CLIENT REVIEWS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
JT Masonary and landscaping were exceptional right from the first point of contact to the completion of their work. The owner JUSTIN was very professional in the way he presented the work he was going to do. The workers were polite, efficient, and hard-working. And the results of their work was phenomenal! We are already considering them for another job. Thank you JUSTIN and Company.
We had a great experience with Justin and the crew at JT Masonry & Landscaping. We got a inground pool and pavers installed. They made it easy every step of the way from the planning stage to our first pool opening. We would definitely recommend this company to family and friends.
What Sets a Custom Inground Spa Apart from a Standard Hot Tub
Most homeowners start by comparing an inground spa to the inflatable or above-ground hot tubs they see at retail stores. The difference is substantial — and it goes far beyond appearance.
A custom inground spa is a permanent structure, built directly into the ground using the same durable construction methods used in high-end swimming pools. That means gunite concrete, natural stone tile, and precision plumbing — not a plastic shell sitting on a deck. The result is a hydrotherapy experience that looks intentional, performs better, and lasts for decades rather than a handful of seasons.
When you invest in inground spa services through JT Masonry, the installation is tailored entirely to your property and preferences. Shape, depth, seating configuration, jet placement, water features, lighting — every detail is designed around how you want to use the space. We begin each project with a personal consultation and offer 3D imaging so you can visualize the finished spa before any ground is broken.

Inground Hot Tub and Jacuzzi Options Built for Long Island Properties
Long Island backyards come in every shape and size, and so do the inground hot tub and jacuzzi designs we build. Whether your outdoor space is compact or sprawling, the layout is always customized to work with your specific lot, existing hardscape, and long-term vision.
Here are the most common configurations Long Island homeowners choose:
- Standalone Inground Spa — A dedicated soaking area built as its own feature, often surrounded by custom stonework, pavers, or a raised patio. Ideal for homeowners who want a private relaxation space without committing to a full pool project.
- Spillover Spa Integrated with a Pool — The spa is elevated and connected to the swimming pool, with heated water cascading over a decorative edge into the pool below. This creates a dramatic visual centerpiece and allows both features to share filtration and heating systems.
- Spa with Surrounding Outdoor Living Features — Many clients pair their inground jacuzzi with fire pits, outdoor kitchens, or water features to create a complete backyard destination. JT Masonry specializes in building these elements together as a cohesive design.
- Gunite Custom Builds — Gunite (sprayed concrete) allows for fully custom shapes and depths, built-in rock features, natural stone finishes, and advanced jet configurations that prefabricated shells simply cannot match.
Every installation includes professional plumbing, electrical coordination, and expert masonry finishing — the same level of craftsmanship that has made JT Masonry a recognized name in Long Island pool and hardscape construction.
The Real Benefits of an Inground Spa — Beyond Relaxation
An inground spa is often thought of as a luxury, and it is — but the practical benefits extend much further than a relaxing soak after a long day.
Year-Round Usability. Unlike a swimming pool that sits idle for months in the colder seasons, a heated inground spa is usable 365 days a year. Long Island homeowners get dramatically more value from an outdoor feature they can enjoy in January just as easily as July.
Increased Property Value. A well-built inground spa, especially one integrated with quality masonry and hardscaping, adds measurable value to your home. It signals to future buyers that the outdoor space was professionally designed and built to last.
Improved Daily Wellness. Warm water immersion and targeted hydrotherapy jets can help ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery from physical activity. For homeowners who deal with chronic stiffness, joint discomfort, or high-stress routines, a dedicated spa at home offers consistent, on-demand relief without a trip to a facility.
Quality Time Without Leaving Home. Whether it's a quiet evening alone, a weekend with family, or hosting friends around a beautifully designed backyard, an inground spa creates a gathering space people are genuinely drawn to.
How JT Masonry Builds Your Inground Spa — From Design to Finish
Choosing the right contractor for an inground spa installation is one of the most important decisions in the process. The build involves excavation, structural engineering, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, and expert-level masonry finishing — all of which need to be executed correctly the first time.
Here is what the process looks like when you work with JT Masonry & Landscaping:
1. Personal Consultation & Site Evaluation. Every project starts with an on-site meeting where we discuss your goals, assess the property, and review your options. We take into account Long Island soil conditions, local building codes, drainage patterns, and your existing outdoor layout.
2. Custom Design & 3D Visualization. Before any construction begins, you see a detailed rendering of your inground spa design. This allows you to adjust dimensions, materials, seating placement, and surrounding features so the final result matches your expectations exactly.
3. Excavation & Structural Build. Our crew handles all excavation and constructs the spa shell using reinforced gunite concrete — the same material used in commercial and high-end residential pool construction. This provides unmatched durability and complete design flexibility.
4. Plumbing, Jets & Equipment Installation. All hydrotherapy jets, filtration systems, heaters, and plumbing are professionally installed and tested. We can incorporate modern water management systems, including saltwater or mineral filtration options that reduce reliance on traditional chlorine.
5. Masonry Finishing & Hardscape Integration. This is where JT Masonry's expertise truly stands apart. The spa is finished with premium stone, tile, or coping materials that match or complement your surrounding patio, pool deck, or outdoor living space. The result looks like it was always part of the property — because it was designed that way from the start.
6. Final Walkthrough & Handoff. We walk you through the completed installation, review equipment operation and maintenance basics, and make sure every detail meets your standards before considering the job complete.

How Much Does It Cost for an Inground Spa?
The cost of an inground spa depends on a number of factors specific to your project, including the size of the spa, the materials selected, the complexity of the design, whether it will be a standalone build or integrated with an existing or new pool, and the condition of the site where construction will take place.
Gunite (concrete) inground spas tend to cost more than prefabricated fiberglass or vinyl-liner options, but they offer complete design flexibility, superior durability, and a higher-end finished appearance that adds long-term value to your property. Additional features like custom stonework, waterfalls, specialty lighting, built-in seating configurations, and advanced filtration systems will also influence the overall investment.
Because every property and vision is different, the most accurate way to understand pricing is through a personalized estimate. JT Masonry & Landscaping provides free, no-obligation estimates for all inground spa projects across Long Island. During the consultation, we review your goals, assess the site, and provide transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision with no surprises.
Is a Hot Tub Good for Neuropathy?
Many people living with neuropathy — a condition characterized by nerve damage that causes tingling, numbness, or pain, often in the hands and feet — find that warm water immersion provides meaningful relief. Soaking in an inground hot tub allows the body to benefit from consistent, evenly distributed heat, which can help improve blood flow to affected areas and temporarily ease the discomfort associated with peripheral neuropathy symptoms.
The buoyancy of water also reduces pressure on sensitive joints and extremities, creating a low-impact environment where the body can relax without the strain of supporting its full weight. Hydrotherapy jets provide gentle, targeted massage that may further promote circulation and soothe nerve-related tension.
While a hot tub is not a medical treatment or cure for neuropathy, many individuals incorporate regular warm water soaking as a complementary part of their wellness routine. Having an inground spa at home makes it easy to access that relief consistently and conveniently, without scheduling appointments or traveling to a facility. If you have a medical condition, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new hydrotherapy routine.
Do Hot Tubs Help with Lymphatic Drainage?
The lymphatic system relies on movement and muscle contraction to circulate lymph fluid throughout the body, as it does not have its own pump the way the cardiovascular system does. Warm water immersion in an inground hot tub can support this process in a few key ways.
First, the heat from the water promotes vasodilation — the widening of blood vessels — which can improve overall circulation and encourage the movement of lymph fluid. Second, the hydrostatic pressure of the water itself applies gentle, even compression across the body, which may assist in pushing lymph fluid through its natural pathways. Third, the massage action from hydrotherapy jets stimulates muscle tissue and soft tissue areas, further encouraging fluid movement and reducing the sensation of swelling or puffiness.
For homeowners who deal with fluid retention, post-exercise soreness, or general sluggishness, a regular soak in an inground spa can serve as a simple and enjoyable part of a broader wellness routine. Combined with proper hydration and physical activity, warm water hydrotherapy is widely regarded as a supportive tool for maintaining healthy lymphatic function.
Do Hot Tubs Reduce Cortisol?
Cortisol, commonly known as the body's primary stress hormone, plays an important role in regulating your response to physical and emotional stress. When cortisol levels remain elevated over long periods, the effects can include disrupted sleep, muscle tension, mood changes, and general fatigue.
Research into warm water immersion suggests that spending time in a hot tub can help lower cortisol levels by activating the body's parasympathetic nervous system — the "rest and digest" response that counteracts the fight-or-flight state. The combination of warm water, buoyancy, and gentle jet massage creates an environment where the body naturally begins to relax, heart rate slows, and stress hormone production decreases.
For Long Island homeowners managing demanding schedules, an inground spa at home provides a consistent, accessible way to decompress without needing to carve out time for a spa appointment or getaway. Even 15 to 20 minutes of soaking in the evening can help signal to the body that it is time to transition from the activity of the day into rest — improving both the quality of relaxation and the quality of sleep that follows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between an inground spa and a regular hot tub?
A regular hot tub is typically a prefabricated, self-contained unit that sits on top of a deck or patio surface. It is manufactured in standard shapes and sizes, and while it can be a convenient option, it is limited in terms of customization, longevity, and visual integration with your outdoor space. An inground spa, by contrast, is a permanent structure built directly into the ground using the same construction methods and materials used in high-end swimming pools. Gunite concrete, natural stone finishes, custom tile work, and precision-placed hydrotherapy jets allow an inground spa to be designed to the exact shape, depth, and aesthetic you want. Because it is constructed as part of your property's hardscape, an inground spa blends seamlessly with surrounding patios, pool decks, and outdoor living features, creating a cohesive and polished look that a portable unit cannot achieve. The structural integrity of a professionally built inground spa also means it will perform reliably for decades with proper maintenance, making it a long-term investment in both your property and your lifestyle.
How long does it take to build an inground spa?
The timeline for an inground spa installation depends on the scope and complexity of the project. A standalone spa with a straightforward design and favorable site conditions can often be completed in a matter of weeks, while more elaborate builds — particularly those integrated with a new or existing swimming pool, surrounding stonework, fire features, or outdoor kitchens — may take longer to ensure every element is constructed and finished correctly. Factors like permitting timelines, weather conditions, and material lead times also play a role. At JT Masonry, we provide a clear project timeline during the consultation phase and maintain direct communication with you throughout the build so you always know where things stand. Our goal is to complete every project efficiently without ever cutting corners on quality or craftsmanship.
Can an inground spa be added to an existing pool?
Yes, in many cases an inground spa can be added to a property that already has a swimming pool. One of the most popular configurations is a spillover spa, where the spa is built at a raised elevation adjacent to the pool, with heated water flowing over a decorative edge into the pool below. This creates a visually striking water feature while allowing both the pool and spa to share heating and filtration equipment, which can improve energy efficiency. The feasibility of adding a spa to an existing pool depends on the current pool's design, the available space, and the condition of the surrounding hardscape and plumbing infrastructure. JT Masonry evaluates all of these factors during the initial site consultation and designs the addition to complement the existing structure as naturally as possible.
What kind of maintenance does an inground spa require?
Maintaining an inground spa is similar to maintaining a swimming pool, though on a smaller and more manageable scale. Regular tasks include monitoring and adjusting water chemistry, cleaning the filter, and periodically inspecting jets and equipment to ensure everything is operating properly. Modern water management systems — including saltwater and mineral-based filtration options — can significantly reduce the amount of chemical maintenance required compared to traditional chlorine systems. The spa's surface materials, such as stone or tile, are built to withstand constant water exposure and temperature changes, but periodic cleaning helps keep finishes looking their best over time. During the project handoff, JT Masonry walks you through the maintenance basics specific to your installation so you feel confident caring for your new spa from day one.
Is an inground spa usable during the winter on Long Island?
Absolutely. One of the most significant advantages of a heated inground spa is that it is designed for year-round use, regardless of the season. While Long Island winters bring cold temperatures and freeze-thaw cycles, a properly constructed and insulated inground spa with a quality heating system maintains comfortable water temperatures even in the coldest months. In fact, many homeowners find that winter is when they use their spa the most — there is something uniquely enjoyable about soaking in warm water on a cold evening. The key is ensuring the spa is built with Long Island's climate in mind, including proper insulation, efficient heating equipment, and durable materials that can handle temperature fluctuations without cracking or deteriorating. JT Masonry's deep familiarity with local weather conditions and construction requirements means your spa is engineered to perform beautifully all year long.
