Certified Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
McDonough's neighborhoods—Eagle's Landing, Kelleytown, and the areas surrounding Heritage Park—have seen explosive growth over the last decade. That means a lot of new homes with yard space, but also a lot of families asking the same question: how do I get a functional outdoor court without spending every weekend maintaining it? Sport courts are becoming the answer. Whether you've got kids in basketball, tennis, or pickleball, or you just want a place to shoot around without worrying about mud patches from our Henry County clay, an artificial turf sport court delivers. We've installed courts across the McDonough area, and what we've learned is that one yard's layout and sun exposure is never quite like the next. That's why we don't use cookie-cutter designs. We show up, assess your property, talk through what you actually use your yard for, and build something that fits. No sales pitch, no pressure—just honest work from a team that knows this region.
Henry County's clay-heavy soil is tough on natural grass courts. You get drainage issues after rain, compaction that kills turf, and weeds that thrive in that dense clay. Rapid-growth subdivisions like those in Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown often mean properties are smaller and designed with shared HOA landscape guidelines—something you'll want to check before installation. Most McDonough yards we work with are 30 to 50 feet on one side, which is perfect for a regulation sport court footprint, though we always measure twice and plan around existing trees and shade patterns. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on which neighborhood you're in and what direction your property faces. We scope shade during different times of day because afternoon shadows from surrounding homes can affect playing conditions and how fast the court surface wears. Our crew handles the clay prep by removing the top 4 to 6 inches, compacting subgrade properly, and installing a engineered base layer that actually drains—no pooling in McDonough's rainy seasons. Finish grading is critical here; we set the court to shed water away from your home and toward your property's natural drainage.
Absolutely. Clay doesn't drain naturally, so we don't just lay base material on top of it. We remove the problematic soil, compact the subgrade with stone base, and add a permeable layer system designed for clay-heavy regions. This prevents the puddling and soft spots you'd otherwise get after McDonough rain. It takes longer than some installs, but it's the only way to build something that lasts.
Most HOAs in those subdivisions allow them, but rules vary. We always recommend checking your deed restrictions and HOA guidelines before we measure. Some communities have color or height restrictions. We've worked with several Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown HOAs, so we can usually point you toward what's typical, but your specific covenants come first.
Courts need at least 4 to 5 hours of direct sun daily to dry properly and maintain surface integrity. If your yard gets heavy afternoon shade from neighboring homes or large trees, we'll assess whether trimming or repositioning makes sense, or if a shaded court is actually what works best for your family's play schedule.
For a standard residential court, plan 5 to 8 days once we start—that accounts for site prep, base work, and surface installation. Our crew manages rain delays common to this region, and we always protect existing landscaping. We'll give you a timeline that reflects McDonough's weather patterns, not a generic estimate.
