Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all of Charleston, SC?
Yes! Carolina Paver & Turf serves all neighborhoods throughout Charleston and surrounding areas. Our team is familiar with local HOA requirements, permitting processes, and the specific conditions in Charleston.
What permits are required for outdoor projects in Charleston?
Permit requirements in Charleston vary by project scope and location. Many paver installations don't require permits, but structural elements like retaining walls over 4 feet or marine construction typically do. We handle all permitting as part of our service.
How do Lowcountry conditions affect outdoor installations?
The Lowcountry presents unique challenges including salt air exposure, high humidity, sandy soils, and occasional flooding. We select materials and installation methods specifically suited to these conditions, ensuring your investment lasts.
What type of seawall is best for Charleston properties?
The best seawall type depends on your Charleston property's specific conditions—water depth, wave action, and soil type. We typically recommend vinyl sheet pile or rip rap solutions, often combined with living shoreline elements.
How long do seawalls last in Charleston?
A properly installed seawall in Charleston can last 30-50+ years. Vinyl sheet pile walls are especially durable in our salt water environment. We engineer every installation for maximum longevity.
