Water Savings — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Dunwoody backyard sounds like a luxury until you actually live with one—then it becomes a game-changer. Whether you're in Georgetown, near Winters Chapel, or over by Dunwoody Village, you've probably noticed how Georgia's humidity and clay-heavy soil make maintaining a traditional court a nightmare. Rain pools in weird spots. The surface breaks down. And honestly, you're spending half your summer just trying to keep it playable. Artificial turf sport courts solve that problem. They drain fast (crucial when you're dealing with DeKalb clay underneath), they're ready to play on within hours of a downpour, and they don't degrade the way natural grass does in our shade-heavy suburban lots. We've installed these systems all over the Dunwoody area, and the difference between a family that swears by theirs and one that regrets the investment almost always comes down to water management and proper base prep. That's where understanding your specific soil conditions matters. Your neighbor three blocks over in a different pocket of the neighborhood might have totally different drainage challenges than you do. That's not just local know-how talking—that's the reality of installing in DeKalb County.
Dunwoody sits on DeKalb clay, and that's the first thing we talk about before breaking ground. Clay doesn't drain like sandy soil does, so when we're prepping your lot for a sport court, we're not just leveling—we're creating a proper base layer system that works *with* what's already under your feet, not against it. Most residential properties around Georgetown and Winters Chapel have mature trees, which is beautiful but creates shade patterns that affect how quickly water moves off the court surface. We design drainage with that in mind. Your yard size matters too. Dunwoody lots vary significantly—some of the homes near Brook Run Park have deeper setbacks than others closer to the commercial areas. We've worked in tight spaces near Perimeter and in generous backyards where we can really optimize court dimensions and runoff zones. DeKalb County also has specific HOA guidelines in some neighborhoods around Dunwoody Village, so before we finalize your plan, we always pull those requirements. Frost heave is another factor here—Georgia's freeze-thaw cycles aren't extreme, but they happen enough that we compact and grade accordingly. Installation typically takes a few days depending on site conditions, and we schedule around your local weather patterns since spring rains are predictable in this area.
Absolutely. A real grass court in DeKalb clay needs consistent watering, especially during dry spells, and the shade from mature trees makes it hard to establish healthy turf. Artificial turf eliminates that entirely. You're not watering daily or fighting disease. Over a year, most Dunwoody homeowners see water bills drop noticeably. Plus, no chemicals or fertilizer runoff into your neighborhood's stormwater system.
Yes—that's actually where artificial courts shine in our climate. The system we install uses permeable backing and proper subsurface drainage to handle Georgia's heavy spring rains. Water doesn't pool on the surface like it does on clay. Your court is playable hours after a downpour, and the base layer beneath prevents standing water that would damage natural grass or create mud.
Most installations run three to five days depending on site size and base prep. We manage noise during reasonable hours and keep the work contained to your property. Since we're familiar with Dunwoody's neighborhoods—Georgetown, Winters Chapel, and the areas near Perimeter—we're respectful about timing and cleanup. Neighbors appreciate that we're not a months-long project.
Minimal compared to natural grass. Occasional brushing keeps the infill material even, and a rinse removes pollen and debris—common in our area with all the mature trees. No mowing, no fertilizing, no fungicide treatments for humidity-related diseases. You're looking at maybe a couple hours of upkeep per year, which is why water savings extends beyond just irrigation.
