Next Week Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Lilburn's got that perfect sweet spot for a sport court—mature tree canopy, solid neighborhoods around Killian Hill and the park area, and enough space in most yards to actually make it happen. We've installed plenty of courts in Gwinnett County, and honestly, your area is ideal because you're close enough to Atlanta for convenience but far enough out that you've got real lot sizes. A lot of homeowners around here are tired of watching their kids bounce between uneven driveways and patchy grass that turns into mud when the Yellow River gets too much moisture in the soil. That's where a real sport court comes in. It's not just about basketball or tennis—it's a flat, reliable surface that handles everything from four-square to just sitting out there with a cooler. We're about 30 minutes south, so we know the Lilburn clay, we know how drainage works in your neighborhoods, and we know exactly what kind of prep your yard needs before we lay down that surface. Whether you've got a quarter-acre or more, we can build something that actually fits your space and your lifestyle. Next week works? Let's talk through what you're thinking.
Lilburn's clay soil is dense—that Gwinnett clay doesn't drain like sandy soil does, so proper base prep isn't optional, it's essential. We always start with a compacted stone foundation because standing water in spring and after heavy rain is real in your area. Your mature trees are a mixed bag: shade keeps the court cooler in summer, which is great for durability, but you've got to think about leaf debris and root systems when we're digging out the foundation. Most Lilburn yards sit in that 0.3 to 0.5 acre range, which gives us room to work with a 30-by-60 court without eating up your whole backyard. HOA rules in some neighborhoods around Killian Hill can be particular about color and perimeter fencing, so we'll check all that before breaking ground. The Yellow River floodplain sits to the east, but standard drainage management keeps your court safe. Installation happens fast in Gwinnett—we're experienced with the soil conditions here and we've got the timeline locked in. One week from now is realistic.
That dense clay means we need a stronger base than you'd use in looser soil. We excavate, compact stone, add a geotextile layer, then your surfacing. The clay itself isn't a deal-breaker—it's actually stable once prepared right—but we always factor in extra compaction time. Drainage is key, especially with spring rainfall patterns around Lilburn.
Absolutely, and honestly the shade is a bonus in Georgia summers. We just need to plan around root systems and account for leaf cleanup. The trees around Killian Hill and the park area are typically established oaks and pines—we work around those without major removal. Partial shade won't hurt the court surface itself.
With next-week intent and favorable conditions, we're looking at 3-5 business days depending on base prep complexity and weather. Gwinnett's spring forecast is solid, so we can move fast. Site prep usually takes the longest; the actual surfacing and line work moves quickly once the foundation is locked in.
Some neighborhoods do, especially around Killian Hill—mostly about color options and whether you need perimeter screening. We handle HOA submissions and can guide you through that process. Most approve courts without issue; it just takes a conversation before we start.
