Sports We Build For
Pickleball
The fastest-growing backyard sport. We build regulation courts with proper surfacing, net posts, and line markings — ready for serious play or casual family fun.
Basketball
Full and half-court layouts with professional hoops, painted keys, and three-point lines. Great for kids learning the game and adults staying sharp.
Tennis
Full-size and compact tennis courts with net systems, proper bounce surfaces, and optional windscreens. Consistent play, low maintenance, built to last.
Multi-Sport
Can't choose? We combine sports on a single surface — pickleball lines inside a tennis court, basketball alongside it all. One court, every game.
Volleyball
Backyard volleyball courts with proper sand or hard-surface options, net systems, and boundary markings. Perfect for summer entertaining.
Futsal
A compact, fast-paced version of soccer built for backyard spaces. Great for kids developing footwork and ball control year-round.
The Build
Engineered for Performance, Designed for Your Home
Every court starts with a proper base — graded, compacted, and drained — so your surface stays flat and playable for years. We don't cut corners on the foundation because that's what makes the difference long-term.
Unlike bare concrete, our sport surfaces provide shock absorption and slip resistance that's easier on joints and safer for kids. Families tell us they use their court every single day — for basketball, pickleball, bike riding, and everything in between.
Surface color, line combinations, fencing style, lighting — all chosen with you so the finished court looks like it belongs in your yard, not dropped in from a gym.
Common Questions
How much space do I need for a backyard court?
It depends on the sport. A pickleball court needs about 30×60 ft; a half basketball court can fit in roughly 30×25 ft. We'll assess your yard and recommend the best layout during a free site visit.
What's the difference between a sport tile court and a concrete court?
A modular sport tile surface is installed over a concrete or engineered base and provides shock absorption, slip resistance, and better ball response than bare concrete. It's easier on joints, safer for kids, and far more versatile for multi-sport use. Individual tiles can also be replaced if damaged — no need to resurface the whole court.
Can I combine multiple sports on one court?
Absolutely — multi-sport courts are one of our specialties. We design the layout so every sport plays well without compromising any other. Custom line colors make it easy to read each game.
Is the surface slippery when wet?
No — modular sport tile has a perforated design that lets water drain through, reducing puddling and improving grip compared to sealed concrete or painted surfaces. It's one of the safest outdoor court surfaces available.
Can a court be installed over my existing concrete slab?
In many cases, yes — as long as the slab is structurally sound and properly sloped for drainage. We evaluate cracks, expansion joints, slope, and drainage before recommending the best approach.
How long does a backyard sport court last?
A properly installed court can last 20–30+ years. The surfaces are UV-stabilized and weather-resistant. Unlike painted acrylic courts, there's no resurfacing cycle — which saves money and hassle over time.
Do you install lighting?
Yes — LED court lighting is available and makes evening play possible year-round. We design lighting to minimize glare and spillover onto neighboring properties.
Can I customize the colors and add a logo?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of surface colors, border options, and custom line striping. We can also incorporate logos, school colors, or team branding — popular for estates, HOAs, and family courts.
