Wheelchair Accessible — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Marietta backyard isn't just a place to shoot hoops or rally a tennis ball—it's the centerpiece that transforms how your family spends time together outdoors. We work with homeowners throughout East Cobb, West Cobb, and the Whitlock area to build courts that handle Georgia's humidity, the red clay soil we're all digging through, and those long shadows cast by the mature oak canopy that makes this part of Cobb County so beautiful. Wheelchair accessibility is built into the planning from day one, which means smooth, slip-resistant surfaces, level transitions, and enough clear space for everyone to participate comfortably. Whether you're thinking about a half-court setup near Marietta Square or a full multi-sport surface that handles basketball, pickleball, and badminton in your backyard, we handle the site prep, drainage considerations unique to this region, and the kind of installation that doesn't wash away during Georgia's summer storms. Our crew is based just 12 minutes away, so we're not flying in from Atlanta—we know the neighborhoods, we understand Cobb County drainage patterns, and we've installed dozens of courts in yards just like yours. This is the kind of project that pays dividends in property value, family engagement, and community gathering space.
Marietta's red clay base is honestly both a blessing and a challenge. It drains poorly on its own, which means any sport court we install needs a proper gravel and stone foundation underneath—we're talking 4–6 inches of engineered base to prevent pooling after heavy rain. The mature oak trees throughout East Cobb and Whitlock create shade patterns that shift dramatically from morning to afternoon, which affects how UV-resistant your court surface needs to be and how quickly algae might develop in perpetually shaded corners. Summer heat here is intense, so we spec materials that won't get dangerously hot underfoot, especially if wheelchair users or barefoot kids will be on the surface regularly. Lot sizes vary widely in Marietta—some properties near the historic neighborhoods have tighter footprints, while West Cobb developments often allow more room for a regulation or near-regulation court. Before we break ground, we always verify HOA covenants, setback requirements, and any landscape guidelines your community enforces. Drainage toward your property line and away from neighbors' foundations is non-negotiable in clay soil, so we slope every court accordingly and sometimes install French drains if the surrounding grade is problematic.
Absolutely—we design courts specifically for the dappled shade common in East Cobb. Full sun isn't always necessary, though it does help. We choose surface materials that resist algae growth in partial shade, improve drainage in clay-heavy soil, and remain safe and comfortable for wheelchair users even when wet. Shaded courts actually stay cooler, which is a bonus during Marietta's hot summers.
Red clay is our starting point for every conversation. We excavate, compact a 4–6 inch engineered base with proper gravel and stone, and slope the court 1–2% toward drainage points. In some Whitlock and West Cobb lots, we add a French drain system along the perimeter to manage clay's poor drainage. It's the foundation that keeps your court usable year-round.
That's the whole point. We build smooth, firm, slip-resistant surfaces with zero trip hazards. Court edges are level or gently ramped, clear sight lines are maintained, and we ensure enough space around the perimeter for maneuvering. Every court we build in Marietta is designed so everyone can play.
We work with Marietta HOAs regularly and know their typical guidelines. Before design, we pull covenants, confirm setbacks and color requirements, and often handle the paperwork conversation with your HOA on your behalf. It's part of our process, not a surprise at the end.
