Design — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Marietta are becoming the go-to move for families who want a dedicated space for basketball, pickleball, or tennis without the commute to a public facility. We've installed quite a few in East Cobb and around the Whitlock area, and the difference is night and day—suddenly your backyard becomes the neighborhood gathering spot. What we love about building sport courts here is that Marietta homeowners are serious about their outdoor spaces. Whether you're near Kennesaw Mountain or closer to the Marietta Square neighborhoods, a quality artificial turf sport court handles Georgia's heat and humidity way better than natural grass ever could. The red clay soil around Cobb County tends to stay damp, which makes traditional courts a maintenance nightmare. Our artificial turf solution drains properly, stays playable year-round, and doesn't turn into a mudpit after a heavy rain. Most of our clients tell us they use their courts 2–3 times as often once installation is done, because there's no weather anxiety or lawn recovery time to worry about. From our shop, it's just 12 minutes to Marietta, so we're close enough to handle quick questions, warranty work, or upgrades without any hassle.
Marietta's combination of red clay soil and that mature oak canopy creates unique challenges for outdoor courts. The clay drains poorly on its own, which is why natural grass courts around Whitlock and East Cobb struggle with puddles and compaction. Our artificial turf systems sit on a engineered base that handles Cobb County's moisture without pooling. Shade from those oak trees is gorgeous for summer comfort, but it also means moss and algae can build up on a poorly-draining surface. We design our installations with crown drainage and proper sub-base compaction to prevent that issue entirely. Marietta's neighborhoods have varying HOA rules—some communities have specific aesthetic guidelines for court borders and colors, so we work with your HOA documentation upfront to make sure your court stays compliant. Typical residential lots in East Cobb range from 0.5 to 1.5 acres, which usually gives us room for a half-court or full-court setup without eating your entire yard. We've found that a 30×50-foot court (half-court) fits nicely on most Marietta properties and still leaves room for landscaping and entertaining space.
Absolutely. We excavate down 8–10 inches, compact the subgrade, and lay a perforated drainage layer with crushed stone. That red clay sits underneath, but the engineering keeps water moving sideways and down into drainage lines. After heavy rain around Marietta, our courts drain in 2–3 hours while natural grass courts stay boggy for days.
We typically need 30×50 feet for a half-court or 50×94 for a full court, but we can work with smaller spaces and build a practice court instead. We measure out your property in person and check your setback requirements—East Cobb and Whitlock have different rules, so we confirm everything before giving you a final layout.
Georgia heat is intense, but modern sport-court surfaces are designed for it. The turf stays firm and playable, though we recommend watering it down on 95+ degree days to keep surface temps comfortable. It's still far more durable than natural grass, which would brown out or need constant irrigation during Cobb County summers.
It depends on your neighborhood. Many Marietta communities do require approval, especially around Marietta Square and established East Cobb subdivisions. We review your HOA docs with you and often submit renderings showing color schemes and border details to speed up the approval process.
