Court Construction
From raw ground to a regulation, playable court, base, coating, striping, and net system all covered.
What Goes Wrong
The surface is only as good as the decisions made before the first coat is applied.
A base poured without a slope check leaves water pooling at the baseline after every rain event, making the court unplayable and accelerating surface wear.
A site assessment confirms finished surface slope stays within 1 percent in any direction before the base scope is written.
Asphalt laid over a poorly compacted sub-base shifts and cracks within a few seasons, requiring full resurfacing far sooner than a properly specified base would.
Concrete or asphalt is selected based on existing sub-base conditions and long-term load requirements, not just upfront convenience.
Acrylic coating applied before the base has fully cured peels and bubbles, leaving an uneven playing surface that cannot be patched without stripping back to the slab.
Each acrylic layer is applied only after the previous coat reaches its specified cure interval, so adhesion holds across the full surface.
Net posts set without concrete sleeves shift under tension, throwing off regulation net height and creating a safety hazard during play.
Net posts are anchored in concrete sleeves cast during the base stage, so height and tension stay consistent once the court is signed off.
Scope of Work
Every stage from site assessment to final walkthrough is covered under one written scope.
Ground is assessed and graded to achieve a consistent slope that directs water off the court surface without pooling.
Base material is selected and poured based on sub-base conditions, with compaction and cure time built into the schedule.
Multiple acrylic layers are applied over the cured base, each allowed to reach its cure interval before the next coat is added.
Regulation pickleball lines are painted once the final acrylic coat has cured, with accuracy confirmed at the final walkthrough.
Posts are anchored in concrete sleeves and the net system is set to regulation height before the court is signed off as playable.
A slope check is run after surfacing to confirm water clears the court within the 1 percent tolerance required for proper drainage.
Evaluate a flat hardscape area for conversion rather than a full new pour.
Fencing scoped and installed as part of the written estimate.
Worn or cracked court surfaces assessed and resurfaced.
Why Choose Us
Accountability at every stage, from the first site visit to the final walkthrough, is built into how we arrange every build.
No builder is scheduled until the on-site evaluation is done and an itemised written scope is in your hands.
Base preparation, surfacing, fencing, and line marking are quoted as separate line items so you see exactly what each stage costs.
The court is not signed off until drainage, net height, and line accuracy are confirmed in person at the end of the job.
We arrange builders for single-family courts, HOA community facilities, and larger commercial sites across Orange County.
Worn or cracked courts can be assessed and resurfaced under the same written-scope process as a new build.
The Process
01
Tell us the location and intended use, and we will arrange a local builder to carry out an on-site evaluation of the ground and drainage.
02
After the site visit, you receive an itemised estimate covering base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking separately.
03
The builder completes the court to the agreed scope, and a final walkthrough confirms drainage, net height, and line accuracy before handover.
