Tennis Court Construction in Marietta, GA

Lot grading and soil composition are the first things we evaluate on any Marietta property. Much of Cobb County sits on red clay, which can shift with heavy rain and freeze thaw cycles if not properly graded and compacted before construction begins. Sloped lots, common in older neighborhoods closer to downtown Marietta as well as newer developments further out, often require retaining work or additional drainage planning to keep a court level and stable for the long term.

Tree coverage is another factor we assess closely, since root systems and shade patterns can affect both the court base and how quickly the surface dries after rain. Properties in wooded or established subdivisions may need clearing or drainage adjustments, while open lots in newer communities typically require less site prep. We walk every property in person before recommending a layout, so the plan matches the real conditions of your yard or site rather than a generic template.

A regulation tennis court requires roughly 60 feet by 120 feet of usable space to accommodate the playing surface plus standard run off areas behind the baselines and along the sidelines. Many Marietta properties, particularly larger lots in East Cobb and parts of West Marietta, have enough room for a full size court, while smaller in town lots may call for a modified layout or reduced run off to fit comfortably.

We also plan for orientation, since court direction affects sun glare during play, and for access points for equipment and future maintenance. If a full court will not fit, we discuss alternatives such as a multi use court that can support both tennis and pickleball, or a smaller dedicated pickleball layout. Every site plan accounts for setbacks, HOA guidelines, and any easements that may apply to the property.

We install both standard and cushioned acrylic surfacing systems over post tension concrete or asphalt bases, giving homeowners and facility managers a choice between a firmer traditional feel and a softer, more forgiving playing surface. Surfacing is especially important in a climate like Marietta's, where summer heat and seasonal humidity can affect court temperature and surface wear over time. We help clients select coatings suited to heavy sun exposure and regular use.

Court colors typically follow familiar two tone or three tone schemes, and we work with property owners to choose combinations that suit the surrounding landscaping or match existing HOA and club color standards. Line painting can be set up for tennis only, or we can add pickleball lines to the same court for multi sport flexibility. Net posts, windscreens, and fencing are planned alongside surfacing so the finished court looks cohesive from day one.

HOAs, swim and tennis clubs, schools, and commercial properties across Cobb County rely on well maintained courts as an amenity that draws residents and members. Given how common HOA communities are throughout Marietta, East Cobb, and surrounding areas, we regularly work with community boards and property managers on new court construction as well as resurfacing projects for courts that have reached the end of their usable surface life.

These projects often involve coordinating with multiple stakeholders, from HOA boards to facility staff, and may include adding pickleball lines or converting an underused tennis court into a multi sport space to better serve a growing membership base. We provide site evaluations and estimates for community associations and commercial clients, and we plan construction timing around club schedules and seasonal usage patterns whenever possible.

Our crews also build tennis courts in East Cobb for neighbors nearby.

Our process starts with a free consultation and site visit, where we assess grading, drainage, tree coverage, and available space before recommending a layout. From there, clients can use our online 3D court builder to visualize court dimensions, colors, and surfacing choices before any construction begins. Once a design is approved, we provide an accurate estimate outlining the scope of grading, base construction, surfacing, and fencing work involved.

Construction moves through site preparation and grading, base installation using post tension concrete or asphalt, acrylic surfacing application, and finally line painting, net post installation, and any fencing or windscreen additions. For resurfacing projects, we evaluate the existing base for cracks or drainage issues and address repairs before applying new surfacing and lines. Throughout the project, we keep property owners informed of progress and next steps.
