Sport courts are popping up all over Dunwoody, and honestly, it makes sense. Whether you're in Georgetown, Winters Chapel, or near Dunwoody Village, families are realizing that a dedicated court space turns a backyard into something functional—not just another patch of grass. We work with homeowners here constantly who've got kids playing basketball, pickleball, or just want a durable surface that doesn't turn into a mud pit every time it rains. The DeKalb clay soil around here doesn't drain like you'd want it to, and traditional grass gets shredded pretty fast under court activity. Artificial turf for a sport court is different than lawn turf—it's engineered specifically for that kind of use. We've installed plenty of these in the area, and the difference in durability, maintenance, and year-round usability is night and day. You get a surface that's ready to play on in any season, without the constant upkeep. If you've been thinking about it, now's a good time to have a conversation about what makes sense for your property.
Dunwoody's soil composition—that heavy DeKalb clay—is actually one of the reasons sport courts perform so well here. Clay holds moisture, which means your natural grass drains poorly and gets compacted fast under repeated foot traffic. An artificial court system solves that completely. Shade is another real consideration in this area. Georgetown and the neighborhoods toward Brook Run Park tend to have mature tree coverage, which is beautiful but rough on regular turf. Sport court surfaces don't care about shade, so that's a genuine advantage. Most Dunwoody lots are suburban-sized—not sprawling estates—which means a 30x40 or 40x60 court actually fits the property scale without overwhelming the yard. HOA rules vary by neighborhood, so we always check first. Some communities have specific landscape guidelines, and we make sure your court meets those before installation. The good news is artificial sport courts typically get approval because they're clearly a contained, maintained structure. Winter is mild here, so you're playing year-round. Summer heat does matter though—we recommend lighter-colored infill if you're playing in afternoon sun, since dark surfaces get hot.
You need a proper base, and Dunwoody's clay soil actually requires more prep than some areas. We remove the top layer, compact, and install crushed stone and asphalt sub-base. Skipping this step means the court shifts over time—especially through our wet winters. It's the difference between a court that lasts 10 years and one that settles after two.
Most suburban Dunwoody properties can fit a functional court. A 30x40 is the minimal recreational size and works on tight lots. If you've got the space, 40x60 gives you room for full-court play. We measure and map out your property, account for setbacks, trees, and existing structures to make sure you're maximizing usable space.
Way less than people think. You're not mowing, watering, or fertilizing. Occasional sweeping to keep debris out of the infill, and rinsing it down a few times a year keeps it clean. Dunwoody's humidity means moss can be a minor issue in shaded corners, but it's manageable and rare.
Most do, because it's a defined, contained improvement. We check your CC&Rs before you commit. Some neighborhoods want specific colors or screening, which we factor in. In our experience, communities around Perimeter and Dunwoody Village tend to have straightforward approval processes for these.
