Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sandy Springs North sits in that sweet spot where Dunwoody borders meet the Abernathy corridor—a mix of established commercial properties, mixed-use developments, and newer construction. If you've got a rooftop deck, a loading area, or an outdoor break space that needs to handle foot traffic year-round without the mud and maintenance nightmare, artificial turf is a game-changer. We've installed turf on everything from office building terraces overlooking Morgan Falls to retail courtyards near North Springs MARTA. The clay-heavy soil up here in North Fulton means natural grass either drowns during heavy rain or cracks during dry spells. Artificial turf skips both problems. You get a clean, professional-looking surface that drains properly, needs zero fertilizer, and actually reduces your maintenance budget. Whether you're managing a small commercial lot or a larger rooftop project, we handle the whole thing—site assessment, drainage planning, installation, and follow-up care. We're based 28 minutes away, which means fast response times and crews who know the local building codes and property manager expectations.
Sandy Springs North's North Fulton clay is dense and compacted—that's actually ideal for artificial turf installation because it provides a stable base. But here's the thing: that same clay doesn't drain naturally, so proper substrate prep under your turf is non-negotiable. We always install a perforated drainage layer before laying turf, especially on rooftop decks where water pooling could damage your building's membrane. Sun exposure varies across the Abernathy corridor. South-facing decks get intense afternoon heat, which our commercial-grade turf handles without fading or becoming uncomfortably hot to walk on. Shaded areas near tree lines don't have drainage issues but do need turf that holds color without direct sunlight—we spec accordingly. Most commercial properties in this area have HOA or property management guidelines around landscape appearance and material choices. We've worked with dozens of local managers who require specific turf pile heights and colors. Rooftop installations require wind-load calculations and weight distribution planning—common for multi-story buildings near the MARTA corridor. We handle all structural coordination with your property management or facilities team. Installation timelines typically run 3–5 days depending on deck size and existing surface prep.
Rooftop surfaces naturally absorb heat, but quality commercial turf with adequate drainage and a light-colored backing stays manageable. We use infill blends and backing materials rated for high-heat exposure. Our installations near Morgan Falls and the Abernathy corridor have proven stable even during hot stretches. Drainage underneath prevents heat reflection, and the turf pile design keeps surface temps reasonable for employee foot traffic.
Clay compacts well, which is actually helpful for base stability. The challenge is drainage. We always install a perforated subsurface layer to channel water away from your building's foundation or rooftop membrane. Without this step, clay holds water and creates pooling issues. Our site assessment always includes soil analysis so we design drainage specific to your property's grading.
Minimal. No mowing, no fertilizer, no seasonal treatments. We recommend occasional brushing to keep the pile upright (especially in high-traffic areas near MARTA or office entries) and debris removal after storms. For rooftop decks, we inspect drainage annually. Most commercial clients budget for a professional turf refresh every 8–10 years, depending on foot traffic volume.
Usually, yes. We assess the current membrane condition and grading first. If your roof drains well and the surface is structurally sound, we can overlay turf with proper weight distribution and a new drainage layer. Older roofs or heavily trafficked areas sometimes need prep work. We'll walk you through options and timeline during the site visit.
