Older Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Mableton backyard is one of those projects that sounds expensive until you start thinking about what you're actually getting: a dedicated space where your family plays instead of scrolling indoors, a court surface that doesn't turn into a mud pit after the South Cobb rains, and honestly, a reason to finally use that back corner of your yard that's been sitting empty. Whether your house is near Heritage Park or tucked into one of the older neighborhoods around here, most properties have the space to work with—and if you're tired of the clay soil staining shoes and the natural grass dying under the afternoon sun, you're a perfect candidate. We've been installing sport courts across Cobb County for years, and we're just 18 minutes from your place in Mableton, so we know exactly what works on this soil, how the seasons hit your yards, and what your neighbors' courts look like after three years of Georgia weather. It's not about building something that looks good on day one; it's about building something that still feels solid when your kids are teenagers.
Mableton sits on that transitional suburban clay that characterizes South Cobb—the same stuff that makes spring yard work a wrestling match. That clay base is actually your friend during installation because it compacts well and gives your sport court a stable foundation. What it's not your friend with is drainage; we always account for that when we're planning the base layers, especially since Heritage Park and the surrounding neighborhoods catch water after heavy rain. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether your lot is tree-heavy or more open—some of the older homes around here have mature oaks that provide afternoon shade, which is great for playing comfort but means we have to plan the court orientation carefully so puddles don't collect in shadowed corners. Most Mableton residential lots run between a quarter and half acre, which gives us room to fit a regulation-sized or scaled court without eating your entire yard. We also pay attention to HOA guidelines in Heritage Park and similar developments; some have landscape requirements we'll coordinate with before we break ground. The clay soil and Georgia's humidity mean we're using artificial turf that handles moisture without matting down—totally different product selection than you'd use in dry climates.
Yes. The clay soil you've got actually compacts predictably, which means we can install proper base drainage under the turf. We've done dozens of Mableton courts on properties where drainage was a concern. The key is planning the subsurface right and making sure water moves away from the court, not pooling under it. Your older lot might have settled unevenly, but that's something we assess during the site visit.
A standard basketball court is about 4,700 square feet; a tennis court is similar. Most Mableton residential lots can fit one comfortably without sacrificing your entire usable yard space. We'll measure during consultation and show you options—some people go smaller, some go multi-sport. It depends on your actual square footage and what you want to play.
If your property is in a managed community like Heritage Park, yes—you'll need approval. We handle those conversations regularly and know what landscape committees typically require. If you're not in an HOA, you're clear, though we always recommend checking with Cobb County on any setback or fence regulations. We can guide you through it.
Not the same way. Heat actually extends the playing season here—the turf stays firm and responsive year-round. Humidity can cause minor matting if drainage isn't right, which is why the base installation matters so much on Mableton's clay. The turf we use is designed for Southeast conditions specifically. Natural grass would be stressed constantly; turf thrives.
