Backyard Courts
A court sized and surfaced for your yard, with a written scope before anything is booked.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a court that lasts and one that cracks or floods comes down to what happens before the first tile is laid.
A base laid on uneven or poorly compacted ground will shift and crack within a few seasons, leaving an uneven playing surface.
Every build starts with a slope and compaction check so the sub-base spec is written to match actual ground conditions.
Water pooling under modular tiles or at the edge of a slab lifts the surface and creates slip hazards after any rain.
Drainage slope is assessed and specified in the written estimate before any surfacing material is ordered or installed.
Choosing tiles or acrylic coating without matching the surface to the sport and foot traffic leads to premature wear and poor ball response.
The builder recommends a surface category, modular tile or poured concrete with acrylic coating, based on your sport list and usage frequency.
Starting construction without checking city-specific permit rules in Orange County can result in stop-work orders and costly rework.
A permit review for your specific city is part of the planning process, completed before the written scope is issued.
Court Options
From a single-sport half-court to a compact multi-sport layout, the scope is matched to your yard size and the sports your family actually plays.
A 47-by-50-foot layout fits most Orange County residential lots and supports a regulation hoop and painted key.
A single 30-by-60-foot footprint can carry basketball, pickleball, and volleyball lines with shared net posts.
Sports court tiles install over an existing concrete slab, drain through the joints, and require no cure time after installation.
A poured slab with acrylic color coating gives a harder, faster surface and supports painted court lines for any sport.
Ground is compacted and sloped before any surface goes down.
Slope and runoff path confirmed before surfacing begins.
Sport-specific line marking applied to the finished surface.
In-ground or surface-mount hoop set to regulation height.
Net posts and hardware installed to match the court layout.
City-specific permit check handled as part of the scope.
Why Choose Us
Every step from first call to final walkthrough is structured so nothing is committed to paper until the ground has been checked.
No written estimate is issued until a local builder has checked the ground, drainage, and slope in person.
Base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking are each costed separately so you see exactly what you are paying for.
Permit requirements differ across Orange County cities, and that check is built into the planning process before work begins.
The job is not closed until you have walked the finished court and confirmed every element matches the written scope.
If an existing court needs resurfacing or repair, we arrange that through the same local builder network.
