New Construction Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Building a new home on Tybee Island? A sport court is one of those features that transforms how your family actually uses the yard—especially on an island where outdoor living is half the appeal. Whether you're in the North End near the lighthouse or down toward the South End, a properly installed artificial turf sport court handles what natural grass simply can't: salt spray, intense sun exposure, and the constant moisture that comes with barrier island life. We've installed courts across Chatham County, and we understand the specific challenges Tybee homeowners face. Your new construction is an investment in island life, and a sport court adds real value while giving your kids a year-round place to shoot hoops, play tennis, or just run around without tracking sand and salt into the house. The timing is perfect during new construction—we can grade, prepare, and install while your home is going up, so everything's ready when you move in.
Tybee Island's barrier island location means your sport court faces conditions most of Georgia doesn't. The sandy soil drains well, which is great—but it also means we're working with a foundation that requires proper base preparation to prevent settling or shifting. Salt spray and UV exposure are real concerns here; that's why we specify marine-grade artificial turf and infill systems rated for coastal environments. Mid-Island and North End properties tend to have smaller lot sizes, so court dimensions need to be right-sized for your space—we'll work with what you've got rather than forcing an oversized installation. Most new construction homes here skip traditional sod entirely, which works perfectly for sport court installation. Sun patterns vary significantly depending on your exact location and neighboring structures, especially closer to Tybee Lighthouse where tree coverage is minimal. We'll assess your property's microclimate during the consultation to ensure proper drainage and UV resistance where you need it most.
Not if it's the right turf. We install systems specifically engineered for coastal salt exposure—the fibers and backing materials resist salt degradation, and the infill we use doesn't break down from regular salt spray. Your court needs annual rinsing with fresh water during heavy salt seasons, but the turf itself holds up beautifully. It's actually more durable than natural grass would be in these conditions.
Sandy soil drains too fast, actually—so we install a engineered base layer that controls water flow, prevents standing puddles, and keeps the court playable after rain. This matters more on Tybee than inland because of storm surge and high water tables. We'll slope your court slightly during installation to direct water toward perimeter drainage, ensuring your court dries fast and doesn't develop soft spots.
Absolutely. Whether you're in North End, Mid-Island, or South End, new construction is actually the ideal time. We coordinate with your builder's grading and drainage work, prepare the subbase while other trades are active, and have everything ready before closing. It's cleaner, faster, and cheaper than retrofitting a finished yard.
Lot sizes vary significantly across the island, but we design courts to fit your space—quarter courts, half courts, or full courts depending on your yard dimensions and budget. We'll visit your property during construction to measure and propose the right size. Most North End and Mid-Island homes work great with a 30x50 half court or smaller configured court.
