Townhome — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Living in Marietta means you've got tight spaces and big dreams. Whether you're in a East Cobb townhome near the Marietta Square or tucked into West Cobb's tree-lined neighborhoods, finding room for your kids to play basketball or practice tennis feels impossible. That's where a sport court comes in—think of it as the backyard upgrade that actually works for how townhomes are built around here. We've installed dozens of these in Cobb County, and the game-changer isn't just the court itself; it's realizing you don't need acreage to give your family an active lifestyle. A sport court fits into those compact yards that make Marietta townhomes so affordable, turns underused corner space into something functional, and honestly, increases your home's appeal when resale time comes. The whole process is simpler than most people think, especially when you're working with someone who knows Marietta's yards, drainage patterns, and how HOAs in neighborhoods like Whitlock actually feel about backyard improvements.
Marietta's red clay soil is beautiful for native oaks but brutal for standing water. That mature oak canopy we love also means dappled shade across most yards—which is actually ideal for turf courts since you're not fighting intense UV exposure like you would out in open sun. The real consideration is drainage. When we prep a site in East Cobb or West Cobb, we're always accounting for how Cobb County clay wants to hold water. Most townhome yards here run 800–1,500 square feet of usable space, so a regulation or semi-regulation court fits naturally without dominating the lot. We size courts to work with your property lines and any HOA setback requirements—and yes, nearly every neighborhood around Marietta has some. The good news: sport courts typically get approved because they're built on-grade, don't require deep excavation, and actually improve property aesthetics. Installation takes 3–5 days depending on site conditions. Our crew handles grading, base layer installation, and surface application. Since we're just 12 minutes away in Cobb County, we manage the whole timeline with minimal disruption.
Almost always, yes. Most Cobb County HOAs—including those in Whitlock and East Cobb—approve sport courts because they're permanent installations that boost property value and don't generate noise complaints like trampolines. We handle the approval process and design submissions. The key is showing architectural renderings and explaining how the court sits on your lot. We've yet to get denied in Marietta.
We don't fight the clay; we work around it. Our base layer system includes a crowned profile and perforated subsurface drainage that channels water away from the court surface and into your yard's natural slope or French drain if needed. In Cobb County clay, this setup keeps courts playable year-round, even after heavy rain.
Actually, shade helps. Less UV exposure means your court lasts longer and requires less resurfacing. The trade-off: occasional leaf cleanup. Most Marietta yards have that mature canopy, so we design courts knowing they'll see mixed sun and shade throughout the day—that's normal here and not a problem.
For a standard 30x60 court in Cobb County, you're looking at $12,000–$18,000 depending on base prep and any drainage work your lot needs. Installation runs 3–5 days. We schedule around your neighborhood's quiet hours and manage permitting. Since we're local, we can often start within 2–3 weeks of your decision.
