Weekend Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Dunwoody neighborhoods like Georgetown and Winters Chapel have become the go-to solution for families who want a dedicated space for basketball, tennis, or multi-sport play without the maintenance headache of natural grass. We've installed quite a few of these around the Dunwoody area, and honestly, the weekend-install timeline works perfectly for homeowners who want to get their court game-ready before the kids get back into their routines. The beauty of artificial turf for sport courts is that you get consistent playing surface year-round—no mud, no dead patches from heavy foot traffic, and zero guilt about watering during Georgia's dry spells. Most Dunwoody lots sit in that sweet suburban size range where a dedicated court fits beautifully without overwhelming the yard. What really sets a quality sport court apart is the base work and drainage setup, especially here in DeKalb County where our clay soil needs some thoughtful preparation. We handle that complexity so you don't have to think about it—you just show up Saturday morning and by Sunday evening, you've got a court that'll handle serious play and casual family fun for the next 10-15 years.
Dunwoody's soil composition—heavy DeKalb clay—is exactly why we don't cut corners on base preparation for sport courts. Clay holds water, which means proper drainage underneath your court isn't optional; it's the difference between a court that plays great in April and one that gets waterlogged after summer storms. We typically excavate and build a compacted gravel base with perimeter drainage to handle the local rainfall patterns. Shade is another real consideration here. Georgetown and Winters Chapel have mature tree canopies that homeowners love for home value and summer comfort, but they can create moisture pockets on turf. We size your court placement to maximize sun exposure, and we recommend a drainage-friendly infill system if your lot leans shadier. Most Dunwoody residential lots run 0.3 to 0.5 acres, which gives us good flexibility for court sizing—whether you want a full multi-sport court or a focused basketball setup. HOA communities in the area tend to be supportive of well-maintained sport courts, but we always review your specific deed restrictions upfront. Weekend installs work because we can sequence the heavy equipment work (excavation, base) during the week, then finish with turf and line marking over the weekend. That's why having LawnLogic 28 minutes away matters: we're local enough to manage timeline coordination, but established enough to handle the technical details.
Yes, but it requires the right base strategy. We excavate deeper in clay-heavy areas and install a gravel-plus-perforated-pipe system underneath. This prevents the waterlogging that clay naturally causes. In Dunwoody's climate, this base investment protects your court through heavy spring rains and summer thunderstorms. It's not extra cost—it's necessary setup we factor into every estimate.
We can handle the full installation over a weekend, but we prep during the week. Excavation and base work happen Monday–Friday, then we install turf, compact infill, and paint lines Saturday–Sunday. For Dunwoody clients, this means you're not living with equipment and torn-up yard for weeks. You get your court functional and ready to use by Sunday afternoon.
They work, but they perform better with decent sun exposure. If your court sits mostly under shade from mature oaks or pines, we can still build it, but we recommend strategic tree trimming and a drainage-focused infill to manage moisture retention. Full-sun courts drain faster and require less maintenance long-term.
With proper installation and standard use, you're looking at 10–15 years in Georgia's climate. Dunwoody's humidity and seasonal temperature swings don't degrade quality turf dramatically if drainage is solid from day one. Regular rinsing to remove pollen (a Dunwoody reality) and occasional infill refreshing extend that timeline.
