Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your pool deck or rooftop space in Tyrone deserves a surface that actually holds up to Georgia heat and foot traffic—not something that turns into a slippery mess or fades after one summer. That's where artificial turf comes in. Whether you're in the Shamrock area or closer to Tyrone Town Park, poolside turf has become the go-to choice for homeowners who want a soft, safe surface without the constant upkeep of natural grass around chlorinated water. The thing about Tyrone is that the soil here runs heavy with Fayette County clay, which means drainage becomes crucial around pool areas. Artificial turf solves that problem entirely—water runs right through, no standing puddles, no muddy edges tracking into your home. We've installed plenty of pool decks in subdivisions across the Tyrone area, and the homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. Your deck becomes a place your family actually uses year-round, not something you're nursing back to health every spring.
Tyrone sits in a zone where summer sun is relentless, and that matters for pool turf selection. Your rooftop or poolside deck gets exposure most of the day, so you'll want turf with excellent UV stability—no color shift, no brittleness when you walk barefoot in July. The Fayette County clay base under most Tyrone properties drains poorly on its own, but artificial turf actually works beautifully here because it has its own drainage layer. We typically install a rock base under the turf, which elevates everything above the clay and prevents water from pooling. If your deck is shaded—say, near mature oaks near Shamrock Park—you're in even better shape since the turf won't experience heat stress. Most residential decks in the area run 150 to 400 square feet, which is very workable. One thing to note: if your HOA has specific landscape guidelines, we'll work with those from the start. Turf around pools should be laid on a slight slope for drainage, and the perimeter should be secured well to handle foot traffic and water spray. We handle all of this during install, so your surface is safe and functional from day one.
It does get warm, but not unbearably so—especially if you choose a lighter-colored turf or keep it in partial shade. We recommend a shade structure or using pool-side misting systems if you're concerned. Most Tyrone homeowners add a few lounge areas with umbrellas anyway, which naturally solves the issue. The turf won't burn your feet like concrete or pavers would.
It handles them beautifully—much better than natural grass or wood. Chlorine, salt, and sunscreen don't degrade quality turf the way they damage other materials. Water runs straight through the backing layer into your drainage system. Just rinse it occasionally with fresh water, and you're good. No staining, no chemical damage.
Given Fayette County's clay soil, yes—drainage makes a big difference. We install a stone or gravel base layer that prevents water from sitting against the clay and causing issues. This is especially important for rooftop decks where water naturally collects. It's part of our standard install and ensures longevity.
A typical 200-300 square foot pool deck takes 2-3 days, depending on base prep and slope work. We're based about 40 minutes away, so we schedule accordingly. We'll discuss timeline during your consultation and stick to it.
