Large Yard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Union City's growing neighborhoods—especially around Shannon and Flat Shoals—are packed with families who want their yards to work as hard as they do. A sport court isn't just a basketball pad or tennis setup anymore. It's the centerpiece that gets your kids outside, keeps them active, and honestly, transforms how your whole family uses that backyard space. We've installed courts across South Fulton for homeowners tired of watching grass die under Georgia's summer heat, or frustrated by clay-heavy soil that turns into a mud pit after rain. The thing about Union City yards is they're often generous—plenty of square footage to work with—but that clay base needs the right foundation prep. That's where experience matters. We handle the soil challenges, the drainage considerations, and the actual build so your court plays true from day one. Whether you've got a corner lot near the Georgia International Convention Center area or a sprawling backyard in one of the developing neighborhoods, the process starts the same: understanding what your family actually needs and what your property can handle.
Union City sits on South Fulton's characteristic clay soil, which is dense and holds water—great for building a stable base, but it demands proper grading and drainage planning before we pour or lay down court materials. Summer sun here is intense, and that clay reflects heat, so shade patterns matter more than you'd think for comfort during afternoon play. Most yards in the Shannon and Flat Shoals areas range from a quarter-acre to half-acre or larger, giving us real room to work with for a full sport court without eating up your entire property. We typically need to address clay compaction and slope toward drainage points; standing water after heavy Georgia downpours isn't just annoying—it damages the court base and shortens the life of your surface. HOA restrictions vary neighborhood to neighborhood, so we always confirm setbacks, color options, and fencing requirements before anything goes in the ground. Wind corridors between houses are also worth noting in Union City's layout; we factor that into surface selection and court orientation. The good news: clay-based soil, once properly prepped, gives you an incredibly solid foundation that holds everything in place without settling or shifting the way sandier lots sometimes do.
Yes. Fulton County requires permits for structures and hardscaping over a certain size. We handle the permit process with the county, including any HOA approvals specific to your neighborhood. Depending on your exact location—Shannon area versus Flat Shoals—requirements can vary slightly, so we pull everything early to avoid delays.
Clay is actually beneficial for court stability once we prepare it correctly. We grade for slope, compact the base, and install French drains if needed to prevent pooling. Union City's clay won't shift under the court like looser soil, but we have to get drainage right or you'll see standing water after summer storms.
From site assessment to completion, expect 3–4 weeks for a typical large yard. Permits add 1–2 weeks depending on Fulton County's current backlog. Weather—especially heavy rain in our clay-heavy area—can extend things slightly, but we build buffers into scheduling.
Absolutely. Proximity to the Convention Center doesn't impose special restrictions, but we do confirm setbacks and any easements on your property deed. Noise codes may apply, though a court itself isn't typically an issue—we'd discuss lighting and boundary lines during the initial consultation.
