Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
East Cobb has some of the nicest residential properties in the Atlanta metro, and a lot of those homes come with serious outdoor space. Whether you're in Indian Hills, the Lassiter area, or Pope, you've probably got a decent-sized yard that could be doing more for your family. A sport court changes that equation. Instead of letting clay soil and Georgia heat turn your backyard into a maintenance nightmare, you get a dedicated space for basketball, tennis, pickleball, or just about any court sport you want. We've installed dozens of these in East Cobb neighborhoods over the past few years, and the feedback is always the same: families use them constantly. Kids actually stay outside. You don't spend weekends pulling weeds or watering dead patches. Near East Cobb Park and all the rec facilities in the area, a lot of residents already have sports on the brain—a home court just makes sense. The base prep is the real foundation of a quality installation, and that's where we focus. Get the site right, and your court will last 15-20 years without major issues. Rush it, and you're looking at drainage problems, surface cracking, and a expensive redo down the line. We're based just 15 minutes away, so we know Cobb County's soil, weather patterns, and what holds up here. Let's talk about what a sport court could look like on your property.
Cobb County clay is dense and doesn't drain naturally. That's the first thing we address before any court goes in. If you've got a low-lying lot or a yard that puddles after rain—common in Indian Hills and the Pope area—we're installing French drains and proper grading as part of the base prep. Upscale East Cobb lots tend to be well-established, which means mature trees. Sun exposure matters hugely for a sport court surface. We assess shade patterns throughout the day because uneven sun can affect how the court plays and ages. HOA rules in many East Cobb neighborhoods allow recreational courts, but we always verify deed restrictions and architectural guidelines before breaking ground. Most residential properties here are large enough for a full or near-full court without eating into your usable yard space, though we sometimes design half-court setups for tighter lots. Georgia's heat and humidity mean we spec surfaces that won't soften in 95-degree summers or crack when temp swings happen in spring and fall. Base depth, compaction, and substrate material are all dialed in for Cobb County conditions. We're not guessing—we've done this on your neighbor's property.
Most do, but it depends on your specific neighborhood covenant. We always pull your HOA restrictions before quoting. Some communities in the Lassiter and Indian Hills areas have guidelines about setbacks, fencing, or lighting. We'll review that with you upfront so there are no surprises during permitting or installation.
Clay doesn't drain, so we don't just pour a pad and call it good. We're grading for slope, installing drainage rock below the base, and compacting in lifts. This prevents the soft spots and puddles that kill courts. It's extra work upfront, but it's what keeps your investment solid for 15+ years.
A full basketball court is 94×50 feet. Most East Cobb residential properties can fit one, but a half court (47×50) leaves more yard for other uses. We measure your space and talk through how you'll actually use it—kids shooting hoops daily looks different than hosting occasional games.
Site work usually runs 3–7 days depending on grading needs, drainage, and soil conditions. We compact in stages and don't rush it. Near East Cobb, we schedule around Georgia rain patterns so we're not fighting wet clay during installation.
