EXCELLENT Based on 211 reviews James Bass2025-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SunSouth installed a patio in my backyard recently. We were so pleased with the outcome that we put iron FB for our friends to see plus our neighbors have been looking at it because of our satisfaction with the project. SunSouth is very Professional and great to work with. Sahrish Javed2025-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really can't recommend SunSouth enough. They truly transformed my backyard from an unusable steel hillside forest to a level and safe backyard for my family. Carlos, Ginny and Fernando were great at communicating every step of the way. Hannah Mclaurin2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a pleasure it was working with SunSouth. We had been waiting on another company to redo our deck for 4 months and it kept getting pushed out. We got tired of waiting and had 6 different companies to come and give us quotes. Carlos the owner came out to look and give us a quote that day. He was able to give us the deck we wanted and a beautiful stone patio. He came over on a Thursday for the quote. We picked materials on Friday. There was crew out the following Wednesday and finished on Friday. Everyone that worked on this was friendly, professional and timely. I would recommend this company 10/10 times. Thanks Sunsouth for the beautiful deck. Ashley Russo2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot say enough positive things about SunSouth Carolinas. They did a phenomenal job with my patio project. Everything from the quote, to the design process, scheduling, and execution was professional and the team was extremely communicative throughout. They took my loose requirements and turned it into a beautiful and FUNCTIONAL design. They installed my patio, extended my mulch beds and added in the flagstone path- and they left the worksite as clean as they found it. Very happy with their work and would highly recommend them! Jon Bass2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunsouth created exactly what we were looking for. They were able to take my existing space, add to it and re-create a much more functional and wonderful outdoor living space. They did a great job utilizing my existing stone work and pergola. We especially love the new STONE WORK and the beautiful high-quality pergola with a covering. They were able to see our vision and create it. They exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend them! Kim Filsinger2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team has done a few jobs for me. Carlos is awesome and professional. Great ideas and creative in finding solutions. Would use for all outdoor needs Chris Smitty2025-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The first question anyone reading a review when researching a company to build a project at their home is, if we could do the project all over again would we choose SunSouth Carolina’s again? The answer is yes 100%. Second question everyone wants to know. Did we finish on budget and did they change the price at all at the end? Yes we finished within budget and they did not adjust a single dollar in the cost. Third question everyone wants to know. Would we call SunSouth for our next outdoor project? 100% they would be my first call. From the existing excellent reviews and to what I now know about how SunSouth operates their business they have built a trust with us that makes me confident in them working at my home. We chose SunSouth to build our pool after interviewing six contractors in total. They installed an Imagine Fantasy Pool in grey with a paver surround that matched the existing retaining wall, and river rock dry creek beds for context of the project. Logan came out for our consult, heard all of our wants, and quickly put a design together to show us the potential for our new space that would be cohesive with our existing landscape. We had a challenging space to work with our hill and existing retaining wall. He worked magic that translated into a well executed final product. His professionalism and confidence is really what moved us to choose SunSouth Carolina’s for our pool project. Dig day came quick and was on time as scheduled. All the crews came together and worked in unison and set the pool in the ground with full of water in a single day, it was quite impressive to watch it all happen. Christina one of the owners came out and spent all day on site to make sure everything went well. Once the pool was in there was still a bunch of work ahead in terms of dirt removal, inspections, electrical, grading, prepping, hardscaping, drainage, river rock etc. all that work was coordinated well by SunSouth. All in all it took about 6-7 weeks or so to get everything wrapped up which is pretty fast in terms of installing a swimming pool and the other scope of work to go along with it especially since with project was going through all the winter holidays. Finally we’re done and we are very happy with the end result! The SunSouth team is great through and through. The owners Christina and Carlos work with their team not stand above them. It’s clear they care about each project and their customers not just the revenue. Ginny the office manager is much more than that, she is the communication lifeline and coordinates everything. Her ability to address and resolve any situation without hesitation speaks volumes. Fernando and the crew that built everything are some of the hardest working people I have met and it is very evident they care about their craft and customer satisfaction. In the end they built exactly what we wanted and couldn’t be happier with the end result. Thank you SunSouth! Chris & Sandy Kevin McFadden2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a great job with our patio paver project. I appreciated the effort that went into the design to give us a more custom / unique look. Communication on planning and project execution was much appreciated. Strongly recommend. Christian Campbell2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent company and very pleasant to work with. You will not be disappointed in working with SunSouth Carolinas. Quality company doing quality work! Kara Parios2024-12-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. LOVE MY PATIO!! Huge thank you to Logan and his crew for an awesome job!! Already looking into the next project!

Have Questions? We Have Answers
We believe in clear communication every step of the way. Here are answers to some common questions about creating your dream outdoor space with SunSouth Carolinas, your expert patio contractor, masonry contractor, and trusted landscape designer.
How much does a typical outdoor living project or patio cost with SunSouth Carolinas?
The investment for an Outdoor Living space is uniquely tailored to each client’s vision and property. While simpler projects, such as installing elegant pavers with a cozy fire pit, might begin in the $10,000 to $15,000 range, more comprehensive undertakings that include custom swimming pools, fully equipped outdoor kitchens, and extensive paver work can naturally involve a larger investment, potentially $150,000 to $250,000 or more. It’s important to note that SunSouth Carolinas specializes in crafting high-quality, personalized outdoor environments, and we undertake projects with a minimum value of $10,000 to ensure we can deliver the exceptional results our clients expect. The final cost is influenced by factors such as the overall size and complexity of the design, the specific types of materials selected, existing site conditions, and the range of features you wish to include. To get a clear and accurate understanding of the investment required for your specific dream patio, we encourage you to schedule a personalized on-site consultation. We also offer excellent financing solutions; you can learn more on our Financing page.
I want to enhance my outdoor space but I'm unsure about the design. How can SunSouth Carolinas help create a personalized plan?
As your dedicated landscape designer, SunSouth Carolinas excels in transforming even vague ideas into stunning, functional, and deeply personalized Outdoor Living environments. Our collaborative process begins when you reach out to us; we’ll schedule an appointment for our expert designers to visit your home. During this crucial visit, we dedicate time to walk your property, analyze the terrain, and most importantly, listen carefully to your desires, functional needs, and how you envision using your new outdoor space. This client-centric approach ensures that the designs we propose are a true reflection of your personality and lifestyle. Leveraging this information, our team crafts a custom proposal, which often includes detailed 3D renderings. This advanced visualization technology allows you to virtually step into your new patio or outdoor kitchen before construction even begins, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions and refine any aspect of the design. Our goal is to ensure the final plan perfectly aligns with your vision and budget. Explore some of our past personalized designs in our 3D Gallery or learn more about our dedicated team on our About Us page.

Embarking on your Outdoor Living project with SunSouth Carolinas is a seamless and transparent journey, designed to bring your vision to life with ease. It starts with your Initial Contact – simply reach out via our website form or give us a call.

Are permits required for building or renovating a patio or outdoor living space in areas like Charlotte or Raleigh?
Yes, in most municipalities across North and South Carolina, including key service areas like Charlotte and Raleigh, permits are generally required for significant patio renovations or any new Outdoor Living construction. These regulations are in place to ensure safety standards, structural integrity, and proper land use. Navigating these requirements can often seem daunting for homeowners, as specific rules can vary between different cities and counties. However, this is not something you need to be concerned about when partnering with SunSouth Carolinas. As an integral part of our comprehensive, turnkey service, we manage the entire permitting process for you after the project contract is finalized. Our team has extensive experience and familiarity with local building codes and procedures, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is correctly filed and approved. This commitment allows you to focus on the exciting aspects of your project while we handle the complexities of regulatory compliance. If you have initial questions about this, feel free to contact us.
How long does it typically take to complete an outdoor living project once construction begins?
The timeline for completing your Outdoor Living project will naturally vary depending on the specific scope, intricacy of the design, and overall scale of the work involved. For instance, smaller projects that meet our $10,000 minimum engagement, such as a beautifully designed paver patio or the installation of a custom fire pit, can often be completed by our efficient Patio Builders within a timeframe of 2 days to 1 week once construction is underway. Larger, more complex endeavors, such as the installation of custom swimming pools, the construction of comprehensive outdoor kitchens with multiple appliances, or elaborate multi-level patio systems, may require a longer construction period, typically ranging from 1 week to 4 weeks, and occasionally more, depending on factors like favorable weather conditions and the scheduling of necessary inspections. Regardless of project size, SunSouth Carolinas is committed to maintaining open and clear communication regarding the timeline, providing you with regular updates from start to finish. You can see examples of our completed projects, both large and small, in our Portfolio.
What types of materials does SunSouth Carolinas use for its masonry and patio projects?
As a premier Masonry Contractor dedicated to quality and longevity, SunSouth Carolinas exclusively utilizes a wide array of high-quality materials for all our Outdoor Living projects. We understand that the choice of materials is crucial for both the aesthetic appeal and the durability of your investment. That’s why we’ve cultivated strong partnerships with renowned industry-leading suppliers such as Techo-Bloc, Natural Stone, Belgard, Keystone, and Stone Veneer. These collaborations provide us access to an extensive selection of premium pavers, authentic natural stone, and sophisticated veneers, available in a multitude of shapes, vibrant colors, and unique textures. This diverse palette allows our design team to craft truly custom outdoor environments that perfectly align with your personal style, functional requirements, and the architectural character of your home. The benefits of using such high-grade materials include enhanced beauty, superior durability against the elements, and often, reduced long-term maintenance. We invite you to explore the diverse material options and see their application in our projects by visiting our 3D Gallery & Materials Showcase or discussing your preferences during your design consultation.
Does SunSouth Carolinas undertake commercial hardscaping and outdoor living projects?

We have a proven track record of successfully completing a variety of commercial hardscaping projects across the Charlotte and Raleigh regions and beyond.
