Licensed Contractor — 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 homeowners in Indian Hills, the Pope area, and around Lassiter are asking us the same question: how do I get a sport court that actually holds up in Georgia weather without turning into a maintenance nightmare? Sport courts in East Cobb need to handle our humidity, clay-based soil drainage patterns, and the real-world demands of families who want a usable backyard year-round. We've installed dozens of courts across these neighborhoods—properties ranging from established lots in upscale subdivisions to newer constructions—and we know exactly what works here. The difference between a court that looks great for two years and one that performs for a decade comes down to site prep, drainage strategy, and choosing the right surface for Cobb County's specific climate. We're licensed contractors based just 15 minutes away, and we've built our reputation on understanding East Cobb's soil composition, shade patterns, and the expectations of homeowners who want professional-grade results without the professional-grade headaches.
East Cobb's clay-heavy soil is beautiful for landscaping but demands serious drainage planning on sport courts. Most lots in Indian Hills and the surrounding neighborhoods sit on compacted clay that doesn't shed water quickly—so we always run a subsurface drainage layer before the base goes down. This prevents the pooling and soft spots that plague courts in other parts of Cobb County. Shade is another factor unique to your neighborhoods. Many East Cobb properties have mature trees that create dappled afternoon shade, which is actually ideal for court longevity (it slows UV degradation), but you'll want to factor in drainage around root systems during installation. HOA rules vary significantly block-to-block in East Cobb, so we always verify sight lines, color restrictions, and setback requirements before quoting. Court sizing here typically ranges from half-court setups on 50x60-foot pads to full courts on larger lots. The Cobb County clay does mean we need extra attention to grading—we slope everything at 1% to ensure water moves toward perimeter drains, not toward your foundation or neighboring properties. It's the kind of detail that separates a court that lasts from one that becomes a liability.
Yes. Cobb County's clay doesn't absorb water like sandy soil, so pooling is real. We install a perimeter French drain system and a 4-inch gravel base with a geotextile layer beneath your court surface. Without it, you'll get soft spots after rain and mold growth in humidity. It's not optional in East Cobb—it's the foundation of a court that doesn't fail.
Most East Cobb HOAs allow courts, but restrictions vary. Some require earth-tone colors, others limit court dimensions or setbacks. We pull your HOA docs, verify requirements, and submit renderings for approval before we break ground. We've never had an approval blocked—we just do the legwork upfront.
A full half-court typically takes 4–6 days once the site is prepped. Full courts run 7–10 days. East Cobb's clay soil means our grading and drainage work takes longer than sandy sites, but that's why your court won't fail in year two. We schedule around Cobb County weather and always coordinate with your property's other contractors.
Acrylic surfaces are cheaper but require more maintenance and fade faster in our heat. Polyurethane is our go-to for East Cobb—it handles humidity, resists algae better, and stays cooler underfoot. Hybrid systems offer the best performance for families who want durability without constant upkeep.
