Forever Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in Johns Creek can be so much more than a weekend headache. We've installed sport courts across Country Club of the South, St Ives, and the neighborhoods around Autrey Mill, and the transformation is always the same: families actually use their yards. The clay soil in Fulton County doesn't drain like you'd want it to, and after the Georgia humidity hits, a natural grass court becomes a muddy mess by July. That's where artificial turf changes everything. A sport court gives you a surface that's ready to play on year-round, no matter what the weather threw at it last week. We're local—just 35 minutes from the heart of Johns Creek—which means we understand the specific challenges your lot faces, from the dense shade near Newtown Park to the full-sun exposures in your subdivision. Whether you're thinking basketball, pickleball, or just a surface where kids can actually run without slipping, we'll build something that handles the Georgia climate and lasts.
Johns Creek's soil profile is heavy clay, typical of Fulton and Gwinnett County. That matters because water sits on clay rather than draining through it—a real problem if you're building a sport court on the surface without proper preparation. We always start with a drainage assessment of your specific lot. Your neighborhood's elevation and proximity to Autrey Mill or Newtown Park also influences sun exposure and shade patterns, which affects how the turf ages and what infill material works best. Most of the upscale subdivisions here have HOA landscape guidelines, so we'll coordinate with your rules before we start. Lot sizes in the area vary widely, but we've designed courts on everything from tight corners near St Ives to sprawling backyards in Country Club of the South. The humidity and summer heat mean your court will see intense UV exposure, so we spec materials rated for Georgia's climate. Our installation process accounts for the native clay base—we don't just lay turf over problem soil. Proper base prep, drainage rock, and crushed limestone sub-base turn that clay into a solid foundation.
Most subdivisions here, including Country Club of the South and St Ives, allow artificial turf as long as it's maintained to neighborhood standards. We've worked with dozens of Johns Creek HOAs and know their specific guidelines. We handle the approval coordination for you—send us your deed restrictions and we'll confirm before you commit.
Clay doesn't drain naturally, which is why we don't build directly on native soil. We excavate, install a perforated drainage layer with crushed limestone and base rock, then lay the turf. This process is standard for the area and prevents water pooling during heavy Georgia rain.
We recommend UV-stabilized polyethylene or polypropylene infilled with silica sand or rubber, depending on the court type. Johns Creek's intense summer sun means we choose premium grades rated for 10+ years of color retention and durability in hot, humid conditions.
A half-court runs roughly 47×50 feet; full court needs about 94×50. Many lots in the area work with smaller formats like pickleball or multipurpose courts. We'll visit your property, check shade patterns and drainage, and design something that fits your space and budget.
