Fast Turnaround — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
You've got a vision for your backyard in Lithonia—maybe a basketball court for the kids, a multipurpose zone for weekend games, or a tennis setup that actually stays usable year-round. The problem is that East DeKalb clay soil and our Georgia humidity make traditional courts a maintenance nightmare. Cracks appear, water pools, and within two seasons you're looking at costly repairs instead of actually using the thing. That's where synthetic sport courts come in. We've installed dozens across the Stonecrest area and Downtown Lithonia, and the feedback is always the same: homeowners get a durable, all-weather playing surface that handles our climate without the constant upkeep. Whether you're in a property near Arabia Mountain or closer to the Mall at Stonecrest corridor, the installation process is straightforward and fast. Most projects wrap in just a few days, meaning your family can start using it before the weekend. We handle the site prep, manage the unique drainage challenges that come with our granite-influenced soil, and make sure your court is built to last.
Lithonia's location on the eastern edge of DeKalb County means you're dealing with clay soil that sits over granite bedrock—that Arabian Mountain granite outcrop influences the whole area. This is actually good news for sport courts because it means excellent drainage once we get the base right. What doesn't work is trying to pour a traditional asphalt or concrete court on unprepped clay; it'll crack and shift with our freeze-thaw cycles. Your backyard's sun exposure matters too. If you're in the Stonecrest neighborhoods with mature oak canopy, afternoon shade is a natural benefit. Full-sun yards need slightly different turf specifications to handle Georgia's intense summer heat. We assess each property individually—no two yards are identical, especially across Lithonia's varied topography. HOA rules in some developments restrict dark-colored surfaces for heat reflection, so we confirm compliance before installation. Most residential lots here are sized for a half or full court, and we've got experience working within the constraints of both compact spaces near Downtown Lithonia and larger properties further out. Our crew handles site leveling, sub-base installation, and proper edging to prevent the turf from shifting during heavy play or Georgia's heavier rainfall months.
Most courts are completely installed within 3–5 business days, depending on site prep. We're only 35 minutes from Lithonia, so scheduling is flexible. If your yard needs leveling or drainage work due to the clay soil common in East DeKalb, that might extend the timeline by a day. We'll give you a realistic schedule upfront so you know exactly when the court is game-ready.
Actually, it's a positive. Granite subsoil provides excellent natural drainage once we establish proper grading and a base layer. The challenge is the clay layer above it—we handle that by excavating to the right depth, installing a compacted base, and sloping for water runoff. Your court will shed water instead of trapping it, which matters a lot during Georgia's spring rains.
Yes. Modern sport court turf is engineered for Georgia's climate. We use materials that resist UV degradation and don't become dangerously hot in direct sun. Proper drainage (critical here, given our soil) and infill selection prevent moisture buildup that causes mold or algae. Your court stays playable through summer without the maintenance headaches of traditional surfaces.
Some developments have guidelines about court color, size, or placement. We've worked with dozens of Lithonia HOAs and know the typical rules. Before we move forward, we'll help you confirm what's allowed in your neighborhood. Most approve sport courts readily—they're cleaner and quieter than traditional courts, which HOAs actually prefer.
