Financing — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Decatur's tree-lined streets and historic neighborhoods—from Oakhurst to Winnona Park—create some of the most beautiful residential spaces in the metro Atlanta area. But that same mature canopy that makes your street so charming? It's also casting shade across your backyard, which means natural grass courts struggle here. We've installed dozens of sport courts throughout DeKalb County, and we've learned exactly how to build them in neighborhoods where red clay soil runs deep and full sun is a luxury. A synthetic turf court gives you the playability of a championship surface without fighting Georgia's humidity, without the constant patching that clay demands, and without spending your weekends maintaining something that'll just wash out during summer storms. Whether you're in the MAK Historic District or near Agnes Scott, we can design a court that fits your space—and your budget. Our financing options make it easier than you'd think to get started.
Decatur's soil is textbook DeKalb red clay, which drains poorly and compacts hard—exactly what you don't want under a sport court. We address this by installing a proper base layer with crushed stone and drainage channels before laying synthetic turf. The mature tree canopy is beautiful for curb appeal, but it creates two challenges: partial shade means slower drying times after rain, and falling leaves require more frequent brushing to keep the court playable. Most Decatur yards sit in the 40-by-60 or 50-by-70 range, which is perfect for a half-court or full-court setup. HOA rules in neighborhoods like Winnona Park sometimes require approval for court installations, so we handle that documentation upfront. The humidity here—especially June through September—is actually a plus for synthetic surfaces; they don't heat up the way asphalt does, and they stay grippy even when damp. Installation typically takes 5–7 days depending on grading needs, and since we're just 30 minutes away, we're available for follow-ups or maintenance without a long drive.
It depends on your neighborhood. Communities like Winnona Park and MAK Historic District have architectural review boards. We check your local guidelines and submit applications if needed—it's part of our process. Most Decatur HOAs approve synthetic courts since they don't require chemicals or frequent water, and they look neat year-round.
Yes, but only with the right foundation. We excavate and remove clay to a depth that prevents water pooling, then install gravel base and perforated drainage lines. Synthetic turf itself drains fast, so standing water isn't an issue once we've fixed the subsurface—something critical in Decatur's wet season.
Synthetic turf performs fine in dappled or partial shade. What matters is airflow—if your court is in deep shade but gets breeze, it'll dry quickly after rain. We assess your specific trees and site during the initial walk-through so you know exactly what to expect year-round.
We work with multiple lenders to offer payment plans that spread the cost over 24–60 months. Most Decatur homeowners finance courts between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on size and features. We handle the applications—you just approve the terms.
