Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green on your Carrollton rooftop or deck isn't just a novelty—it's a smart move for homeowners who want to maximize their outdoor space without fighting the Georgia heat and humidity on a full-size lawn. Whether you're in the UWG area with a smaller lot or closer to Downtown Carrollton where deck and rooftop living is becoming more popular, artificial turf gives you that lush, playable surface year-round. The beauty of installing a putting green up top is that you sidestep the drainage headaches that come with Carroll County's red clay soil, and you get usable green space that doesn't demand the constant watering a natural grass green would need in this climate. We've worked with homeowners across the county who were skeptical about artificial turf at first—they worried about the look or whether it'd hold up. But once they see how realistic modern turf is, and how it plays after just a few months of settling, they realize they made the right call. Your rooftop or deck green becomes a genuine gathering spot, not just a conversation piece.
Carrollton's red clay is a mixed blessing. It drains poorly in heavy rain, which is exactly why a rooftop or elevated deck installation makes sense—you're already elevated, so water management becomes straightforward. The sun exposure on your rooftop or deck will likely be stronger than you'd get at ground level, so we factor that into our turf selection; modern synthetic blends handle UV better than they did five years ago, and we choose products that won't fade or get brittle under Georgia's summer intensity. Shade patterns matter too—if your deck faces north toward the Carrollton Greenbelt or nearby trees, you'll have different playability than a south-facing rooftop. Both work fine; it's just about understanding how the ball will roll and run at different times of day. Decking material underneath (wood, composite, concrete) affects drainage slightly, but properly installed base layers and permeable underlayment handle Carrollton's seasonal rainfall without pooling. Most of the rooftop and deck lots we see in the UWG area and Downtown neighborhoods are moderate in size—not sprawling—so a full 500–800 square-foot putting green is plenty and fits naturally without overwhelming the space.
Absolutely. Carrollton summers are hot and humid, but modern synthetic turf is engineered to handle it. The turf won't melt or degrade under direct sun—that's a myth from older products. It will get warm to the touch, but it won't damage the material or affect play. Proper installation with ventilation underneath keeps it from retaining heat and damaging your roof structure. We've installed rooftop greens that perform beautifully from May through September without any issues.
We install a multi-layer base that includes perforated underlayment and crushed stone, which directs water off the turf and toward your existing rooftop or deck drainage system. Carroll County gets solid rainfall, especially in spring, but these systems are built to handle it without pooling. If your roof has slight slope or your deck drains naturally, we work with that existing grade to ensure water moves quickly and doesn't sit on the turf.
Yes, but we recommend a protective barrier between the turf system and your wood decking to prevent moisture buildup and prolong your deck's life. A rubber underlayment or composite protection layer goes down first, then we build the base system on top of that. It adds a small cost upfront but protects your deck from rot and extends everything's lifespan by years.
Modern turf gives you a true, consistent roll that mimics natural greens—not perfectly identical, but close enough that golfers don't feel cheated. Carrollton's elevation and any slight slope on your rooftop or deck will affect play just like terrain would on a natural green. After the turf settles for 6–8 weeks, most homeowners are shocked at how realistic it plays. Speed depends on turf type, but we typically match products that roll at 10–11 on the Stimp meter, which is perfect for casual play and practice.
