Older Home — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A lot of West Cobb homeowners in the Lost Mountain and Mars Hill areas are discovering that a backyard sport court is one of the smartest investments they can make—especially if you've got kids or you're thinking about selling down the road. Here's the thing: older homes in this part of Cobb County often have yards that are either too small for traditional grass courts or they've got drainage issues because of the clay soil we deal with around here. Artificial turf sport courts solve both problems at once. You get a professional-grade playing surface that handles Georgia's humidity and rain without turning into a mud pit, and it actually looks better year-round than natural grass. We're just 12 minutes from West Cobb, so we know exactly what works in these neighborhoods. Whether you're looking at Harrison High School's athletic standards or just wanting a place where your family can actually play without worrying about the yard falling apart, a properly installed sport court is going to transform how you use your backyard. No more brown patches, no more puddles, no more excuses.
West Cobb sits on Cobb County's notorious red clay, which is beautiful for the landscape but terrible for drainage if you're trying to maintain a natural grass court. Clay compacts easily, holds water, and creates that sticky mess every time it rains—which happens a lot in Georgia. Artificial turf eliminates that headache entirely. Most of the properties we work with in Lost Mountain and Mars Hill have yards ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet, which is plenty of room for a quality sport court without feeling cramped. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on whether your lot sits near the wooded areas or in the newer construction zones where there's more direct afternoon sun. We account for both when we design drainage and base preparation. One thing homeowners sometimes don't realize: the clay base actually works in our favor for installation. It's stable and compacted, which means we don't need as much additional grading as you'd need in sandy or loose soil. Still, we always pull permits through Cobb County and make sure everything meets local codes, especially if you're in an HOA neighborhood—some have specific landscape guidelines about court placement and visibility from the street.
Absolutely. Clay is actually more stable than sandy soil for the base layer we install underneath. The real advantage is drainage—we build the court with a slight slope and a perforated base so water runs through instead of pooling like it would on natural grass. You'll never have that muddy, unplayable yard again, even after heavy Georgia rain.
Yes, but we assess sun and shade patterns during the design phase. Artificial turf doesn't need sunlight to stay green, which is actually an advantage in shaded yards. However, we do consider afternoon sun exposure for temperature and how the court feels underfoot during peak summer play.
Many Mars Hill and Lost Mountain communities have HOA guidelines about outdoor structures. We handle all the details—placement, sight lines, color coordination—to ensure compliance. We'll even work with your HOA directly if needed before we break ground.
From initial consultation to finished court typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on permit processing with Cobb County and weather windows. We handle site prep, base installation, turf laying, and line marking in one efficient process. You're usually playing within a month of calling us.
