Expert Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Dunwoody backyards are becoming the go-to move for families who want their kids shooting hoops or playing tennis without the drive to Perimeter Mall or Brook Run Park every time. Here's the thing—Dunwoody lots tend to be tight, and natural grass doesn't hold up well to constant foot traffic, especially under the shade we get from those mature trees around Georgetown and Winters Chapel. Artificial turf changes the game. You get a hard, all-weather playing surface that stays green year-round, doesn't turn to mud in our Georgia clay, and handles the humidity without getting spongy. We've installed dozens of sport courts across the 30338, 30346, and 30360 zip codes, and the homeowners who go this route never look back. Whether it's a small backyard basketball half-court or a full tennis setup, we size and install these to match your space and your HOA guidelines—because yes, some Dunwoody neighborhoods have specific landscape rules we need to work around. The installation itself is straightforward for us, but it matters that you work with someone who knows the local soil, drainage patterns, and what your neighbors have already done successfully.
Dunwoody's underlying DeKalb clay is a reality you have to plan for. Unlike sandy soil that drains fast, clay holds water, so proper subsurface drainage under your sport court is non-negotiable. We install a base layer that prevents pooling and ensures water moves away from the court and your home's foundation. The shade situation varies depending on where you are—Georgetown tends to have dense tree coverage, which actually helps keep courts cooler, but it means less direct sun hitting the turf throughout the day. That's fine for artificial surfaces; they don't need sunlight to stay vibrant. Lot sizes around Dunwoody Village and Winters Chapel are typically 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so we're working with constrained spaces where every inch counts. We've learned to orient courts to maximize usable space and keep them away from setback lines that HOAs enforce. Wind drainage is worth mentioning too—Dunwoody gets decent airflow, which actually helps synthetic turf dry faster after rain. One more thing: if your neighborhood has restrictions on court color or perimeter fencing, we'll navigate that upfront so there are no surprises when we're halfway through the project.
Many Dunwoody neighborhoods, especially in Georgetown and Dunwoody Village, do have landscape review processes. We've worked through these before and know what typically gets approved—colors, setbacks, and fencing height. We recommend checking your HOA docs first, and we can help you understand what modifications might be needed. It's worth the 10 minutes upfront to avoid delays later.
Not if we prepare it right. Clay doesn't drain on its own, so we install a proper base system—usually a crushed stone layer with perforated underlayment—that channels water away. We've done this on hundreds of Dunwoody properties, and it works. Without it, you'd see pooling after heavy rain. With it, water moves through and away.
Depends on your specific lot size and setback requirements, but most Dunwoody homes can accommodate at least a half-court basketball setup or a small tennis court. We'll do a site visit and check your HOA rules, then show you what fits. Some homeowners go smaller intentionally to leave room for other outdoor space.
Once we've got your HOA approval (if needed) and finalized the design, the actual installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on court size and base work. The whole process from consultation to playing on your new court usually runs 2–3 weeks. We schedule a site visit within a couple of days, so you're not waiting around.
