Built for Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island is where Palm Shore Hardscapes & Design's most detailed work happens. Between the island's gated plantations, its Architectural Review Boards, and full coastal exposure, every pool deck, patio, and outdoor kitchen here has to be designed for salt, sun, and scrutiny. We've built for homeowners across Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, and Hilton Head Plantation, and we know what each community expects before the first drawing is submitted.

What to Know About Hardscape in Hilton Head Island
- 01
Every major Hilton Head community operates its own Architectural Review Board, and the Town of Hilton Head Island adds a second layer with its Land Management Ordinance — tree protection, setbacks, and impervious surface limits all apply to hardscape. We handle the drawings and specifications for both, and we know which communities require material samples, which require a survey, and how long each typically takes to approve.
- 02
The island is a barrier island: sandy soil, high water table, and salt air on every surface. Base preparation is non-negotiable here. Every Palm Shore deck is built on excavated, compacted aggregate with geotextile fabric and drainage designed to handle both a summer thunderstorm and a tropical system. Coping and joints are sealed for salt exposure from day one.
- 03
Travertine dominates Hilton Head pool decks for good reason — it stays cool in August, it's naturally slip-resistant, and it reads as the stone it is. For contemporary homes on the south end, large-format porcelain pavers are increasingly requested. We install both, along with concrete pavers for full-scale renovations of older plantation-era decks.
- 04
Access on the island runs through each community's security gate. We coordinate passes and scheduling so your project doesn't stall at the entrance. Our crews cross the bridge from Bluffton daily, and we schedule Okatie and island work on the same routes.
