Veteran Owned — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Marietta aren't just about basketball or tennis anymore. Families across East Cobb and West Cobb are building backyard courts that handle everything from pickle ball to multi-sport training—and artificial turf is what makes them work year-round in Georgia's humid climate. We've been installing these systems throughout Cobb County for years, and Marietta homeowners have figured out what works: a durable playing surface that doesn't turn into a mud pit after rain or bake under the summer sun. Whether you're in the neighborhoods near Whitlock or closer to the Marietta Square area, the reality is that Georgia red clay and mature oak canopies create real challenges for natural grass courts. That's where engineered turf comes in. It drains fast, stays playable in shade, and holds up to the kind of use families actually demand. We're veteran-owned, we know the Marietta market inside and out, and we're just 12 minutes away when you need us to assess your yard and talk through what a sport court actually looks like installed on your property.
Cobb County's red clay is dense and compacts easily—that's a problem when you're building a sport court because drainage becomes critical. We excavate and grade properly, then build a foundation that handles the clay's tendency to hold water. The oak canopy covering most Marietta lots is beautiful for shade, but it means your court might be in dappled or partial shade depending on time of day. We size and recommend turf systems that perform well in those conditions; some courts need extra drainage layers if they're under heavy tree cover. Most Marietta properties sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, so we're typically building courts that fit the space without overwhelming the yard. HOA rules vary across neighborhoods—some require specific line colors or setbacks from property lines—so we always pull your covenants before we start. The humidity means mold prevention matters; we use anti-microbial infill and ensure ventilation underneath. Winter here is mild enough that courts stay playable year-round, but we do account for occasional freeze-thaw cycles when we select base materials.
Yes, and we design for it. Partial shade actually helps with temperature—courts don't get as hot. We use infill and backing systems that shed moisture quickly even in dappled light, and we ensure your base has proper slope so water moves off instead of pooling under the canopy. Full shade can slow drying, so we assess tree density and might recommend enhanced drainage if needed.
It's something we manage, not a deal-breaker. Red clay compacts, which actually helps stabilize the base—but we excavate to proper depth and add gravel layers to break up the clay and improve drainage. Your court sits above the problematic clay layer once we're done, and that's why the Marietta installs we've completed drain so well even after heavy rain.
Most of the time, yes. We work with existing landscapes—we don't clear unless you want us to. Your lot size usually accommodates a court without major disruption. We'll walk your property, show you how it fits, and talk through any grading needed. Many Marietta courts fit perfectly between the house and back fence with minimal site prep.
Brush it weekly to fluff the fibers, rinse monthly, and check infill levels seasonally—humidity accelerates infill compaction. We're 12 minutes away for any maintenance or repairs. Most courts in Marietta need brushing more often than drier climates, but it's simple work you can handle yourself or we can set up a maintenance plan.
