Renovation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your sport court in McCollum has probably taken a beating. That red clay soil we've got here in East Cobb is brutal on natural grass—it compacts like concrete, drains poorly after our summer downpours, and leaves you with bare patches come fall. Whether you're in the McCollum area proper or closer to the aviation corridor near the airport, the weather patterns are the same: hot summers, humid springs, and grass that just can't keep up with family use. Artificial turf solves this completely. No more watering during drought restrictions, no mud tracked into the house, no replanting every season. Your kids can play year-round without destroying the yard. We've installed dozens of sport courts across Cobb County, and we're only 15 minutes from your place, so we know exactly what works here. A quality synthetic surface handles the clay base properly, drains right, and gives you that consistent playable surface that natural grass simply can't match in our climate. Whether it's basketball, tennis, or just a flat, usable backyard, we can build it to last.
McCollum's soil profile is primarily East Cobb clay—dense, heavy stuff that doesn't absorb water quickly. This actually works in your favor for artificial turf installation because we need a stable, compacted base. We'll lay crushed stone and proper drainage fabric over that clay to shed water away from the court, which matters because summer thunderstorms roll through here hard and fast. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're nestled near tree lines or in more open residential areas. Some yards get brutal afternoon heat reflecting off nearby structures, especially if you're in the aviation corridor zones where there's less shade canopy. We factor that into material selection—some synthetic turfs hold up better under intense UV. Most residential properties around here have reasonable lot sizes, though we've done renovations on everything from compact 1,200-square-foot courts to expansive setups. HOA restrictions in Cobb County neighborhoods typically allow artificial turf for sport courts, but we always verify your specific community guidelines before we start. Ground prep is critical with our clay base—we'll grade properly and ensure zero pooling, because standing water is the enemy of longevity.
Absolutely. Our synthetic surfaces are UV-stabilized specifically for Georgia's climate. The material won't degrade under intense sun, and the drainage system we install prevents the moisture buildup that causes mold in humid conditions. You'll actually find the court more playable in summer than natural grass—no burn spots, no slick wet patches after rain.
Cobb County rarely requires permits for residential sport court installations unless you're significantly altering drainage or grading. We handle the paperwork and verify all setback requirements. Your neighborhood HOA may have design guidelines, but those are typically about appearance, not installation itself. We'll confirm everything upfront.
We excavate to proper depth, compact the clay base firmly, then add crushed stone and drainage fabric. The clay actually provides excellent stability once compacted—it's the water management that matters. We slope the court slightly to direct runoff, preventing puddles and extending the turf lifespan significantly.
Yes, though some trees need selective pruning to allow adequate light. We assess sun angles during consultation and may recommend clearing lower branches. Even partial-shade courts work well with modern synthetics. Some families prefer this—it keeps the surface cooler and reduces glare during afternoon play.
