Backyard Court Builds
A flat, well-drained court your family can use year-round, scoped in writing before work begins.
Build It Right
The surface you see is only as good as the base you cannot see, here is where shortcuts show up later.
A court graded without a drainage slope pools water after rain, softening the sub-base and lifting surface tiles over time.
The builder plans the drainage path into the grading before the sub-base is compacted, so water clears the slab edge cleanly.
A concrete slab under four inches thick is prone to cracking under load, especially in San Antonio’s expansive clay soil conditions.
The slab is poured at a minimum of four inches thick, with reinforcement and cure time matched to the soil conditions on site.
Building directly over grass or uneven ground creates a surface that shifts, holds moisture, and bounces the ball unpredictably.
The builder excavates, fills, and compacts the sub-base before any surface material goes down, giving the court a stable foundation.
Concrete work, grading, and fencing in San Antonio can require permits, skipping them risks stop-work orders or fines mid-build.
Local permit requirements are confirmed before excavation starts so the project stays on schedule and meets San Antonio zoning rules.
Scope of Work
From raw ground to regulation markings, here are the components that make up a complete court build.
Excavation, fill, and sub-base compaction to create a flat, stable surface ready for the base layer.
A four-inch minimum concrete slab or compacted asphalt base layer, chosen to match site conditions and intended use.
Modular sport tiles or acrylic color coating applied over the cured base to create the finished play surface.
Court boundaries, key, free-throw line, and three-point arc painted to standard dimensions on the finished surface.
In-ground or surface-mount basketball hoop set at regulation height, anchored to the slab for long-term stability.
Optional chain-link or panel fencing and court lighting scoped into the written estimate as separate line items.
Fits smaller backyards with a regulation key and arc.
End-to-end court with dual hoops and full markings.
Drainage channels planned into the grading stage.
New acrylic coating over an existing sound slab.
