Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Fair Oaks sits in that sweet spot where suburban living meets real outdoor space—and that clay-heavy South Cobb soil means your natural grass dreams can turn into maintenance headaches pretty fast. We've installed sport courts all over this area, from the neighborhoods closer to Mableton all the way through Fair Oaks proper, and the story's always the same: families want a place where kids can actually play without tracking mud through the house every time it rains. A sport court with artificial turf solves that problem. You get a surface that handles Georgia's humidity, drains properly even after our typical afternoon downpours, and stays playable year-round. Whether you're thinking basketball, tennis, or just a multipurpose court where the neighborhood kids can shoot around, the turf we install is built tough enough for the climate and designed to last. We're based just 18 minutes from your area, so we know Fair Oaks yards inside and out—the lot sizes, the sun patterns, what your neighbors have done. Let's talk about what a sport court could look like in your backyard.
Fair Oaks soil is that dense, sticky South Cobb clay that doesn't drain like other parts of Georgia. When you're planning a sport court, that matters because proper base preparation is everything. We account for clay compaction and make sure the subsurface grading slopes away from your court—standing water is a court killer, and Fair Oaks gets enough rain that drainage can't be an afterthought. Sun exposure varies quite a bit depending on whether you're tucked into the tree-heavy sections near the Mableton border or in the more open residential pockets. We'll assess your specific lot during the site visit because afternoon shade from mature oaks can actually be a bonus in summer, but it affects which turf infill we recommend. Most Fair Oaks yards are quarter-acre to half-acre residential lots, so we typically design courts that fit without consuming your entire usable space. Typical installations here take 3–5 days, and we work around your existing landscaping and any HOA guidelines that apply to your neighborhood. The clay base, once properly prepped and compacted, gives us a solid foundation—it's not ideal soil, but it's what we work with, and we've perfected the process.
Absolutely. Clay is dense, which actually helps with stability once we prep and compact it correctly. The key is proper drainage design—we slope the base away from your court and use a geotextile layer to prevent clay from migrating into the subsurface. Fair Oaks yards are built on this soil, so we've done this dozens of times in your neighborhoods.
Fair Oaks gets hot and humid, but the turf itself doesn't rot or mold like natural grass would in those conditions. Rinse it down a few times a year to keep dust and pollen off, brush the nap occasionally to prevent matting, and you're good. Zero fungicide sprays needed, no watering, no mowing.
Most Fair Oaks residential properties can accommodate a half-court or three-quarter court without eating up your entire yard. A full NBA court is 94 by 50 feet—larger lots can do it, but we usually design custom sizes that balance playability with keeping some usable space for the rest of your property.
Price depends on court size, turf quality, and base prep complexity. Fair Oaks clay requires solid foundation work, which factors in. Most residential courts in your area run between $8,000–$20,000. We'll give you a firm quote after the site visit—no surprises.
