Expert Installation — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your West Cobb backyard isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a game-changer for families in Lost Mountain and the Mars Hill area who want their kids shooting hoops or playing volleyball without leaving home. We've installed dozens of these courts across Cobb County, and the newer construction homes around Harrison High School often have the space and layout that make sport courts really shine. The thing is, a lot of homeowners think they need a massive lot, but that's not true. Even modest yards can accommodate a regulation or semi-regulation court. What matters more is getting the base right from day one. That clay soil in this part of Cobb? It needs proper grading and drainage prep, or you'll be dealing with standing water and soft spots come spring. We handle that groundwork so your court stays playable year-round, whether it's a basketball court, multi-sport setup, or something custom. We're local—just 12 minutes away—so we know exactly how West Cobb properties drain, how the sun moves across your yard in different seasons, and what your neighbors are doing with their outdoor spaces. Let's talk about what a sport court could actually look like for your family.
West Cobb's clay-heavy soil is both a blessing and a challenge. It compacts well, which is good for a stable base, but it doesn't drain like sandy loam, so we always build in proper slope and sometimes add a gravel sublayer to keep moisture from pooling under your court. The neighborhoods around Lost Mountain and Mars Hill see pretty consistent sun exposure—most lots get 6 to 8 hours of direct afternoon light—which is ideal for synthetic turf longevity and playability. That said, if your property backs up to the wooded areas near West Cobb parks, you might have some shade in the morning, and we factor that into material selection. Newer construction homes in the 30127 and 30152 ZIP codes often come with tighter lot lines and HOA restrictions, so we always verify setback requirements and landscape guidelines before we break ground. Court size depends on your actual usable space and your sport priorities. A half-court basketball setup needs roughly 1,200 square feet; a full court or multi-sport layout runs closer to 2,500. We've done compact courts on smaller lots and sprawling multi-use surfaces on bigger properties. The key is right-sizing it for your family's real needs, not just what looks good on paper.
Clay soil holds water instead of draining it away, so we grade your base to slope slightly and add a drainage layer underneath. This prevents that mushy feel in wet weather and extends your court's life significantly. Without proper prep on clay, you risk soft spots and algae growth. We've seen it happen in Lost Mountain yards that skipped this step.
Most West Cobb HOAs allow sport courts, but setback distances from property lines and visibility from the street vary. We check your CC&Rs before any work starts. Backyards are almost always approved; side yards and front placements need review. It's a quick conversation with your HOA, and we can help navigate it.
We recommend UV-stabilized synthetic turf with a reinforced backing for the afternoon heat and sun exposure you get here. It handles Georgia humidity without degrading and resists the algae and mildew that can show up on courts with poor drainage. We'll match the surface to whether you're playing basketball, volleyball, or multi-sport.
Most full court projects take 5 to 7 working days from site prep through final striping and edging. Smaller half-courts or repair jobs are faster. Weather in the Mars Hill area doesn't usually delay us, and we schedule around your family's needs so we're not disrupting your routine for weeks on end.
