Summer Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Here's the thing about summer in Clarkston—your kids want to be outside, but they also want to actually *play* instead of melting on the driveway. A sport court with artificial turf solves that problem without eating up your weekends with maintenance. We've installed these all over DeKalb County, and Clarkston homeowners in the Downtown area and around Milam Park get it right away: you get a usable play surface that doesn't turn into a mud pit when the afternoon storms roll through, and your family actually uses it all season long. Whether you've got a compact urban lot or a bit more breathing room, we can design something that fits your space and your budget. The Clarkston Community Center proves people here care about accessible recreation—your backyard sport court follows that same philosophy. Summer's already here, and the best time to have this installed was yesterday. The second-best time is right now, before the really intense heat kicks in and before your neighbors beat you to it.
Clarkston's got that heavy DeKalb clay soil that a lot of folks deal with around here, which actually makes proper drainage during installation pretty critical. Urban lots in Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park neighborhoods tend to run smaller, so we often design courts that double as a hardscape feature—something that looks intentional, not squeezed in. The shade patterns matter too; if you've got mature trees (which a lot of established Clarkston homes do), we assess sun exposure and recommend turf specs that handle partial shade better. Summer heat here means the surface gets real, so we typically install systems with better heat reflection if you're doing a lot of afternoon play. Most of our Clarkston installs happen on lots under 2,000 square feet of available space, which means we're really strategic about court size, orientation, and perimeter finishing. We handle the clay grading work ourselves—no surprises, no digging up half your yard during install, and we're usually done in one to two days depending on site conditions.
Absolutely. Tight lots are actually our specialty in Clarkston—we see it all the time around Downtown and near Milam Park. We can build courts as small as 20x30 feet or customize the shape to your space. Some people do a narrower court that still lets them run a baseline or play half-court, others go for a multipurpose setup. We'll measure your space and show you options that actually make sense for your yard.
Clay soil means we need to handle drainage carefully—it doesn't absorb water like sandy soil does. We install a perforated underdrain system and grade the base properly so water moves away from the court instead of pooling underneath. It's extra work upfront, but it keeps your court from becoming a swamp after summer thunderstorms, which we all know happen here.
We're about 25 minutes from Clarkston, so we handle jobs here regularly. Most installations take one to two days depending on site prep and your specific court setup. We can usually schedule summer installs within two to three weeks if you're not running into major conflicts. We try to beat the real heat, so early summer is ideal timing.
That depends on your neighborhood—some areas around Clarkston have guidelines, others don't. We've worked with Clarkston residents whose HOAs required specific colors or finishes, and we know how to navigate that. During your initial consultation, let us know if you've got an HOA, and we'll factor that into our design before we break ground.
