Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Clarkston aren't just a nice-to-have—they're a game changer for families dealing with DeKalb County's compact lots and that heavy clay soil. We've installed dozens of courts across Downtown Clarkston and the Milam Park area, and here's what we've learned: artificial turf solves the mud problem that natural grass simply can't handle in our climate. Between the seasonal rainfall and the dense soil composition, most homeowners around the Clarkston Community Center area end up fighting drainage issues every spring. That's where a properly engineered sport court comes in. It gives your kids a reliable, all-weather surface for basketball, pickleball, or just running around without the maintenance headaches. Our warranty covers the turf, the sub-base system, and the drainage infrastructure—all the stuff that matters when you're building something that'll last 10-15 years. We're based just 25 minutes away, so we handle repairs, questions, and warranty claims without the runaround.
Clarkston's DeKalb clay is beautiful for trees but brutal for drainage. That compact soil means water sits instead of filtering through, which is exactly why artificial sport courts need a rock-solid base layer here. Most residential lots in Downtown Clarkston and around Milam Park are tighter than suburban neighborhoods, so we design courts that maximize playable space—usually 20x40 or scaled down depending on your lot. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on tree canopy in your neighborhood; we assess shade patterns during the design phase to recommend UV-resistant materials if needed. The good news: artificial turf doesn't care about the clay. Once we've built proper slope and sub-base drainage, your court stays playable even after heavy rain. Some Clarkston HOA rules require specific border finishes or colors, so we always pull those requirements upfront. Installation typically takes 5-7 days, and our crew is familiar with navigating the neighborhood's utility lines and lot configurations.
Yes. DeKalb County requires permits for anything that constitutes a structure or significant grading. We handle the permit application as part of our service—it's included in your warranty package. Turnaround is usually 2-3 weeks. We've worked with the city on dozens of projects around Downtown Clarkston, so we know the requirements and inspectors.
Clay actually makes proper drainage *more* important, not less. We install a 4-6 inch engineered base with gravel and perforated drainage pipe to prevent pooling. Once that's in, your turf stays dry and safe even during heavy DeKalb rainfall. The warranty covers sub-base performance, so you're protected if drainage fails.
We offer 10-year warranties on turf and 15-year warranties on the base system. Both cover material defects, seam separation, and drainage failure—the stuff that actually matters in our climate. Damage from misuse or severe weather events is excluded, but we'll walk through coverage details before you sign.
Usually, yes. Most Clarkston residential lots can accommodate a 20x40 court or smaller. We do a free site visit to check setbacks, utilities, and grading. If your lot's tight, we can customize dimensions—even 15x30 gives families a solid play surface. Drainage design adapts to whatever space you have.
