From raw ground to a fully striped, playable surface, every stage is handled by a local court builder arranged through us.
Site Grading & Leveling
Uneven terrain is excavated and compacted to a consistent grade so the slab cures flat and water drains clear of the surface.
Concrete Slab Base
A properly cured concrete slab forms the structural foundation, the thickness and mix are specified for the intended load and soil type.
Acrylic Sport Court Surface
Multiple coats of acrylic coating are applied over the cured slab, delivering a consistent playing surface that handles UV and heat.
Interlocking Court Tiles
Modular tile systems offer a faster install and a softer playing surface where a poured slab is not the right fit for the site.
Court Striping & Markings
Regulation lines for each sport are laid out as a single coordinated plan with color-coded paint so every game is clearly readable.
Basketball Hoops & Net Posts
Hoops and net posts are set in concrete footings at regulation overhang and height, ready for play at the final walkthrough.
Drainage System Installation
Channels and slopes that move water away from the surface.
Perimeter Fencing
Chain-link or panel fencing sized to the court footprint.
Slope & Drainage Inspection
Pre-build check of grade, runoff path, and soil conditions.
One Footprint, Multiple Sports
How a multi-sport court goes from raw ground to playable surface
The most common misconception is that a concrete slab alone is enough, the finished play surface requires coating, drainage, and accurate striping on top of it.
The process starts with a site measurement and slope check. Many San Antonio residential lots and HOA spaces have uneven terrain that requires grading before a slab can be poured. The builder confirms the footprint fits the intended sports, with a 30-by-60-foot minimum for a pickleball court plus basketball key, and checks that the drainage path is clear before any excavation begins.
Base preparation covers excavation, subgrade compaction, and slab pouring. Once the concrete has reached its full cure interval, an acrylic sport court surface is applied in multiple passes. Interlocking court tiles are an alternative where a faster install or a softer playing surface is the priority. Both options handle San Antonio’s heat and UV load without significant degradation when correctly specified.
Court striping is planned as a single coordinated layout so lines for each sport are visually distinct without cluttering the surface. Basketball, pickleball, and four-square can share a footprint with color-coded lines. Basketball hoops and net posts are set in concrete footings at the correct overhang and height. A final walkthrough confirms surface flatness, drainage flow, and marking accuracy before the job is signed off.

Most multi-sport court projects in the San Antonio area come in at $25,000-$45,000, depending on court size, surface type, and whether fencing or lighting is included. A basic concrete base with acrylic surfacing sits at the lower end; adding fencing, LED lighting, and multiple line sets pushes the total higher. An itemised written estimate is provided after an on-site evaluation.
What affects the price of a multi-sport court the most?
Court size and base preparation are the two biggest cost drivers. A yard that needs significant grading or drainage work adds to the base prep cost before surfacing even begins. Surface material, fencing height, lighting, and the number of sport line sets each add incrementally to the total.
What does the total project price usually cover?
The itemised written estimate covers base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking as applicable to your project. There is also a final walkthrough before the job is signed off. Any scope items outside that list are called out separately so there are no surprises at the end.
Can I put a pickleball court in my backyard?
Yes, provided you have roughly 30 by 60 feet of usable flat space, a backyard pickleball court is achievable. Tighter lots can sometimes work with a slightly reduced buffer zone around the court lines. An on-site evaluation confirms whether your specific yard can accommodate a regulation or near-regulation layout. See Pickleball Court Installation for more detail.
Will a multi-sport court fit in my yard?
It depends on which sports you want to combine and how much flat space is available. A shared basketball and pickleball court can fit in roughly 50 by 84 feet; adding tennis requires significantly more room. An on-site evaluation measures the usable area and flags any grading or drainage issues before a layout is proposed.
Can one court work for basketball and pickleball?
Yes. A standard half-court basketball layout overlaps well with a pickleball court, and both sets of lines can be painted in contrasting colors on the same acrylic surface. The shared footprint is manageable for most residential lots, making this one of the most common multi-sport combinations requested.
Will a multi-sport court work on a small property?
Smaller properties can still support a multi-sport setup if the sport combination is chosen to match the available space. A pickleball and basketball overlay, for example, needs far less room than adding tennis. The on-site evaluation identifies the largest court that fits your lot without compromising drainage or setbacks.
Is a concrete slab the same as a sport court?
No. A concrete slab is the structural base; a sport court also includes an acrylic or modular surface layer, line markings, and typically fencing. Playing on bare concrete increases joint stress and offers no traction control. The surface layer is what makes the slab perform as a court rather than just a pad.
