Custom Stone Wall Installation in Apex, NC
Adding structural elegance, built-in seating, and architectural beauty for homeowners across Apex and surrounding neighborhoods.







Why Choose Our Custom Stone Wall Masons in Apex?
Building perimeter or accent walls in Apex means navigating some of the most granular regulations in the Town’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Unlike other regions, Apex explicitly prohibits the use of bare concrete blocks, plywood, or corrugated metal for any fencing or walls. Furthermore, wall heights are strictly capped at 7 feet in the rear of the property and limited to a mere 48 inches in front yards.
We specialize in designing and building premium natural stone walls and “seat walls” that not only comply with these strict town codes but also elevate the luxury of your outdoor living space. By matching the native stone to your home’s Craftsman, Modern Farmhouse, or Colonial Revival architecture, we create beautiful, functional masonry that seamlessly anchors your landscape and withstands the shifting pressures of the Piedmont red clay.
Top 4 Reasons Apex Homeowners Build Custom Stone Walls
Built-In Patio Seating
We design low-profile “seat walls” around your paver patio or fire pit, providing permanent, elegant seating and drastically reducing the need to purchase bulky, expensive outdoor furniture.
Strict UDO Compliance
We ensure your new masonry perfectly adheres to the Apex UDO restrictions, keeping front yard walls under 48 inches, rear walls under 7 feet, and using only town-approved premium materials.
Architectural Harmony
Whether your home is a Modern Farmhouse or a classic Colonial Revival, we use native stones, brick combinations, and accent columns to match your exterior aesthetics perfectly.
Unmatched Durability
Unlike wood fences that quickly rot in the humid Carolina climate or prohibited bare materials, our premium stone walls offer a permanent, weather-resistant property boundary that adds lasting value.
Complete Your Apex Backyard Oasis
Custom Paver Patios
Anchor your new stone seat walls around a stunning paver patio. We design interlocking paver systems that perfectly complement your masonry, creating a cohesive and luxurious outdoor living room.
Stone Fire Pits
Pair your curved stone seat walls with a matching 360-degree fire pit. This creates the ultimate, cozy gathering space for entertaining family and friends during chilly North Carolina nights.
Custom Landscape Design
Soften the look of your masonry. We design lush, native garden beds around your stone walls, utilizing specific soil amendments to ensure your plants thrive in Apex’s dense red clay.

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.
