SunSouth Carolinas maintains a $10,000 project minimum to ensure every client receives our dedicated, premium turnkey service and top-tier materials.
Our design-build process starts with an on-site consultation to assess your topography and goals. We then create an immersive 3D architectural model. Once approved, our in-house master masonry and installation teams handle 100% of the construction, delivering a seamless, stress-free experience.
Yes, most structural additions, retaining walls over 30 inches, and electrical/gas installations require municipal permits and strict HOA approvals in Mecklenburg and Wake counties. SunSouth Carolinas manages the entire bureaucratic process, securing all necessary permits and submitting HOA compliance paperwork on your behalf.
We solve Carolina red clay drainage issues by engineering custom French drains, catch basins, and proper yard grading. Because red clay expands heavily and traps water, our structural retaining walls always include deep gravel bases and perforated weep pipes to prevent hydrostatic pressure failures.
Construction timelines range from 1 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity of the design. Standard custom paver patios take less than a week, while comprehensive luxury backyard resorts featuring fiberglass pools, outdoor kitchens, and pavilions require 3 to 4 weeks of dedicated installation.
Yes, we provide an ironclad 3-year craftsmanship warranty on all our installations to protect against settling or installation errors. This is layered seamlessly over lifetime manufacturer warranties from elite suppliers like Techo-Bloc, guaranteeing the dimensional integrity of your pavers for life.
