Curb Appeal — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Alpharetta backyard isn't just about having a place to shoot hoops or practice tennis—it's about transforming how your family actually *uses* that outdoor space. We've installed courts throughout North Fulton, from Windward to the Crabapple area, and what strikes us most is how homeowners suddenly realize their yards had untapped potential. Your property in Alpharetta likely sits on newer construction with decent square footage, but that doesn't automatically mean it's court-ready. The clay-heavy soil we dig through here, the shade patterns that shift with your neighbors' trees, and the specific HOA guidelines in communities near Avalon all factor into whether your court becomes the neighborhood's favorite gathering spot or a regretted expense. We've worked with enough families in the 30004, 30005, and 30022 ZIP codes to know what actually works—and what doesn't. The difference between a court that gets used for years and one that becomes a storage area comes down to thoughtful placement, realistic surface selection, and installation that accounts for Alpharetta's specific drainage challenges. Let's talk about what your yard can become.
Alpharetta's soil composition—that dense North Fulton clay—plays a bigger role in your sport court installation than you might think. Clay doesn't drain the way sandy soil does, which means we're not just laying turf on top of existing grade. We're building a proper base that accounts for how water moves (or doesn't move) through your yard after heavy rain. If you're in one of the newer subdivisions near Crabapple or closer to the Avalon area, your lot was likely graded and compacted during development, so we've actually got a predictable foundation to work with—that's a plus. Sun exposure in Alpharetta varies wildly depending on whether you've got mature oaks shading your space or you're in an open-lot situation. A court that gets hammered by afternoon sun all summer will wear differently than one with dappled shade. Many Alpharetta HOAs, particularly in established neighborhoods, have specific language around landscape modifications, so we always verify those rules upfront. Your yard size matters too—some properties have the square footage for a full court, others need a half-court or practice area. We size and position every installation based on your actual usable space, not some generic template.
Clay definitely demands respect. We install a perforated base layer that channels water away from the playing surface rather than letting it pool. In areas like Windward and near Alpharetta City Center where clay is dense, this prep work makes the difference between a court that plays well year-round and one that gets squishy after rain. Proper grading toward swales or drainage runs is non-negotiable here.
Most HOAs allow turf courts, but the devil's in the details. Some require setback distances, color approval, or height restrictions on perimeter fencing. We pull those documents early and work within the actual rules, not assumptions. Happens faster than you'd think, and it saves headaches before installation begins.
Newer construction lots in the 30022 and 30009 ZIP codes typically run a quarter to half acre of usable backyard. A half-court (about 2,500 sq ft with clearance) fits most properties comfortably. Full courts need more breathing room. We measure your actual space and show you what's realistic, including sightlines from your patio and driveway access.
Same day, in most cases. Alpharetta's climate—once summer heat hits—actually helps turf settle quickly. We're thorough during installation, so there's no extended curing period. Families in the area start using courts immediately, though we give you care guidance for the first few weeks to ensure longevity.
