Residential Courts
A finished multi-sport surface your household can use year-round, built to handle desert heat.
What Goes Wrong
Skipping key steps early creates surface problems that are expensive to fix later.
Compacted caliche beneath Phoenix yards blocks drainage, causing water to pool under the surface and lift the base over time.
The builder excavates to the caliche, adds a sub-base, and grades a drainage slope before any surface material is placed.
Standard acrylic coatings not rated for desert UV degrade within a season, leaving a chalky, faded surface that plays poorly.
Sun exposure is mapped at the site visit, and only UV-stable coatings are specified for courts with heavy afternoon sun exposure.
Fitting multiple sports onto one surface without a proper layout plan leaves each game cramped and the run-off zones too narrow to be safe.
The builder measures usable yard space and safe run-off margins before finalising which sport dimensions can share the surface.
Choosing a surface type before assessing the existing ground means the base may shift, crack, or drain poorly within the first year.
Concrete slab, asphalt base, or modular interlocking tiles are each evaluated against the site’s soil and existing hard surfaces.
Scope of Work
One surface can carry multiple sports when the layout and base work are planned from the start.
A half-court fits most residential backyards and includes the arc, key, and boundary lines within a compact footprint.
A standard pickleball court is 20 by 44 feet and can share boundary lines with other sports using color-separated markings.
Basketball, pickleball, and volleyball lines can all share one surface with clear color separation and no overlap confusion.
A poured concrete slab provides a stable, long-lasting base and is the most common foundation for permanent backyard courts.
Interlocking sport court tiles install over an existing hard surface and allow for future removal or reconfiguration.
Worn acrylic coatings, faded lines, and cracked slabs on existing courts can be assessed and brought back to a playable condition.
In-ground or surface-mount hoop set to regulation height.
Color-coded lines for each sport on a shared surface.
Graded sub-base to move water away from the court.
UV-stable finish applied over the cured base layer.
Why Choose Us
Every step from site visit to sign-off is structured to keep the scope clear and the outcome predictable.
The builder assesses soil, drainage, and sun exposure on site before an estimate is written or a surface is recommended.
Base prep, surfacing, drainage, and line marking appear as separate line items so nothing is bundled or hidden.
Caliche soil depth, monsoon drainage, and UV exposure are each factored into the surface spec at the assessment stage.
The finished court is checked against the written scope with the homeowner present before the job is signed off.
We connect homeowners across the Phoenix metro area with local court builders who know the region’s soil and climate conditions.
The Process
01
Tell us your yard size, the sports you want, and any known site issues so we can arrange the right local builder.
02
The builder visits to check drainage, soil, and sun exposure, then produces an itemised written estimate for the full scope.
03
Base prep, surfacing, and line marking are completed, then a final walkthrough confirms the court matches the agreed scope.
