Residential Court Builds
A court sized, drained, and surfaced for your yard so your family can play year-round without puddles or cracks.
What Goes Wrong
Skipping a step in the planning sequence is where most backyard court problems start.
A court built without a confirmed drainage path will pool water after every South Florida afternoon storm, softening the base over time.
The builder maps the drainage path and grades the sub-base before any concrete or asphalt is poured, so water clears the surface fast.
An existing driveway or patio slab that is cracked or slightly sunken will telegraph those flaws straight through the new acrylic surface coat.
The on-site evaluation checks the existing slab for level, cracks, and drainage before deciding whether it can be reused or needs replacement.
Skipping sub-base compaction leaves voids beneath the surface that cause cracking and settlement within a few seasons of regular play.
Sub-base compaction is completed and inspected before any surface material is applied, giving the acrylic coat a stable, crack-resistant foundation.
A standard paint coat applied without UV-stable acrylic will fade and chalk within a year of South Florida’s year-round sun exposure.
The surface is finished with an acrylic color coat rated for UV stability, applied after the base fully cures to the correct recoat interval.
Court Options
From a single-sport half court to a multi-sport layout, the scope is set by what your yard can support and what you want to play.
A half court or three-quarter layout with a concrete or asphalt base, acrylic surface coat, and regulation key and arc markings.
A 20 x 44-foot playing area with a compacted base, acrylic surface, kitchen and service box lines, and net post anchors.
Overlapping line sets for basketball and pickleball on one surface, sized to the yard and color-coded to keep each sport readable.
Acrylic recoat, crack repair, and fresh line marking for an existing court that is worn, faded, or holding water after rain.
Slope correction so water clears the surface after rain.
Chain-link or vinyl-coated fence to contain play.
In-ground post and backboard anchored to the base.
Permanent net post anchors set during base pour.
Regulation lines applied after the surface fully cures.
Why Choose Us
Every phase of the job is scoped in writing and confirmed on-site, so nothing is left to assumption.
No estimate is issued until slope and drainage are confirmed on-site, so the scope reflects your actual yard conditions.
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, and line marking appear as separate line items so you know exactly what each phase costs.
South Florida’s rainy season and UV load are factored into base depth, surface spec, and drainage design from day one.
Surface slope, line marking, and drainage are checked together at the end of the job before the work is considered complete.
Worn or faded courts can be recoated and re-marked without a full rebuild, extending the life of an existing base.
