Airbnb Upgrade — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Marietta backyard isn't just a court—it's a reason for neighbors to walk past and ask questions. Whether you're in East Cobb, West Cobb, or near Whitlock, having a dedicated space for basketball, tennis, or pickle ball changes how your family actually uses the yard. We've installed plenty of these around Marietta, and the pattern is always the same: once it's down, it becomes the gathering spot. The appeal goes beyond recreation, too. Airbnb hosts in the Marietta area—especially those with properties near the Marietta Square or with views toward Kennesaw Mountain—find that a sport court is a genuine differentiator. Guests aren't just renting a backyard; they're getting an experience. Professional-grade artificial turf holds up through Georgia's humid summers and red clay drainage challenges that plague so many local yards. Installation is straightforward if you're working with someone who knows Cobb County soil and local building codes. We're based just 12 minutes from downtown Marietta, so we understand exactly what your property is working with.
Marietta sits on that famous Cobb County red clay, which drains differently than you'd expect. Sounds counterintuitive, but clay actually requires more attention to subsurface prep than sandy soil—we always install proper base layers and French drain solutions to keep water from pooling under the turf. The mature oak canopy across much of East and West Cobb creates shade patterns that shift throughout the day. A sport court in deep shade needs different turf specifications than one in open sun, and we'll walk your property at different times to map that out. HOA rules in some Marietta neighborhoods include restrictions on court dimensions or color schemes, so we check covenants early. Most residential lots in the 30060–30068 zip codes have enough space for a 30x60 court, though we've done smaller configurations too. The Georgia heat and humidity can stress cheaper turf systems, but quality artificial surfaces actually perform better here than natural grass would—less disease pressure, no mud after rain, and playable within hours of a storm. Winter is mild enough that your court stays usable year-round, which rental properties love.
Yes. Red clay compacts differently and drains slower than other soils, so we install a thicker gravel and sand base layer than standard. We also run perimeter drainage to prevent water from sitting under the surface. It's extra work upfront, but it keeps your court level and playable for 10+ years without soggy spots after heavy rain.
Absolutely. Guests actually prefer shaded courts because they can play comfortably in summer heat. We'll choose turf that performs well in partial shade and holds color even under oak canopy. Many Marietta rental properties with courts get higher bookings specifically because guests can use them without baking in the sun.
A standard multi-sport court runs 30x60 feet. Most homes in East Cobb and West Cobb have room for that or a 28x50 compact version. We'll measure your property and work around existing trees, patios, and setback requirements. Even smaller backyards can accommodate a 20x40 half-court.
Monthly brushing and occasional rinse to clear dust and pollen—pretty minimal. Georgia humidity doesn't damage the turf like it would natural grass. We recommend a professional cleaning once yearly. Most Marietta customers spend maybe an hour a month on maintenance, which is why they love it for rentals.
