Lifetime Warranty — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become the centerpiece of so many Waleska yards—especially around the Reinhardt University area where families want space to stay active without the maintenance headaches of natural grass. We've installed dozens of them across Cherokee County, and what we've learned is that the North Georgia mountain-clay transition soil here presents some real challenges for traditional athletic surfaces. That's exactly why artificial turf has exploded in popularity. You get a professional-grade playing surface that holds up to our weather patterns, requires zero fertilizer, and honestly just looks better year-round than anything trying to survive in our heavy clay. Whether you're thinking basketball, pickleball, or just a clean play surface for the kids, a sport court in Waleska makes genuine sense. And because we back ours with a lifetime warranty, you're not gambling on durability—you're investing in something that'll outlast the house itself.
Waleska's soil composition—that mountain-clay transition zone—actually works in your favor once you understand it. The clay base is dense and stable, which means your court foundation won't shift seasonally the way it does in sandier parts of Georgia. That said, drainage matters enormously. We always slope courts slightly and install a perforated base layer because spring runoff through here can be aggressive, and standing water turns any athletic surface into a liability. Sun exposure varies wildly depending on whether you're near Funk Heritage Center's tree canopy or out toward the newer residential sections. Some yards get brutal afternoon heat; others sit in dappled shade all day. We assess your specific lot before design because that changes how the turf performs and which infill material we recommend. Most Waleska properties run 20-40 feet for a sport court, which is realistic for both installation and budget. One thing we always mention: check your deed if you're in a neighborhood covenant area. Most HOAs here approve artificial athletic surfaces, but it's worth confirming upfront rather than discovering restrictions mid-project.
Our installation method accounts for the clay entirely. We excavate to proper depth, compact the base, then install a perforated drainage layer before the turf. This keeps water moving and prevents pooling—critical in our rainy springs. The clay actually becomes an asset because it's stable; it won't shift under your court like looser soils do elsewhere in Georgia.
Yes. Our warranty covers UV degradation, seam separation, and material defects across all North Georgia conditions—including the freeze-thaw cycles we see here and the humidity patterns around Reinhardt. Normal use, including sports and foot traffic, is fully covered for life. Installation defects are excluded, but that's standard.
Most courts in your area take 3-5 business days depending on size and site prep needs. We're 40 minutes from here, so we typically schedule Waleska projects as day trips. We'll confirm timeline during the site visit, especially if your clay base needs extra drainage work.
We typically use a silica-sand blend for Waleska courts because it performs well through our hot summers and cold winters without becoming hard in freeze-thaw cycles. Recycled rubber is another solid option if you prefer lower maintenance. We'll recommend based on your court's sun exposure and intended use.
