Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Jonesboro backyard isn't just a weekend project—it's an investment in how your family actually uses your outdoor space. Whether you're in Downtown Jonesboro, out near Tara Boulevard, or somewhere in between, Clayton County's humid summers and clay-heavy soil mean your yard needs a surface that can handle both intense play and weather that doesn't quit. We've built sport courts for families across 30236 and 30237 who got tired of muddy patches, uneven ground, and surfaces that turned into slip hazards after rain. The artificial turf we install handles Georgia's climate without the constant maintenance. No watering during drought, no brown patches by mid-July, no weeds taking over the baseline. You get a clean, playable surface year-round—perfect for basketball, tennis, or just tossing a ball around with the kids. Our team knows the soil conditions in this area, understands how water drains (or doesn't) on typical Jonesboro lots, and can build a court base that actually lasts. It's about 35 minutes from our shop to most of Jonesboro, so we're close enough to handle everything from initial site visit to final lines, without the drive-time delays you'd get from Atlanta installers.
Clayton County clay is dense and heavy—it holds water like a sponge after our afternoon storms, and that means proper base preparation is non-negotiable for a sport court. We excavate, grade, and compact the subbase so water drains away from your court instead of pooling under it. Without that step, you'd have a soft, unstable surface by August. The clay also means we're paying attention to slope; we're aiming for subtle pitch toward your property's natural drainage, not toward your house or your neighbor's yard over the fence. Sun exposure varies across Jonesboro depending on tree coverage—homes near Stately Oaks or in older subdivisions often have mature oaks and pines that create dappled afternoon shade. That's actually good for player comfort and surface longevity; full Georgia sun can stress even high-quality turf. We assess your lot's specific sun pattern during the initial walk-through, because a court that gets hammered by western sun needs different material specs than one with mixed light. Lot sizes around Jonesboro are typically quarter-acre to half-acre residential, so we're usually fitting a court in the available space without major tree removal—we work with what you've got.
Clay holds moisture and compacts hard, which is both good and bad. We use that density to our advantage during compaction, but we have to ensure proper grading so water moves away from your court. Without good slope and drainage, clay underneath your turf will stay saturated, creating soft spots and surface instability. We typically add a drainage layer above the clay to intercept water and redirect it.
Absolutely. Trees are actually beneficial—they reduce glare and heat stress on the surface. We design the court footprint to avoid major root systems and work around existing shade. You don't need to remove trees unless they're directly in the court area or creating dense enough shade that you'd never use the court. We'll map it out during the site visit.
Way less than natural grass, especially in Jonesboro's clay soil where drainage is already a struggle. You'll rinse it occasionally to remove pollen and dust, and we recommend a professional cleaning once a year. No mowing, no watering, no fertilizer—you're mostly just keeping it clean and letting it breathe.
Yes, we service the entire Jonesboro area across both 30236 and 30237. Whether you're in a busy neighborhood or a quieter lot, we've got the same process: site assessment, drainage planning, base build, and turf installation. Lot size and soil conditions vary, but we adapt to your specific property.
