Playground — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Brookhaven residents have watched their neighborhoods evolve over decades—from the tree-lined streets of Historic Brookhaven to the manicured yards of Ashford Park and Drew Valley. That same care and attention to detail is what drives families here to invest in their outdoor spaces. A sport court isn't just a court; it's where your kids learn to shoot, where neighborhood games happen, where you reclaim your backyard from Georgia heat and clay maintenance. We've installed dozens of courts throughout DeKalb County, and we understand what Brookhaven homeowners actually need: durability against that dense urban clay, proper drainage so summer storms don't turn your court into a pond, and a surface that looks polished enough for the community you live in. Most yards in this area sit between a quarter and half acre, which gives us plenty to work with. Whether you're near Town Brookhaven or tucked into one of the quieter pockets near Oglethorpe University, we can design a court that fits your space, your budget, and the way your family actually uses it.
DeKalb's clay-heavy soil is beautiful for mature trees but brutal for traditional grass courts. When we prep a site in Brookhaven, we're not just laying turf—we're building a foundation that handles red clay expansion and the moisture retention that comes with it. Most properties here have partial shade from established oaks, which works in your favor; direct sun all day means more heat buildup and faster UV degradation. We typically recommend a slight crown for drainage, especially in Historic Brookhaven where older homes sometimes settle unevenly. HOA guidelines in Ashford Park and Drew Valley tend to be reasonable about recreational improvements, but we always verify before breaking ground. Brookhaven yards are rarely oversized, so we work efficiently—accessing side yards without tearing through landscaping, staging materials strategically, and coordinating with your neighbors if they share a property line. The 30-minute drive from our shop means we're local enough to handle warranty calls quickly but not so close that we're overpriced. Summer humidity here hits hard, so proper base preparation and infill selection make the difference between a court that lasts five years and one that lasts fifteen.
Not typically. Most Brookhaven HOAs—especially in Ashford Park and Drew Valley—approve sport courts readily because they're seen as neighborhood amenities that boost property values. We handle the submission paperwork and can usually get approval within two weeks. Historic Brookhaven tends to have fewer restrictions. We'll verify your specific requirements before you commit.
Clay compacts and holds water, so we build up the base with proper gravel layers and slope the court slightly for runoff. Without this step, you'd see pooling after heavy rain. We've done this hundreds of times in DeKalb; it's standard for us but critical to get right. That's why local experience matters.
We recommend acrylic or polyurethane depending on your use—acrylic is forgiving for casual play and holds up well in Georgia's sun, while polyurethane gives you that professional feel if you're serious about performance. Both handle our humidity better than older rubber surfaces. We'll match it to whether you're building for kids or competitive players.
Most properties here are 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so a regulation court is tight. We design half courts, three-quarter courts, and compact layouts that work beautifully in real neighborhoods. Many families prefer a multipurpose surface for basketball, tennis, or four square anyway. Let's measure your space and show you what's possible.
