Front Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Crabapple homeowners sit on some of the most desirable estate lots in North Fulton, and a sport court is the perfect way to maximize that space. Whether you're in the Crabapple Crossroads area or closer to Birmingham Falls, having a dedicated court for basketball, pickleball, or tennis means your family stays active without the drive to a rec facility. We've installed courts throughout this neighborhood for families who wanted to reclaim their backyards and add real value to their properties. The clay-heavy soil and rolling topography here actually work in your favor during installation—we know exactly how to prep these lots for long-term stability. Most Crabapple residents love that a sport court keeps kids engaged at home, handles Georgia's humid summers better than bare grass, and stays playable year-round. We typically complete installations in this area within 2–3 weeks, and honestly, watching a family use their court for the first time never gets old.
North Fulton's rolling clay soil requires proper grading and drainage prep—we don't just lay turf and hope for the best. Most Crabapple lots are spacious enough for a full or three-quarter court, but we always assess your specific topography during the site visit because those elevation changes matter. Summer sun exposure varies significantly depending on tree cover; homes near Birmingham Falls Elementary tend to have more established shade, while properties closer to Crabapple Market side often get full afternoon heat. Both situations are manageable—we just adjust the court orientation and material selection accordingly. The clay base here compacts well, which is actually ideal for a stable playing surface, but it needs a proper sub-base layer to prevent settling over time. HOA guidelines in Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Falls typically allow sport courts, especially when they're positioned as functional recreation rather than pure aesthetics, but we always recommend checking your covenants first. Georgia's humidity means excellent drainage design is non-negotiable; we've seen too many poorly installed courts turn into puddles after a heavy rain. Our standard installation accounts for all of this and includes proper slope and perimeter drainage.
Crabapple is in Fulton County, and most residential sport courts don't require a building permit if they're under 2,500 square feet and don't involve structural foundations. That said, always check with your HOA first—Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Falls communities have their own rules. We handle the county research and documentation as part of our process, so you're covered.
North Fulton's clay compacts really well, which is great for a stable base. The downside is drainage—clay holds water, so we build in proper slope and sub-base layers to keep your court playable after rain. It's extra work upfront, but it prevents settling and extends your court's life significantly.
Absolutely. The rolling topography here is actually common, and we grade and level the court area to create a safe, playable surface. Your surrounding landscape stays as-is, so you're not losing the natural slope that makes these estate lots so attractive.
We recommend our premium polyurethane and acrylic blends for Crabapple because they handle UV and moisture swings without cracking or fading. They dry fast after rain—important in our climate—and stay cool enough for barefoot play even in July.
