Small Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Norcross backyard changes everything—especially in those tight yards around Historic Norcross and the Peachtree Corners area where square footage is at a premium. We've installed dozens of these in Gwinnett County, and the transformation is always the same: families go from looking at dead grass to having a real play surface that handles basketball, pickleball, or just flat-out fun within days. Norcross homeowners often tell us the same thing: "I didn't think I had room for this." And then we show them what's possible in a modest backyard. A sport court doesn't eat up your whole yard the way a pool would, but it gives you that dedicated space for active play that actually gets used year-round. Thrasher Park is great, but your own court? That's convenience that matters when your kids want to shoot hoops after school or you want to set up a game with neighbors. The Gwinnett clay soil around here drains reasonably well once you get a proper base down, and our crew knows exactly how to prep for it. We've been servicing the Norcross area for years, and we're close enough to turn around quickly if you need service or adjustments. No waiting weeks for a contractor who's hours away.
Norcross sits on typical Gwinnett County clay, which is dense and holds moisture longer than sandy soils. That's actually good news for sport court installation—it means your base compacts nicely and stays stable through Georgia's wet winters. We don't skimp on drainage prep here because we've seen what happens when clay doesn't have proper water management. Your yard's sun exposure matters more than you'd think in the 30071 and 30092 zip codes. Historic Norcross properties often have mature trees (which is beautiful, but creates shade patterns), while newer developments in the Peachtree Corners area tend to be more open. If your court sits in partial shade, that's fine—artificial turf handles it beautifully and won't develop the thin patches natural grass does under those conditions. Small-yard installs in Norcross typically range from 1,200 to 2,400 square feet, which is the sweet spot for a half-court or full-court setup depending on your space. Many HOAs in our area don't restrict sport courts, but we always check your community rules before we start. The commercial-residential mix in Norcross means yard sizes vary wildly street to street, so we custom-fit every project to what you've actually got to work with.
Clay compacts well and provides stable footing, which is ideal for sport courts. We add a gravel base layer specifically for clay soil to ensure proper drainage beneath the turf. Norcross clay can hold water in spring, so getting the base right prevents puddles and extends your court's lifespan. It's a straightforward process we've refined over hundreds of Gwinnett installs.
Almost certainly. We've squeezed courts into surprisingly tight spaces around Historic Norcross. Even 1,200 square feet gives you a functional half-court perfect for shooting and casual play. We'll do a free site visit, measure everything, and show you exactly what fits. Most homeowners are surprised what's possible.
Way less than natural grass. You'll sweep debris occasionally and rinse it down during hot spells to keep the surface cool. Norcross humidity won't damage artificial turf the way it breaks down natural grass. We recommend a light refresh every few years depending on use, but these courts easily last 10-15 years in our climate.
We're based close enough that we typically start within 1-2 weeks of booking. Most small-yard courts in Norcross take 3-5 days to complete from prep to finish. We handle all the heavy work—you just get a finished court ready to use.
