Lifespan — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Snellville backyard isn't just a weekend project—it's a real investment in how your family spends the next 15, 20, or even 25 years together. We've installed dozens of these courts across Gwinnett County, and what we see consistently is that homeowners in the Snellville Towne Center area and South Gwinnett neighborhoods want something that actually lasts. Not something that fades after three seasons or needs constant patching because the Georgia clay underneath shifted. Here's the honest truth: sport courts are built on the foundation you give them. Your yard's drainage, the way the sun hits it, what's already growing there—all of that matters. We work with established lots throughout Snellville, many of them sitting on dense Gwinnett County clay, and we know exactly how to prep for longevity. Whether you're thinking about basketball, tennis, or a multi-sport surface for your kids, the court we build today should be the one your grandkids use tomorrow. That's our standard.
Snellville's clay-heavy soil is actually both a challenge and something we've learned to work with beautifully. That dense Gwinnett County clay is stable once it's properly compacted, but it holds water differently than sandy soils. We always recommend a gravel base and proper drainage slope—especially if your lot is in one of the flatter sections near Briscoe Park or The Towne Green area. Shade patterns vary significantly depending on your neighborhood; some Snellville properties have mature tree canopy that keeps courts cooler but requires us to factor in dappled light conditions for surface durability. If you're in an HOA community (many are here), most allow sport courts, but we'll verify deed restrictions before breaking ground. Lot sizes in established Snellville neighborhoods typically range from quarter-acre to half-acre, which generally gives us enough room for a quality court without cutting into usable yard space. Summer heat and occasional heavy rain are both considerations—we select turf materials and backing systems that handle Gwinnett's climate. Installation takes about 3–5 days depending on prep work, and we do final grading and compaction to prevent settling, which is critical in our clay soils.
Clay is dense and stable when properly prepared, which is actually good for longevity. The issue isn't the clay itself—it's drainage. We build a compacted gravel base, slope the court slightly, and install perimeter drainage so water doesn't pool underneath. Done right, clay actually provides a solid, long-term foundation. Improper prep in clay soil is what causes settling and surface cracking after a few years.
Most Snellville HOAs permit sport courts, especially in South Gwinnett neighborhoods where they're increasingly common. We always pull your deed restrictions and contact your HOA before submitting a design. In rare cases, there are setback or color requirements. Better to confirm now than discover a problem mid-installation.
A regulation basketball court is 47×50 feet; a tennis court is 60×120 feet. Most Snellville lots can accommodate at least a half-court or multi-sport 35×60 surface without overwhelming the yard. We assess your lot during the consultation and recommend what fits your space and budget.
We back our installations with a 10-year structural warranty on the base and 8 years on surface material, assuming proper care. Georgia's sun and humidity are hard on turf, but quality materials and professional installation mean your court keeps playing true through decades of use.
