Award Winning — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become a game-changer for families across Lithonia and the surrounding DeKalb County neighborhoods. Whether you're in Downtown Lithonia, near the Stonecrest area, or anywhere in between, a dedicated sport court transforms how your family plays at home. We've installed dozens of award-winning courts throughout the region, and we understand what makes them work in our specific climate and soil conditions. A sport court isn't just a surface—it's a place where your kids can shoot hoops, practice tennis, or play pickleball without wearing out your yard or spending hours commuting to rec centers. The beauty of a well-designed court is that it handles Georgia's humidity, intense summer sun, and those clay-heavy soil conditions that come with living near Arabia Mountain. We've been serving Lithonia and DeKalb County for years, and we've earned our reputation by building courts that last and perform. If you've been thinking about adding one to your property, now's the time to learn what's possible in your yard.
Lithonia's location in East DeKalb means you're dealing with some unique soil characteristics. That granite outcrop near Arabia Mountain means many yards have clay-heavy, compacted earth that needs proper base preparation before installation. The good news? We know exactly how to handle it. Your sport court foundation matters just as much as the playing surface itself. Sun exposure is another big consideration here. Properties near Downtown Lithonia and the Stonecrest area vary widely—some yards are shaded by mature trees, while others get full afternoon heat. We assess your specific lot to determine if you need court orientation adjustments or drainage solutions. Georgia's humidity also means your turf needs proper sub-base drainage and ventilation to prevent moisture buildup under the surface. Most Lithonia properties have yards sized between a quarter-acre and half-acre, which gives us room to create multi-sport courts or hybrid layouts. We always recommend discussing any HOA landscape guidelines with your development—some neighborhoods have specific color or material standards. Our installation crew is familiar with the terrain, soil conditions, and typical lot layouts in your area, which means faster, cleaner installation with fewer surprises.
Absolutely. Clay soil is actually common in Lithonia due to the granite geology near Arabia Mountain. The key is installing a proper engineered base layer—crushed stone, compacted subgrade, and drainage fabric. We've done this hundreds of times in East DeKalb. Without the right foundation, moisture gets trapped and surfaces deteriorate. We build from the ground up to handle your specific soil type.
Humidity is real, but it's not a deal-breaker. Our turf systems are designed for Southeast climates and include drainage features that prevent water pooling and algae growth. We slope courts properly and use permeable sub-bases so water moves away from the playing surface. Regular light maintenance keeps everything in top shape year-round.
Most yards in Lithonia and the Stonecrest area have enough space. A half-court basketball setup takes roughly 2,400 square feet, while a full court or multi-sport layout needs more room. We do a free site evaluation to show you exactly what fits your property and how we'd orient it for sun, shade, and drainage.
A typical residential court takes 5–10 business days from excavation to final turf installation, depending on site prep and your clay soil conditions. We handle permitting and coordinate around your schedule. Weather can add a few days, but we plan ahead for Georgia's rain patterns.
