Forever Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Picture this: it's Saturday morning in Riverstone, and your kids are already asking if they can shoot hoops or practice their serve. A sport court in your backyard turns that fantasy into reality. We've installed dozens of these throughout Canton, and every single homeowner tells us the same thing—they wish they'd done it sooner. Whether you're in Harmony on the Lakes or closer to downtown Canton, a dedicated sport court gives your family a reason to stay home instead of driving across town to the rec center. The Cherokee County landscape has some quirks—that red clay soil, the rolling terrain, the mix of sun and shade through the afternoon—but we've learned exactly how to work with it. A properly installed court handles our Georgia weather, drains like it should, and plays true for years. Your kids get their own court. You get your weekends back. And honestly, your property value gets a real boost too.
Canton's rolling topography and that signature red clay mean we have to be thoughtful about drainage and base prep. Most yards here have a slight slope, which is actually good for a sport court—water naturally moves away from the playing surface instead of pooling. We assess your specific lot during the site visit because every property is different, especially between Riverstone's larger estates and some of the more compact setups closer to downtown. Sun exposure matters too. June through August, that Georgia heat is relentless, so we often orient courts to minimize afternoon glare and recommend lighter court colors in full-sun yards. The red clay soil itself requires a solid compacted base layer—it shifts more than sand or loam, so we don't skip that step. Most Canton yards can accommodate a half court (about 2,000 sq ft) or a full court (4,000+ sq ft). We've worked around mature oaks, septic systems, and existing deck layouts. Your HOA rules matter: some neighborhoods have aesthetic guidelines, so we'll walk you through color options and setbacks before we break ground.
Absolutely. That red clay is dense and doesn't drain naturally, which is why base preparation is critical. We excavate, compact, and install a permeable base layer that channels water away instead of letting it pool. The court surface itself is engineered for drainage. We've installed courts on properties all over Cherokee County with zero water problems—even in heavy rain.
Slope is actually your friend here. We grade and level the playing surface while using the existing terrain to our advantage—water runs off naturally instead of pooling. We've built courts on slopes throughout Canton and Riverstone. A steeper grade might cost a bit more in grading work, but it's totally doable and often prevents drainage headaches.
A typical half court takes 3–5 days once we start. A full court runs 5–7 days depending on site conditions and weather. We're based 25 minutes from Canton, so scheduling is easy. We'll give you a firm timeline before we begin so you know exactly when your court will be ready to use.
We typically spec acrylic or polyurethane surfaces rated for high heat and UV exposure. Lighter colors (like gray or tan) stay cooler underfoot during summer. The surface is designed to grip even when slightly damp from morning dew. We'll recommend the right finish based on your sport and sun exposure—no one-size-fits-all answer.
