Certified Installer — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Stone Mountain homeowners know the feeling: you've got the perfect backyard space in mind, whether it's in the Village or up in Smoke Rise, and you're tired of fighting the DeKalb clay every spring. A sport court changes that conversation entirely. Instead of wrestling with muddy patches or patchy grass that won't cooperate in our Georgia humidity, you get a genuine, tournament-grade playing surface that actually improves your property and your family's quality of life. We've been installing certified sport courts throughout Stone Mountain for years now, and the transformation is always the same—families suddenly have a reason to stay outside, kids develop real athletic skills, and parents stop stressing about yard maintenance. What makes Stone Mountain unique is that granite-heavy soil situation combined with our mixed drainage patterns. Most installers don't account for that. We do. Our crew understands the specific prep work this soil demands, and we've got the expertise to ensure your court drains properly, handles our humid summers, and stays playable year-round. Whether you're thinking about a basketball court, a multi-sport setup, or something for serious recreational play, we can walk you through exactly what works best for your property and your goals.
Stone Mountain's soil composition—that heavy DeKalb clay mixed with granite outcrops—actually requires more careful prep than flat suburban Georgia sites. We're not just talking about leveling; we're talking about proper base layer management so water doesn't pool during our wetter months. The good news is that sport courts are engineered specifically for challenging drainage situations, which is why they outperform traditional grass courts in our area. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're closer to Stone Mountain Park or tucked into the tree-heavy sections of Smoke Rise. We assess your specific lot during the consultation because that matters for surface temperature and material longevity. Most residential lots in the 30083 and 30087 zips have room for a 30x50 court or smaller depending on your vision. HOA considerations do come up in Stone Mountain Village, so we always verify any covenants before design work begins—it's a quick conversation that saves headaches later. Installation typically takes 5–7 days depending on site conditions, and our crew handles all the heavy lifting around that granite-influenced terrain.
Honestly, yes—but that's actually where certified installers earn their stripes. DeKalb clay compacts differently than sandy soil, and those granite patches mean we're sometimes working around exposed rock. We account for this in site prep, using proper compaction techniques and base layers designed for clay-heavy conditions. It's completely manageable, but it does require someone who knows the area. Our crews have done this work around Stone Mountain Park and throughout the neighborhoods for years.
Absolutely. Sport courts come with engineered drainage systems that actually work better in high-clay areas like ours. We slope the base correctly and use sub-surface drainage if your lot needs it—which we determine during the site visit. Your court will shed water fast, even during our heavier downpours. It's one of the biggest advantages over traditional grass courts in Stone Mountain's climate.
Some neighborhoods, especially closer to Stone Mountain Village, do have landscape guidelines. We check your specific covenants before we start any design work—it's part of our process. In most cases, sport courts are approved because they're considered active recreation amenities, but we confirm everything upfront so there are no surprises.
Typically 5–7 days, depending on site conditions and whether we're working around granite outcrops or heavy clay patches. Weather plays a role too—if we hit one of our summer thunderstorms mid-project, we plan accordingly. We give you a realistic timeline during the consultation based on your specific lot.
