Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Loganville side yard solves a problem a lot of families in the area face: that narrow strip of space between your house and the property line that's either too small for a real yard project or too awkward to use for anything practical. We've built dozens of these in the Downtown Loganville and Bay Creek neighborhoods, and honestly, they're some of the most-used installations we do. Your kids get a dedicated spot for basketball, pickleball, or just shooting around without tearing up the actual lawn. No more muddy patches. No more dead grass from repeated footfall. And in a place like Loganville where the summer sun can be punishing and the clay soil doesn't drain like you'd want it to, artificial turf keeps the whole thing playable year-round. Whether you're a 20-by-30 side yard or something tighter, we can make it work. We're based about 40 minutes south, so we know the Walton County landscape inside and out, and we've learned exactly how to prep these spaces so they stay level and perform the way you expect.
Loganville sits on that clay-heavy soil typical of the Walton and Gwinnett border—it's dense, it holds water, and it shifts with freeze-thaw cycles in winter. That's actually one of the biggest reasons we recommend artificial turf for side courts here: natural grass gets bogged down in spring, and by July the clay gets rock-hard and cracks. For a sport court specifically, we do a proper sub-base with drainage rock and a perforated underlayment so water doesn't pool. Side yards often get partial shade from your house and neighboring structures, especially in the Bay Creek area where lots are tighter and tree coverage is common. That's fine—artificial turf performs great in mixed sun-shade. What matters more is making sure we slope the installation slightly (we're talking 1-2%) so rain moves away from your foundation. HOA rules in some Downtown Loganville neighborhoods allow side courts as long as they're not visible from the street, so we always confirm setbacks before we start. Most side yards we work with are 15 to 35 feet long and 8 to 12 feet wide—tight enough that poor installation sticks out immediately, so we take extra care with seaming and edge detail.
It depends on your specific neighborhood rules. Downtown Loganville and Bay Creek both have active HOAs, and most allow sport courts in side yards as long as they're screened from street view. We always pull your deed restrictions before we bid, so there are no surprises. If you have one, send us a copy and we'll review it with you.
Yes, when it's installed correctly. The clay here is heavy and holds moisture, which is exactly why we install a crushed-stone base layer with perforated underlayment beneath the turf. Water drains through the turf into the base and moves away from your house. We slope installations 1-2% to keep pooling from happening, especially important in side yards near your foundation.
Most of our Loganville installs are 15 to 35 feet long and 8 to 12 feet wide. Even 12 by 20 feet works for basketball or pickleball practice. We'll come measure and show you exactly how much playable surface you've got, and we can design it so it fits your side yard without eating into your neighbor's view.
A typical side-yard court takes 2 to 4 days depending on how much base prep is needed. Clay soil sometimes requires more grading and compaction than sandy areas, but we factor that in upfront. We'll give you a timeline when we schedule—usually we can fit you in within 2 to 3 weeks.
