Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Johns Creek has some of the most competitive youth sports programs in the Atlanta area, and a lot of families here want their kids practicing at home without waiting for court time at Newtown Park or the other public facilities. That's where a backyard sport court makes real sense. We've installed dozens of them across the Country Club of the South and St Ives subdivisions, and the difference is immediate—your kids get extra reps, you don't have to drive 35 minutes every time someone wants to shoot hoops, and your property value actually holds up better than with a worn-out natural grass court. The thing about this area is the clay soil base and the way the sun hits these lots differently depending on which neighborhood you're in. We account for drainage, orientation, and what your HOA actually allows before we break ground. A sport court in Johns Creek isn't just a nice-to-have—it's an investment that pays for itself in gas savings and quality family time alone.
Johns Creek sits on Fulton and Gwinnett clay, which is dense and doesn't drain like you'd want for a natural grass court. That heavy clay actually works in your favor with artificial turf—we don't have to fight water pooling the way some areas do. The upscale subdivisions here (especially Country Club of the South and St Ives) have specific landscape covenants, so we always pull and review your HOA requirements before quoting. Most lots are generous enough for a full court, though some of the older properties on smaller footprints need creative angles. Sun exposure varies depending on tree coverage—homes near Autrey Mill tend to have more oak and pine shade, while properties closer to the newer sections get full afternoon sun. We factor that into the turf pile height and infill recommendation. Installation timing matters too; spring and early fall are ideal for this area's humidity patterns. The subbase prep is critical in Johns Creek soil—improper grading and we're looking at trouble down the line.
Yes. Country Club of the South and St Ives both have landscape guidelines, and most require architectural review before installation. We handle that conversation for you—it's actually faster when a contractor's involved because the HOA knows we'll install to code. In nearly all cases, a well-maintained artificial court gets approved easily.
We specify a crushed stone subbase with perforated drain lines for Johns Creek properties. The native clay isn't porous, so we engineer around it rather than fight it. This prevents the soft spots and shifting you'd see with thinner prep work. It costs a bit more upfront but eliminates callbacks.
Turf doesn't need sunlight to survive, so zero loss functionally. Aesthetically, it looks consistent whether you're in full sun near Newtown Park or under the trees. The infill we use handles both conditions equally well—no brown patches or thin areas like you'd get with natural grass in mixed light.
Absolutely. Most homes here have uneven or worn grass courts. We grade, test drainage, remove old sod if needed, and install a proper base. Takes 3–5 days depending on lot size. Your yard doesn't need to be perfect to start; that's actually the whole point of working with us.
