Drainage Solutions — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Peachtree Corners homeowners know the drill: Georgia clay doesn't drain, Georgia heat doesn't quit, and maintaining a natural grass court in the Tech Corridor means sacrificing weekends to mowing and mud management. A sport court with proper drainage changes that equation entirely. Whether you're in The Forum, near Technology Park, or anywhere across 30092, 30096, or 30097, a professionally installed artificial turf court handles our clay-heavy soil and unpredictable rainfall without turning into a swamp. The difference between a court that floods after a spring storm and one that's tournament-ready in an hour comes down to subsurface drainage design—the part most DIY installs botch. We've built dozens of these across Gwinnett County, and we've learned exactly how to work with our local soil conditions instead of against them. Your family gets a playable surface 365 days a year, your landscaping stays uniform with the rest of The Forum aesthetic, and you skip the headaches that come with clay-based natural grass. That's what a properly engineered sport court delivers.
Gwinnett clay is beautiful until you need water to move through it—then it becomes your nemesis. Our area's soil composition means surface water pools and subsurface drainage is non-negotiable for any sport court worth building. Most Peachtree Corners yards sit on slopes ranging from gentle to moderate, which helps gravity do some of the work, but you can't rely on that alone during our humid summers or after the spring rains we see rolling through the Tech Corridor. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on whether your lot backs to Jones Bridge Park or sits nestled in The Forum's tree-heavy residential blocks. Courts on the north side of homes stay cooler and drain slightly slower; south-facing installations can handle more drainage volume because the heat naturally evaporates excess moisture faster. HOA guidelines in established neighborhoods often dictate color and perimeter fencing, so we factor those restrictions into the design phase. Lot sizes in Peachtree Corners typically range from quarter-acre to half-acre residential plots, which means most sport courts measure 30×60 or 40×75 feet—perfect for basketball, pickleball, or multi-sport use. Our installation timeline accounts for the clay base prep and compaction work that's heavier here than in sandy areas.
Yes, but only if the base is engineered correctly. We install a perforated drainage layer beneath the turf that channels water into collection trenches or a French drain system—Gwinnett clay won't absorb water on its own, so we engineer the court to shed it laterally instead. After heavy rain, a properly built court drains in 1–2 hours, whereas natural grass in our area can stay saturated for days.
Most Peachtree Corners HOAs allow sport courts but specify color, perimeter fencing, and setback distances. We handle all design coordination with your HOA before breaking ground, so there are no surprises. Turf color options match or exceed natural grass appearance, and fencing choices are flexible.
Full sun (6+ hours) is ideal for durability and drainage performance, especially on south-facing lots. Courts shaded by oaks near Jones Bridge Park or in denser Forum neighborhoods still function well—they just take slightly longer to dry. We assess your lot's shade patterns during the site visit and adjust the drainage specification accordingly.
Site prep and clay base work take 5–7 days depending on drainage requirements and existing grading. Turf installation and curing add another 3–5 days. Gwinnett clay requires more thorough base preparation than sandy soils, so we don't rush that phase—proper compaction prevents future settling and extends court life by years.
