Side Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your side yard in Tyrone has potential that's probably sitting unused right now. Maybe it's just dead patches of Fayette County clay, or grass that refuses to grow under your trees. A lot of homeowners in the Shamrock and Tyrone neighborhoods have those same tough spots—and they've solved them with artificial turf sport courts. Unlike a traditional lawn, synthetic turf actually thrives in the conditions that kill natural grass here. You get a hard court surface that's perfect for basketball, tennis, or just having a flat, clean play area year-round. No mud after rain. No scalping from the mower. No replanting every spring. We've been installing these courts throughout Fayette County, and we understand the local soil challenges and how suburban lots in Tyrone typically lay out. Your side yard might be tighter than you think, or it might be hiding serious drainage issues from our clay base—both things we solve routinely. The neighborhoods around Tyrone Town Park and Shamrock Park have given us a real education in what works here, and we bring that experience directly to your installation. A sport court isn't just a turf upgrade; it's reclaiming space that was either a maintenance headache or completely wasted. We'll handle the whole process, from assessing your drainage to picking the right court surface for how you'll actually use it.
Tyrone's clay-heavy soil is honestly the reason synthetic courts make so much sense here. That dense, reddish Fayette County clay doesn't drain well, which means puddles sit for days after rain and grass roots struggle to establish. Your side yard probably experiences either too-wet or rock-hard conditions depending on the season. Sun exposure matters tremendously in the Shamrock area and throughout Tyrone. Side yards often catch afternoon sun, which is actually ideal for a sport court—it dries moisture fast and gives you playable surface even in cooler months. If your yard sits heavily shaded, we adjust the turf infill and pile height accordingly. Most side yards in this neighborhood run 15–25 feet deep, which limits court size but rarely prevents installation. We work within tight spaces constantly. HOA rules in some Tyrone developments restrict black or dark-colored courts, so we confirm those details upfront. Drainage is non-negotiable here. We install a proper base layer that prevents water from pooling underneath—something especially critical given Fayette County's clay. Your court sits slightly elevated and pitched for runoff, keeping it playable after rain when a natural lawn would be unusable.
Absolutely. We install a compacted base layer with a slight slope that prevents water from sitting underneath—the clay actually helps here by preventing pooling. Your court stays dry and playable within hours of rain, unlike natural grass in Fayette County soil, which can stay waterlogged for days. We've done dozens of installations on similar clay lots without drainage problems.
Most side yards can accommodate something functional. A half-court (30×25 feet) is ideal but not mandatory. We design custom layouts for tighter spaces—20×20 is perfectly playable for shooting or smaller games. We'll measure your lot, check for utility lines, and confirm any HOA restrictions specific to your Tyrone neighborhood.
Professional-grade turf has a reinforced backing, better infill retention, and superior drainage systems designed for actual sports play. We install tournament-quality materials, not residential upholstery. It holds up under hard use without matting down, resists UV damage in Georgia heat, and lasts 10–12 years with minimal maintenance.
Most side-yard courts take 3–5 days from site prep to finished surface. That includes removing existing vegetation, base installation, and synthetic turf layout. We're based 40 minutes away, so we can schedule back-to-back days without logistical headaches. Weather and site access might shift the timeline slightly.
