Summer Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your kids are home from school, and that clay soil in your Grayson backyard is either mud or dust depending on the week. A sport court changes that—it's where your driveway basketball dreams actually happen, where neighborhood kids want to hang out, and where summer doesn't mean "sorry, the yard's too torn up." We've worked with Gwinnett County families from Bay Creek to the Grayson High School area, and we know exactly what East Gwinnett yards need. The clay base around here can be stubborn, drainage matters more than people think, and the summer heat is real. A properly installed sport court isn't just a surface—it's a reason to stay home instead of driving to some rec center. We handle the site prep, the base, the court itself, and all those details that separate a court that holds up from one that falls apart in two years. Summer installation means you're ready when the heat hits, not scrambling in fall.
Grayson's clay-heavy soil is your first consideration. That dense East Gwinnett clay doesn't drain like sandy soil does, so any sport court we install needs aggressive base preparation and proper grading. We're not just laying down a surface—we're managing water. The good news: your soil is stable and compacts well, which means a solid foundation once we get it right. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're in the Bay Creek area or closer to the tree canopy near Grayson High School. Some yards get blasted eight hours a day; others see afternoon shade that actually helps in July. We assess your specific lot during the consultation because what works three blocks away might not work for you. Yard size matters too. Most Grayson properties run 0.25 to 0.5 acres, which usually means a half-court or three-quarter court fits naturally without dominating the landscape. HOA rules in the community vary—some neighborhoods have restrictions on court placement, color, or height. We help navigate those upfront so there's no surprise conversation with your HOA in August.
Clay itself isn't bad—it's actually stable. The issue is water pooling. Our crews build a compacted base with proper slope, usually 1-2% grade, so water moves away from the court. In Gwinnett, we also recommend a perimeter drain system for courts that sit in lower spots. It's an upfront cost that saves you from standing water after summer storms.
Summer's actually ideal for installation. The ground is firm, not soggy, and we can finish faster. Heat doesn't hurt the installation process—it helps materials set properly. Just plan for early mornings or late-afternoon work so our crew isn't working in peak heat. We're in the area regularly, so scheduling around your timeline is straightforward.
Gwinnett County typically requires permits for accessory structures over a certain size or cost. We handle the paperwork and know the local requirements for your 30017 area. Most residential courts qualify under standard guidelines, but we confirm before any digging starts so you're protected.
Half-courts (about 30x50 feet) fit most suburban Grayson lots and are plenty for driveway-style play and skill work. Full courts need more space and budget. We measure your yard during the initial visit and show you options scaled to your property. Honestly, most families prefer the half-court—it's functional and doesn't overwhelm the landscape.
