Emergency Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
You're standing in your Dunwoody backyard—maybe it's near Georgetown or over by Winters Chapel—and you're thinking about a sport court. Basketball. Tennis. Multi-sport. The thing is, you need it done fast. Life doesn't pause for construction timelines, especially when your kids are bouncing off the walls or your tennis league is breathing down your neck. Here's the reality: Dunwoody backyards are tricky. You've got that dense DeKalb clay, plenty of shade from mature trees, and lot sizes that don't always cooperate with what you're imagining. Plus, if you're in one of the neighborhoods with HOA oversight, there are rules to navigate. But none of that is a dead end—it just means you need someone who understands *your* specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all pitch. We've been installing sport courts across the metro area, and we know Dunwoody. We know how the water drains (or doesn't) in these lots, we know which neighborhoods have stricter aesthetic guidelines, and we know how to build something that'll last through Georgia humidity and actually perform like you want it to. When you need this done right and you need it soon, that local knowledge matters.
Dunwoody's soil is heavy—classic DeKalb clay that holds water longer than you'd like. That affects drainage under your sport court, so proper base preparation isn't optional. We account for that from day one, making sure water doesn't pool beneath the playing surface. Shade is another factor here. A lot of Dunwoody properties, especially deeper into Georgetown or near Brook Run Park, have significant tree coverage. That's great for cooling your house, less great for maintaining consistent playing conditions year-round. We position courts to maximize whatever sun exposure you have and recommend surfaces that handle partial-shade environments better. Your lot size matters too. Dunwoody isn't sprawling—many properties in the 30338, 30346, and 30360 ZIP codes are suburban-sized, which means we're often optimizing court dimensions to fit your actual space without eating your entire backyard. Some neighborhoods also have HOA guidelines about court placement, sight lines, and fencing, so we verify those requirements upfront. Georgia humidity is real. Artificial turf handles it fine, but the base, the subsurface, and drainage all need to be engineered for moisture. We don't cut corners there. One more thing: if you've got shade, algae can develop on synthetic surfaces over time. We design with that in mind and give you the right maintenance plan.
We can often mobilize within days for emergency installs. Most residential courts take 5–10 business days depending on site prep and your specific design. Dunwoody's clay soil sometimes requires extra base work, which we factor in upfront. Call us with your timeline and we'll be direct about what's realistic for your property.
It depends on your specific HOA rules. Many Dunwoody communities—especially in Georgetown and Winters Chapel—do have landscape guidelines. We'll help you understand what's required and work with your HOA to get approval. It's part of the process, not a surprise at the end.
Absolutely. Lots of Dunwoody homes have mature trees, which is beautiful but means less direct sun. We design courts for that reality. Performance will be solid; you just won't have ideal tennis conditions at 3 p.m. in July. We'll discuss trade-offs and positioning during your consultation.
DeKalb clay is dense and drains slowly, so proper grading and base materials are essential. This sometimes adds cost and a few extra days to the project, but skipping it leads to drainage problems later. We budget for it honestly upfront rather than cutting corners to hit a lower quote.
