Rooftop Deck — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Rooftop decks in Waleska are becoming the go-to spot for entertaining, and frankly, a putting green up there transforms the whole vibe. Whether you're in the Reinhardt University area or closer to the Funk Heritage Center side of town, we've installed enough backyard oases around Cherokee County to know exactly what works in your climate. A rooftop putting green isn't just about having a conversation starter—it's about maximizing that outdoor square footage when ground-level space is tight or the terrain is already working against you. The elevation actually works in your favor up there: better drainage, fewer shade issues from neighboring trees, and a genuine escape from the typical Georgia backyard. We've done this dozens of times across North Cherokee, and the homeowners in Waleska consistently tell us it's the best investment they made. If you're imagining morning putts with your coffee or casual rounds with friends on a Friday night, we can make that happen. The process is straightforward, the material is durable through Georgia's humidity, and the maintenance is so minimal you'll forget it's even there.
Waleska sits in that transition zone between North Cherokee's mountain clay and the lower-elevation soil types, which means your rooftop deck has some unique advantages. Clay-heavy drainage patterns that plague ground-level installations aren't your concern up there—rooftop putting greens handle water differently, and that's actually why they perform beautifully in this area. Sun exposure on rooftops is typically more consistent than ground-level yards, especially around the Reinhardt University neighborhoods where mature trees can shadow traditional lawns by mid-afternoon. That consistent light actually extends your turf's lifespan and keeps the playing surface predictable year-round. The bigger consideration is wind exposure at elevation—Waleska's mountain-adjacent location means rooftop decks can see gusts that ground-level yards don't experience. We account for this during installation by securing the turf perimeter properly and choosing pile heights that stand up to airflow. Deck size varies wildly in this area; we've worked on everything from compact 8-by-10 rooftop sections to sprawling 20-by-30 layouts. The footprint determines green complexity, but even smaller rooftop spaces become premium entertainment zones. Cherokee County's humidity is real, but artificial turf handles it without the fungal issues you'd see with natural grass.
Rooftop installations bypass your soil type entirely—drainage happens through the deck itself and your existing roof system. We install a permeable backing that channels water to your gutters, so the clay transition zone that causes problems at ground level doesn't affect rooftops at all. This is actually one of the biggest advantages of going vertical in Waleska.
Waleska's elevation means rooftop wind is real, but artificial turf is designed for it. We secure the perimeter with premium adhesive and mechanical fasteners, and we choose blade heights that withstand gusts without matting down. In five years of installs around Cherokee County, we haven't had wind-related issues on properly secured rooftop greens.
Technically possible, but structural capacity and waterproofing are critical. Your deck needs to handle the weight (turf plus infill), and any mistakes with seaming or base preparation tank the entire project. We've fixed enough DIY installs to know it's worth the professional touch—especially on rooftops where water damage gets expensive fast.
Brush it monthly to keep the pile standing upright, rinse it down during dry spells, and remove debris. Georgia's humidity won't cause mold or fungus on artificial turf like it does with natural grass. Most Waleska homeowners spend 15 minutes every few weeks on upkeep—that's genuinely it.
