Backyard Courts
A level, durable playing surface built for year-round outdoor use in Arizona heat.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a court that lasts and one that cracks shows up in decisions made before the first pour.
Caliche soil beneath a Phoenix yard can shift and heave a slab that was never excavated to the right depth.
The builder evaluates soil type and depth before specifying base thickness, preventing heave and cracking later.
Standard acrylic coatings not rated for UV exposure degrade within a season under Phoenix sun, leaving a chalky, slippery finish.
A UV-stable acrylic coating applied in two or more layers holds color and slip resistance through Arizona summers.
A flat or improperly graded slab pools water after monsoon rain, making the surface unsafe and accelerating surface wear.
The site is graded to a controlled slope so water clears the surface quickly after heavy rain.
A post set at insufficient depth into the slab shifts under play load and can pull the anchor free over time.
The hoop post is set into the cured slab at the manufacturer-specified anchor depth and checked at final walkthrough.
Scope of Work
From a compact half-court to a full regulation layout, the scope adjusts to your space and how you plan to use it.
A poured concrete base sized for load and thermal movement, with thickness set after soil and drainage assessment.
An asphalt sub-base is specified where site conditions suit it, offering a cost-effective alternative to a full concrete pour.
UV-stable acrylic applied in multiple layers for color retention, slip resistance, and durability under year-round outdoor play.
Regulation lines laid out for a half-court or full-court layout, matched to the available footprint and intended use.
Post anchored into the cured slab at the correct depth, with alignment and height verified at the final walkthrough.
Fits most residential backyards; standard half-court is 47 x 50 ft.
Regulation full court runs 94 x 50 ft for larger properties.
Interlocking tile surface over an existing prepared base.
Coating and line refresh for worn or cracked existing slabs.
Why Choose Us
Every project is scoped on-site, estimated in writing, and closed with a walkthrough, not handed off after the pour.
A local court builder visits the site first. No estimate is written until the ground and drainage are assessed in person.
Base prep, surfacing, drainage, and line marking appear as separate line items so you see exactly what you are paying for.
The builder factors in UV exposure and caliche soil from the start, not as an afterthought when problems appear.
Backyard courts, HOA facilities, and resurfacing of worn slabs are all handled through the same enquiry process.
Surface level, line accuracy, and hoop alignment are all verified on-site before the job is considered complete.
