Money Back Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a sport court in Athens means working with what the Piedmont landscape throws at you—and we get it. Whether you're in Five Points, Normaltown, or out toward the Eastside, that red clay soil and thick tree canopy create real constraints for traditional grass courts. Our artificial turf sport courts solve what Mother Nature makes difficult here. We've installed courts for families tired of mud-stained tennis shoes, parents who want their kids shooting hoops year-round without waiting for the rain to drain, and homeowners who'd rather spend weekends playing instead of maintaining. The UGA campus sits right here, and we've learned what it takes to build athletic surfaces that handle Clarke County's humidity, the occasional hard freeze, and the kind of foot traffic that would destroy natural grass in a season. Our money-back guarantee isn't marketing fluff—it's our confidence that you'll actually use and love what we build. We handle the site prep, account for your specific sun exposure and yard layout, and deliver a court that looks sharp and performs like it should.
Athens' Piedmont red clay is dense and slow-draining, which means any sport court needs proper base preparation—we don't skip this step. The mature canopy trees throughout neighborhoods like Cobbham and around the State Botanical Garden create shade patterns that shift seasonally; we assess your court location in both summer and winter to position it where it gets genuine playability. Your soil compacts hard after rain, so surface water management is critical for longevity. Most residential lots in the Five Points and Normaltown areas sit between 8,000–15,000 square feet, which gives us good flexibility for 20×40 or 30×60 court footprints without eating your entire yard. Clarke County's humidity and occasional ice events mean we choose turf systems and infill materials tested for this specific climate—not generic Georgia conditions. Some HOAs in established neighborhoods have landscaping guidelines, so we coordinate early to make sure your court design checks their requirements. The red clay subsoil also affects drainage design; we've learned to account for it rather than fight it.
Absolutely. Modern sport-court turf is engineered for this exact climate pattern. The material doesn't rot or degrade from moisture, and ice slides right off without damaging the surface. What matters is proper base drainage—something we design specifically for Clarke County's red clay—so water moves through rather than pooling. We've built courts that have performed flawlessly through multiple Georgia winters.
It depends on the shade level and your sport. Heavy shade (under mature canopy most of the day) works best for multipurpose courts and lower-intensity play. Full sun areas are ideal for serious tennis or basketball. We visit your property, map the sun patterns across seasons, and recommend the best position. Sometimes moving the court 20 feet changes everything.
Base prep is the real time investment—we compact and level that red clay properly, which typically takes 3–5 days depending on yard size. The turf installation itself is usually 2–3 days. Rushing base work is why courts fail early. We build it right the first time, which is why our guarantee means something.
If your court doesn't perform as promised—surface doesn't play true, drainage fails, turf shows premature wear—we make it right at no cost. This covers installation defects and material failures for the first two years. It doesn't cover abuse, but it covers our work. We stake our reputation on Athens courts because we know what we're building.
