Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Clarkston's compact urban lots and DeKalb clay soil create real challenges for traditional pool decking—especially around the Milam Park area and Downtown Clarkston where space is at a premium. Between the summer humidity, clay compaction, and those tight rooftop or small backyard setups, concrete and natural grass solutions often crack, pool water damages the soil, and maintenance becomes a headache. That's where artificial turf for pool areas comes in. We've installed premium pool-side turf throughout DeKalb County, and Clarkston homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. Artificial turf eliminates the mud and clay tracking into your home, handles the intense moisture around pool areas without degradation, and transforms an awkward wet zone into an actual outdoor living space. Whether you're working with a rooftop deck near the Clarkston Community Center corridor or a compressed backyard behind one of our older homes, synthetic turf gives you that resort-quality surround without the soggy mess or constant upkeep. We handle everything from site prep to final installation—accounting for DeKalb's specific drainage patterns and the tight lot constraints that define Clarkston's neighborhoods.
Clarkston's DeKalb clay is notoriously compact and poor-draining, which means poolside areas tend to stay wet longer and develop algae or slippery conditions faster than elsewhere in Georgia. That clay also makes natural grass nearly impossible to maintain around constant splashing and chlorine exposure. Our artificial turf installation accounts for this by incorporating proper sub-base drainage—we're not just laying turf over existing soil. Rooftop and elevated deck installations require lightweight backing systems that won't overload older structures common in Downtown Clarkston homes. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on whether you're in the tree-dense Milam Park area or the more open blocks closer to downtown; we design turf density and infill type accordingly. Because many Clarkston lots are smaller and tightly built, we minimize disruption during installation—typically a 2–3 day job—and we're precise about property lines and neighbor proximity. HOA rules in some Milam Park developments may require pre-approval for artificial surfaces, so we help you navigate that conversation. Our team handles grading, base preparation, and edge detailing specifically suited to DeKalb's clay challenges and Clarkston's urban footprint.
Absolutely. Our commercial-grade turf is chlorine- and salt-resistant, designed for pool environments nationwide. Clarkston's summer humidity and clay drainage mean synthetic turf actually outperforms natural grass dramatically—it won't rot, won't develop algae spots, and won't create that muddy clay-and-chlorine mix around the deck. Rinse it occasionally, and it stays pristine year-round.
Yes. We install lightweight, load-rated turf systems on elevated surfaces regularly. Downtown Clarkston's older homes often have weight limits, so we use thinner backing and engineered drainage systems that don't compromise structural integrity. We assess your deck first and design a system that works within those constraints.
Typically 2–3 days, depending on lot size and existing drainage. DeKalb clay requires proper base prep and grading to prevent water pooling, which we build into our timeline. Smaller Milam Park and Downtown lots often finish faster because there's less square footage to manage.
Many do, especially for pool areas—it's a functional, low-maintenance solution. We recommend reviewing your covenant before committing, and we're happy to provide specification sheets to present to your HOA board. Most Clarkston developments approve pool turf without issue once they understand durability and drainage benefits.
