Weekend Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in Austell deserves better than patchy grass and red clay dust. Whether you're in the heart of Austell proper or closer to the Six Flags area, a sport court built with premium artificial turf transforms how your family actually uses outdoor space—especially on weekends. We've installed dozens of courts across Cobb County, and we know exactly what holds up in our climate and soil conditions. The beauty of a weekend install is that by Sunday evening, your kids are playing on a surface that's ready to handle everything from basketball to badminton, rain or shine. No more muddy divots. No more waiting for the grass to recover. Just a clean, consistent playing surface that works as hard as you do. We're just 18 minutes away in the area, so we understand your neighborhood's vibe, your yard's unique challenges, and what it takes to make an installation stick in Cobb County clay. Let's talk about what a sport court could actually look like in your backyard.
Austell's soil composition—that heavy South Cobb clay—is exactly why artificial turf makes so much sense here. Unlike natural grass, which struggles with drainage and compaction in clay-heavy yards, a properly installed sport court gives you consistent performance year-round. We base our installations on a compacted crushed stone or recycled asphalt foundation that sits on top of your native clay. This prevents settling and ensures water moves through the system instead of pooling. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're surrounded by oaks near Sweetwater Creek or in more open lots toward the Six Flags corridor. We assess shade patterns during your consultation because it affects court orientation and which turf pile height works best for your specific setup. Most Austell residential lots range from half an acre to just over an acre, which gives us flexibility in court sizing. Weekend installs work particularly well here because we can prep, level, and install in 2–3 days before weather patterns shift. The transitional climate means you'll get heavy rain in spring and occasional ice in winter—both reasons why proper base prep and drainage are non-negotiable.
Yes, with proper planning beforehand. We schedule a site visit to assess your soil, measure the space, and plan drainage. Actual installation typically takes Friday afternoon through Sunday for a standard court. The concrete or asphalt base and turf can be laid in 2–3 days. Monday morning, you're ready to play. Having our crew stationed just 18 minutes away means we can respond quickly if any adjustments are needed post-install.
Cobb County clay requires a solid base layer—we can't skip that step. We compact crushed stone or recycled asphalt over your native clay to prevent settling and ensure drainage. This actually works in your favor because it stabilizes the court and prevents the spongy, uneven feel some yards experience. The clay also stays compacted in our transitional climate, which keeps your court level year after year.
Absolutely. Shade from mature oaks near Sweetwater Creek or other neighborhoods doesn't hurt artificial turf performance—it actually helps with heat management on hot Georgia days. What matters is drainage and a solid base. We'll orient the court and select turf pile height based on your specific shade patterns. You'll still get full usability without the algae or moss issues that plague shaded natural grass.
Most Austell lots can accommodate a court between 1,000 and 2,500 square feet. A standard half-court basketball setup is roughly 2,400 sq ft. We've built smaller recreational courts around 800 sq ft and full-size courts on larger properties. During your consultation, we'll map out what makes sense for your lot size, setbacks, and how you want to use the space.
