Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A rooftop putting green in Dunwoody changes everything about how you use your deck space. Instead of staring at shingles or weathered wood, you're looking at pristine turf that invites you outside for a quick nine holes before breakfast or after work. We've installed dozens of these in the Dunwoody area—from Georgetown's tree-lined lots to the more open yards around Winters Chapel—and homeowners consistently tell us it becomes their favorite spot on the property. The beauty of artificial turf on a rooftop deck is that you're not fighting DeKalb's notorious clay soil or the afternoon shade that makes real grass struggle. Your deck already has the structure; we just add the playable surface. Most Dunwoody homes sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots where outdoor space is premium, so maximizing your rooftop means reclaiming real estate that would otherwise collect leaves and go unused. Installation is cleaner than you'd think, drainage is built in, and maintenance is virtually zero once we're finished.
Dunwoody's proximity to Perimeter Mall and the I-285 corridor brings dense suburban development and plenty of shade from mature oaks and pines. That's great for your home's cooling in July, but it's terrible for living grass. Rooftop decks actually sidestep this problem entirely—you're above the tree line and getting full southern exposure, which is perfect for artificial turf performance. The real consideration is structural capacity. Most Dunwoody homes were built in the '80s and '90s with standard residential framing. Artificial turf is lighter than you'd expect, but we always recommend a structural engineer's sign-off before we schedule installation, especially if your deck already hosts a hot tub or serves as your entertaining hub. Wind can be a factor too; we're close enough to ridgelines that rooftop gusts in Georgetown and the higher elevations around Winters Chapel require proper infill and seaming. DeKalb's clay soil is irrelevant for a deck installation, but drainage beneath the turf matters—we slope everything properly so standing water never becomes an issue. HOA rules in some Dunwoody neighborhoods require pre-approval for exterior changes, so we handle those conversations with your homeowners association.
Modern artificial turf is UV-stabilized and holds color far better than it did ten years ago. Rooftop exposure means full sun, which is ideal for maintaining that green. You'll see minimal fading over 8–10 years, especially compared to what real grass endures in Dunwoody's intense summers. We use premium turf products built for climates hotter than ours.
We install a perforated backing beneath the turf that channels water to your existing deck drainage or gutters. In Dunwoody's rainy springs, this matters. If your deck slopes at all, we work with that grade. Standing water won't pool, and algae growth is virtually eliminated. Most homeowners never think about it after installation.
It depends on the deck's age and condition. Homes built in Georgetown or Winters Chapel in the '80s often have solid pressure-treated framing that handles the modest weight of artificial turf. We always recommend a structural inspection first—it's worth the peace of mind and prevents expensive surprises.
Minimal. Occasional leaf blowing, maybe a rinse-off after pollen season or heavy rain. No mowing, no fertilizer, no fungal issues from our humid summers. Rooftop location means fewer pests than ground-level installations. Most people touch theirs once or twice a month at most.
