Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your dog's been staring at that muddy patch behind the deck all summer, and honestly, so have you. Here's the thing about Dunwoody yards—they're beautiful, but they take a beating. Between the Georgia heat, the shade from all those mature trees in Georgetown and Winters Chapel, and the clay soil that turns into concrete when it dries, natural grass on a rooftop deck or ground-level patio just doesn't cut it for active pets. That's where pet turf comes in. We've installed artificial grass for dozens of Dunwoody homeowners who wanted a low-maintenance, mud-free zone where their dogs could actually play without destroying the landscape. It drains fast, stays green year-round, and your pup gets a safer, softer surface than concrete. Whether your deck overlooks Perimeter or you're tucked into one of the quieter neighborhoods around Winters Chapel, pet-friendly artificial turf is the move. No dead spots from urine, no brown patches, no replanting every spring. Just a clean, durable playing surface that handles Georgia's humidity and your dog's claws without flinching. We've been doing this for years, and we know exactly what works in Dunwoody's climate and soil conditions.
Dunwoody's DeKalb clay is dense and heavy—it doesn't drain the way you'd hope, especially after rain. That's actually one of the biggest reasons pet turf wins here. On a rooftop deck or patio, you're fighting both the clay base and potential water pooling from above. Quality pet turf systems include a permeable backing and proper base preparation that we customize for Dunwoody's conditions. Shade is another big factor. Between the mature oaks and pines in Georgetown and around Winters Chapel, many yards only get 4–6 hours of direct sun. Natural grass struggles with that; artificial turf thrives regardless. We choose UV-stabilized blades rated for Georgia's heat and humidity, so the grass doesn't fade or get brittle during our hot summers. For deck installations near Perimeter or in the denser neighborhoods, we're also mindful of HOA rules—some communities have strict landscape guidelines. We can work with those requirements and often have pre-approved options. Most residential decks in the area are 12×16 to 20×20 feet, so we've got installation down to a science here.
Absolutely. We use marine-grade backing and UV-protected fibers rated for the Southeast. Dunwoody's summer heat won't degrade quality pet turf the way it beats up natural grass. The drainage backing keeps moisture from sitting underneath, which matters in our humid climate. Most systems we install last 10–15 years with minimal fading.
That's the key question for deck installations. We slope the base slightly and use a perforated underpads that channel water toward existing deck drains. DeKalb clay doesn't absorb quickly, so proper sub-base prep is non-negotiable. We've done dozens of Dunwoody deck projects—we know how to pitch it right.
For decks and high-traffic patios, yes. Natural grass dies from urine concentration; artificial doesn't. Your dog gets a non-slip, cushioned surface that's easier on joints than concrete. In Dunwoody's shade, natural grass would be thin and spotty anyway. Pet turf stays green, clean, and playable year-round.
A standard 16×20 deck or patio usually takes one full day. We remove old sod if needed, prep and level the base, install the underpads, and lay the turf. We're just 28 minutes from most Dunwoody neighborhoods, so scheduling is convenient. Turnaround is typically within 1–2 weeks of your call.
