Balcony — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your Smyrna balcony or small patio space doesn't have to be boring concrete or dead grass. A custom putting green transforms even the tightest urban footprint into something you'll actually want to spend time on—especially in neighborhoods like Vinings and around Market Village where homes sit close together and outdoor real estate is precious. Here's the thing: most of us in the Atlanta area deal with Cobb County's heavy clay soil and tricky drainage, which makes maintaining a natural grass green nearly impossible on a balcony or confined patio. Artificial turf eliminates that headache entirely. You get the look and playability of a real green without watering, mowing, or fighting Georgia's humidity and summer heat. We've installed putting greens on everything from second-story balconies to tight courtyard spaces throughout Smyrna. The installation is straightforward, the durability is genuinely impressive, and honestly—it's one of the best ways to reclaim underutilized outdoor space. Whether you're near Jonquil Park or tucked into one of the quieter residential pockets off Concourse Parkway, we can design and build a green that fits your exact space and skill level.
Smyrna's Cobb County clay is dense and doesn't drain the way you'd want for a putting green. That's partly why balcony and elevated deck greens work so well here—you're bypassing the soil problem entirely and working with a clean substrate underneath your turf. For balcony installations, we focus on proper base preparation and slope to handle Georgia's rain and humidity. The Market Village and Vinings areas get decent afternoon sun, which is actually good for artificial turf performance—it keeps the pile from matting down in shaded, damp conditions. Urban drainage around your building is another consideration; we'll route any water runoff away from your structure so it doesn't puddle or create mold concerns. Most Smyrna properties we work with have standard HOA landscape guidelines, and good news—artificial putting greens almost always fall within those rules since they're contained, low-maintenance, and don't attract pests. Deck and balcony size varies here from compact 80-square-foot setups to generous 200+ square-foot spaces. We'll assess your actual usable area and recommend green size, contour complexity, and backing materials based on foot traffic and sun exposure unique to your building's orientation.
Yes, if it's built right. We use perforated backing and slope the base slightly toward a drainage channel or edge. Cobb County's clay means standing water is a real concern around homes, but on an elevated balcony with proper prep, water moves through the turf and out quickly. We've handled this successfully in Vinings and Market Village areas where humidity and rain are both significant factors.
Absolutely doable. The turf itself is lightweight—it's the base materials (sand, infill, backing) that add weight. A typical 120-square-foot green runs 300–400 pounds total, easily within most balcony load ratings. We'll verify your deck specs and design accordingly. Many Smyrna properties we've worked with are perfectly suited for second-story installation.
Direct sun is actually beneficial for artificial turf. It prevents moisture buildup and keeps the pile upright, giving you better roll consistency. Unlike natural grass in humid, shaded conditions, synthetic turf performs more reliably in afternoon heat and light. We've found Smyrna's sun exposure works in your favor for green playability.
In most Smyrna communities, yes. HOAs rarely object to artificial greens because they're self-contained, don't require maintenance equipment, and don't create noise or drainage issues. We recommend checking your specific guidelines, but we haven't encountered common restrictions for balcony and patio greens in the Market Village or Vinings neighborhoods.
