Military Discount — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Athens isn't just a college town—it's a place where families actually use their yards. Between the UGA campus energy and the tree-lined streets of Five Points and Normaltown, homeowners here understand the value of outdoor space that works year-round. That's where a sport court comes in. Whether you're in Cobbham looking to give your kids a dedicated place to shoot hoops, or on the Eastside wanting a multi-sport surface that handles Georgia's humid summers, artificial turf designed for athletic performance changes everything. We've installed courts across the Clarke County area, and we know what Athens yards actually need—drainage that handles our red clay base, durability against the Piedmont's intense sun, and surfaces that stay playable when natural grass just won't cut it. A sport court isn't a luxury add-on here; it's a practical solution for the way Athens families live. And for military families stationed in or around the area, we offer dedicated discounts because we respect your service.
Athens sits on Piedmont red clay, which means drainage is non-negotiable for any court installation. That clay base holds water, and Georgia's humidity in summer doesn't help. We engineer subsurface prep carefully—your court needs proper grading and base layer work so puddles don't become permanent features during August. The tree canopy here is beautiful but dense, especially in Normaltown and Five Points. Shade patterns shift seasonally, which affects how much direct UV exposure your court gets. We assess your specific lot and recommend turf grades accordingly. Most Athens yards are modest in square footage compared to suburban sprawl elsewhere, which actually makes sport courts perfect—you're maximizing a 20x40 or 30x50 footprint with genuine athletic utility. HOA rules in some neighborhoods require approval, so we handle those conversations early. The red clay also means your existing soil will need to be excavated and replaced with a compacted base; we account for that in every quote. Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on lot prep complexity.
Absolutely, but we don't build directly on it. Red clay compacts tight and holds moisture, so we remove the top layer, lay a proper crushed stone and compacted base, then install the turf system. That approach prevents water pooling and gives you a court that's playable year-round, even during our wet springs.
Yes—modern sport-court turf is UV-stabilized for exactly this climate. Between UGA's Sanford Stadium and the afternoon heat we get here, the material is rated for intense exposure. We'll help you identify shade patterns on your Eastside or Five Points lot so you know what to expect seasonally.
We honor military service with a dedicated discount on all court installations and materials. Bring your military ID or documentation, and we'll apply it directly to your project cost. No hoops—it's our way of saying thank you.
Smaller lots are actually ideal for sport courts. Many Normaltown and Five Points properties have tight square footage, so a 24x40 or 30x40 court becomes the centerpiece of the yard. We'll help you design dimensions that fit your space and maximize play area without overwhelming the landscape.
