Urgent Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Lithonia are becoming the go-to move for families who want a dedicated space without the maintenance headache. Whether you're in Downtown Lithonia, the Stonecrest area, or anywhere in between, we understand that your backyard is prime real estate—and you're not trying to spend weekends watering, weeding, or dealing with Georgia's clay turning into a mudpit. A quality artificial sport court gives you year-round usability. Basketball, pickleball, tennis, multi-sport setups—whatever your family is into, we can build it. The east DeKalb landscape means you're working with clay soil and some tricky drainage situations, but that's exactly why professional installation matters. We've been handling Lithonia yards for years, and we know what holds up in your climate. Getting this done right means your court stays playable through summer heat, winter rain, and everything in between. Let's talk about turning that yard into something your family actually uses every single day.
Lithonia's soil presents some specific challenges worth addressing upfront. That clay-heavy composition near the granite outcrop means water doesn't drain like it does in sandier regions. For a sport court, this matters because improper base prep will lead to puddles, shifting, and premature wear. We always start with a gravel base layer and slope the entire court slightly—usually toward a perimeter drainage area—to keep water moving. The neighborhoods around Downtown Lithonia and Stonecrest vary in lot size and orientation. Some yards get hammered by afternoon sun; others sit under mature trees for much of the day. Both situations are fine, but we design the court layout accordingly. Sun exposure affects how warm the surface gets in summer—something to consider if you're playing in July. We also check whether your property falls under any HOA landscaping guidelines. Some communities have restrictions on court color or placement, and we'll work within those parameters from the start. Our 35-minute drive from HQ means we can schedule installation quickly, often completing residential courts within 2-3 days once site prep is done.
Absolutely, but the base layer is non-negotiable. We excavate to proper depth, add compacted gravel for drainage, and then lay the court material. The granite-outcrop area has good drainage if prepped correctly. Poor prep is what causes problems—we make sure water routes away from the court, not under it. This is where professional installation beats DIY every time in Lithonia.
Our standard timeline is 2-3 days for site prep and installation combined. Since we're based 35 minutes away, we can often schedule urgent installs within a week. Weather permitting, we'll get you playing fast. We always confirm the forecast before starting—nobody wants a fresh court disrupted by rain during the curing phase.
It depends on your lot, but we typically see 2,000–4,000 square feet available in Stonecrest area homes. A full-size basketball court is about 4,700 sq ft; a smaller multi-sport or pickleball setup runs 1,500–2,500 sq ft. We'll survey your yard, check sun and shade patterns, and propose layouts that maximize playability and fit your HOA rules if applicable.
DeKalb County does require permits for most court installations. We handle the permitting paperwork as part of our service, so you don't have to navigate that yourself. It adds a week or two to the overall timeline, but it's the right way to do it and protects your investment long-term.
