Base Prep — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Smyrna backyard transforms how your family plays. Whether you're in Vinings, near Market Village, or anywhere across the 30080 and 30082 zip codes, a dedicated court surface means basketball, pickleball, or tennis ready to go—no weather delays, no excuses. We've installed courts throughout Cobb County, and we understand what works in Smyrna's climate and soil. Most homeowners here are surprised how much more they use their yards once the court goes in. Kids actually want to practice. Adults actually show up for games. It's not just about the sport—it's about creating a reason to be outside together. Our team handles everything from grading your existing lot to finishing the court surface, so you're not juggling contractors or wondering if the base will hold up through Georgia's wet winters. We're 18 minutes away, which means we know your neighborhood, your drainage quirks, and exactly what a sport court needs to last in Smyrna.
Smyrna sits on Cobb County clay, which is both a blessing and something to plan for. That clay holds water longer than sandy soil, so proper base prep isn't optional—it's the foundation of a court that won't crack or shift after heavy rain. The neighborhoods around Market Village and Jonquil Park tend to have older lots with mixed grading, so we always assess drainage first. If your backyard slopes toward the house or a neighbor's property, we'll build that into the base design. Lot sizes in Smyrna vary wildly; some homes in Vinings have plenty of space, while Market Village-area properties are tighter. We right-size courts to fit your actual yard, not a standard blueprint. Sun exposure matters too—courts facing west will see more heat stress, so surface selection shifts slightly. Most Smyrna HOAs are fine with sport courts as long as fencing or landscaping screens them from street view. We can advise on that during the site visit. Georgia's humidity and summer thunderstorms mean your court surface needs proper drainage and UV protection, both built into our installation process.
Not harder—just different. That clay actually compacts well for a stable base, which is good. The trade-off is it holds moisture longer, so we engineer drainage into the prep work. We've done dozens of courts in Cobb County, and the clay consistency is predictable once you know how to work with it. Your court will be rock-solid once it's down.
Depends on the lot. Vinings homes might accommodate a full-size basketball court (94×50 feet), while Market Village-area properties often work better with a smaller multi-sport surface (60×40 feet). We'll walk your yard, check setbacks, and show you what fits without eating your entire backyard. Most homeowners are happy with a mid-size court they'll actually use.
Our base prep is designed for Smyrna's wet season. We slope it, add perimeter drainage if needed, and choose surfaces that shed water fast. We won't install until the base is proven stable. Once finished, rain's not a problem—courts drain and dry quickly. You'll be playing the day after a storm.
Base prep is usually 5–10 days depending on lot condition and weather. Cobb County clay can be worked faster than some soils once we grade and compact. Surface installation is another 3–5 days. We schedule around rain windows and won't rush the base—it's too important. Total timeline is typically 2–3 weeks from start to finish.
