Holiday Ready — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Buford backyard transforms how your family spends the holidays and beyond. Whether you're in the Mall of Georgia neighborhoods or closer to Lake Lanier's south shore, a dedicated court space means your kids actually stay home instead of driving across town for rec league practice. The clay-heavy soil common to Gwinnett County drains differently than you'd think, which is exactly why professional installation matters—we handle that foundation work so your court stays playable year-round, rain or shine. The neighborhoods around here tend toward larger lots with good southern exposure, giving us plenty of room to work with. Holiday gatherings take on a whole new energy when you have a court ready for basketball, pickleball, or tennis right outside your back door. No more excuses about weather or darkness—proper turf and lighting make December and January just as usable as September.
Buford sits on Gwinnett's characteristic red clay, which holds moisture longer than sandy soils further south. This actually works in our favor for sport court installation—that dense base compacts well and provides excellent support for synthetic turf systems. What it means for you: drainage planning is non-negotiable. We slope every court properly so standing water (common during Georgia's wet springs) doesn't pool at the edges. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether your lot faces the Lake Lanier side or backs toward the mall area developments. A court on the north side of your house needs different lighting strategy than one catching all-day southern sun. Most Buford residential lots run between half-acre and two acres, giving homeowners flexibility with court positioning—we often nestle courts into underutilized corners or side yards. HOA guidelines in the Mall of Georgia area neighborhoods tend to be specific about perimeter fencing and color schemes, so we coordinate those details early. The clay base here also means winter freeze-thaw cycles are gentler than up north, which extends the lifespan of your investment considerably.
Absolutely. That clay compacts well but drains slowly, so we engineer proper sub-base grading and often add engineered stone layers to prevent moisture pooling. The clay actually provides excellent support once properly prepared—it's just different from sandy soils. We've installed dozens of courts across Gwinnett and know exactly how to work with local conditions.
Most residential properties in the Mall of Georgia area and Lake Lanier neighborhoods can accommodate a half-court (around 47 x 50 feet) or a smaller multipurpose court easily. Full courts need roughly 5,000 square feet of space. We'll walk your property and show you options that work with your actual lot size and HOA guidelines.
Fall and spring are ideal since we avoid heavy summer heat and winter wet spells. That said, our crews work year-round. If you're planning a holiday gathering, we can prioritize scheduling to have it ready—just reach out early so we fit you into the calendar.
Yes, but we design differently for shade. Turf performs well in dappled light, though full sun courts dry faster and stay more uniform. Lake Lanier-side properties often have mature trees; we work around them and sometimes recommend lighting if afternoon shadows are heavy.
