New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your new construction home in Holly Springs comes with a blank canvas—and that's exactly the right time to think about a sport court. Here's the thing: building season in Cherokee County means you've got crews on-site already, soil's being graded, and landscaping plans are still fluid. That's your window. A lot of families moving into the Harmony area or near Holly Springs Town Center are asking us about dedicated basketball courts, pickleball setups, or multi-sport surfaces because they want their kids outside, not glued to screens. The rolling topography around here actually works in your favor—proper grading during new construction means we can build a court that sheds water beautifully and stays playable year-round. We're based just 20 minutes away, so we've installed dozens of courts in Cherokee County developments. We know the clay soil, we know how new construction sites operate, and we know what holds up in Georgia humidity. The best part? Installing during construction means no excavation headaches, no mature trees to work around, and way less disruption to your new driveway and landscaping.
Holly Springs' rolling topography in Cherokee County means your lot probably has some slope—which is actually good news for sport court drainage. The native clay soil here drains differently than Georgia's red clay further south, and that matters for base prep. During new construction, the grading contractors are already moving earth, so coordinating the court base at that stage saves you thousands compared to retrofitting an established yard. Most new builds in the Harmony area sit on 0.5 to 1.5-acre lots, giving families room for a 30x60 or even 40x75 court without eating your entire backyard. We typically see good sun exposure on these newer properties, but southern or western-facing courts need UV-stabilized turf to handle the intensity—Georgia sun is no joke. HOA guidelines in Holly Springs Town Center neighborhoods sometimes have aesthetic requirements, so we spec colors and materials that look polished while meeting those standards. One thing specific to new construction: make sure your lot survey and drainage plan are finalized before we break ground. The last thing you want is a court becoming a water collection point during Cherokee County's spring rains.
Absolutely—that's actually ideal timing. Once your lot grading and utilities are substantially complete, we can work with your builder's schedule. Coordinating with active construction crews takes planning, but it means cleaner site conditions, better base preparation, and no damage to finished landscaping. We've done this dozens of times in Cherokee County new builds.
Yes, but positively. Cherokee County's rolling clay compacts well and provides solid base support once graded. We design the sub-base specifically for local soil conditions to ensure proper drainage and prevent settling. Spring rains can be heavy around here, so we always slope courts slightly and confirm drainage patterns before installation.
Most new construction homes in Harmony have space for a 30x60 (half-court basketball/pickleball) or 40x75 (full-court basketball or multi-sport). Your surveyor can tell you exact usable area. We'll also factor in setbacks and HOA sight-line requirements so your court doesn't dominate the property.
We recommend 4-6 hours minimum daily sun for good playing conditions. Holly Springs' newer properties usually get solid southern or western exposure. Full-day sun is fine with quality UV-stabilized turf, but we'll assess your lot orientation and specify materials accordingly to handle Georgia's intensity.
