Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Dunwoody's rooftop and deck spaces are gold—especially in neighborhoods like Georgetown and Winters Chapel where lot sizes run smaller and every square foot counts. That shaded canopy over your deck? It's beautiful, but it's also why natural grass struggles up there. We've installed artificial turf on dozens of rooftop decks across DeKalb County, and we know exactly what works in this climate. The thing about Dunwoody is that you've got the humidity, the clay soil that doesn't drain like you'd want it to, and those mature trees creating filtered sunlight that real grass hates. Synthetic turf doesn't care. It thrives on your rooftop where nothing else will, gives you a clean, maintenance-free surface, and honestly transforms how you use that space. Whether you're near Perimeter Mall or tucked into the Winters Chapel area, we can get out to you, assess your deck's unique conditions, and build you a turf system that'll last without the watering, mowing, or mud tracking through your house.
Rooftop and deck installations in Dunwoody come with their own playbook. First, drainage is everything—our clay-heavy soil means the ground below stays wet longer, so your deck needs a system that sheds water fast. We slope and prep the subdase accordingly, which matters more on an elevated surface than anywhere else. Second, shade. Winters Chapel and Georgetown both have mature tree cover, and while that's gorgeous, it means your deck might get dappled or filtered light all day. We size your turf system to match that light exposure—full sun turf behaves differently than shade-tolerant blends, and we choose accordingly. Third, weight and structure. A rooftop deck carries load limits, so we work closely with what your deck can handle. We've done everything from lightweight rolls on second-story decks near Dunwoody Village to reinforced installations on commercial rooftops. Local HOAs in these neighborhoods tend to be reasonable about synthetic turf, especially on decks where it's purely functional. We'll pull any permits needed and make sure you're clear with your community rules before we break ground.
Mulch breaks down, gets blown around, and traps moisture on your deck surface—a recipe for mold and rot in our humid climate. Pavers work but they're hard, cold, and don't soften your footsteps. Artificial turf gives you a cushioned, attractive, low-maintenance surface that handles Dunwoody's weather. It won't stain, splinter, or degrade the way natural materials do on an elevated, exposed platform.
Dunwoody summers are hot, and yes, unshaded turf can warm up. That's why we recommend lighter-colored fibers and strategic shade (umbrellas, pergolas) if you're in full sun. Most of our rooftop decks in Georgetown and Winters Chapel sit under partial tree cover anyway, which keeps temperatures reasonable. We'll talk through your specific sun exposure when we assess the site.
Simple: hose it down occasionally, sweep debris, and that's most of it. In our climate, you might rinse it monthly to keep pollen and dust at bay. For the rare spill or pet accident, spot-clean with mild soap and water. Unlike natural grass surrounded by clay soil, you won't deal with mud tracking or lawn stains. It stays clean and usable year-round.
Absolutely. We've done dozens of second-story decks across DeKalb County. The key is working within your deck's weight rating and ensuring proper drainage so water doesn't pool or drip down to the level below. We assess your deck's structure, choose lightweight materials if needed, and install a system that's safe, secure, and built to last.
