Certified Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts in Peachtree Corners are becoming the go-to solution for families who want a dedicated space for basketball, pickleball, or multipurpose athletic training without the maintenance headaches of natural grass. The neighborhoods around The Forum and Technology Park tend to have solid yard space, but that Georgia clay underneath isn't always forgiving—especially when you're trying to maintain a level playing surface. We've installed dozens of certified sport courts across the 30092, 30096, and 30097 zip codes, and the difference between a DIY attempt and a professional installation shows immediately. A properly engineered sport court handles Gwinnett's humidity and seasonal temperature swings while keeping the ball bounce consistent year-round. Whether you've got kids who want to shoot hoops or you're looking to add resale value to your home, this is the kind of upgrade that actually gets used. Unlike that shaded corner where grass refuses to grow, an artificial sport surface performs the same whether the sun's beating down or the afternoon clouds roll in.
Peachtree Corners sits on dense Gwinnett clay, which is beautiful for drainage in the right context but terrible for leveling a sport court without proper site prep. We always dig out the high spots and build a compacted base layer—usually recycled asphalt or crushed stone—before laying the turf itself. Your yard's slope matters more than you'd think; the Forum area and Jones Bridge Park neighborhoods can vary quite a bit in elevation depending on your exact lot. Sun exposure is another factor. Some properties here get afternoon shade from mature oaks and pines, which is actually helpful during summer heat but means the court stays damp longer after rain. We recommend good edge drainage around the perimeter and, honestly, a slight crown in the middle so water doesn't pool. Most Peachtree Corners lots are large enough for a 30x50 or 40x60 court without eating up your entire backyard, though we've done smaller 20x40 setups too. HOA restrictions vary by neighborhood, so we always confirm your community's rules before ordering materials. One heads-up: Gwinnett clay compacts differently than Georgia red clay farther south, so subgrade preparation is non-negotiable here.
Yes, absolutely. Gwinnett clay doesn't drain naturally, so we dig down 6-8 inches, remove clay, and install a rock base with perforated underdrain lines along the edges. Without this step, water pools under the turf and creates soft spots. It's extra work upfront, but it's the only way to get a court that lasts 10+ years in this area.
That's the risk with shortcuts. Proper base compaction and good drainage prevent most movement, but we also recommend a 2–3% crown (slight peak in the middle) so water drains outward. We've found this setup holds up well through Peachtree Corners' humid summers and mild winters.
Site prep typically takes 2–4 days depending on clay conditions and lot slope. Turf laying and edge finishing adds another 1–2 days. Most projects around here are complete within a week, weather permitting.
Shade isn't a dealbreaker—artificial turf performs in full sun or partial shade. Water drainage actually improves under tree cover since evaporation is slower. Just confirm overhanging branches won't drop debris onto the court long-term, and keep an eye out for root systems during site prep.
