Raised Bed Border — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
The rolling hills of Chattahoochee Hills give you that perfect canvas for a sport court—especially when you've got the space that comes with South Fulton estate living. Whether you're in the Serenbe community or out in the Rico area, a lot of homeowners here are thinking about how to make their backyards actually functional. Kids need somewhere to play basketball or practice tennis without tearing up the grass, and honestly, natural turf just doesn't hold up to that kind of traffic on these rolling lots. That's where a raised-bed sport court comes in. You build it slightly above grade, which handles drainage beautifully in our climate, gives you a clean, defined play surface, and—this matters in Chattahoochee Hills—it looks intentional. Professional. Like you actually planned your outdoor space instead of it just happening. We've installed these all over South Fulton, and the homeowners who go with the raised-bed approach love how it defines their yard and performs year-round.
Chattahoochee Hills sits on some genuinely rolling terrain, which means grading and drainage are real considerations when you're planning a sport court. The soil underneath those beautiful estate lots tends to be clay-heavy with decent slope—that's actually why a raised-bed border works so well here. You're not fighting the natural grade; you're working with it. The Serenbe area and Rico neighborhoods see good sun exposure on most lots, but you'll want to account for tree coverage if you're near Cochran Mill Park or have mature landscaping. Our raised-bed systems handle the South Fulton clay beautifully because you're installing the base on top of the existing grade rather than excavating into it. That saves you time, money, and means you don't hit unexpected rock or compacted clay layers. Most Chattahoochee Hills lots have room for regulation courts without eating into your entire backyard, and the raised border gives you that crisp edge that fits the more curated aesthetic a lot of these properties have. We typically recommend engineered base layers that shed water quickly—important in our humid climate—and the turf itself handles the summer heat and occasional freeze cycles we get.
Serenbe has architectural guidelines, so you'll want to confirm dimensions and materials before installation. Rico-area properties tend to have fewer restrictions, but we always recommend checking with your development office first. We handle the permits and can advise on what typically gets approved in your specific neighborhood.
Instead of fighting clay by digging deep, we build the court base on top of your existing grade with proper drainage underneath. The raised edges naturally shed water away from the playing surface. This approach works great on the rolling hills here and avoids the headache of clay excavation.
Absolutely. Modern sport-court turf is engineered for Georgia's climate. It won't hold summer heat the way blacktop does, drains quickly after rain, and doesn't develop algae or mold issues even with our humidity. The raised base keeps air moving underneath, which helps a lot.
A typical raised-bed court takes 5-7 days depending on lot conditions and size. We're about 45 minutes from your area, so we schedule these efficiently and handle all the grading, base work, and turf installation start to finish. Most homeowners have a playable court within a week or two.
