Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A putting green on your rooftop deck in Oakwood transforms what's usually empty space into a genuinely usable outdoor room—especially here in Hall County where our summers are long and your deck gets serious sun exposure. We've installed quite a few of these in the Mundy Mill area and around Oakwood proper, and the response is always the same: homeowners suddenly spend way more time outside. The clay-heavy soil around here means your rooftop deck is already handling moisture challenges, so artificial turf eliminates the mud, the drainage headaches, and the maintenance grind. You're not cutting grass at elevation, not fighting the Georgia humidity's effect on natural turf, and not dealing with bare patches from foot traffic. Instead, you get a perfectly level, year-round playing surface that looks sharp from your kitchen window and actually gets used. We've found that rooftop putting greens work best when they're sized right for the space—whether you've got a modest 8x12 deck or something more generous—and matched to the sight lines from inside your home. Being fifty minutes from our shop in Oakwood means we know this territory well, and we've learned exactly how to spec these installations so they handle our local weather without drama.
Oakwood's clay-based soil is both an asset and a reality you need to plan around. Since your rooftop deck sits above all that Hall County clay, you're not fighting traditional ground-drainage problems—but you are dealing with reflective heat and intense afternoon sun exposure. That matters for turf color selection and backing type. Most rooftop decks in the Oakwood area benefit from infill systems that stay cooler underfoot and don't off-gas in our July heat. The Mundy Mill neighborhoods and properties around Lake Lanier all trend toward larger residential lots, which means some folks have genuinely spacious decks that can accommodate 12x15 or 15x20 putting surfaces. Others are working with tighter footprints. We size every installation to match actual use patterns and sightlines—no sense building a 16-footer if you're playing from 8 feet away. UV durability matters here; our Georgia sun is relentless. We spec turf with proven fade resistance and backing that won't break down after three seasons of rooftop exposure. Moisture management is also critical: standing water on a rooftop sounds impossible, but it happens during heavy spring rains. Proper slope and drainage backing prevent algae growth and keep the surface playable year-round.
A basic 10x12 installation typically runs 3,500 to 5,500 depending on deck condition, backing system, and infill choice. Oakwood properties in the Mundy Mill area often go 12x15 or larger, which puts you in the 5,500 to 8,500 range. We'll evaluate your specific deck, the subsurface, and any drainage work needed before quoting. Heat-resistant and UV-rated systems cost more upfront but outlast cheaper options in our climate.
Standard polyethylene turf absolutely does. That's why we spec cooler-backing systems and lighter-colored infills for rooftop decks here in Hall County. Some customers also add a thin shade structure or choose turf products with built-in heat-dissipation tech. We'll walk through the options so your deck stays usable even in July, not just functional.
Depends on your deck's age and condition. Most Oakwood residential decks built in the last 15 years can handle the weight—turf plus backing plus infill is roughly 15 pounds per square foot. Older decks sometimes need inspection or reinforcement. We'll assess your specific deck, check for rotting fascia or joists, and let you know if any structural prep is needed before we lay down turf.
Way less than you'd think. No mowing, no fertilizer. You'll rake the infill occasionally to redistribute it, rinse the surface if pollen builds up, and maybe spot-clean debris after storms. Hall County's clay dust and pollen can accumulate, so a quarterly rinse keeps it looking sharp. We'll show you exactly what to do so you're not guessing.
