Maintenance — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become a game-changer for Tyrone homeowners who want their kids to practice basketball, pickleball, or tennis without driving to Shamrock Park or Tyrone Town Park every single time. Here's the honest truth: maintaining a natural grass court in Fayette County's clay-heavy soil is a losing battle. You're either watering constantly during dry spells, fighting drainage issues after rain, or dealing with bare patches that take forever to fill in. Artificial turf sport courts eliminate that headache entirely. You get a playable surface year-round, no mud, no divots, and no weekly mowing schedule that eats into your weekend. We've installed dozens of these in the Tyrone area, and the reaction is always the same—families suddenly use their backyards way more because the court is always ready to go. Whether you're thinking about adding one to your property or already have one that needs attention, we're here to walk you through the whole process. We're based about 40 minutes away, so we know the neighborhood, the soil conditions, and exactly what holds up best in this part of Georgia.
Tyrone's soil profile—heavy Fayette County clay—actually makes artificial turf a smarter choice than most homeowners realize. Clay doesn't drain well, which means standing water after rain becomes a real problem for grass courts. Artificial turf with proper base preparation and sub-surface drainage prevents that entirely. Most Tyrone properties sit in quiet suburban lots with a mix of sun and shade, depending on mature tree coverage. We assess that during the site visit because it affects which infill blend works best and how the court will play during different times of day. Lot sizes in the Tyrone and Shamrock areas tend to be generous, which gives us room to build courts that meet regulation dimensions without cramming them in. Installation here usually involves removing existing sod, grading to account for Fayette County's natural slope, and laying down a compacted gravel base that channels water away from your foundation and landscaping. HOA rules in some neighborhoods require specific edging or sightline considerations, so we always check those restrictions upfront. The clay base means we spend extra time on drainage planning—it's worth the effort because poor drainage is the #1 cause of premature turf failure in Georgia.
Way less than you'd think. Brushing every couple weeks keeps the infill distributed evenly, and a rinse after heavy use keeps it clean. Fayette County clay dust can settle on the surface, so we recommend a light sweep monthly. Unlike grass courts, you're not fighting weeds, disease, or bare patches. Most Tyrone homeowners spend maybe 30 minutes a month on upkeep.
No, but it's one reason we size drainage correctly. Tyrone summers are hot and humid, which can trap moisture under poor-quality installations. We use turf grades rated for heat and UV, plus sub-surface drainage that moves water away fast. That prevents algae growth and keeps the court playable even during humid stretches.
Absolutely. Clay is actually a solid base when prepared right—we compact it, add a gravel layer, and top it with turf. The challenge isn't the clay; it's making sure water drains sideways and down, not pooling. We've done this on dozens of Tyrone properties. Site assessment determines the exact approach, but clay soil rarely stops a project here.
Most residential courts take 3–5 days from site prep to final brushing. Tyrone properties usually have good access, so we don't run into the heavy machinery constraints we see in tighter subdivisions. Weather and lot size matter, but we can give you a timeline after the site visit.
