Price Match Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become the centerpiece of backyard life across McDonough—whether you're in Eagle's Landing, Kelleytown, or anywhere else in Henry County. We get it: between the kids' basketball dreams, weekend volleyball games, and the Texas-sized appetite locals have for outdoor entertaining, a dedicated play surface makes total sense. The thing is, McDonough's clay-heavy soil and the rapid construction happening in our subdivisions mean generic turf installations often fall short. That's why we don't just drop down a court and disappear. Our price-match guarantee exists because we know families here deserve both quality craftsmanship and fair pricing—not some inflated estimate just because you're outside Atlanta. We've installed dozens of sport courts within a 45-minute radius, and we've learned exactly what holds up under Henry County summers and what falls apart by year two. This page covers what makes a sport court last in our specific climate, what questions you should be asking, and how we stand behind our work with pricing that's transparent from day one.
McDonough sits on clay-dominant soil that drains differently than sandy or loamy regions. Before we install a sport court, we assess your specific lot—especially important in the newer subdivisions popping up around Eagle's Landing, where grading and compaction vary wildly from one lot to the next. Shade patterns matter too. Properties near Heritage Park or with mature oak canopies can trap moisture longer than full-sun yards, which affects both the turf itself and the base preparation underneath. Most McDonough lots are between a quarter and half-acre, which gives us good flexibility with court sizing. We typically recommend a 30x50 or 40x40 footprint depending on your space and whether you're planning multi-sport use (basketball, volleyball, pickleball combinations). HOA communities—and there are plenty throughout Henry County—sometimes have restrictions on court placement or visibility from the street. We handle those conversations upfront so you're not caught off guard during installation. The real local trick: proper subsurface drainage. Our clay-heavy soil wants to hold water, so we don't skimp on base prep. That investment pays off the first time you get a summer thunderstorm and your court drains clean within an hour instead of becoming a mud pit.
Absolutely. Clay compacts hard and sheds water instead of absorbing it. We excavate 8–10 inches, install crushed limestone base, compact in stages, then add a drainage layer before the turf goes down. Skipping this step means pooling water and premature breakdown. Your lot's specific grading also matters—we check slope and adjust the base to match your property's natural drain patterns.
Yes, but with nuance. Partial shade (4–6 hours of direct sun) is fine. Full shade courts stay wet longer and can develop algae. If your site is heavily shaded, we can use turf blends designed for low-light areas, but drainage becomes even more critical. We'll walk your lot and give you honest feedback before committing.
We match any written quote from a licensed Georgia installer on apples-to-apples scope (same turf type, base prep, dimensions, and drainage specs). If you get a lower quote, bring it to us—we'll match it and include a two-year workmanship warranty. We're not trying to be the cheapest; we're trying to be the fairest.
Most residential courts take 3–5 days depending on base conditions and site access. Henry County's clay soil sometimes needs extra compaction time, especially after rain. We schedule around weather and give you a firm timeline before we start digging. You'll have a playable court by week's end in most cases.
