From Blank Canvas to
Backyard Destination
Before we broke ground, this backyard was just a wide expanse of grass.
While spacious, it lacked purpose. The homeowners had a beautiful screened porch, but stepping outside meant stepping into undefined territory often wet and muddy. They needed a space that bridge the gap between their home and nature, a place to entertain family without sacrificing comfort.
From Sketch to Stone
At SunSouth Carolinas, we don’t like surprises. We visualize every detail in 3D before a single
stone is laid. Seeing the digital concept come to life with such precision is a
testament to our master masonry team.
Defining Space
as a whole
Our design philosophy was centered on flow and structure.
To tame the gentle slope and define the entertainment zones, we installed custom masonry sitting walls. These low-profile walls don’t just hold the terrain; they act as a permanent frame for the patio, offering extra seating for large parties while maintaining an open sightline to the rest of the garden.
A Kitchen Built
for Hosts
Why go inside to chec
the oven?
We designed a spacious
L-shaped outdoor kitchen
featuring a built-in premium
grill and stainless steel storage.
The expansive countertop
isn’t just for prep; it serves as
a social bar where guests can
chat with the chef. Notice the
brickwork expertly matched to
the home’s existin façade for a
seamless look.

Gathering by
the Fire
The heart of the patio is the fire
pit area. Positioned centrally,
the circular seating arrangement
encourages conversation that
lasts long after the sun goes down.
The surrounding pavers provide
a clean, level surface that makes
the furniture feel stable and
permanent.

A Private Escape
To create a sense of intimacy
within the open patio, we
designed a custom wood
pergola and privacy wall for
the hot tub. This element adds
vertical interest and warmth,
turning a simple soak into a
spa-like experience.
