Single Court Build
A regulation court built to the right footprint, with proper drainage and a surface that holds up season after season.
Common Build Failures
The difference between a court that lasts and one that needs early repairs usually comes down to decisions made before the first pour.
A base without a correct drainage gradient traps water; freeze-thaw cycles in the north or heavy rain in the south crack the slab within a few seasons.
Drainage slope is measured during the site assessment and corrected in the base scope before any surfacing work begins.
Building to the 20 x 44 ft playing area alone leaves no safe runoff zone; players run out of room and the court feels cramped from day one.
The full 30 x 60 ft footprint is confirmed on-site before base work starts, so clearance zones are built in from the ground up.
Coating over a cracked, heaved, or low-spotted slab without evaluation locks in the defect; the surface fails at those points within one season.
The local builder evaluates the existing slab for bond readiness and slope before any acrylic coating is applied or a new base is scoped.
Lump-sum quotes hide the cost of fencing, lighting, and net post anchoring; buyers only see the gap when the invoice arrives.
Base prep, surfacing, line marking, and every add-on are listed as separate line items so you approve each component before work starts.
Scope of Work
Every build starts with site prep and ends with a regulation playing surface, optional add-ons are scoped and priced separately.
Ground is graded to the correct slope so water sheds away from the slab and does not pool under the surface.
The base type is selected for the site conditions; sub-base compaction is completed before the slab is poured or laid.
Two or more coats of acrylic surface coating are applied after the base cures, giving the court its playing texture and color.
Court lines are marked to official pickleball dimensions, including the kitchen, service boxes, and baselines.
Net posts are anchored into the slab at regulation spacing so the net sits at the correct height across the full width.
Chain-link or vinyl-coated fencing keeps balls in play.
LED pole lighting for evening play.
Contrasting court and out-of-bounds colors.
Mesh windscreen attached to perimeter fencing.
Why Choose Us
Every enquiry is handled the same way: an on-site evaluation first, a written estimate second, and a final walkthrough before the project closes.
The on-site evaluation produces a written base-condition report, so the estimate reflects the actual site, not a best guess.
Base prep, surfacing, line marking, and add-ons are listed as separate line items, no lump sums, no hidden scope.
A local court builder carries out the on-site work, so site-specific decisions are made by someone who has seen the ground.
Lines, net post anchors, and surface finish are checked at a final walkthrough before the project is marked complete.
