Zero Down — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Crabapple are becoming the go-to move for families who want a dedicated space for basketball, tennis, or multi-sport play without the hassle of maintaining natural grass on those rolling North Fulton lots. The properties around Crabapple Crossroads and the Birmingham Falls area tend to be generous in size, which means you've got room to do this right—and artificial turf makes it actually doable year-round in Georgia's humidity and clay-heavy soil. We've installed dozens of these across Fulton County, and what we've learned is that Crabapple homeowners appreciate quality. They want their investment to look sharp, perform like a real court, and not become a muddy mess during our wet springs. A sport court with premium artificial turf handles the Georgia weather better than anything else, and it keeps your actual lawn healthy underneath. No compaction from constant foot traffic, no bare patches, no arguments with the neighborhood about drainage. Just a clean, functional play surface that your family will actually use.
Crabapple's clay-based soil is actually one reason sport courts make so much sense here. That heavy clay doesn't drain the way sandy soils do, so you get pooling and soft spots if you're trying to maintain a natural grass court. We typically install a proper base layer—crushed stone and a geotextile membrane—to manage water flow before the turf goes down. The good news is your lot size usually allows for it. Most properties in the Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Falls neighborhoods have enough room for a full or three-quarter court without eating into your usable yard. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're near the tree lines, but the rolling topography means we sometimes need to grade slightly to get a level playing surface. That's standard work for us. One thing to confirm: check whether your HOA has any landscape guidelines about court dimensions, color, or setback distances from property lines. Some neighborhoods have specific rules, and we'll work within whatever restrictions exist to make sure your court gets approved.
Yes—that's why we install a engineered base. We remove the top layer, lay crushed stone for drainage, add a permeable geotextile membrane, and compact it properly. The artificial turf itself is porous, so water flows through to the base layer and drains away. Clay soil actually makes this step more critical, not less, which is why we don't skip it. Your court will handle Georgia's spring rains without becoming a puddle.
A full basketball court is about 4,700 square feet of finished surface (50 x 94 feet). Most Crabapple properties can fit a three-quarter or full court without overwhelming the landscape. We'll walk your lot, check sight lines, and make sure the court sits at least 10-15 feet from the house and property lines. Your actual usable yard space stays intact.
We specify turf with shorter pile heights (typically 0.5 to 0.75 inches) and a sand-filled or hybrid infill system. It handles heat reflection better in summer and provides consistent ball response. For Crabapple's climate, we avoid overly thick piles—they trap heat and wear unevenly. The right turf will last 10-12 years with minimal maintenance.
Check your covenants first. Some Birmingham Falls and Crabapple Crossroads neighborhoods have landscape approval processes. We've worked with several local HOAs and know how to submit plans. Even if approval isn't required, we recommend being transparent with neighbors—a well-built court actually adds curb appeal and doesn't create the drainage or noise issues people sometimes worry about.
