• Sauna: Uses dry heat from wood, electric stoves, or infrared panels. Temperatures range from 70°C to 100°C.

• Steam room: Uses moist heat with 100% humidity, typically at lower temperatures (around 45°C).
  Both promote relaxation, detoxification, and circulation, but the sensation and structure differ.

Yes. Outdoor installations are popular across the country. We use weather-resistant materials and ensure the unit is protected from sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Custom-built enclosures and pergolas are also available for added shelter.

Timelines vary depending on complexity:

• Pre-fabricated hot tubs: 1–3 days

• Built-in or recessed hot tubs: 3–7 days

• Saunas (pre-built kits): 3–5 days

• Custom sauna rooms: 7–10 days

Most saunas and hot tubs require a dedicated power line, especially for electric heating elements or jet systems. We’ll coordinate with a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance with South African standards.

• Traditional saunas heat the air and use steam or dry heat, often reaching higher temperatures.

• Infrared saunas use radiant heat to warm the body directly and typically run at lower, more comfortable temps (45°C–60°C).
  Infrared units are more energy-efficient and often preferred for indoor use.

Yes. Like pools, hot tubs require regular chemical balancing to stay clean and safe. We’ll provide maintenance instructions and can recommend automatic sanitation systems like ozone or UV purification.

Absolutely. We’ll assess the structural integrity and either reinforce the area or recess the hot tub partially or fully into the decking. We can also build custom seating, steps, and trim to integrate it seamlessly.

Yes. We regularly install hot tubs and saunas in hospitality settings. We’ll advise on models designed for high usage and provide guidance on cleaning and maintenance protocols to meet guest expectations.

Yes. Both are considered high-end amenities and are especially attractive in luxury homes, eco-retreats, wellness estates, and short-term rentals. They can significantly improve your property’s appeal and resale potential.

Yes. Many water features are designed to be retrofitted into existing swimming pools — such as blade waterfalls, bubblers, and jets. We’ll assess your pool’s layout and plumbing to determine what’s feasible.

Among our South African clients, the most requested features include:

• Stainless steel blade waterfalls (modern and clean)

• Rock cascades (natural aesthetic for garden pools and lodges)

• LED-lit water curtains (ideal for evening ambience)

• Deck jets and bubblers (playful features for families)

• Wall fountains and textured water walls (for minimalist, architectural appeal)

This depends on the type and complexity of the design. Some features, like wall-mounted fountains, require less than a metre of space, while rock waterfalls or spillover spas may need several square metres. We offer solutions for small courtyards, narrow pool edges, or large garden zones.

Not at all. Most modern water features are low maintenance and designed with built-in filtration and timers. Here’s what typical care involves:

• Weekly: Check pump operation and water level

• Monthly: Rinse filters and wipe down nozzles or spouts

• Seasonally: Flush system and inspect lighting or cladding

We’ll provide maintenance guidelines tailored to your specific installation.

You can customise your water feature with:

• Natural stone or slate

• Polished concrete or terrazzo

• Textured cladding panels

• Glass mosaic or ceramic tiles

• Brushed stainless steel elements

Each finish offers a different look and feel — from natural and rustic to sleek and modern.

Yes. We offer water features with integrated smart control options, allowing you to adjust flow speed, turn lighting on/off, and set timers using your mobile device or existing home automation system.

Water features typically recirculate the same water through a pump system, so water usage is minimal. Energy-efficient pumps and LED lighting help reduce power consumption. We can recommend setups that are both eco-friendly and cost-effective, especially in areas of South Africa with higher utility rates.

For most garden fountains and pool-integrated features, standard recirculation pumps and inline strainers are sufficient. However, for koi ponds or natural-style cascades, we may recommend additional filtration or a small backup tank to maintain water clarity and prevent evaporation loss.

We focus on custom-designed installations tailored to your space and vision. This ensures your water feature is a unique addition that complements your home, pool, or garden. We can, however, recommend pre-manufactured components (like pumps and stainless spillways) as part of your bespoke build.

Yes. If you have a water feature that’s no longer working, leaking, or outdated, we can assess, repair, or completely revamp it. This includes updating cladding, replacing pumps, or adding lighting and automation to bring it back to life.

South Africa’s climate varies by region, so we recommend materials that are both weather-resistant and non-slip when wet. Popular choices include:

• Natural sandstone and slate for a rustic or lodge-style look

• Concrete pavers for modern geometric layouts

• Clay bricks for a traditional, warm aesthetic

• Porcelain and ceramic tiles for a sleek, clean finish

• Composite decking for low-maintenance, splinter-free durability

Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most standard installations take:

• Patios only: 4–7 working days

• Patio with pergola: 7–10 working days

• Custom designs with built-in seating or lighting: 10–15 working days

Yes — we use materials specifically suited for South African conditions. Timber pergolas are treated for moisture and sun, while aluminium pergolas are rust-resistant and ideal for coastal regions. We also offer adjustable roofing systems for added rain protection and built-in UV screens where necessary.

In many cases, freestanding pergolas that don’t exceed a certain size or attach to your house may not require approval. However, some estates and municipalities have specific guidelines. We assist with plan submissions if required and advise you based on your region’s regulations.

Absolutely. We can integrate:

• LED downlights or strip lighting

• Outdoor ceiling fans or heaters

• Retractable shade covers or louvre systems

• Built-in seating, planters, or fire pits

Let us know your vision, and we’ll bring it to life.

• A pergola offers both aesthetic and functional advantages:

  • Shade and UV protection

  • Defined zones for lounging, dining, or relaxing

  • Improved property value and outdoor usability

  • A visually appealing structure that complements your landscaping

Yes. We can retrofit a pergola into an existing pool area as long as the base is structurally sound. We’ll assess the site and advise on anchoring, waterproofing, and potential upgrades needed.

Maintenance depends on the materials used:

• Natural stone: Occasional resealing and light scrubbing

• Wooden pergolas: Annual treatment with UV-resistant sealants

• Aluminium or steel: Simple cleaning with soap and water

• Composite decking: No sealing required; just wash as needed

Yes. All our patio and pergola installations come with workmanship guarantees. We’re available to assist with repairs, refinishing, and future expansions if needed.
