Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Alpharetta backyard changes everything—especially if you're in neighborhoods like Windward or Crabapple where lot sizes actually give you room to build something meaningful. We've installed dozens of courts across North Fulton, and we see the same thing every time: families suddenly use their yards again. Basketball courts, pickleball setups, multi-sport surfaces—they all get serious use, particularly in the newer construction areas where homes were built with outdoor entertaining in mind. The thing that matters most, though, is longevity. Alpharetta's clay-heavy soil and Georgia's heat and humidity put real stress on artificial surfaces. You need turf that's engineered for our climate, installed by people who understand how our soil drains (or doesn't), and backed by a warranty that actually protects your investment. That's what separates a court that looks great for two years from one that performs for a decade. We're based about 30 minutes away and work in this area constantly, so we know exactly what works here and what doesn't.
Alpharetta's newer construction lots often sit on dense North Fulton clay, which is both a blessing and a challenge for sport courts. Clay doesn't drain like sandy soil, so proper base preparation isn't optional—it's foundational. We always factor in subsurface drainage when we're planning installations in the Avalon area or around Alpharetta City Center, where grading can be tricky on smaller lots. Summer heat here is intense, and artificial turf absorbs it differently than natural grass. If your court faces west toward afternoon sun, we'll recommend infill systems and surface treatments that keep temperatures manageable during peak play hours. Many HOAs in Windward and nearby communities have specific landscape guidelines, so we always confirm setbacks and finish heights before we break ground. Lot orientation matters too—shade patterns shift dramatically across seasons, affecting ball visibility and surface wear. The good news is that modern sport court systems are built for Georgia's humidity and UV exposure. A properly installed court with adequate drainage handles our weather exceptionally well, which is why the warranty and installation method matter as much as the materials themselves.
With proper installation and maintenance, 8–12 years is realistic for high-use courts in our area. Georgia's humidity and heat accelerate wear on lower-quality systems, but premium turf with solid drainage and professional installation handles our North Fulton climate well. Your warranty should cover defects in materials and workmanship for at least 7–10 years—anything less isn't sufficient for the investment.
Yes. Clay doesn't percolate like sandy soil, so we install a drainage base layer beneath every court here. Without it, water pools under the turf, breaks down the subsurface, and destroys your investment. It's not an upgrade—it's a requirement in neighborhoods like Crabapple where clay is dense. A proper base adds to upfront cost but prevents thousands in repairs later.
Most HOAs allow sport courts, but some require setbacks, specific finishes, or approval before installation. We always pull HOA guidelines before quoting. A few communities have restrictions on court size or color, so confirmation upfront prevents delays. Typically, courts set back from property lines and screened with landscaping pass without issue.
A solid warranty covers manufacturing defects, UV degradation, and seam integrity—the failure points we see most in Georgia's climate. It should be transferable if you sell, and it should protect against seam separation and infill loss. Our warranty specifics depend on turf grade and installation, but we never install anything we wouldn't warranty for at least 7 years in this market.
