Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts are becoming a smart choice for Norcross homeowners who want a dedicated space for basketball, tennis, or multi-sport play without the maintenance headaches of natural grass. The neighborhoods around Historic Norcross and Peachtree Corners have seen growing interest in backyard recreation spaces, especially families looking to keep kids active during Georgia's humid summers. Here's the thing: Gwinnett clay doesn't play nice with traditional courts. The soil shifts, water pools, and you end up with a cracked, uneven surface within a couple of years. Artificial turf court systems solve that problem by sitting on top of a proper base that actually drains through our clay instead of fighting it. We've been installing these courts throughout the Norcross area—from compact 30x40 setups in tighter yards to full-size basketball courts for properties with more room. The investment pays off fast. Your court plays the same in July heat as it does in March, you're not resealing cracks, and you get reliable performance whether you're hosting weekend games or just shooting hoops on a Tuesday evening. Most Norcross homeowners are surprised how affordable these systems have become, and the durability means you're not replacing it every five years.
Norcross sits on heavy Gwinnett clay, which means proper base preparation is non-negotiable for sport courts. We always start by addressing drainage—clay naturally holds water, so we build in a gravel and crushed stone sublayer that directs moisture away from the playing surface. Your yard's slope matters too; homes in the Historic Norcross area often have tighter lot sizes, so we work with existing grades rather than extensive grading work that drives up costs. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in a tree-heavy neighborhood near Thrasher Park or in the more open Peachtree Corners commercial-residential zones. Full southern exposure can heat up synthetic surfaces in peak summer, so we recommend light-colored infill options and consider shade structures for afternoon play. Many HOAs in the area have landscape guidelines, so we always pull your covenants early—most approve sport courts as long as they're setback appropriately and use quality materials that don't look cheap. Typical Norcross residential lots work best with courts in the 30x50 to 40x60 range, though we've done smaller multi-sport courts that double as practice areas.
Clay is actually why proper base work matters so much here. We don't fight the clay—we build around it with a drainage system that channels water away and creates a stable foundation. Without this step, you'd see shifting and surface cracking within a year. Our Norcross installations include this base prep as standard, so your court stays level and playable even during heavy rain.
Peak surface temps can reach 130–140°F in direct sun, which is hot but manageable with the right infill. We use lighter-colored materials and recommend scheduling intense play during morning or evening hours in July and August. Some Norcross clients add a simple shade sail or lean-to structure, which also protects the surface from UV breakdown over time.
Most do, with conditions. Historic Norcross and Peachtree Corners neighborhoods typically require setbacks from property lines and expect quality installation that doesn't look temporary. We review your covenants before you commit and handle any HOA submittals. In our experience, courts are approved far more often than denied when they're designed with the neighborhood in mind.
From site survey to finished court, plan on 2–3 weeks depending on weather and base prep complexity. Gwinnett clay can mean we need extra time for drainage work and proper compaction, especially if we're dealing with heavy rain during installation. We schedule projects to avoid the wettest months when possible, but we can work year-round with the right conditions.
