Curb Appeal — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your West Cobb backyard changes everything about how your family spends time at home. Whether you're in Lost Mountain, Mars Hill, or near the Harrison High School corridor, that clay-heavy Cobb County soil underneath your grass isn't going anywhere—but artificial turf on a proper sport court base absolutely will hold up to Georgia weather and your kids' constant use. We've installed dozens of these in the newer construction neighborhoods around here, and the difference between a worn-out natural grass court and a pristine artificial surface is night and day. Your neighbors will notice. More importantly, your family will actually use it year-round instead of watching it turn into a muddy mess every spring. A well-built sport court handles basketball, tennis, pickle ball, or just open play—and it looks sharp doing it. The investment pays for itself in curb appeal alone, plus you get the actual use out of it every single day.
West Cobb's clay-dominant soil is beautiful for construction but tough on grass courts. That dense clay base means drainage issues are real, and standing water after Georgia's summer storms will kill a natural court fast. Artificial turf with proper subsurface drainage solves that problem completely. Most lots in Lost Mountain and the Mars Hill area are roomy enough for a full court without weird angle cuts, though we do see plenty of slightly sloped yards that need grading work—nothing unusual for the area. Sun exposure varies depending on your tree coverage, but our crew knows this region well and plans for afternoon shade patterns you'd get near Harrison High School versus open lots in newer subdivisions. HOA rules in West Cobb neighborhoods typically allow artificial turf, especially when it's clearly a sport installation rather than a lawn replacement. We always verify with your HOA first, but we haven't had issues here. The installation timeline is usually faster on these newer construction properties because the underlying soil is more stable than older developments.
Not if you install properly. That clay is compacted and stable—actually better for a base than loose soil. We bring in engineered crushed stone, ensure solid drainage, and your court will stay level through Georgia's wet seasons. The clay underneath keeps everything from shifting, which is a huge advantage in West Cobb.
Absolutely. Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight like grass does. If you've got oak or pine coverage, that's actually a bonus—less UV damage to the turf over time. We design the base and drainage the same way; shade just means your court stays usable longer during hot summer days.
Most residential courts take 3 to 5 days depending on size and site prep. Newer construction lots around Harrison High School and Mars Hill typically don't need extensive grading, so we're usually on the faster end. We'll give you a timeline during the site visit.
You'll spend more upfront on artificial, but you're buying 10-15 years of zero maintenance. A natural court in Cobb County needs frequent reseeding, drainage fixes, and constant upkeep. The artificial court pays for itself over time—plus it looks better day one.
