Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Smyrna homeowners with rooftop decks and poolside entertaining spaces face a real problem: Georgia heat, that thick Cobb County clay, and the constant battle against slippery, muddy transitions between your deck and pool area. Artificial turf solves all three. Whether you're in Vinings, near Smyrna Market Village, or the neighborhoods around Jonquil Park, a synthetic turf installation transforms how you actually use your outdoor space. No more wet feet tracking clay through the house. No more brown patches from chlorine splash or constant foot traffic. The families we work with in the 30080 and 30082 zip codes tell us the same thing: they suddenly spend more time outside because the pool area actually works. It's not just about looks—though the turf stays vibrant year-round—it's about function. Rooftop and poolside turf needs different engineering than a lawn. Drainage, UV resistance, slip resistance when wet, durability under furniture and constant activity. We've installed hundreds of these in the Cobb County area and understand exactly what holds up under Smyrna's climate and how to prep those clay-heavy lots so water doesn't pool. Your deck becomes a real outdoor room.
Smyrna's clay-based soil is dense and doesn't drain naturally—that's your first consideration with any turf installation. When rain hits or you're rinsing the pool area, water doesn't percolate like it would in sandy soil. Our crews account for this with proper sub-base preparation and, for rooftop decks especially, engineered drainage systems that prevent water from sitting under the turf or backing up against your home's structure. The Cobb County sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're surrounded by mature trees (common in the Vinings side) or more open development near Market Village. We assess your specific microclimate—afternoon shade from neighbors' structures, reflection off the pool, hours of direct UV. UV-stabilized polyethylene and polypropylene fibers are non-negotiable here. Chlorine and salt from pool water accelerate degradation on cheaper materials. Your rooftop or poolside turf takes more abuse than a standard lawn: furniture feet, high foot traffic, chemical exposure, and temperature swings. We specify commercial-grade backing and face weight accordingly. Many Smyrna HOAs have landscape guidelines—especially in Market Village area communities—so we coordinate on color and pile height before installation. The infill system also matters; we typically recommend silica sand or rubber crumb depending on your pool chemistry and maintenance preference.
Not if you use the right material. We install UV-stabilized, chlorine-resistant synthetic fibers rated for pool environments. The turf itself won't degrade, but the infill and backing need to handle chemical exposure. We often recommend silica sand infill for pool areas rather than rubber crumb, since sand doesn't retain or absorb chlorine. Rinse the turf occasionally after heavy pool use and you're fine.
Absolutely. Rooftops are actually ideal for synthetic turf because we control the base layer completely. We build a proper drainage system on top of your deck structure, lay engineered backing, and install the turf. This keeps water from pooling and protects your roof. We've done dozens of rooftop and elevated deck installations in Vinings and around Market Village—it's a popular upgrade for entertaining spaces.
Clay doesn't drain, so we don't build directly on native soil. We excavate the top 3–4 inches, improve the base with gravel and a drainage layer, then install the turf. This prevents water from backing up—especially important in Smyrna where heavy rain is common. Proper base prep is what separates a turf that lasts 10+ years from one that fails in three.
Commercial-grade pool turf has a textured surface that grips wet skin. It's safer than concrete or smooth pavers when wet. We specify turf with higher slip resistance specifically for pool areas. That said, it will be slicker than natural grass when soaking wet, so supervising kids and using caution makes sense—common sense applies to any pool surface.
