Consultation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Doraville's got that perfect mix of urban energy and residential space—especially around the Assembly area and along Buford Highway where families are looking to maximize their yards. If you've got kids, you know how fast a natural grass court turns into a mud pit once Georgia clay gets wet. That's where a sport court makes sense. We've installed plenty of these in DeKalb County, and Doraville homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they want a surface that handles year-round use without the constant maintenance headache. A synthetic turf sport court gives you that—basketball, tennis, pickle ball, whatever your family's into. The material holds up through our humid summers and the occasional hard freeze, and it drains like nothing else when we get those heavy afternoon storms. We're less than 25 minutes away, which means we know your neighborhood's soil composition, the way sun hits different lots in the Assembly corridor, and how to properly prep a DeKalb clay base so your court stays level and performs for years. This isn't a generic pitch—it's a real solution for Doraville yards.
Doraville sits on dense DeKalb clay, which is both a challenge and actually why sport courts work so well here. Clay compacts hard and doesn't drain naturally, so when you're thinking about a permanent court surface, you need a contractor who understands that foundation layer. We excavate, grade, and install a proper base—crushed stone, geotextile, the whole setup—because skipping that step means your court will settle unevenly within a couple seasons. The Assembly area and surrounding neighborhoods tend to have mature tree cover in some lots and full sun exposure in others. That matters for turf selection; we'll assess your specific sun patterns during the consultation because UV wear varies dramatically. Most Doraville residential lots are in the quarter-to-half-acre range, which is ideal for a compact sport court footprint. We've also worked with several HOAs in the area, so if you're in a community with landscape guidelines, we know what approvals typically look like and how to present your court design. Georgia's humidity means we recommend superior drainage systems—not just any turf installer cuts corners on that here.
Short answer: yes, but we're not skipping the prep work. Clay needs a stable, compacted base layer plus drainage rock underneath. We'll excavate to the right depth, compact the clay, add crushed stone, and lay geotextile before the turf. It's the only way your court stays level and playable through Doraville's wet seasons.
Price depends on size, turf quality, and how much site work the DeKalb clay requires. A mid-range 30x40 court typically runs 8,000–15,000 installed. We'll walk through options during your consultation—we're transparent about costs and don't upsell unnecessary add-ons.
Most Doraville HOAs allow them, especially if they're well-maintained and fenced. We've worked through approval processes here before. Bring your CC&Rs to the consultation, and we'll advise you on positioning, colors, and screening that typically clear architectural review.
Site prep on clay typically takes 2–3 days, then turf installation another 1–2 days. Weather and lot size matter—if we hit rain, we pause work rather than rush on wet clay. Total project usually wraps in a week or two, including curing time before hard play.
