Infill Types — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Union City's been growing fast, especially around the Shannon and Flat Shoals areas, and we're seeing more families want quality outdoor spaces for their kids. A sport court with the right infill makes all the difference—it's the difference between a surface that holds up through Georgia summers and one that breaks down in a year or two. We've installed plenty of courts in Fulton County, and we understand what works here. The clay-heavy soil we deal with in South Fulton means drainage matters more than people think, and infill choice directly impacts how your court performs season after season. Whether you're in a newer development near the Georgia International Convention Center or an established neighborhood, we're 35 minutes away and ready to help you pick the infill system that fits your family's needs and your yard's unique conditions.
Union City's South Fulton clay soil is dense and holds water longer than sandy areas, so proper drainage under your sport court infill is non-negotiable. During our wet springs and summer thunderstorms, you want an infill system that won't trap moisture or create soft spots that shift under play. Most residential yards here run small to medium—maybe 25 by 40 feet on average—so we design courts that maximize usable space without overwhelming the lot. The Shannon and Flat Shoals neighborhoods see decent sun exposure year-round, which means UV stability in your infill matters; some materials degrade faster in full-sun backyards. HOA rules vary by development, so we always check deed restrictions before quoting work. Our crews have dealt with plenty of challenging clay compositions in this area, and we know which infill blends resist compaction and maintain consistent ball response even after heavy use. The developing nature of South Fulton means newer construction sometimes has uneven grading—we account for that during site prep.
Engineered rubber infill with sand layers performs well in our South Fulton clay because it won't compact or trap moisture like pure sand can. The clay base needs a solid drainage layer, and we typically use a geocomposite or perforated underslab to manage water during heavy rain. That combination keeps your court playable year-round without puddles or soft zones that shift under your kid's feet.
Most sport courts in Union City need infill maintenance every 3 to 5 years, depending on play intensity and weather exposure. Our clay-based soil and regular thunderstorms mean occasional settling, so we recommend an annual inspection. We'll spot thin areas or displacement and top up only what you need—no unnecessary upselling.
Most Union City neighborhoods permit sport courts, but deed restrictions do vary by development. We've worked with Shannon and Flat Shoals HOAs before and know which ones require approval letters or color/material specs. We'll help you navigate that conversation and make sure your court meets local guidelines before we break ground.
Darker infills can warm up, but modern engineered rubber blends designed for court use stay cooler than old-style crumb rubber. If your yard gets full sun—common in developing areas here—we recommend lighter-colored or hybrid infills that reduce temperature buildup. We can show you samples and explain the trade-offs so your kids stay comfortable.
