How To Install — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Union City backyard solves something most homeowners in the Shannon and Flat Shoals areas struggle with: finding quality outdoor space that actually holds up to Georgia weather and gets used year-round. We've installed dozens of these in South Fulton, and the transformation is real. One family in the Flat Shoals area went from an overgrown clay mess to hosting neighborhood basketball tournaments within a month. The thing about Fulton County clay is that it's dense—it holds water, cracks in summer heat, and becomes slippery when wet. A sport court strips away all those headaches. You get a consistent playing surface for basketball, pickleball, or multipurpose games; it drains properly even after our afternoon thunderstorms; and it requires almost zero maintenance compared to grass or concrete. Most homeowners underestimate how much their kids (and they themselves) will actually use the space once it's done right. The proximity to the Georgia International Convention Center area means properties in Union City tend to be spacious enough for these installations, and the developing landscape around 30291 is catching up to families' expectations for their outdoor living.
Union City's South Fulton clay base is actually your biggest consideration—and we handle it with a proper base layer system. That clay doesn't drain like sandy soil does, so we slot in a perforated base and crushed stone layer underneath the turf. This prevents standing water after heavy rain and extends the life of your court by years. Sun exposure varies depending on whether you're in the Shannon area or closer to Flat Shoals. Some properties sit with full southern exposure (brutal in July and August), while others have mature tree coverage that creates afternoon shade. We assess your lot during the consultation because UV-resistant turf performs differently under each condition. Most Union City yards range from 30x40 feet to 50x60 feet for a full sport court—plenty of space but tight enough that we've learned to minimize site disruption during install. We typically work in two to three days, which matters if you've got a busy household. HOA rules in developing neighborhoods around Union City are still evolving, so we always verify covenants before breaking ground. The good news: sport courts are generally viewed as property improvements, not eyesores.
Yes, but it's standard for us. We install a 4-inch stone base with perforated drainage fabric over the clay to manage runoff. Union City gets frequent afternoon storms, so proper drainage isn't optional—it's what keeps your court playable 48 hours after rain. We've seen yards without this setup develop soft spots within a season.
Two to three days for a standard court. We operate between 7 AM and 4 PM, use residential-grade equipment, and clean up daily. Most neighbors don't realize what's happening by day two. Depending on whether you're in the Shannon or Flat Shoals area, we've coordinated with HOAs beforehand to avoid permit delays.
Minimal. Hose it down monthly, remove leaves in fall, and that's essentially it. No sealing, no reseeding, no clay dust on your patio. Union City's humidity means occasional algae can form in shaded spots, but a light brush and water clears it. Most families in 30291 spend less time on court maintenance than they did on lawn care.
Absolutely. Most Union City properties have some slope. We grade and level during prep work—it's part of the estimate. Slopes up to 2% work without major cost; steeper grades require retaining or additional base work. We'll walk your lot and give you real numbers before you commit.
