How We Work

A structured process, from bare ground to finished court

Most court projects stall because owners do not know what the ground needs before a slab goes down.

Orange County Sports Courts is an enquiry service for sports court construction across Orange County. We handle backyard courts, HOA and community facilities, school grounds, and commercial properties, as well as resurfacing and repair for courts that have seen better days. Tell us the site and the sport, and we arrange a local court builder to assess the ground and drainage and put the full scope in writing before anything is booked. We connect you with vetted independent local tradespeople who do the on-site work.

The process starts with an on-site evaluation, slope, sub-base condition, drainage provision, and available footprint. Orange County lots vary widely: a hillside backyard in Coto de Caza needs different grading and drainage than a flat HOA pad in Irvine, and coastal sites near Newport Beach face salt-air exposure that affects surface coating choices. None of that can be assessed from a photo or a phone call, which is why the evaluation comes first.

Once the ground has been checked, the builder produces an itemised written estimate. Sub-base compaction depth, drainage slope, concrete or asphalt base, acrylic color coating, regulation line marking, fencing, and lighting are each listed as separate line items. Nothing is bundled into a single figure. That means you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare it against any other quote you receive.

The same structured approach applies whether the job is a new pickleball court, a tennis-to-pickleball conversion, a multi-sport surface for a school, or a resurfacing run on a cracked asphalt base. A final walkthrough with the builder closes every job before sign-off. Our mission is straightforward: take the guesswork out of court construction so the finished surface plays correctly from day one.

Our Mission

We exist to take the guesswork out of sports court construction for Orange County property owners by arranging a local builder who evaluates the site, puts the scope in writing, and delivers a finished court that plays correctly.

  1. Transparency

    Every cost is listed as a separate line item before work starts.

  2. Sequence

    Site evaluation always comes before scope, and scope before booking.

  3. Specificity

    Drainage slope, base depth, and surface type are stated, not assumed.

  4. Completion

    A final walkthrough closes every job before sign-off.

The Process

From first enquiry to finished court

Four steps, each completed in order, no scope is issued until the ground has been seen.

Common Questions

What people ask before getting started

Do you build the court yourselves?

No. We are an enquiry service. We arrange a local court builder to carry out the on-site evaluation and all construction work. You deal directly with that builder from the site visit onward, and the written scope comes from them.

What does the on-site evaluation cover?

The builder checks sub-base condition, ground slope, drainage provision, and the available footprint. For hillside lots, that includes grading requirements. For coastal sites, surface coating suitability is also noted. Nothing is scoped until those factors are confirmed.

What happens if I skip the site evaluation and just want a price?

A court built on an unassessed base is a real risk. Poor sub-base compaction or inadequate drainage slope causes cracking within a few seasons, and resurfacing a failed base costs more than getting the base right the first time. We do not issue scopes without a site visit.

Do you handle HOA and city design review submissions?

The builder arranged through us is familiar with HOA design review requirements common across Orange County’s planned communities. Specific submission documents are the owner’s responsibility, but the written scope can be used to support a design review application.

Can you resurface an existing court rather than build a new one?

Yes. Resurfacing, crack repair, and sport conversions, such as tennis-to-pickleball, follow the same site-first process. The builder assesses the existing base before recommending a surface treatment or recoat schedule.

Which sports and court types do you cover?

Pickleball, basketball, tennis, and multi-sport courts for backyard, HOA, school, and commercial sites across Orange County. If you need a combination surface with regulation dimensions for more than one sport, note that in your enquiry.
