Premium Artificial Turf Installation in Apex, NC

Q: How does artificial turf drain over the hard Apex clay?

Proper drainage is everything. The team at SunSouth Carolinas excavates the slow-draining top clay and installs a deep, engineered crushed stone sub-base that allows rainwater and pet liquids to drain significantly faster than natural soil.

Q: Is synthetic grass completely safe for my dogs?

Absolutely. SunSouth Carolinas installs premium artificial turf specifically designed to be 100% mud-free, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic. Urine drains straight through the system, preventing odor buildup and eliminating dead yellow spots entirely.

Q: Does artificial turf get too hot in the North Carolina summer?

It can retain heat in direct sunlight, but SunSouth Carolinas utilizes advanced infill technologies and blade designs engineered to dissipate temperature. A quick spray with a garden hose will also instantly cool the surface for bare feet or paws.

Providing flawless, mud-free, and zero-maintenance outdoor surfaces for homeowners across Apex and surrounding neighborhoods.

Please note: Our luxury artificial turf installations are exclusively available as integrated add-ons to comprehensive SunSouth Carolinas hardscaping and masonry projects.

Why Choose Our Artificial Turf Installers in Apex?

Maintaining a natural tall fescue lawn in Apex is a constant, expensive battle. The blistering North Carolina summer heat, combined with our slow-draining red clay and high humidity, creates the perfect “disease triangle” for the destructive Rhizoctonia solani (Brown Patch) fungus. Homeowners find themselves trapped in a frustrating cycle of over-fertilizing, aggressive fungicide applications, and core aeration every fall just to keep the grass alive.

We offer total liberation from this cycle. By installing advanced synthetic turf systems, we transform your yard into a premium, luxury space that looks perfect 365 days a year. We engineer our installations from the ground up, utilizing crushed stone sub-bases that facilitate massive drainage, completely eliminating mud from your home and preventing odor buildup for pet owners. It is the perfect combination of flawless aesthetics and irreproachable mechanical function.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SunSouth Carolinas is truly the best company you can go with if you are in need of yard designs and installations! Our family came to their team with a list of desires and medium-sized yard to work with. They were able to incorporate EVERYTHING we asked for, plus some surprises! The turnaround time is incredible (we had a goal date of our daughter's first birthday and they made it happen). The team is lovely--so positive, respectful, yet also super transparent and straightforward. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with in creating the backyard putting green, patio, pergola and fireplace of our dreams!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with SunSouth! The entire team was warm and friendly every step of the way — special shoutout to Ginny and Nick, our project manager. Definitely sent them too many emails / texts, but they were always happy to help / answer my questions. End result is beautiful. Thank you, SunSouth! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are very pleased with our new paver patio. When Carlos came out to provide us with an estimate, he spent a great deal of time talking to us about our goals for the project and provided us with several very nice design options.  Christina and Ginny worked with us in the design center, helping us to select the materials best suited for our project. Upon completion, Carlos came out in person to see the finished patio and ensure that it met with our satisfaction. From start to finish, it has been a pleasure working with Sun South Carolinas.  Although our project was not extravagant, Sun South treated us like an important and valued customer. We feel confident in their workmanship and appreciate that they stand by their work. I would recommend this company without hesitation and plan to utilize their services for future projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot say enough good things about this company. We had them out to replace an old railroad tie retaining wall and they did a great job. Carlos was very involved throughout the process, which brought us immense peace of mind and said a lot that the owner of the company is personally invested in our project. Fernando and his crew were knowledgeable and worked hard, and they made adjustments at one point to the wall level rather than try to hide it like other companies would. Ginny and the other office staff stayed in constant contact with us to coordinate it all. SunSouth was very willing to work with us to make sure we got the wall we wanted and accommodate any changes we had. They even used the fill dirt from excavating the wall to flatten a hill and increase our usable yard size. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing masonry work. Their integrity and communication with us were more than we could have hoped for. Their price was also competitive with other quotes we had received.

They cleaned up the work site before leaving every day. They kept us posted on the progress. We are enjoying it and have been showing it off. Looking forward to the warmer weather when we can start entertaining in the space. Thank you.

They put in and outdoor grill, refrigerator and cabinet and added additional pavers that match perfectly with our existing pool area!  They also added a metal adjustable pergola which tops it off perfectly!  Highly recommend them for your next outdoor addition!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely happy with how my backyard landscaping project turned out. I had a sloped backyard that needed a retaining wall to level the backyard, along with a new paver patio and fire pit, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I was kept informed throughout the process, the project stayed on schedule and within estimated budget, and the quality of work is excellent. The entire SunSouth Carolinas crew was friendly, respectful, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again on future projects.

Will artificial turf solve my Brown Patch fungus problem?

Yes, it eliminates the problem completely. Tall fescue grass in Apex constantly suffers from Brown Patch (Rhizoctonia solani) due to local humidity. By having SunSouth Carolinas install synthetic turf, you are permanently freed from expensive fungicide treatments and autumn reseeding.

Will my HOA allow synthetic grass in my yard?

Regulations vary by neighborhood. While most Apex HOAs easily approve artificial turf for backyards, front yard installations may require stricter review. SunSouth Carolinas will provide you with high-quality physical samples and technical documentation to ensure your architectural committee approves the project.
