Master Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Lithonia have become a real game-changer for families across DeKalb County—especially in the Stonecrest area and closer to Downtown Lithonia where backyards are getting smarter about how they're used. Whether you've got kids who want a dedicated basketball court, teenagers into pickle ball, or you just want a low-maintenance surface that handles Georgia's humidity without turning into a swamp, an artificial sport court might be exactly what you're missing. We've been installing these systems throughout East DeKalb for years, and we've learned what works around Arabia Mountain's granite-heavy soil and the clay conditions that come with it. The truth is, natural grass courts don't cut it here—they get waterlogged, they wear bare in high-traffic zones, and they need constant attention. A quality sport court handles everything Georgia throws at it, stays playable year-round, and honestly, it transforms how your family uses your outdoor space. Our team knows Lithonia's neighborhoods inside and out, and we're just 35 minutes away when you need us.
Lithonia's soil is no joke—that East DeKalb clay mixed with granite outcropping means drainage is a real consideration if you're putting in a sport court. Most properties here sit either in full sun or with significant afternoon shade depending on whether you're near the Stonecrest area or closer to tree-lined sections around Downtown Lithonia. We always account for that when sizing courts and choosing surface materials that won't get slippery in shade or too hot underfoot during summer. Yard sizes vary dramatically across the ZIP codes (30038 and 30058), so we'll custom-fit your court to what you've actually got—some properties have the space for a full 30x60 court, others need something more compact. A few neighborhoods have HOA guidelines about color and boundary fencing, which we handle during the consultation. The granite substrate in parts of Lithonia means we sometimes need to add grading or a proper base layer before installation, which adds precision to the job but ensures your court sits right and drains properly through our Georgia rainy seasons.
The key is getting the drainage right under the surface. We install a proper stone base layer that compensates for Lithonia's clay conditions and granite-heavy soils. Our sport court systems are engineered to shed water quickly and handle the moisture that comes with DeKalb County's climate. It won't puddle, and it won't compress like natural grass does in humid conditions.
Some Lithonia neighborhoods do have landscape covenants—we check that before you commit to anything. Most HOAs are fine with sport courts if they're set back properly and match approved colors. We've worked through plenty of approvals in the area and handle those conversations as part of the process.
That depends entirely on your lot. We've installed everything from 20x40 courts in tighter spots to full-size basketball courts on larger properties across Lithonia's ZIP codes. During our free site visit, we'll measure, check sun exposure, and propose what actually works for your space—not what we wish would fit.
A standard residential sport court usually takes 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on what we find when we prep your soil. East DeKalb's granite substrate sometimes means extra grading, but that's why we do a thorough site assessment upfront. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we break ground.
