water moving from the spa to the pool adds sound and links the two spaces.
Custom jet layouts
Jets can target the back, shoulders, legs, or feet, depending on each seat.
Seating and entry steps
Seat height, bench depth, and steps are planned for the people who soak.
LED spa lighting
Lights inside the spa and around it keep it usable after dark.
Fire features
Fire bowls or a nearby fire pit add warmth on cool Sacramento Valley evenings.
Custom tile and stonework
The spa finish can match your pool, your decking, or the house.

Tiffany Cardinet
I am beyond thrilled that I chose Wells Pools. They build a quality product and not a simple cookie cutter pool. Andrew was involved throughout the process, kept me updated throughout the process. I had specific ideas for the design and along with Andrew’s expertise, was able to implement all of them. All my friends cannot believe the transformation of my Backyard. It’s a piece of art!

This is the first pool build for us and we found Andrew to have the patience of a saint, answering all of our questions.
All of the crews for each step of this pool build provided excellent, skilled craftsmanship, were consistent with service delivery, reliable and were hard workers.
This has been a 12 star experience us from start to finish.

Spa construction questions
How long does spa construction take?
A standalone inground spa usually moves faster than a full pool build, because the dig and shell are smaller. Permits, yard access, weather, and finish choices still affect the schedule. We confirm the timeline after the site review.
Can I build a spa without a pool?
Yes. A standalone inground spa suits smaller yards. It also suits homeowners who want warm water all year without a full pool project.
Can a spa be connected to an existing pool?
Often, yes. It depends on the existing plumbing, equipment, decking, and structure around the pool. A site visit is the best way to confirm what your setup allows.
What is the difference between an inground spa and a portable hot tub?
An inground spa is a permanent concrete structure. It can be shaped, finished, and placed however you want, and it can share equipment and style with a pool. A portable hot tub is a prefabricated unit with fixed sizes and few custom options.
What determines the cost of spa construction?
Size, depth, seating, jet count, site access, materials, heating, and spillover details all shape the budget. Decking or outdoor living work around the spa adds to it. Custom shapes and premium finishes cost more, while a simple standalone spa keeps the project leaner.
Can I see spas Wells Pools has built?
Yes. This raised spa and pool in Sacramento is one example. Our project pages show more spas across Greater Sacramento.
