Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Milton's rolling terrain and those sprawling estate-sized lots mean you've got real space to work with—and we've noticed a lot of families here want to maximize it. A sport court isn't just a basketball half-court or tennis setup; it's the centerpiece that actually gets used year-round, no matter what Georgia's humidity throws at you. We've installed plenty of them across Crabapple and Birmingham Crossroads, and the pattern's always the same: once neighbors see what you've built, they're calling us too. The clay soil that makes Milton's landscape so distinctive actually works in your favor during installation—we know how to prep it right so your court sits level and drains properly. Whether you're thinking half-court, full court, or something hybrid that works for multiple sports, we handle the whole process from site assessment through final line marking. Most of our Milton clients finish projects in under two weeks, and they're out there playing by month's end.
Milton's clay-heavy soil means base preparation is non-negotiable, and honestly, it's where most DIY attempts fall apart. The good news is we've done this hundreds of times in Fulton County—we know exactly how to excavate, compact, and grade so water doesn't pool during those heavy summer thunderstorms. Your lot size is probably generous compared to closer-in Atlanta neighborhoods, which gives us flexibility to position the court where sun exposure works best for your family's schedule. If you're in one of the neighborhoods near The Manor Golf Club or Birmingham Falls, you might have tree cover that actually helps with afternoon heat—we factor that in. The estate-lot culture in Milton means HOA guidelines vary significantly from street to street, so we always pull your specific restrictions before we start. We've also noticed Milton homeowners tend to think long-term about their outdoor investments, which is exactly the mindset that makes sport courts pay off. Your clay base, properly prepared with our compaction methods, becomes a rock-solid foundation that lasts.
Clay compacts well—that's actually ideal for a stable court base—but it doesn't drain on its own. We install a gravel sublayer and slope the court 1-2% so water moves off toward your perimeter. In Milton's climate, this handles our summer rainfall without pooling. We've done this across Crabapple and Birmingham Crossroads with zero issues.
From site prep through surface installation, most Milton projects finish in 10-14 days. Weather occasionally adds a day or two—we won't lay surface during rain. Once we start, you're typically using it within two weeks. We schedule around your schedule and local conditions.
Half-courts run about 47x50 feet; full courts are 94x50. Most Milton estate lots easily fit a half-court, many handle full. We assess your actual space, tree placement, and sun exposure before recommending. Your neighbors' courts help us benchmark what works for your neighborhood.
Milton's neighborhoods have different rules—Crabapple and Birmingham Crossroads don't always align. We pull your specific HOA guidelines upfront and can usually work within them. Some require setbacks or surface colors. We handle these conversations so there's no surprise rejections.
