Veteran Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become a game-changer for families across Alpharetta—especially in neighborhoods like Windward and Crabapple where newer construction means smaller, more intentional yard spaces. Whether you're in the Avalon area or near Alpharetta City Center, having a dedicated court for basketball, pickleball, or tennis right at home cuts out the drive time and gives your kids a safe, all-weather place to train or play. We've installed dozens of these in North Fulton, and here's what we've learned: the clay-heavy soil in this region actually requires careful prep work to ensure proper drainage and a level playing surface. That's where our experience matters. We handle everything from grading your specific lot to choosing the right turf blend for Georgia's humidity and sun exposure. Plus, if you're a veteran, we're proud to offer a meaningful discount on your full installation. No gimmicks, no fine print—just our way of saying thanks for your service while you're building something your family will use for years.
Alpharetta's North Fulton clay soil is dense and holds moisture longer than sandy soils, which means proper base preparation and drainage layers are non-negotiable for a sport court. We always recommend a crushed stone sublayer to keep that clay from creating puddles after heavy rain—and trust us, Georgia summers deliver. Your lot's slope matters too. Newer construction properties in Windward and Crabapple often have tighter grading, so we assess sun patterns and shade from trees before finalizing court orientation. Afternoon western exposure can get brutal, so turf color choice (darker synthetic blends tend to absorb more heat) is worth discussing. HOA communities near Avalon sometimes have specific rules about court dimensions, fencing, and color, so we always verify those restrictions upfront. Most residential courts here run 30×60 feet for a half-court basketball setup, though tighter lots might call for a 24×40 pickleball focus. The clay-to-turf transition also requires attention to edging and compaction—we don't cut corners on the foundation.
Absolutely. North Fulton clay compacts hard and sheds water poorly, so we always install a 4-6 inch crushed stone base with proper slope for drainage. Without it, you'll trap moisture under the turf, which creates soft spots and shortens the court's lifespan. We've seen too many yards in Crabapple and Windward go wrong because of skipped base prep.
We typically recommend a polyethylene blend rated for high heat and UV exposure—Georgia sun is relentless. Darker colors look sharp but run hotter; lighter tones stay cooler underfoot but show dirt faster. We'll walk your lot and show you samples so you can see how each performs in your specific yard conditions.
A full 30×60 court usually takes 5–7 working days from site prep through final turf install. Weather matters—if we hit a rainy stretch, we pause work to avoid muddying the clay base. We'll give you a firm timeline once we've assessed your lot.
Many Alpharetta communities do have guidelines on court size, fencing, lighting, and color. We always pull and review those docs before you sign a contract. It takes one conversation to confirm—way better than installing and then facing a violation notice.
