Every Court Type

Every court type, one enquiry process

From a backyard half-court to a multi-sport HOA facility, each project starts with a site visit and ends with a written scope.

In-Person Drainage Assessment

Slope and soil checked before any scope is written.

Sub-Base Design

Compaction depth matched to Houston clay conditions.

Acrylic Color Coating

Applied to the correct cure schedule on any base type.

Regulation Line Marking

Striped to sport-specific dimensions, not approximated.

Fencing & Lighting

Height and fixture placement sized to the sport and site.

HOA & MUD Review Support

Design requirements addressed before construction begins.

Why Us

Why Houston Sports Courts?

One coordinated process handles every element of the build, so nothing falls between separate contractors.

No Phone-Only Estimates

Every project starts with a builder on site checking the ground and drainage before a price is written.

Every Line Item in Writing

Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking are priced separately, no bundled totals that hide site costs.

Houston Soil & Drainage Knowledge

Expansive clay and heavy rainfall are accounted for in sub-base depth and drainage slope from the first evaluation.

One Process for Every Project Type

Backyard, HOA, school, and commercial builds all go through the same coordinated enquiry and scoping process.

Final Walkthrough Before Sign-Off

A site walkthrough confirms every scope item is complete before the job is closed out.

Common Failures

What goes wrong, and how the scope prevents it

Each failure below comes from a different part of the build. Catching it early costs far less than fixing it after the surface is down.

Surface Cracking Early

A slab poured on uncompacted Houston clay shifts with moisture, and the acrylic surface cracks within a season.

Sub-Base Compaction First

The on-site evaluation sets sub-base depth and compaction requirements before any surface material is ordered.

Water Pooling Mid-Court

A court graded without a designed drainage slope leaves standing water after rain, making the surface unusable for hours.

Drainage Slope Designed In

Surface slope and runoff direction are set during site prep, not corrected after the acrylic coating is applied.

Recoat Fails Again

Applying new acrylic over unrepaired cracks or low spots causes the fresh coat to fail in the same places within months.

Base Repair Before Recoating

A surface inspection identifies crack depth and low spots; repair compound is applied before any recoating begins.

Wrong Layout, Wrong Sport

Striping a multi-sport surface without a layout plan first leaves courts that overlap or miss regulation dimensions.

Layout Planned Before Base

Sport mix, footprint, and regulation striping dimensions are confirmed during the evaluation, before the base goes down.

How It Works

Three steps from enquiry to finished court

  1. 01

    Submit Your Enquiry

    Tell us the site location and the sport, and we’ll schedule an on-site visit.

  2. 02

    Receive a Written Estimate

    After the site visit, you get an itemised estimate covering base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking.

  3. 03

    Build & Final Walkthrough

    The builder completes the scope, then a final walkthrough confirms every line item before the job is signed off.

Who We Serve

Backyard owners, HOA boards, and commercial managers, one process fits all

The enquiry and scoping process is the same regardless of project size or property type.

  • Homeowners

    Homeowners who want a backyard court for basketball, pickleball, tennis, or a mix of sports. We arrange a site evaluation covering yard dimensions, drainage, and surface options, then deliver a written estimate before any work is scheduled.

  • HOA Boards & Community Managers

    HOA boards and MUD community managers responsible for shared court facilities in master-planned neighborhoods. We handle site evaluation, multi-sport layout planning, and HOA design review requirements as part of the scoping process.

  • Commercial Property Developers & Managers

    Commercial property managers and developers adding or restoring court facilities on school campuses, apartment complexes, or mixed-use sites. We coordinate site assessment, drainage design, and multi-sport surfacing through one enquiry.

About Us

How Houston Sports Courts Works

Houston Sports Courts is an enquiry service for sports court construction across Greater Houston: backyard courts, HOA facilities, school grounds, and worn courts that need resurfacing or repair. Tell us the site and the sport, and we’ll schedule a ground assessment and put the scope in writing before anything is booked.

About us

  3. Accountability

    A final walkthrough confirms every scope item is complete before sign-off.

  4. Preparation

Common Questions

Questions about getting a court built or resurfaced

  • What does the on-site evaluation actually cover?

    The builder checks the footprint dimensions, drainage slope, soil conditions, and any grading needed. That assessment drives the written estimate, so nothing in the scope is guessed remotely.

  • Will there be costs added after the estimate is agreed?

    The written estimate separates base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking as individual line items. Scope is confirmed in writing before work starts, so there are no verbal-only agreements to dispute later.

  • Do HOA or MUD design review requirements affect the build process?

    Yes. Communities in areas like The Woodlands, Katy, and Sugar Land often require design review approval before construction starts. The site assessment accounts for those requirements so the scope is written to meet them from the beginning.
