Top 3 Projects of SunSouth Carolinas: Transforming Backyards into Dream Retreats

At SunSouth Carolinas, we take pride in creating outdoor living spaces that turn ordinary backyards into breathtaking sanctuaries. Our commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and client collaboration allows us to design custom outdoor environments tailored to fit each homeowner’s vision. From private oases to entertaining hubs, we excel at transforming challenging spaces into stunning outdoor retreats. Today, we’re thrilled to highlight three of our most iconic projects: Social Escape, Pool Day Paradise, and Mini Golf Tour. Each project is a testament to our ability to merge function, beauty, and innovation, creating personalized spaces that enhance outdoor living.

1. Social Escape: A Private Oasis in the Heart of the Carolinas

Nestled in a bustling Carolinas neighborhood, the Social Escape project was all about turning a backyard with difficult terrain and privacy concerns into a tranquil haven. Our clients desired a space that would serve as a retreat from urban life while providing areas for entertaining friends and family.

Challenges:

The property’s sloping terrain posed a significant obstacle. Uneven elevations made it hard to create usable, level areas for activities. The lack of privacy due to the proximity of neighboring houses also detracted from the peaceful ambiance the homeowners sought.

Design Solutions:

To overcome the terrain, we created terraced areas, each with its own purpose. Steps illuminated with ambient lighting connected different zones, such as lounging and dining spaces. Retaining walls made from natural stone not only provided structural integrity but added rustic charm to the design.

To enhance privacy, we strategically placed a pergola over the main seating area, adding a layer of intimacy and creating a perfect spot for social gatherings. Tall, lush plants around the property perimeter acted as a natural privacy screen, while water features such as a small pond contributed to the serene atmosphere.

The showstopper was the custom curved pool, a unifying element that drew all the design features together. The choice of materials, from stone walls to warm-toned pavers, brought a harmonious feel to the entire backyard. Carefully placed outdoor lighting, including dramatic uplighting and soft string lights, completed the transformation, making the space equally enjoyable during the day and night.

Final Result:

The Social Escape project showcases SunSouth Carolinas’ ability to conquer complex challenges while delivering a stunning outdoor retreat. Today, this backyard is a secluded oasis, offering both elegance and functionality, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.

2. Pool Day Paradise: Your Ultimate Backyard Escape

Our Pool Day Paradise project demonstrates how an unused backyard can be transformed into a lively space for relaxation and entertainment. The homeowners wanted a backyard that offered multiple areas for outdoor living and fun, with a pool as the centerpiece.

Challenges:

The existing space was confined and lacked any aesthetic appeal or purpose. Our goal was to maximize space by creating distinct zones for relaxation, entertainment, and culinary activities, while ensuring the area felt expansive and welcoming.

Design Solutions:

We began by designing a freeform pool with a gentle slope entry. The organic shape of the pool, combined with its inviting blue water, became the heart of the backyard. Surrounding the pool, we created an expansive patio using a mix of materials and patterns that enhanced visual interest.

To meet the homeowners’ culinary needs, we installed a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen, complete with a grill, pizza oven, and bar area, blending modern convenience with rustic charm. Adjacent to the kitchen, we created a cozy fire pit area, perfect for intimate gatherings, with a low retaining wall and comfortable seating to foster conversation and relaxation.

To ensure privacy, we enclosed the backyard with a white vinyl fence and added a pergola over a secluded hot tub area. Landscaping with lush greenery enhanced the sense of serenity, while the hot tub provided a quiet escape.

Final Result:

Pool Day Paradise is the epitome of a backyard designed for relaxation, culinary creativity, and social gatherings. It’s a space where the homeowners can enjoy their own private retreat, while also entertaining family and friends.

3. Mini Golf Tour: Transforming Your Backyard into a Golfer’s Paradise

For our Mini Golf Tour project, the goal was to create a space that blended relaxation with the homeowner’s passion for golf. What started as a phone call led to a remarkable transformation of an underutilized backyard into a golfer’s paradise.

Challenges:

The space was underutilized and disconnected from the house, making it difficult for the homeowners to enjoy the area fully. Additionally, the lack of privacy and limited entertainment options made the backyard feel incomplete.

Design Solutions:

We transformed the underused area into a multi-functional oasis. At the center of the design was a custom putting green, a golfer’s dream come true. We added a sparkling pool and jacuzzi for relaxation and placed them strategically to create a smooth flow between different zones. Artificial turf replaced barren patches, adding vibrancy while remaining low-maintenance.

To create a seamless connection between the house and the outdoor area, we installed a visually appealing concrete driveway, bridging the deck and pool area. Strategic lighting enhanced the space’s usability at night, creating a magical ambiance.

For added privacy, we installed a tall wooden fence, enclosing the backyard to create an intimate setting. Lush landscaping and well-placed lounge chairs completed the serene environment, making it ideal for both unwinding and socializing.

Final Result:

Mini Golf Tour is an outstanding example of how we blend entertainment and relaxation. The combination of a putting green, pool, jacuzzi, and vibrant landscaping makes this backyard an exciting, multi-purpose retreat.
