Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Rooftop decks in Crabapple have exploded over the last five years—especially around the Birmingham Falls area where those rolling estate lots give you views worth showcasing. The problem? Traditional landscaping up there doesn't work. Wind exposure, weight limits, drainage concerns, and the North Fulton clay underneath your foundation all play against you. That's where commercial-grade artificial turf comes in. We've installed synthetic surfaces on rooftop decks, patios, and elevated outdoor spaces throughout Fulton County, and the Crabapple Crossroads crowd has caught on fast. Unlike sod or ornamental plantings, turf engineered for commercial use handles foot traffic, doesn't require constant watering in Georgia's summer heat, and won't degrade from the intense sun your deck actually gets. Whether you're looking to transform a second-story deck into a usable gathering space or create a rooftop lounge that feels like natural grass, we've got the products and know-how to make it work. It takes about 35 minutes for our crew to roll out to your property, and we'll assess your specific setup—load capacity, drainage, orientation—before recommending the right turf system.
Crabapple's estate lots come with advantages and challenges when you're planning elevated outdoor spaces. The rolling terrain and North Fulton clay means your foundation sits on dense, slow-draining soil—which is exactly why rooftop decks become so valuable. You get better views and escape the moisture problems that plague ground-level patios in this area. On the flip side, your deck itself needs to handle weight properly. Commercial turf systems add density, so we always verify your structure can take the load before installation. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether your deck faces the Birmingham Falls side or backs toward the Crabapple Market corridor. East and south-facing decks get hammered in afternoon heat, which is why we spec UV-stabilized yarn and proper drainage mats. Wind can also be a factor on higher decks in this hilly terrain—we secure seaming and use adhesives rated for uplift. HOA rules in Crabapple tend to be reasonable about rooftop improvements, but we'll help you navigate approval if needed. The good news: artificial turf doesn't shed leaves or require fertilizer runoff that concerns neighborhood covenants.
Yes. Residential turf isn't engineered for foot traffic density, UV exposure, or weight load. Commercial systems use heavier backing, denser pile, and better infill performance. On a rooftop deck where people actually gather, residential turf breaks down in two to three years. Commercial grade lasts 10–15 years in Crabapple's climate. The upfront difference is worth it.
Yes, it does warm up more than grass. We use light-colored infill and ensure proper drainage so heat doesn't pool. Some customers add a shade structure or pergola to reduce direct sun. We can also recommend turf colors and blade heights that reflect more heat. It's warmer than sod, but still comfortable for bare feet with the right setup.
Drainage isn't about your soil—it's about your deck structure. We install perforated backing and slope the turf slightly so water runs off or drains through to your deck system. Since clay holds moisture, proper deck drainage is critical. We'll inspect your roofing and gutters to ensure no water pools beneath the turf.
Cost depends on deck size, turf quality, and prep work. Most Crabapple decks run 300–800 square feet. Budget $10–18 per square foot installed. We provide a free on-site estimate after checking your deck's structure and drainage. Call us to schedule—we service the area regularly and can typically get you a quote within a week.
