Backyard Courts
One surface for basketball, pickleball, and more, graded, drained, and lined for your yard.
Built Right or Built Again
A base poured over ungraded clay soil will heave after the first wet season, cracking the surface and pooling water at center court.
Excavation and aggregate compaction are sized to the actual slope and soil type found on-site, not a standard depth estimate.
A flat pour on Raleigh’s clay-heavy soil stays saturated after summer rain, making the surface soft and unsafe for days at a time.
The concrete or asphalt pour is set to a deliberate drainage slope so water clears the playing area quickly after rain.
Painting multiple sports onto one surface without a color plan produces a court where no game’s boundaries are readable at speed.
Each sport gets its own line color, basketball, pickleball, and volleyball boundaries stay visually separate on a shared surface.
A poured acrylic coating and modular sport tiles play differently, choosing by appearance rather than use load leads to early wear or poor ball response.
Surface system selection is based on the sports being played, expected traffic, and site conditions confirmed during the on-site assessment.
Scope of Work
From the first site measurement to the final line marking, every stage of the build is handled as a single written scope.
Layout is sized to the available footprint, a half-court can fit basketball and two pickleball courts on many residential lots.
The base material is selected by sport, load, and soil conditions, then poured with a built-in drainage slope across the full surface.
Interlocking tiles install over a prepared concrete slab and deliver a cushioned, UV-stable surface without acrylic cure time.
Color-differentiated striping for basketball, pickleball, volleyball, and badminton keeps each game’s boundaries clear on one shared court.
Ground leveled and excavated to the required base depth.
Slope and sub-base planned to clear standing water fast.
In-ground or surface-mount hoops set to regulation height.
Perimeter fencing sized to the court and property boundary.
Why Choose Us
Every build is backed by a clear process, from the first site visit to the final walkthrough, so nothing is left to assumption.
No written scope is issued until drainage, slope, and footprint are assessed in person on your property.
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking are listed as separate line items, no bundled totals.
Surface condition, drainage function, and line accuracy are all confirmed before the project is signed off.
Our partners handle residential backyard courts, Wake County HOA facilities, school courts, and commercial builds.
Local partners understand clay-heavy soil conditions and plan base depth and drainage accordingly from the start.
The Process
01
Submit your site details and we arrange a free on-site visit to assess slope, drainage, and the available footprint.
02
You receive an itemised estimate covering excavation, base, surface, fencing, and line marking as separate line items.
03
Construction follows the agreed scope, ending with a final walkthrough to confirm surface, drainage, and line accuracy.
