Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Lawrenceville side yard transforms dead space into a place where your family actually wants to spend time together. Whether you're in the Collins Hill area, near the historic Gwinnett Courthouse district, or anywhere across 30043–30046, that rectangular patch of red clay isn't doing much for you right now—but it could be hosting basketball games, badminton tournaments, or just becoming the neighborhood's favorite hangout spot. The thing about Gwinnett County is that our older, established lots come with real constraints. You can't always expand outward, so going vertical with a proper sport court makes genuine sense. We've installed dozens of these in Lawrenceville yards, and the reaction is always the same: homeowners can't believe they waited so long. A synthetic turf sport court handles Georgia's humidity and heat better than concrete ever could, drains properly even during our heavy summer storms, and requires almost zero maintenance compared to grass or clay. Your kids get a safe, level playing surface year-round. You get your yard back as an actual asset.
Lawrenceville's red clay soil is beautiful to look at, but it's honestly one of the main reasons a sport court makes sense here. That clay doesn't drain evenly, settles unevenly over time, and turns into soup after rain—not ideal for any outdoor activity. When we prep a site in neighborhoods around the Courthouse area or out toward Collins Hill, we're accounting for the natural slope of Gwinnett lots and making sure water moves away from your foundation and side yard. Most Lawrenceville homes sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, which means your side yard is probably your best option for a sport court. We typically see 20×40 or 16×32 dimensions work perfectly in that space without eating into your back-yard freedom. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on where you are relative to mature trees—Collins Hill properties tend to have older oaks that can shade afternoon courts beautifully, which is a genuine plus in Georgia summers. HOA communities in Lawrenceville usually require approval, but sport courts fall into 'landscape improvement' territory and almost always get signed off quickly. We handle the engineering to ensure proper slope and perimeter containment, accounting for how Gwinnett red clay moves seasonally.
Absolutely. Those mature oak trees you have are actually an advantage—they keep temperatures down during Georgia's brutal summers. Synthetic turf doesn't need direct sunlight to function, and shade actually extends the lifespan of the materials by reducing UV stress. We design drainage and slope regardless of shade patterns, so water management stays solid. Shaded courts in Lawrenceville neighborhoods are actually some of our easiest installs.
We dig down to stable subgrade, remove or compact the clay appropriately, and install a proper crushed-stone base with perforated drainage layers. The clay itself won't cause problems once the base is right—it's the uneven settlement and water pooling we're solving for. Lawrenceville rain drains off synthetic turf fast, and the engineered base system handles it without creating puddles or soft spots.
In most Gwinnett communities, yes. Sport courts are viewed as landscape improvements and recreational amenities, not structures requiring major variance. We can help with the paperwork and design submission if your HOA requires approval. We've completed dozens in Lawrenceville neighborhoods without issue—just need to confirm architectural guidelines upfront.
Typical install takes 5–7 business days, depending on subgrade prep and whether we're removing old concrete or dealing with dense red clay. Summer weather in Lawrenceville can stretch it slightly if we hit afternoon thunderstorms, but we plan around that. Site survey to completion usually spans 2–3 weeks total, accounting for materials and scheduling.
