Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Clarkston backyard transforms how your family plays. We've installed dozens across DeKalb County, and we've learned what works in neighborhoods like Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park area where lots tend to be compact and clay soil runs deep. Whether your kids want a basketball half-court, a multi-sport surface, or just a durable play zone that handles Georgia's wet winters, artificial turf gets the job done without the mud, weeds, or constant maintenance that natural grass demands around here. Most homeowners in Clarkston tell us the same thing: they wanted their kids outside more, but the yard couldn't keep up. Within weeks of installation, that changes. A well-built sport court becomes the neighborhood gathering spot—the place where games actually happen. We handle everything from site prep through final striping, and we're just 25 minutes away in DeKalb, so we stick around for questions, adjustments, and the long term.
Clarkston's clay-heavy soil is both a challenge and an opportunity. That dense, compact earth means excellent drainage baseline—water won't pool on your court—but it also means we need to prepare the subbase carefully so your surface stays level through freeze-thaw cycles and heavy summer rain. Urban lots here often run small, which actually suits sport courts well; a half-court takes maybe 1,200 square feet and fits snugly into most Milam Park and Downtown Clarkston yards. Sun exposure varies block to block, so we assess your property's shade patterns before recommending surface color and cushioning depth. Georgia heat means your court will see intense UV; we spec premium turf with UV stabilizers so the color holds through summer. One thing unique to this area: some properties have older underground utilities or shallow rock deposits. We always conduct a full site survey before breaking ground. HOA rules in certain Clarkston neighborhoods allow sport courts but may have stipulations on height, lighting, or perimeter. We handle those conversations so you're never caught off guard.
Absolutely. Clay actually drains well once compacted properly, and that's exactly what we do during prep. We add a gravel base, compact it in layers, and slope the court so water sheds quickly. Clarkston's dense soil is easier to work with than sandy lots because it holds its shape. We've built dozens of courts here without drainage issues.
Most of our Clarkston installs are half-court setups—roughly 30 feet by 40 feet. That's tight enough to fit on typical residential lots in the Milam Park and Downtown areas but big enough for real games. We can also do smaller zones or full courts if you have the room. We'll measure your property and show you exactly what fits.
No. We spec UV-stabilized, commercial-grade turf designed for southern climates. The heat actually helps it stay supple. Humidity means you'll rinse occasionally to keep it clean, but the court itself thrives. We've got 10+ year-old installations in nearby neighborhoods still performing like new.
Most projects take 5–7 business days from site prep to final stripes, depending on size and ground conditions. Since we're based 25 minutes away, we coordinate scheduling tightly so your yard isn't torn up for weeks. Weather in Georgia can delay pours, but we plan around that and stay transparent.
