New Construction — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a sport court in Fayetteville means thinking about what works for your family's actual lifestyle. Maybe you're in the Whitewater area with a newer suburban lot, or out in Kenwood where backyards are still generous enough to accommodate real court dimensions. Either way, artificial turf for a sport court is a practical choice—it handles Georgia's humidity without turning into a mud pit, and it gives you a usable surface that doesn't demand constant maintenance. We've worked with homeowners throughout Fayette County who wanted to add value to their homes and give their kids a place to actually play basketball, pickleball, or tennis without waiting for grass to dry out after rain. The nice part about installing now, during new construction or renovation phases, is that you can plan the drainage and grading right the first time. No retrofitting, no surprises. We handle the local soil conditions—that heavy Fayette County clay isn't going anywhere—and build a base that keeps water moving away from your home while giving you a court that lasts.
Fayetteville's clay-heavy soil is exactly why a proper sub-base matters more than people realize. During Georgia's wet seasons, that clay holds moisture like a sponge, so we always spec perforated drainage layers under the turf to prevent pooling. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're nestled in the tree cover of Whitewater or on the more open lots toward Kenwood—we assess your specific lot orientation to recommend infill and pile height that won't fade or get slippery in the shade. HOA guidelines in Fayetteville subdivisions sometimes restrict bright-colored court lines or require setback distances from property lines, so we review those before breaking ground. Most residential lots here run between 0.5 and 1.5 acres, which usually gives enough room for a full-size court (60 x 100 feet for tennis, 94 x 50 for basketball) with some breathing room around the edges. We've found that staging installation during the drier months (late fall through early spring) keeps our timeline predictable and lets the turf settle properly before summer heat hits.
Clay compacts and holds water differently than sandy soil, so we build a layered base with crushed stone and drainage board to handle Fayette County's clay. Without proper drainage, you'll get soft spots and standing water—especially during spring rains. We excavate to account for the clay, add a perforated system, and compact everything so your court stays firm and playable year-round.
Yes, with the right specifications. Court-grade turf with shorter pile (around 0.75 inches) works for both sports. Pickleball needs fast ball response and precise lines, while basketball needs cushioning and grip. We design the layout and line placement so you get good performance for both without compromises.
From site prep through final line installation, plan 2–3 weeks if weather cooperates and your lot drains well. Fayetteville's spring rains and summer heat can shift timing, so we typically schedule October through April for the smoothest process. We'll give you a realistic window based on your soil conditions and current weather patterns.
Most Fayetteville subdivisions require it, especially in Whitewater and Kenwood areas. Covenants often specify court dimensions, setbacks, lighting restrictions, and color schemes. We help you review your deed restrictions and coordinate with your HOA before we start. It's worth handling upfront so there are no surprises after installation.
