Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Ellijay aren't just about having a place to shoot hoops or play tennis—they're about making the most of your mountain property year-round. Whether you're in Downtown Ellijay, nestled in the Apple Country area, or somewhere in between, a quality artificial turf court gives your family a low-maintenance recreation space that actually holds up in our climate. We've installed dozens of courts across Gilmer County, and we understand what works here. Mountain weather means frost, occasional heavy rain from the Cartecay River basin, and the kind of clay soil that doesn't drain like flat Georgia terrain. A poorly installed court becomes a mud pit or a ice rink. A properly built one? It's the best investment you'll make for your property's usability and your family's activity level. That's where we come in. Our warranty backs up every court we install because we're confident in our work—and we're sticking around to honor it.
Ellijay's elevation and clay-heavy soil require a different approach than you'd use in Atlanta or Savannah. Our mountain clay tends to hold water, so proper drainage underneath your sport court isn't optional—it's essential. We always recommend a perforated base layer and sometimes a gravel sub-base to handle spring runoff and the wet spells we get here. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on whether your property sits in the Apple Country foothills or closer to town; some Ellijay lots get afternoon shade from ridge lines, which actually extends turf life by reducing UV stress. We check your specific lot during the site visit because shade patterns matter. Yard sizes around here tend to be generous—vacation home properties especially—which means we often have room to build a proper court with safe perimeter clearance. Winter freeze-thaw cycles are real at our elevation, so your court needs solid drainage and an installation method that accounts for ground movement. We size every court and choose materials with Gilmer County's specific conditions in mind, not generic Georgia specs.
Absolutely, but it requires proper drainage design. Our clay-specific installations include a perforated base layer and often additional gravel to handle Ellijay's spring runoff and mountain moisture. We've built courts on every soil type in Gilmer County—the key is the foundation, not the existing dirt. A well-built court on clay actually stays flatter and more stable than a rushed job on sandy soil.
Our standard warranty covers material defects and installation workmanship for 10 years on turf and 15 years on the structural base. We stand behind seams, infill retention, and drainage performance. Since we're only 75 minutes away in North Georgia, warranty service isn't a hassle—we handle repairs promptly. Your warranty is backed by the manufacturer plus our own commitment.
Sport courts are engineered for performance: specialized base layers, shock-absorbing infill, and turf designed for ball response and player safety. Regular lawn turf prioritizes aesthetics. A sport court needs precision grading, proper drainage, and quality materials that justify the investment. If you're building a court, you need a court-grade installation.
Winter frost heave is real at our elevation, which is exactly why base preparation matters. We install with expansion joints and proper anchoring so freeze-thaw cycles don't buckle your court. Our local experience with mountain winters means we design specifically to prevent the movement issues we see in poorly built courts around town.
