This Charlotte backyard sport court got a cleaner, more finished look with professionally installed landscape turf around the sides and back of the court.
For this 800-square-foot project, STC installed artificial grass around the basketball/sport court to create a sharp green border that improves the look and usability of the entire backyard. Since water naturally runs off a hard court surface, drainage was added along the turf edges to help capture runoff and move it away properly.
That matters. Without the right drainage plan, water can collect where you do not want it. With the right setup, the space stays cleaner, more usable, and easier to maintain.
The homeowner also avoids the headaches that come with mowing natural grass around a court, blowing grass clippings off the playing surface, dealing with muddy spots, or constantly cleaning up after rain.
Artificial grass can be a great option around sport courts, patios, pools, play areas, and other backyard features when the installation is planned correctly from the base up.
