Award Winning — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in Tyrone can become the neighborhood's go-to spot for basketball, tennis, or just weekend pickup games. Sport courts aren't just about function—they're about transforming that clay-heavy Fayette County yard into a professional-grade play surface that actually handles our Georgia weather. We've installed award-winning sport courts throughout the Tyrone area, from the Shamrock neighborhoods to properties overlooking Tyrone Town Park. What makes these installations stand out isn't just the materials; it's understanding how Tyrone's soil, sun exposure, and typical lot sizes demand a specific approach. Most residential properties here sit on challenging clay base, and that's exactly why a properly engineered court—with the right drainage and foundation prep—outperforms generic installations. Whether you're picturing a half-court for your kids or a full-size competitive surface, we handle the entire process: base assessment, grading, subsurface installation, and that final playing surface that'll stay true through humid summers and Georgia's occasional freeze-thaw cycles. Your court won't just look great on day one. It'll perform for years.
Tyrone's clay soil is gorgeous for magnolias but tough for outdoor courts. That dense Fayette County clay compacts hard and doesn't drain naturally, so every sport court we build here starts with a solid subsurface strategy—usually a crushed stone base with engineered drainage that slopes away from your home. We've learned the hard way that skipping this step leads to standing water and premature surface breakdown. Sun exposure varies across Tyrone neighborhoods. Properties near Shamrock Park tend to get afternoon shade, which actually works in your favor—it keeps the playing surface cooler and extends equipment life. Homes deeper into the Tyrone area often have full southern exposure, so we select court surfaces rated for UV durability and recommend lighter colorways that won't radiate heat during summer matches. Lot size typically ranges from half-acre to full-acre residential plots here, which gives us flexibility. Most of our Tyrone installations fit comfortably within existing landscapes—we'll work around your trees, existing hardscape, and setback requirements. HOA guidelines in some Tyrone subdivisions do regulate court heights or setbacks, so we always verify those early. The good news: a well-designed court actually adds property value in this market.
Clay compacts solid and holds water, so we never build directly on it. We excavate down to stable subgrade, add 4-6 inches of crushed limestone base, compact in layers, then install a permeable subsurface that channels water away. This prevents the soft spots and puddles we see on poorly prepared Tyrone courts. It's extra work upfront, but it's the difference between a 5-year court and a 15-year court.
Most do, but we always check first. Some Tyrone subdivisions have height restrictions or setback requirements for hardscape. We've designed courts that work within these limits—sometimes using post-frame construction or stepping back from property lines. Call us early so we can review your covenants and propose compliant options before any planning.
We typically recommend acrylic or premium synthetic surfaces rated for UV and thermal cycling. Both handle Georgia's summer heat and spring moisture swings well. Acrylic is cost-effective; premium synthetics offer tournament-grade response if you're serious about competitive play. We can demo samples so you see how each performs in afternoon sun at Tyrone Town Park or near your home.
Site prep (excavation, base work) usually takes 1-2 weeks depending on soil conditions and weather. Surface installation adds another 3-5 days. So expect 3-4 weeks total from start to playing on your court. We schedule around Tyrone's spring thaw and summer heat peaks when possible to optimize curing and base compaction.
