Playground — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
McCollum sits right on that sweet spot in East Cobb where you've got families who actually use their yards—and kids who need a real place to play. The area around the airport corridor and into the McCollum neighborhoods tends to be a mix of older established homes and newer builds, which means we see everything from compact quarter-acre lots to sprawling properties. Sport courts have become a game-changer for parents around here. Instead of driving kids all over Cobb County for basketball or tennis, you build it at home. We've installed dozens of sport courts in this zip code, and honestly, the local soil conditions and yard setups work better than you'd think for this kind of project. The clay-heavy earth in East Cobb actually provides solid drainage when we prep it right, and most McCollum properties get decent sun exposure without the extreme afternoon bake you see further south. You're looking at a court that handles Georgia's humidity, the occasional hard rain, and year-round play—no excuses needed.
East Cobb clay is dense and doesn't drain on its own, so we always start with a proper base layer when we're building a sport court in McCollum. That clay holds moisture, especially during our wet springs, which is exactly why the substrate matters. We typically use a combination of crushed stone and geo-fabric to keep water moving underneath while the artificial turf stays playable on top. Sun patterns vary across McCollum depending on whether you're backing up to woods or sitting in an open lot. Most yards in this area get 6–8 hours of direct sun, which is ideal for synthetic surfaces—keeps them from staying damp and extends the life of the material. One thing we always discuss with McCollum homeowners: lot sizes. Properties near the airport corridor tend to be smaller, so we often design courts around existing structures—pools, sheds, trees. HOA restrictions are less common in this part of East Cobb compared to some subdivisions, but we always verify setback requirements. The neighborhood character tends to favor practical improvements, and a sport court reads as a solid investment rather than a novelty.
Absolutely. We don't need to dig out and replace your soil. Instead, we build a proper drainage base on top of the existing clay—crushed stone, then geo-fabric, then the court system. This approach is standard in East Cobb and actually works with the clay rather than against it. You're looking at 4–6 inches of base prep, not a full excavation project.
With Georgia's humidity and our spring rains, you're getting 10–12 years of solid play out of a quality court. Maintenance matters—rinse it down after heavy use, clear debris—but McCollum's weather isn't extreme enough to shorten that timeline. We've got installations from 2014 still holding up around the area.
Most residential lots in the McCollum area are 0.25 to 0.5 acres, so full regulation courts are tight. We typically build 30x50 multipurpose courts that handle basketball, tennis, or pickle ball. If your lot is smaller, we've designed 24x44 half-courts that still give you solid gameplay without eating up your entire yard.
Depends on your specific neighborhood. East Cobb properties outside strict subdivision covenants usually don't face restrictions, but we always verify during the consultation. Even where HOAs exist, sport courts are typically approved as long as they meet setback requirements. We handle the paperwork and get confirmation before we break ground.
