Satisfaction Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a sport court in your Marietta backyard means finally having the space for pickup basketball, tennis, or multi-sport play without driving to Kennesaw Mountain or booking time at the rec center. We've installed dozens of these across East Cobb and West Cobb, and the game-changer for most homeowners is realizing how much your property transforms when you add a dedicated play surface. Whether you're in 30060 or over in the Whitlock area, the red clay base and mature oak canopy create specific challenges—but that's exactly why we've dialed in the installation process for Marietta yards. A sport court isn't just about athletics; it's about reclaiming underused space and giving your family a reason to spend time outside. We're 12 minutes from most Marietta ZIP codes, so we handle site prep, base grading, and surface installation with the same attention we'd give our own properties. The satisfaction guarantee isn't marketing language—it's the standard we hold ourselves to because we live and work in this community.
Marietta's red clay soil is dense and doesn't drain like sandy loam, which means proper base preparation isn't optional—it's foundational. We excavate, compact, and install a drainage layer before the sport court surface goes down, otherwise you'll see pooling during spring rains. The mature oak canopy across much of East Cobb and Whitlock also affects how we orient courts; afternoon shade is great for playability in summer, but it can slow drying times if moisture gets trapped. Many Marietta properties sit on half-acre to one-acre lots, so we often design courts that maximize play area without overwhelming the yard footprint. HOA-governed subdivisions around the Marietta Square perimeter sometimes have specific setback or color requirements, so we review covenants early in the consultation. The elevation changes you see heading toward Kennesaw also show up in some Cobb County yards, which means we adjust base elevation and grading plan accordingly. Hardscape surfaces in Marietta tend to hold up well year-round, but we recommend reviewing drainage paths during design so runoff doesn't pond against your home or neighboring properties.
Yes, absolutely. Red clay is heavy and holds water, so we don't just lay surface over native soil. We excavate to remove clay, install a compacted gravel base, add a drainage layer, and then set your court surface. This prevents settling and pooling—especially critical during Marietta's wetter spring months. Proper grading ensures water moves away from your home and neighboring yards.
Shade itself isn't a problem—it actually keeps the court cooler in summer. The real issue is debris and moisture retention. We design courts with slight crown and drainage so leaves don't create wet pockets. If you've got heavy canopy, occasional clearing during fall keeps performance optimal. We've built courts under similar conditions across Marietta without issues.
Most residential courts take 5–7 business days from excavation through final surface cure, depending on lot size and base conditions. Weather in Cobb County can add a day or two if we hit rain, but we plan around spring and fall wet seasons. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the site visit, whether you're in 30062, 30067, or any other Marietta ZIP.
We guarantee workmanship, proper drainage, and surface-level performance for one full year. If the court settles, shows premature wear, or doesn't drain as designed, we return and fix it—no arguments. We back this because we know Marietta soil, climate, and homeowner expectations. Your confidence is worth more than cutting corners.
