Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of Dacula homeowners are discovering that a backyard putting green transforms how they actually use their outdoor space—especially on rooftop decks and elevated patios where traditional grass struggles. Whether you're in the Rabbit Hill area or over toward Harbins, the reality is that East Gwinnett clay doesn't play nice with standard lawn maintenance, and a deck space has its own challenges that real turf simply can't handle. We've installed dozens of putting greens across Gwinnett County, and the ones that perform best are the ones tailored to your specific setup. A rooftop or elevated deck needs drainage that works with gravity, materials that won't shift under foot traffic, and a playing surface that actually feels like the real thing. The good news? This is exactly what we do. Our synthetic turf solutions give you that golf-course feel year-round without fighting clay soil, drainage headaches, or weather damage. Most of our Dacula clients say the same thing after installation: they wish they'd done it sooner.
Dacula sits in newer subdivision territory, which means most yards have that characteristic East Gwinnett clay base. If you've ever tried to maintain natural grass here, you know how quickly it either drowns in wet weather or hardens into concrete during dry spells. That clay reality is actually one reason a putting green makes so much sense—you're removing the variable entirely. For rooftop and deck installations, drainage becomes your primary concern. We slope the base layer to direct water away from the deck structure itself, and we use a perforated backing that prevents pooling. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether your deck faces the tree line or opens toward afternoon sun—we assess this during the site visit because it affects playability and surface longevity. Deck height also matters; wind patterns change with elevation, which influences how the ball rolls and how debris accumulates. HOA guidelines in Dacula subdivisions are typically relaxed about deck improvements, but we always verify before breaking ground. The newer neighborhoods around the Rabbit Hill and Harbins areas tend to have smaller lot sizes, so we often work within tight spatial constraints—something we've perfected over years of Gwinnett County installations.
Yes. We use premium synthetic turf rated for full sun exposure, and the material actually performs better on elevated decks because air circulates underneath. Dacula's summer heat won't degrade the turf quality if it's installed correctly. We've got installations on south-facing decks around the area that have held up beautifully for years. The backing we use resists UV breakdown far better than natural grass ever could.
We install a sloped base layer that channels water toward the deck's existing drainage system or toward the edges. The synthetic turf itself is perforated, so water passes through immediately—you won't get puddles or standing moisture. For rooftop decks, this is critical because you don't want water pooling near the deck structure. We handle the slope during installation so it's invisible to play but functional underneath.
Most deck improvements in Dacula don't require permits, but it depends on your HOA and whether the deck itself was permitted. We check with your HOA guidelines before scheduling—typically there aren't restrictions on turf installations. If your deck is older or in an area with specific guidelines, we'll verify that upfront. It's a five-minute call that saves headaches later.
A typical deck or rooftop project takes one to two days, depending on size and how much prep work the deck surface needs. We're about 40 minutes from central Dacula, so scheduling works smoothly. Most customers are putting and hosting on their new green by the weekend. We handle all the logistics—measurement, base prep, turf installation, and finishing work.
