Fall Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Crabapple homeowners have been asking us about sport courts for years—especially as fall rolls around and kids are back into basketball, pickleball, and tennis season. The thing about those rolling clay lots in North Fulton is that they're beautiful for estates, but they're not always ideal for the wear and tear of a full-court setup. That's where artificial turf comes in. We've installed dozens of courts in the Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Falls areas, and the transformation is remarkable. Unlike natural grass, which gets chewed up by repeated foot traffic and doesn't handle Georgia's humidity well, synthetic turf stays playable year-round. You get consistent ball response, minimal maintenance, and a surface that handles everything from early-morning dew to afternoon summer heat. A lot of families in your neighborhood are choosing this route because it actually preserves the value of those larger estate lots while creating a functional, professional-quality play surface. We're just 35 minutes away, so we handle installs and service calls regularly—no long wait times, no unfamiliar crews.
Crabapple's terrain is mostly rolling clay with significant elevation changes across most residential lots. That's great for drainage—you won't have standing water issues that plague flatter areas—but it does mean base preparation is critical. Our crews account for the natural slope and make sure the sub-base is compacted properly so your court stays level and safe. The tree coverage varies dramatically depending on whether you're near Birmingham Falls Elementary or further into the Crossroads, so sun exposure isn't uniform across the area. We always scout the site first to see how many hours of direct sun your court gets; that affects which turf backing you'll need for durability. Fall installation is actually ideal here because the clay firms up nicely as temperatures cool, and you avoid the risk of summer heat affecting the adhesive and seam work. HOA rules in the area tend to be relaxed about court installations on estate lots, but we always verify setbacks and any landscape guidelines before we break ground. Most Crabapple courts run 30×60 for half-court or go full 94×50, and the elevation naturally works in your favor for water management.
Fall weather in North Fulton is ideal—cooler temperatures mean the seams cure properly and the base material settles without the stress of summer heat. Your clay soil firms up nicely as moisture decreases, giving our crews a stable foundation to work with. Plus, installation in October or November means your court is ready for winter play and the upcoming spring season, and you avoid the rush of spring projects.
Those elevation changes require careful grading and sub-base work. We use the natural slope to your advantage for drainage—water runoff isn't a problem like it is on flat lots. Our crews build in proper compaction and pitch so the playing surface stays level and safe, even on estate lots with significant grade changes.
Tree coverage varies a lot in Crabapple depending on your specific location. We assess sun exposure during our site visit and recommend backing and infill materials that handle partial shade better if needed. Full sun courts perform best, but we design solutions for whatever your lot gives us.
Most North Fulton lots can accommodate either. Half-courts (30×60) work great for driveway or side-yard spaces and cost less. Full courts (94×50) need more ground but deliver professional-level play. We measure your available space and discuss both options—it usually comes down to budget and how much of your lot you want to dedicate to play.
