New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home in Kennesaw? One of the smartest moves we see families make is installing a sport court with premium artificial turf before they even move in. Think about it—you're already doing the heavy lifting with site prep and grading. Once you've got concrete down and the foundation work done, laying in a functional sport court takes a fraction of the effort it would if you waited a year or two. We've installed dozens of these in Legacy Park, Stilesboro, and Due West, and honestly, the best-case scenario is when the builder or homeowner calls us during framing. That way, we can coordinate with your grading contractor, make sure drainage flows right, and get your court surface in before the landscaping crew shows up. Kennesaw's heat—we hit 78+ days a year above 90 degrees—means your artificial turf needs to be engineered for durability, not just looks. We use UV-stabilized materials and proper infill that won't turn into a cooking surface when summer rolls around. Whether you're in one of the newer developments near Town Center at Cobb or settling into a custom build out near Kennesaw Mountain, we know this area's soil, drainage patterns, and what actually works in Cobb County. We're based right here, so we're not flying in from somewhere else to guess at your yard's specifics. Your sport court should be ready to handle your family's first basketball game, tennis match, or just plain roughhousing—without breaking down or looking tired in three years.
Cobb County's red clay is no joke. That heavy, compacted soil we dig through on every job means water doesn't drain naturally—it pools. For a sport court in Kennesaw, this matters because improper base prep leads to soft spots, surface movement, and premature wear. We always specify a gravel base with a perforated drain layer, then sub-base stabilization before the court surface goes down. It's extra work upfront, but it's the difference between a court that lasts 10+ years and one that starts failing in year four. Sun exposure is another local reality. Most Kennesaw properties sit in full or near-full sun, especially in the newer subdivisions. Our infill materials and turf fibers are rated for UV exposure because we're not trying to install something that fades to a weird brownish-gray by mid-summer. The heat also means we choose fiber systems with better temperature dissipation—no one wants to play barefoot on a surface that's 140 degrees in July. If your new build is in an HOA community—and many are in Legacy Park and Stilesboro—check your covenants early. Most allow sport courts, but some have specific finish standards or color requirements. We've worked with those rules countless times and can design your court to fit the aesthetic guidelines while still delivering serious performance. Lot sizes in Kennesaw vary, but we typically see room for a half-court or full-court setup on most residential builds without eating your entire backyard.
During construction is actually your sweet spot. Your grading contractor is already there, drainage is fresh on everyone's mind, and you're not disturbing established landscaping. Plus, you avoid that awkward situation where you've got a half-finished yard for a year. We coordinate with your builder's timeline to fit it in cleanly, usually after the rough grading but before final landscaping.
Not if it's the right turf and properly installed. We spec materials rated for extreme UV and use lighter-colored infill that doesn't absorb and radiate heat like cheap systems do. Cobb County's 78+ days above 90 degrees means durability is non-negotiable. Our courts stay playable and color-stable through Kennesaw summers without artificial cooling.
It's the main reason proper base preparation exists. Red clay doesn't drain on its own, so water sits and causes shifting and soft spots. We install gravel base, perforated drainage layer, and compacted sub-base to force water away from the playing surface. It's standard practice here—builders who skip it end up with courts that fail early.
Most do, including Legacy Park and Stilesboro, but rules vary. Some have color or finish preferences. We've worked with dozens of HOA guidelines in Kennesaw and can design your court to meet those requirements while keeping full functionality. Check your covenants early so we can plan accordingly during construction.
