Cleaning — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become a game-changer for families across Union City, especially in the Shannon and Flat Shoals neighborhoods where yard space is at a premium and the Georgia heat demands surfaces that won't crack or fade. Whether you're thinking about a backyard basketball court, tennis setup, or multi-sport surface, artificial turf designed for athletic performance is built differently than standard landscape turf. The Fulton County clay base we work with throughout this area actually gives us some advantages—it drains predictably, and we know exactly how to prep the foundation so your court stays level and playable year-round. What makes Union City unique is the mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments; we've installed courts in both, and the key difference is understanding your soil composition and ensuring proper base preparation. Your sport court isn't just about recreation—it's an investment that increases property appeal, especially near the Georgia International Convention Center corridor where property values keep climbing. Most homeowners in Union City find that a quality artificial turf court pays for itself through increased home value and the simple fact that you're using your yard year-round instead of letting it sit empty.
Union City sits on that distinctive South Fulton clay, which is dense and can hold water if not managed properly during installation. We always recommend a crushed stone base layer—typically 4 to 6 inches depending on drainage patterns—because the clay wants to stay wet longer than sandy soils. Your yard's sun exposure matters too; homes in the Shannon area tend to have good afternoon sun, which keeps artificial turf from staying damp and helps it cure properly after cleaning. The developing nature of this area means some properties are on larger lots while others are more compact, so we custom-size courts to fit your space without wasting material. One thing we've learned installing across Union City is that HOA restrictions vary neighborhood to neighborhood, so it's worth checking your deed before we schedule the site visit. The clay also affects how we handle drainage lines and slope—we typically build in a slight grade away from foundations to prevent any moisture issues. Humidity in Fulton County is real, especially in summer, but modern turf systems with proper infill and antimicrobial treatments handle it well. We also factor in the occasional heavy Georgia rain; good perimeter edging keeps your court from eroding into surrounding beds.
We start with a solid stone base and evaluate your yard's natural slope during the site visit. The clay in South Fulton doesn't drain like sandy soil, so we often use a perforated base layer that channels water away from the court and toward existing drainage patterns. On top of that, we choose infill materials that promote water movement. It's not complicated, but it's specific to clay—that's why local installation matters.
Absolutely. We've built courts in both areas on lots ranging from small urban yards to larger suburban spaces. The Shannon area especially has good lot depth for a full-size or three-quarter basketball court. We'll walk your space and show you exactly what fits—sometimes a smaller footprint is actually better for your property flow.
Regular light cleaning with a leaf blower or light rake keeps debris from settling in. For deeper cleaning, a soft-bristle brush works well, and we recommend a rinse with a garden hose every few weeks in summer. The humidity here actually makes frequent light cleaning easier than waiting until buildup happens. We'll give you a full maintenance guide specific to your court type.
We keep proper clearance—usually 12 to 18 inches from the foundation—to let air flow and prevent moisture issues. The clay in this area means we're extra careful about slope and drainage near foundations. Your site visit will include a foundation assessment so we can design drainage that protects your home.
