Backyard Courts
A court sized and surfaced for your yard, ready to use year-round without rework.
What Goes Wrong
Choosing a court size from a catalog without measuring slope and drainage leads to a layout that shrinks once grading begins.
The site visit measures usable footprint, slope, and drainage path before any layout or size is put on paper.
Sport court tiles and acrylic-coated concrete perform differently on clay-heavy or poorly drained soil, picking without testing causes surface failure.
Surface type is selected after the drainage conditions are assessed, not before, so the coating holds under San Diego County’s clay-heavy soils.
A surface laid over uncompacted base shifts and cracks within a season, requiring a full tear-out to fix properly.
Sub-base compaction and surface slope are set before any coating or line marking goes down, so the finished court stays level.
Permit rules vary by city across San Diego County, starting without checking can halt the build mid-way through site work.
The builder flags permit requirements specific to your city address during the site evaluation, before any ground is broken.
Scope & Options
From a compact half-court to a multi-sport surface, the scope is set around what your yard can actually support.
A 30-by-50-foot half-court layout with regulation markings, hoop placement, and boundary lines sized for residential yards.
Full-court builds scoped after a yard measurement confirms the footprint, drainage, and clearance requirements are met.
Pickleball, volleyball, and basketball lines applied to one surface so the court serves more than one game without extra space.
Modular sport court tiles installed over a compacted sub-base, assessed against drainage conditions and intended use.
Acrylic color coating applied over a prepared concrete base, with surface slope set for drainage before coating begins.
Worn, cracked, or faded court surfaces resurfaced with new coating and markings without a full base rebuild.
Yard grade and drainage path measured before layout is scoped.
In-ground or surface-mount hoop set as part of the court build.
Surface slope graded so water clears the court after rain.
Regulation boundary and sport-specific lines marked on the finished surface.
Why Choose Us
Every step from site visit to final walkthrough is structured so you know exactly what you are getting before any work begins.
The estimate lists base prep, surfacing, markings, and hoop placement as separate line items, no bundled totals.
The on-site evaluation happens before any contract is signed, so the scope reflects your actual yard conditions.
City-specific permit requirements for your address are identified during the site visit, not after work starts.
Every line item is confirmed on-site at completion before the job is considered finished and signed off.
Worn or cracked courts can be resurfaced without a full rebuild, the same process applies to existing slabs.
