Money Back Guarantee — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Pine Lake residents who want a sport court that actually holds up deserve better than guessing. That's why we back every installation with a money-back guarantee—because we know what works around here, and we're willing to stake our reputation on it. Your backyard court needs to handle Georgia's humidity, the clay-heavy soil that surrounds our little lake community, and the kind of use that comes with having a real place for basketball, pickleball, or tennis steps from your deck. We've installed dozens of courts in Pine Lake, and we've learned exactly what our climate throws at synthetic surfaces. The red clay soil in DeKalb doesn't drain like sand. The summer heat is relentless. And if your court isn't engineered right from the start—from base preparation to surface selection—you'll be staring at puddles, soft spots, or material breakdown within a couple seasons. That's not happening on our watch. Our team lives close enough to Pine Lake that we understand the neighborhood's needs and the specific challenges your property faces, whether you're near the lake itself or up on higher ground. We don't just install courts and disappear. We stand behind our work because we built it to last, and we're confident enough to prove it with our guarantee.
Pine Lake's soil composition is a big part of what makes installation here different from flatter parts of Georgia. That DeKalb clay drains poorly when left alone, which means your sport court's base layer becomes critical. We build a engineered subbase that accounts for clay's tendency to hold water and shift slightly through freeze-thaw cycles—something that matters more here than in sandy regions. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your lot's orientation and tree coverage around the lake community. Some homes sit in afternoon shade that keeps courts cooler but can trap moisture; others get full southern exposure that heats the surface dramatically. We assess your specific microclimate before recommending surface materials. HOA guidelines in Pine Lake tend to be reasonable about athletic court colors and dimensions, but we confirm any restrictions early. Most residential lots in the neighborhood range from quarter-acre to half-acre, which gives us good flexibility for court sizing—we can usually fit a full basketball court or a 30×60 multipurpose setup without eating your entire yard. Installation timing matters here too. We avoid heavy rain seasons when clay becomes unstable, and we finish work before summer heat peaks so the surface can cure properly.
Yes—but only if it's built right. We install a perforated base system that channels water away from the clay underneath, then compact it in layers so the court stays firm year-round. Without this approach, water pools in the clay and softens the playing surface. We've seen courts fail here because installers skipped this step. Ours won't.
Significantly. Summer temperatures here push synthetic materials to their limits, which is why we specify cooler-technology surfaces for full-sun courts. Some materials can reach 140+ degrees on a 95-degree day. We recommend lighter colors for sun-exposed courts and discuss shade tree growth patterns so your court doesn't become a heat trap five years from now.
Absolutely, but proximity to Pine Lake means higher water tables and more soil movement risk. We use deeper subbase engineering on lakeside properties, often with French drain integration. It costs more upfront but prevents the shifting and settling that wreck courts built too close to water without proper prep.
If the court surface fails due to material defect or our installation error within the first five years, we replace it at no cost. We don't cover wear from normal use or damage from improper maintenance, but we do cover what we control: materials and workmanship. That guarantee is real because we've engineered these courts to survive Pine Lake's soil and climate.
