Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in Peachtree Corners has potential that most homeowners never tap into. That narrow strip between houses or the awkward corner lot behind your home? It's prime real estate for a sport court—and we've installed enough of them in The Forum area and around Technology Park to know exactly what works here. The Gwinnett clay base and the shaded patterns you get from mature neighborhood trees create specific challenges, but that's exactly why a professional install matters. A sport court transforms dead space into something your family actually uses. Basketball, pickleball, tennis—whatever fits your lifestyle. We've seen neighbors go from zero to constant activity in their side yards, and the property value bump is real. What makes Peachtree Corners different is the density and the landscape restrictions some communities have. We navigate that. We know which HOAs care about sight lines from the street, which ones require certain color schemes, and how to make a court blend into a suburban corner lot instead of screaming for attention. You're not looking for a generic concrete pad. You're looking for something that handles the humidity, drains properly through our clay, and doesn't become a sun-baked nightmare by July.
Peachtree Corners sits on Gwinnett County clay—which is honestly tougher than sand-based soil in neighboring areas. That clay compacts differently, holds water longer after our summer thunderstorms, and requires a foundation that accounts for seasonal shifting. If you've got a side yard that slopes toward your house or toward the street, drainage becomes non-negotiable. We always recommend a slight crown in the court surface and proper base prep to prevent pooling. The tree coverage in neighborhoods like The Forum is substantial. Morning shade is great for heat management, but it can mean slower drying times and occasional moss growth in high-shade spots. Peachtree Corners' homeowner associations vary in their landscape rules. Some care deeply about what's visible from the street; others focus on rear-yard installations only. We check your CC&Rs before any quote and can guide color choices and positioning to keep you compliant. Typical side yards here run 20–35 feet in length, which works beautifully for a 20x32 pickleball court or a 20x24 basketball half-court. Most properties have enough clearance for safe play without overshooting into a neighbor's space. Humidity and our afternoon heat mean choosing turf with proper infill and UV stability—this isn't a place where cheap materials hold up.
It depends on your neighborhood. Properties in The Forum area or gated sections almost always require approval; other parts of Peachtree Corners may have looser restrictions. We pull your CC&Rs and submit plans if needed. Many HOAs approve side-yard courts because they're hidden from street view. We've worked with Peachtree Corners community boards and know what documentation they expect.
Not if we prep it right. Gwinnett clay compacts and holds water, so we install a proper base layer, add a crown for slope, and sometimes recommend a perimeter drain for side yards that slope toward your house. We've done this hundreds of times in Gwinnett County. It's standard procedure for us, not an upcharge surprise.
Full shade (under 3 hours of direct sun) gets risky—moss grows, drainage slows, and turf stays damp longer in our humidity. The Forum's mature trees create dappled shade that usually works fine. If your side yard is shaded most of the day, we discuss alternatives: a permeable court surface or clearing some lower branches. We're honest about feasibility.
Once we prep the base and manage Gwinnett clay drainage, a 20x32 court takes 5–7 days. Weather delays us (our clay and humidity mean we can't pour/lay materials in heavy rain). We schedule around Peachtree Corners weather patterns and work with you on timing. Installation is cleaner than most people expect—minimal mess, no major excavation for standard side yards.
