Recycled Materials — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
McCollum sits right on the East Cobb border—a neighborhood that's grown a lot over the past decade, especially with the aviation corridor activity nearby. A lot of homeowners here are thinking about their outdoor spaces differently now. Instead of fighting that thick clay soil every spring and summer, they're going with sport courts built on recycled materials. We've been installing these systems across the area, and honestly, it makes sense for McCollum's climate and the way families actually use their yards. A sport court isn't just for basketball anymore. We're talking multipurpose surfaces that handle everything from pickle ball to just having a clean, level play area for kids. The recycled rubber and plastic base we use doesn't compact the way natural soil does, which matters when you're dealing with East Cobb's dense clay. Plus, these courts drain really well—important in Georgia where afternoon thunderstorms can turn a regular yard into a muddy mess. Our team is just 15 minutes away, so we know McCollum's specific challenges: the tree coverage in some neighborhoods, the way properties slope, and what your neighbors' yards look like. We show up knowing what we're walking into, not guessing.
East Cobb clay is no joke. It's heavy, compacts easily, and doesn't drain the way sandy or loamy soil does. When you're thinking about a sport court in McCollum, that clay actually works in your favor because the recycled base material we install sits on top of it, creating a stable, predictable surface. We're not fighting the soil—we're working around it. Sun exposure varies a lot depending on whether your lot backs up toward the tree lines or sits more open near the McCollum Airport corridor. Some properties get afternoon shade from mature oaks, which keeps the court cooler in summer but can extend drying time after rain. We assess each yard individually because what works on one street might need tweaking a block over. Most McCollum lots are anywhere from a quarter-acre to half-acre, which gives us solid room for a 30x50 court or even a combination setup. The recycled material base handles the clay underneath without settling, and we always verify drainage patterns before we start. HOA guidelines in some McCollum neighborhoods have specific requirements about court coloring and setback distances, so we check those details upfront with our clients.
Absolutely. Recycled rubber and plastic are engineered to handle Georgia's climate. The material breathes better than you'd think, and it doesn't get scorching hot like concrete does. We've got plenty of courts running strong through multiple summers in East Cobb. The key is proper drainage underneath—which our installation handles—so moisture doesn't get trapped against that clay.
No. Recycled rubber granules are bound together, not loose. During our McCollum installations, we engineer the base slope so water moves off the court into proper drainage. The material stays put, even in the afternoon storms we see here. We don't cut corners on the foundation layer.
Most courts are playable within 24–48 hours of completion, depending on whether we've had rain. We schedule installations with McCollum's weather patterns in mind. A few light games can usually happen the next day; full, heavy use we recommend waiting a couple days to let everything settle.
It adds appeal, especially to families with kids. Buyers see a well-built, low-maintenance play space as a genuine asset. In East Cobb, where outdoor living is important, a sport court often stands out. We've seen properties with courts attract more interest than those without, though it depends on the overall property condition too.
