Drainage — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Brookhaven homeowners know the reality: that red clay soil doesn't drain well, and a natural grass court turns into a muddy mess after rain. We've installed artificial sport courts throughout Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, and Drew Valley—neighborhoods where mature trees, tight lot lines, and those characteristic DeKalb clay conditions make traditional turf impractical. What started as a backyard basketball goal or tennis net often becomes a drainage nightmare. Our sport court systems solve that problem with engineered subsurface drainage that handles Georgia's heavy spring rains without pooling or settling. Unlike generic artificial turf, sport courts are built for performance—they're shock-absorbent, they won't clump or fade, and they play true season after season. We're familiar with Brookhaven's mix of established homes, some with restrictive HOA guidelines and others with more creative freedom. That means we've learned how to design courts that integrate with your landscape, respect your neighbors' sightlines, and actually improve your property value. Whether you're near Oglethorpe University or in the quieter sections of the neighborhoods, drainage is non-negotiable. We handle that first, then build a court surface that'll outlast the trends.
Brookhaven sits on heavy urban clay—the kind of soil that looks fine until it rains, then holds water like a bathtub. That's why we never cut corners on subsurface prep. We install a multi-layer drainage base: compacted stone, geotextile, and perforated subdrain lines that route water away from your court and foundation. The established neighborhoods here have big, old trees—great for shade, tough for installation logistics. We've navigated narrow driveways and overhead power lines in Historic Brookhaven more times than we can count. Lot sizes vary; some properties are generous, others are tight. We design courts to fit your actual space, not force a standard footprint. DeKalb clay also means we pay attention to grading and slope—the court surface itself must shed water toward those drainage channels. HOA rules in some Brookhaven sections restrict height or color; we work within those guidelines and have solutions that satisfy architectural review boards. Summer sun exposure is intense, but modern turf infills and backing resist UV degradation better than they did five years ago. Shade from mature oaks actually helps keep surface temperatures manageable.
Absolutely. DeKalb clay doesn't percolate naturally—water sits on top. Without proper subsurface drainage, your court becomes unusable after rain and surface settling compromises ball response. We install engineered drain systems that account for Brookhaven's heavy spring rainfall. It's not an upsell; it's the difference between a court that works and one that doesn't.
Depends on your community's rules, but most Brookhaven HOAs approve sport courts if they're set back appropriately and color-matched to neighborhood aesthetics. We've worked with several Historic Brookhaven and Ashford Park boards. Bring us your CC&Rs, and we'll design to spec. Rejection is rare when the plan respects property lines and sight lines.
A typical residential court takes 5–7 business days, depending on site prep complexity and soil conditions. Brookhaven yards often need additional grading or drainage work because of clay and slope, so we always survey first. We communicate the timeline upfront—no surprises.
Minimal. Brush and rinse occasionally to remove leaves and dust. Georgia's sun and humidity don't degrade modern infill and backing like older turf did. Our sport courts handle Brookhaven summers without color fade or performance loss. A well-drained court also dries faster after heavy rain.
