Premium Pool Deck Installation in Apex, NC
Transforming outdoor living spaces for homeowners across Apex and surrounding neighborhoods.





Why Choose Our Pool Deck Installers in Apex?
Building the perfect pool deck in Apex comes with two unique challenges: extreme summer heat and strict municipal regulations. With 87% of local properties facing a major risk of extreme heat, a standard concrete deck can become dangerously hot for bare feet. Additionally, the Town of Apex enforces strict impervious surface limits (often capping hardscapes at 30% or less of your lot). Poured concrete quickly eats up this limit, potentially violating your deed or triggering hefty stormwater mitigation fees.
We provide the ultimate solution. By utilizing high-reflectivity materials and engineered permeable pavers, we design pool decks that stay cool, provide slip resistance, and allow rainwater to naturally infiltrate the soil. This innovative approach maximizes your usable entertainment space while keeping you fully compliant with Wake County stormwater regulations.
Top 4 Reasons Homeowners in Apex Upgrade Their Pool Deck
Bypass Impervious Limits
Our permeable paver systems are designed according to the NC Stormwater Design Manual, allowing you to build a massive, luxurious pool deck without triggering town penalties or exceeding your lot’s impervious cap.
Barefoot Comfort
We select premium materials with high solar reflectivity to ensure your deck remains cool to the touch, preventing burns during those scorching Carolina summer afternoons.
Maximum Slip Resistance
Safety around the pool is paramount. We use textured pavers that provide superior grip when wet, giving you peace of mind when kids are running around the backyard.
Crack-Proof Durability
The expansive red clay in Apex destroys rigid concrete slabs. Our interlocking paver systems flex safely with ground movements, ensuring your pool deck looks flawless for decades.
Complete Your Apex Backyard Oasis

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!Posted on 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! ❤️Posted on 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.Posted on Google![]()

In a single day the team replaced a wood garden wall with an elegant wall. They did a previous project for me, so there was no question in hiring the for this project.Posted on 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.Posted on Google![]()

They did a beautiful job with our backyard. It is a dream come true. The men worked long and steady. 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.Posted on Google![]()

Loved working with SunSouth Carolinas for my outdoor kitchen! They had great ideas and were easy to work with! 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!Posted on 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Decks in Apex
The Town of Apex typically caps impervious (hard) surfaces at 30% for many modern residential lots, though some subdivisions are as low as 6%. SunSouth Carolinas specializes in permeable paver pool decks that allow water to drain through, helping you stay under this legal limit while maximizing your outdoor space.
Yes, it can. Because Apex charges a monthly stormwater utility fee based on your property’s impervious square footage, the team at SunSouth Carolinas can install permeable pavers that may reduce your overall impermeable footprint and lower these ongoing municipal fees.
Not when properly designed. SunSouth Carolinas strategically selects high-end pavers and natural stones with high solar reflectivity, ensuring the surface stays remarkably cooler and safer for bare feet than traditional poured concrete.
In Apex, poured concrete is highly vulnerable to the immense pressure of our expansive red clay soils, leading to inevitable cracking. SunSouth Carolinas highly recommends interlocking pavers because they flex with the soil’s micro-movements, providing a permanent, crack-free solution.
If the replacement alters your property’s drainage or expands your footprint, town review is usually required. SunSouth Carolinas handles all the necessary permitting, stormwater compliance checks, and HOA approvals so you don’t have to deal with the Town of Apex bureaucracy.
