can i put my hot tub on grass?

My family is planning to get a hot tub, and we are considering the best locations for it. We have a large concrete area available, but I read that a hot tub must be at least 10 feet away from the house. If that is the case, would it be acceptable to place the hot tub on a grassy area instead? I would appreciate any guidance or advice on this! Thank you!

Not only will the moisture ruin the hot tub, but the hot tub would sink into the ground. When you put in a hard surface it spreads the weight and slightly hardens the ground. I would also suggest to dig down until the ground is harder. Also if it is not on a platform, one side will sink into the ground further that the other making it unlevel.

Not when I put a hot tub in. It had to be on a stone or hard pad, never directly on grass. The moisture from the ground and dew could get into the workings and rust and ruin them. My solution instead of having concrete laid was to get a bunch of those 12×12 square pavers and use that as a base over sand. Then the installation guys had no problems.
