Emergency Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your kids have been asking for a court in the backyard for months. Maybe it's basketball, maybe it's pickleball—either way, you're tired of the muddy divots that appear after every rain in Duluth. We get it. The red clay soil around Gwinnett County doesn't exactly cooperate with sports, and once the Georgia humidity kicks in, a natural grass court becomes a maintenance nightmare. Sport courts solve that problem fast. They're durable, they drain properly even during our heavy spring storms, and they look sharp enough that your neighbors in Sugarloaf or Parsons will probably ask where you got yours installed. We're based just 30 minutes south, so when you need this done right and done quickly, we can be there without the delay. No excuses, no timeline creep—just a professional crew that understands what Duluth yards actually need. Whether you're in a newer development off Buford Dam Road or an established neighborhood near Downtown Duluth, we've built courts in your soil type and worked around your space constraints. The best part? You'll have a usable court before the summer heat makes outdoor sports unbearable.
Duluth sits on dense Gwinnett red clay, which is beautiful for landscaping but brutal for natural grass sports surfaces. Drainage pooling isn't hypothetical here—it's what happens after a typical Thursday thunderstorm. Sport courts with proper subsurface drainage eliminate that headache entirely. Most properties in the Sugarloaf and Parsons neighborhoods have mature tree canopies, so we assess sun exposure carefully during installation to make sure your court gets enough daylight to prevent algae buildup and to keep the surface temperature manageable during peak summer use. HOA communities in Duluth sometimes have specific color and material guidelines, so we'll walk through your covenants before we start. Lot sizes vary significantly across the city—some backyards are compact, others sprawl—which affects whether we're building a half-court or full-court layout. We've installed in tight spaces behind homes near the Infinite Energy Arena area and on larger properties deeper in established neighborhoods. The Georgia clay means we can't just lay down material on bare ground; proper base preparation is the difference between a court that lasts five years and one that lasts fifteen. We handle that foundation work during the emergency install so you're not dealing with settling or drainage problems six months from now.
We schedule emergency installs for Duluth within 5-7 business days, depending on court size and current weather. Avoid heavy rain periods, but spring and fall are typically faster. We'll confirm exact timing when you call. Our crew works efficiently because we're only 30 minutes away and familiar with Gwinnett County soil prep requirements.
Yes, if it's installed correctly. The clay itself doesn't drain well, so we create a engineered base layer with crushed stone and aggregate that sits beneath the court surface. Water routes to the perimeter and drains away from your foundation. We've done this hundreds of times in Duluth and never had pooling issues.
Many do, yes. Some restrict bright colors or require earth-tone finishes. We check your CC&Rs before we start and can suggest colors that comply. Most Duluth HOAs approve sport courts once they understand drainage and appearance—it's actually an improvement over bare dirt or worn grass.
A half-court fits in tighter spaces (common in older Parsons-area homes) and runs about 30x50 feet. A full court is 50x94 feet and needs more square footage. We measure your lot and recommend what makes sense—half-courts are plenty for family use and skill practice.
