Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Conyers backyard transforms how your family plays. Whether you're in Olde Town Conyers or over near Honey Creek, that Georgia clay underneath your grass means proper base prep isn't optional—it's the foundation that keeps your court playable year after year. We've installed sport courts across Rockdale County, and we've learned that the east metro clay here demands a specific approach. Too many homeowners skip the base work and end up with courts that puddle after rain or shift under foot traffic. That's not happening on our watch. Your court sits on top of compacted, graded base material that sheds water properly and stays stable through summer heat and winter freeze cycles. Depending on your lot size and how close you are to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit or the Horse Park area, we'll design a court that fits your space and your family's sport of choice. Basketball, tennis, pickleball—the prep work is the same. We handle everything from soil assessment to drainage planning to final surface installation, so you get a court that actually works, not one that becomes a maintenance nightmare.
Conyers sits on Rockdale County clay, which is exactly what makes proper base preparation critical here. Clay doesn't drain like sandy soil in other parts of Georgia, so we build a multi-layer base: aggregate, geotextile, then compacted stone. This prevents the pudding effect that plague courts built on raw clay. The Conyers area gets solid sun most days, but properties backing up to tree lines (common in neighborhoods like Honey Creek) need shade mapping before installation. We assess whether your court will bake all afternoon or get relief from oak cover. Rockdale County's heat also means we choose turf systems rated for UV stability—cheaper synthetic doesn't hold color through August. Lot sizes vary here; some Olde Town Conyers homes have compact yards, while properties further out have room for full-size courts. We work within whatever footprint you have. The freeze-thaw cycle in winter matters too. Poor base prep causes heaving. Our base design accounts for water movement and soil settlement, so your court stays level even after a hard freeze.
Rockdale County clay holds water instead of draining through it. We layer crushed stone, geotextile, and compacted base material to create drainage paths that clay alone can't provide. Without this approach, courts here develop standing water and soft spots. It's not extra cost—it's standard for anyone building right in this soil type.
Typically 3–5 days depending on court size and existing yard condition. We excavate, compact, add base layers, and grade for drainage. Smaller courts in Olde Town Conyers neighborhoods finish faster than larger installations. Weather can add time if we hit rain during grading.
Many Conyers neighborhoods do have landscape guidelines. We help you navigate those—some require color-matched edging, setback distances, or height restrictions. Check your deed before we start, but most HOAs approve sport courts as long as they're maintained. We can design around specific requirements.
Yes. Conyers clay means water runs off the court surface, so we grade the surrounding area and sometimes install perimeter drainage. This keeps water from pooling at edges or running into neighbor yards. It's especially important if your lot is relatively flat or slopes toward structures.
