Lifetime Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Lithonia are becoming a game-changer for families who want their kids shooting hoops or playing tennis without driving all the way to Stonecrest or heading downtown. The thing is, though, Lithonia's clay-heavy soil and that granite-outcrop terrain mean your yard needs special attention before you pour a court foundation. We've installed dozens of sport courts across DeKalk County, and the ones that last—the ones with real longevity—start with understanding your specific lot. Whether you're in the 30038 or 30058 zip code, near Arabia Mountain or closer to the neighborhoods around Downtown Lithonia, the installation process isn't cookie-cutter. Your soil composition, drainage patterns, and how the sun hits your property in July versus January all matter. That's why we back every sport court we build with a lifetime warranty. You're not just getting a playing surface; you're investing in something that handles Lithonia's weather swings, the red clay underneath, and years of hard use from your family.
Lithonia sits on East DeKalb clay with granite bedrock closer to the surface than you'd find in other Atlanta suburbs. That means drainage is critical—clay holds water, and if your sport court doesn't have proper grading and a solid base, you'll see puddles after rain and potential settling over time. The good news: our installation crew knows this terrain inside and out. We account for it in the foundation work. Sun exposure varies depending on which neighborhood you're in. Properties near Arabia Mountain or the Stonecrest area sometimes have shade from tree canopy, while other Lithonia yards get full afternoon sun exposure. Both situations affect how the synthetic turf performs and how it ages. If you're in a community with HOA guidelines—common in the Stonecrest neighborhoods—there may be restrictions on court dimensions, colors, or fencing. We'll help you navigate those before we break ground. Most Lithonia residential lots have enough space for a quarter or half court, which fits nicely without dominating the yard. The clay soil also means we sometimes need to add extra drainage layers. That's built into our warranty coverage.
Absolutely. Clay drains slowly and shifts with freeze-thaw cycles. If the base isn't properly compacted and graded, you'll get settling and cracking. Our lifetime warranty covers this because we install sport courts with reinforced foundations specific to Lithonia's soil profile. We've seen poorly installed courts in the 30038 zip code fail within five years; ours are designed to last decades.
Look for relatively level ground away from downspouts and French drains. If you're near Arabia Mountain or in a wooded lot, morning shade is fine—afternoon sun can be harsh. Avoid spots where water pools after rain. We'll assess your lot during the free consultation and point out the ideal spot based on drainage, sun, and usable space.
Many communities allow them with size and color restrictions. We've worked through approval processes in Lithonia neighborhoods and know what typically gets flagged. Bring us your HOA guidelines, and we'll design a court that complies. Most approvals take 2-3 weeks once we submit the plan.
We cover material defects, seam separation, and turf degradation for life. We don't cover normal wear, but our synthetic surface handles Lithonia's hot summers and occasional ice storms without issue. If something fails due to installation or materials, we fix or replace it. That's our commitment to every Lithonia family we work with.
