Your Yard, Your Court
A court sized, drained, and surfaced for your yard, ready for basketball, pickleball, or both.
What Goes Wrong & Why
Skipping key steps early is the most common reason backyard courts crack, flood, or fall short of what the homeowner planned.
San Antonio’s expansive clay soil shifts after rain, cracking any surface laid over an uncompacted subgrade.
The builder excavates, compacts the subgrade, and installs a gravel sub-base before any surface material goes down.
A court without a graded slope traps standing water, which softens the base and creates a slippery play surface.
Drainage slope is measured and set during site grading so water clears the court perimeter on all sides.
A surface chosen without considering South Texas UV exposure can fade, warp, or become unsafe within a few seasons.
Sport court tiles, acrylic coatings, and concrete slabs are matched to sun exposure and maintenance expectations before ordering.
Fitting two sports into one yard without a measured plan often leaves unsafe run-off zones and overlapping line markings.
The builder stakes the full footprint, including buffer clearance, before any base work begins, so the fit is confirmed on the ground.
Scope & Options
From a compact half-court tile surface to a full multi-sport layout with fencing and lighting, the scope is set by your yard and your sport.
A 30 by 60 foot footprint fits a regulation pickleball court or a half-court basketball setup with run-off clearance on all sides.
Basketball and pickleball lines can share one surface using color-coded regulation striping so each sport reads clearly during play.
Sport court tiles, poured concrete slab, and acrylic-coated surfaces each carry different maintenance and UV-resistance profiles for South Texas heat.
Slope grading and sub-base compaction are scoped before surfacing to prevent settling, cracking, and standing water after heavy rain.
In-ground or portable hoop set to regulation height.
Permanent post or portable net fitted to court width.
Chain-link or vinyl fencing sized to the court footprint.
Regulation lines painted or taped after surface cures.
Snap-together sport tiles laid over prepared base.
