Residential — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sugarloaf and the Parsons area have some genuinely beautiful homes, and a lot of them come with yards that have serious potential. If you've got kids who want a dedicated spot to shoot hoops, play volleyball, or just have their friends over for some pickup games, a sport court changes everything about how your family uses your backyard. We've been installing these across Gwinnett County for years, and Duluth homeowners get it—they want their outdoor space to work as hard as they do. The neighborhoods around Downtown Duluth tend to have established yards with decent-sized lots, which means we've got room to work with. A sport court isn't just about looks; it's about creating a place where your kids actually want to be outside, where you can host family games without worrying about uneven ground or weather turning your court into a mud pit. That Gwinnett red clay you've got underneath? It's tough stuff, but that's exactly why a properly installed sport surface matters. We handle the site prep, the base work, and the final surface so you get something that lasts and performs like a real court should.
Duluth sits on that classic Gwinnett red clay, which looks great but doesn't drain like you'd want for a sport court. Before we pour any base material, we're looking at your existing grade and working with the clay, not against it. Sun exposure is key here—properties around Sugarloaf and near the Parsons area range from pretty shaded (thanks to mature trees) to full sun. If your backyard gets afternoon western exposure, we'll talk about how surface heat affects playing comfort in summer. Most of the established neighborhoods have consistent lot sizes, which means we can typically fit a regulation or near-regulation court without major earth work. Some HOAs in Duluth have landscape guidelines, so we always check restrictions before design. The red clay base actually works in our favor once we get the drainage layer right—we're not fighting sandy or heavily compacted soils like you see in some areas. Installation timeline usually runs 7-10 days depending on site conditions. Winter's mild enough here that we work year-round, though spring and fall are ideal if you want it done before summer really heats up.
We handle all of Duluth and the surrounding Gwinnett area regularly. Our main location is about 30 minutes away, so whether you're in Sugarloaf, the Parsons area, or closer to Downtown Duluth, we're right in your backyard. We work with a lot of Gwinnett homeowners, so we know the soil conditions and local building requirements here.
Red clay drains poorly on its own, but that's exactly why we build a proper base layer underneath. We're not putting a court directly on clay—we're installing drainage material, a compacted base, and then your playing surface. Once it's installed correctly, clay isn't a problem; it's just part of the process we account for during design.
Shade is actually good for playing surface longevity and comfort. Less intense sun means less heat buildup and less UV stress. If you've got partial shade (common in established Duluth neighborhoods), that's ideal. Full-day shade can reduce drainage speed, but it's not a dealbreaker—we just adjust the base design accordingly.
Most courts take 7-10 days start to finish. Duluth winters are mild enough that we can work year-round, but spring and fall are usually the sweet spot. If you want it ready for summer games, scheduling in late spring makes sense so you're not waiting through colder months.
