Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Your backyard in West Cobb deserves better than patchy grass and red clay mud. A lot of homes around Lost Mountain and the Mars Hill area sit on that notorious Cobb County clay—the kind that turns into concrete in summer and swallows your shoes in spring. Sport courts fix that problem permanently. Whether you're in 30127 or 30152, we've installed courts for families who got tired of watching their kids slip on wet grass or tracking clay into the house. The Harrison High School area and surrounding neighborhoods have solid lot sizes, which means you've actually got room to work with. We're just 12 minutes away, so we know your soil conditions, your sun patterns, and exactly how to build a court that'll handle Georgia's humidity without turning into a skating rink. If you've got an uneven backyard, dead spots, or just don't want to mow anymore, a sport court is the upgrade that actually changes how your family uses outdoor space.
Cobb County clay is tough. It doesn't drain like sandy soil, and West Cobb's newer construction homes often have compacted subgrade that causes pooling. We always recommend proper base preparation—we're talking crushed stone and gravel layers that account for your clay foundation. Your yard's elevation and slope matter too. A lot of homes in Lost Mountain and around Mars Hill have decent grades, but we check for low spots where water collects. Sun exposure varies by lot, but most West Cobb properties get solid afternoon sun from the southwest. That's good news for durability; it keeps the surface from staying damp. Shade from mature trees near Harrison High School's neighborhoods can extend court life because UV breakdown happens slower. HOA rules in some West Cobb subdivisions require specific colors or setbacks, so we always verify before installation. Lot sizes in this area typically run 0.3 to 0.75 acres, which is plenty for a half-court or full-court setup. One quirk: newer construction homes sometimes have settling issues in year one or two. We design courts with slight crowning to handle Georgia's seasonal moisture swings.
Yes. The key is a proper base layer. We don't build directly on Cobb County clay—we excavate, compact, add crushed stone and gravel, then lay the court structure on top. This prevents your court from settling unevenly or cracking. Newer construction homes sometimes have settling in the first couple of years, but our base design accounts for that.
We crown the court slightly and grade it toward perimeter drains or existing yard drainage. Cobb County clay doesn't absorb water, so surface drainage is everything. We make sure water sheds off quickly so you're not dealing with puddles after Georgia's afternoon thunderstorms.
Most homes in the 30127 and 30152 areas have enough space. A half-court takes about 2,500–3,000 sq ft including buffers. We survey your lot, check for underground utilities, and work around trees or deck placement. Many families are surprised how much usable court they can squeeze in.
Lighter colors reflect more heat, which helps in Georgia summers. Some HOAs have color restrictions, so we verify that first. Darker surfaces look sharper but get hotter underfoot. We'll show you samples and discuss durability trade-offs for your specific lot orientation and shade patterns.
