Custom Water Features in Apex, NC
Transforming outdoor living spaces into peaceful retreats for homeowners across Apex and surrounding neighborhoods.





Why Choose Our Water Feature Installers in Apex?
As Apex experiences rapid growth, many new homes are built within Conservation Subdivisions. While this preserves our beautiful local green spaces, it often means houses are built closer together, leading to a lack of visual privacy and an increase in noise pollution from traffic and neighboring yards.
A custom water feature is more than just a beautiful focal point; it serves as acoustic biotechnology. The continuous white noise generated by moving water effectively masks unwanted sounds, creating a secluded sanctuary right in your backyard. We design and install systems that perfectly balance aesthetic luxury with functional tranquility, giving you back your peace of mind.
Top 4 Reasons Homeowners in Apex Install Water Features
Acoustic Privacy
The soothing sound of a waterfall or fountain acts as a natural noise barrier, masking the sounds of nearby traffic and close-knit neighborhood conversations.
Wildlife Attraction
Gentle water features naturally attract local birds and butterflies, enhancing the organic, relaxing atmosphere of your outdoor living space.
Seamless Architectural Integration
We utilize native stones and materials designed to complement the natural aesthetic of the popular Craftsman and Modern Farmhouse homes found throughout Apex.
Eco-Friendly Closed-Loop Systems
We use high-efficiency, closed-loop recirculation pumps that minimize water consumption, aligning perfectly with the environmental ethics of Wake County.
Complete Your Apex Backyard Oasis
Native Landscape Design
Frame your new water feature with native, clay-adapted plants. We amend the acidic Piedmont soil to create a lush, organic backdrop that thrives in Wake County.
Custom Outdoor Fireplaces
Combine the soothing sounds of water with the warmth of a fire. We build custom masonry fireplaces that serve as stunning focal points for year-round entertaining.
Structural Retaining Walls
Maximize your sloped backyard. Our engineered retaining walls not only prevent severe erosion but offer a beautiful, stable base for integrated weeping water walls.

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![]()

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.
