New pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts done right — from the base prep to the final stripe. Every court starts with a proper foundation, and we don't skip steps to save time.
What We Build
We build all three of the most-requested court types. Each one has different base requirements, surface specs, and striping — we'll walk you through what's right for your space.
The fastest-growing sport in the Pacific Northwest. A standard pickleball court is 20' x 44' playing area, with 30' x 60' total recommended for fences and run-off.
Full-size tennis is 60' x 120' overall. We build to USTA specs whether it's a residential single court or club-quality installation.
Full courts run 50' x 94', half-courts 47' x 50'. Most backyards go half-court — plenty of room for serious play without overtaking the yard.
How We Build
A court is more than what you see on top. The work underneath — base prep and drainage — is what determines how long it lasts.
Step 1
We start with a proper survey — checking sun direction, drainage patterns, and how the court fits the lot. Then we excavate, install drainage if needed, and grade the sub-base.
Step 2
For Pacific Northwest weather, we usually recommend post-tensioned concrete — it resists cracking from freeze-thaw cycles. Asphalt is a budget option that works but needs more upkeep over time.
Step 3
Multiple layers of acrylic surface — typically a resurfacer coat, two color coats, and line paint. We use proven manufacturers like California Sports Surfaces and Plexipave.
Step 4
Lines are pulled to spec — USTA, USA Pickleball, or whatever standard you're using. Net posts, nets, fencing, and any extras like windscreens or lighting are the final step before we hand it over.
What to Expect
Every site is different, so these are general ranges. We give you a real number after we visit.
Pickleball
Single backyard court, typical site
2-3 weeks build time. Higher end for fencing, lighting, or tough site access.
Tennis
Full-size single court
3-5 weeks build time. Post-tensioned slab and fencing drive most of the variance.
Basketball
Half-court, residential
2-3 weeks build time. Full-court roughly doubles the cost.
Ranges assume reasonable site access and standard finishes. Permits, drainage work, and lighting add to the project total.
A single backyard pickleball court on a typical site runs $25,000 to $50,000. Fencing, lighting, and difficult site access push toward the upper end. Tennis courts run $60,000 to $120,000 for a full-size single court, and a residential half-court for basketball runs $20,000 to $45,000. Those are general ranges — every site is different, so we give a real number after we visit.
Roughly two to three weeks of build time for pickleball and basketball courts, and three to five weeks for a full-size tennis court. Concrete cure time and weather drive most of the variation, and acrylic surfacing needs dry conditions to go down properly.
For Pacific Northwest weather we usually recommend post-tensioned concrete, because it resists the cracking that freeze-thaw cycles cause. Asphalt is a budget option that works, but it needs more upkeep over time and is more likely to need crack repair sooner.
A pickleball court has a 20 by 44 foot playing area, with 30 by 60 feet recommended overall to allow for run-off and fencing. Full-size tennis is 60 by 120 feet overall. A full basketball court is 50 by 94 feet; most backyards go half-court at 47 by 50 feet.
It depends on your jurisdiction and what the project involves. Grading, drainage work, fencing height, and lighting are the elements most likely to trigger a permit requirement. We flag what your site is likely to need during the estimate, and permit costs are additional to the project total.
