New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Brookhaven means thinking about your outdoor space from day one—and a sport court should be part of that conversation. Whether you're settling into Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, or Drew Valley, artificial turf for a dedicated court gives your family a year-round play area without the maintenance headaches that come with natural grass in DeKalb County's clay-heavy soil. We've installed sport courts across Brookhaven for families who wanted to maximize their investment in these established neighborhoods. A quality artificial turf court handles everything from basketball to multi-sport setups, and it actually performs better than natural grass in our humid Georgia climate. Since we're just 30 minutes away, we work with builders and new homeowners during the construction phase—the best time to plan grading, drainage, and court orientation. Your new Brookhaven home deserves a backyard that works as hard as you do, and a properly installed sport court delivers that from day one.
Brookhaven's soil composition—primarily DeKalb urban clay—actually makes artificial turf the smarter choice than fighting natural grass establishment. Clay compacts heavily and drains poorly, which means new sod struggles in these yards. Our artificial systems solve that: we engineer proper sub-base drainage that accounts for the clay layer underneath, preventing the pooling issues you'd see with conventional landscaping. Sun and shade patterns vary significantly across the neighborhoods here. Properties near Oglethorpe University and the older sections of Ashford Park tend to have mature tree canopies, while newer construction in Drew Valley often gets fuller southern exposure. We assess your specific lot orientation during the planning phase—afternoon sun intensity matters for player comfort and material longevity. HOA guidelines in Historic Brookhaven and some Ashford Park sections do have landscape rules, so we confirm court placement and materials meet those requirements upfront. Lot sizes in these neighborhoods range considerably, so court dimensions get customized. A 60' × 30' multi-sport court fits beautifully on many properties, but we've also done smaller 40' × 25' setups. The clay soil means we'll likely need 6–8 inches of gravel and sand base work, which we factor into timeline and planning when you're coordinating with your builder.
Absolutely—that's actually ideal. We coordinate with builders to time the court installation after grading and utilities but before final landscaping. This prevents conflicts with irrigation, electrical runs, and HOA approval processes. Many Brookhaven homeowners do this during the build phase, which streamlines everything and lets you move in with a finished court ready to use.
It absolutely does, but in your favor. Clay doesn't absorb water well, so we build a compacted base with drainage fabric and gravel that channels moisture away from the court surface. Without proper base engineering, natural grass fails here. Our artificial system accounts for this and actually performs better long-term than fighting Brookhaven's soil conditions with sod.
Some older sections have landscape guidelines we need to verify first. We'll pull and review your HOA documents to confirm court placement, color options, and screening requirements. Most communities allow courts in backyards; a few have restrictions on visibility from the street. We handle that conversation upfront so there are no surprises after installation.
For new construction homes in Brookhaven, we typically need 3–5 business days once the site is graded and cleared. If we're coordinating with your builder's timeline, we schedule around their other trades. The clay base work takes a bit longer than sandy soil, but we account for that in our estimates and work closely with your construction manager to keep things on schedule.
