Contractor — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
McDonough's neighborhoods—Eagle's Landing, Kelleytown, and the areas surrounding Heritage Park—have grown fast over the past decade. That means a lot of young families with kids who want a reliable place to shoot hoops, play tennis, or just get outside without worrying about mud and dead grass. Sport courts hit different in Henry County. Our clay soil holds moisture longer than you'd think, which makes a natural grass court turn into a soggy mess by mid-spring. A synthetic sport court? It drains instantly, handles the heat Georgia throws at you in summer, and stays playable year-round. We've installed courts for families all over McDonough—folks in Eagle's Landing with bigger lots, properties near McDonough Square where space is tighter, and everything in between. The investment pays off fast, especially if you've got kids who actually use it. No more excuses about weather. No more "the yard's too wet today." Just a clean, professional playing surface that looks sharp and performs better than anything natural.
Henry County's clay-heavy soil is beautiful for growing trees and keeping subdivisions green, but it's terrible for drainage on sport courts. You'll see water pooling after rain if you go the grass route—that's just the soil's nature around here. Our synthetic courts bypass that problem entirely. The other thing to consider: McDonough summers are intense. Direct sun exposure on dark court surfaces can get uncomfortable underfoot in July and August, so we often recommend lighter-colored acrylic finishes or positioning courts with some tree shade (especially valuable if you've got mature oaks like many properties in Eagle's Landing do). Most of the residential courts we build in McDonough run 30–40 feet in one direction, fitting nicely into those quarter-acre to half-acre lots common in newer subdivisions. HOA rules vary—some communities around Heritage Park and in the developed sections have specific guidelines about court visibility from the street, so we always review covenants upfront. Installation typically takes 5–7 days depending on site prep. The clay needs proper grading and a solid base layer, which adds a bit of labor compared to sandier soil, but it's worth doing right. We've been doing this long enough to know what works in Henry County.
Almost always, yes. Henry County's clay tends to settle unevenly, and we see a lot of drainage issues in as-built yards around Eagle's Landing and Kelleytown. We'll assess your lot and let you know if grading is necessary—it usually is. Proper grading ensures water runs off instead of pooling, which protects your court surface and keeps it playable after rain.
The main difference is acrylic hardness and line markings. Basketball courts are typically faster with a slightly harder acrylic blend; tennis courts need more grip and shock absorption for lateral movement. We can build either on the same base system. Some McDonough families do combination courts for multi-sport use, though you'll sacrifice some performance specialization.
A well-maintained court lasts 8–12 years before needing resurfacing. Georgia's heat and humidity are tougher than northern climates, but that's why we use UV-stable acrylic and quality base layers. Proper drainage—critical in McDonough's clay—extends the life significantly. Annual pressure washing and minor repairs keep things looking sharp.
Some communities have restrictions, others don't. We always check your deed and covenants first. Courts in backyards usually clear HOA review easier than front-yard installations. If you're in Eagle's Landing or another gated community, we'll handle the approval process with you and design the court to fit any visibility guidelines.
