Licensed Contractor — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Sport courts have become a game-changer for families in West Cobb, especially in neighborhoods like Lost Mountain and the Mars Hill area where newer construction means backyards are built to handle modern upgrades. We've installed quite a few of these throughout 30127 and 30152, and the feedback is consistent: parents love having a dedicated space for basketball, pickleball, or tennis without the wear and tear of constant yard traffic. What works here in Cobb County is different from other parts of Georgia. Our clay-heavy soil and the way these newer subdivisions drain means we have to prep the base differently than you'd do in sandier regions. The good news? That solid foundation actually makes for a more stable court surface long-term. We typically handle everything from the initial site assessment through final line marking, and because we're just 12 minutes from West Cobb, we can often turn projects around faster than contractors coming from farther out. The real value isn't just in the court itself—it's in keeping your family active at home and adding genuine resale appeal to properties in this area.
Cobb County's clay base is honestly a blessing and a challenge. That dense, compacted soil drains well once it's been properly graded, but it requires precise excavation and base material selection. We don't skimp on the sub-base layer here—inadequate prep in West Cobb yards leads to settling and surface cracking within a couple seasons. The newer homes in Lost Mountain and around Harrison High School often sit on smaller-to-medium lots, which means we're frequently working with 20x40 or 30x50 footprints. That's totally workable for a regulation sport court, though sun and shade patterns matter. Properties facing west or south get more afternoon heat, which can accelerate wear on synthetic surfaces, so we sometimes recommend premium turf grades in those orientations. Many HOAs in West Cobb subdivisions have landscaping guidelines—we always verify those before quoting so there are no surprises about court color, fencing, or buffer zones. The good news is most modern developments recognize sports courts as a valuable amenity rather than an eyesore. Installation typically takes 5-7 business days depending on site conditions and drainage work needed.
Not if it's handled correctly. The clay actually provides excellent stability once compacted and properly graded. The key is making sure water doesn't pond under the court surface. We install engineered base materials and drainage solutions specific to clay conditions, and we've never had settling issues in West Cobb installations. It's actually more predictable than working with sandy or mixed soils.
Most do, especially in newer subdivisions like Lost Mountain. We recommend checking your CC&Rs and contacting your board before committing, but we've seen very few rejections in 30127 and 30152. Many HOAs actually encourage them as family-friendly improvements. We can help you understand what color and border options meet your specific covenant requirements.
Typically 5-7 business days from site prep through final installation. Since we're based just 12 minutes away, we can schedule flexibly and handle punch-list items quickly. Weather and soil drainage work might add a day or two, but we'll give you realistic timelines during the site visit.
We generally recommend premium-grade synthetic turf with UV stabilizers for south-facing or west-facing courts. The intense afternoon heat here means lower-grade materials fade and harden faster. A good infill system also helps regulate temperature and improve longevity in our climate.
