Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become a smart investment for Peachtree Corners families—especially in neighborhoods like The Forum where lot sizes and HOA standards create the perfect opportunity for dedicated play spaces. Whether your kids are into basketball, pickleball, or just need a reliable surface for year-round activity, artificial turf sport courts solve the real problem that Georgia clay creates: mud, stains, and constant maintenance headaches. The Gwinnett soil here is dense and tough, which means natural grass struggles in high-traffic areas and rainy seasons leave you with a swampy mess. We've installed dozens of sport courts across 30092, 30096, and 30097—from Technology Park to Jones Bridge Park neighborhoods—and the transformation is always the same: a surface that's playable the day after heavy rain, that doesn't require weekly upkeep, and that actually holds up to the Georgia sun without fading into a brown shadow of itself. Your court becomes the reason the neighborhood kids want to hang out at your house, not somewhere else.
Peachtree Corners sits on challenging Gwinnett clay—the kind that compacts hard in dry weather and turns to soup when it rains. This matters for sport courts because proper base preparation is non-negotiable here. We excavate down to remove the native clay, then install engineered stone and drainage systems that prevent water from pooling underneath. Without this step, you'll get soft spots and movement in the surface within a year. The area also experiences significant sun exposure, particularly in Technology Park neighborhoods where tree cover is minimal—we spec UV-stabilized infill systems designed for Georgia's intense afternoon heat. Humidity is another factor; proper drainage underneath keeps moisture from breeding mold or algae on the playing surface. HOA regulations in The Forum area often have specific rules about court dimensions, fencing, and lighting—we handle all of that coordination upfront. Most residential lots here are 0.25 to 0.5 acres, which limits court size to half-court or smaller dimensions; we design those proportions to maximize playability in the space you've got.
Gwinnett County requires permits for structures exceeding certain heights and for any work involving drainage or grading. We handle the permitting process for you—it's standard for residential sport courts. The Forum and Technology Park areas also have HOA review processes that we coordinate. Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks before we can break ground.
Gwinnett clay requires aggressive excavation and removal—that's 2–3 extra days compared to sandy soil regions. We dig out the native clay, replace it with compacted stone base, then add drainage fabric and engineered infill. Wet spring conditions can extend the timeline, so we often recommend scheduling for late summer or fall when the ground is firmer.
Yes, dark surfaces absorb heat. We use light-colored infill and specify cooling technologies that reduce surface temperature by 15–20 degrees compared to basic turf. It's still warm, but playable during peak hours. Early morning or evening play is always more comfortable in Peachtree Corners summers.
Monthly rinsing to remove dust and pollen—that's the main task. No fertilizer, no reseeding, no mowing. You'll brush the infill occasionally to keep it evenly distributed. Compare that to fighting Gwinnett clay stains and mud season every year, and the maintenance difference becomes obvious pretty fast.
