Seam Repair — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Dunwoody backyards take a real beating—especially when you've got kids bouncing basketballs on artificial turf year-round. The seams that hold everything together are under constant stress, and over time, they can start separating or pulling apart, creating trip hazards and letting moisture creep underneath. That's where professional seam repair comes in. We've been helping homeowners across Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and Dunwoody Village extend the life of their courts without ripping out the whole surface and starting over. A solid seam repair job can buy you another 5-10 years of solid play, and it costs a fraction of a full replacement. Whether your court sits in the shade of mature trees near Brook Run Park or bakes in the afternoon sun, seams fail for different reasons—and we know how to fix them right.
Dunwoody's clay-heavy soil and the area's humidity create specific challenges for artificial turf seams. When water pools underneath—which happens fast in yards with poor drainage on DeKalb clay—the seams absorb moisture and weaken. Shade is another factor. Homes in Georgetown and near the tree-lined neighborhoods stay cooler, which means less UV stress on the turf itself, but also slower drying after rain. That extended moisture window puts pressure on seams. Most Dunwoody lots are modest suburban sizes, so a sport court takes up a meaningful chunk of your yard. You want it solid. We also see HOA guidelines affecting material choices in some neighborhoods—synthetic turf installations need to match approved color palettes and pile heights. The good news: seam tape and infill work extremely well in this climate when done properly. We use heat-welded seams and moisture-resistant backing that holds up in DeKalb's wet springs and humid summers.
Most seams start showing wear after 8-12 years of regular use, but Dunwoody's humidity and clay-based drainage issues can speed that up. We've seen seams fail in 5-6 years if water pooling wasn't managed properly. Heavy spring rains and afternoon thunderstorms mean your court gets wet frequently—that's harder on seams than drier climates.
Absolutely. We can access failed seams, remove the old tape or welding, dry out the area properly, and re-seal it without pulling up the entire surface. This saves time and money compared to replacement. It typically takes a day or two depending on seam length and moisture levels.
DeKalb clay doesn't drain well, so water pools underneath the turf backing. That moisture weakens the seam adhesive over time. Shade from mature trees slows evaporation too. Plus, freeze-thaw cycles in winter can expand the turf and put stress on the seams.
Repair is worth it if the rest of your turf is in good shape and seams are the main issue. You're looking at 30-40% of replacement cost and minimal downtime. If the turf is faded, matted, or infill is depleted across the whole court, replacement makes more sense.
