How We Work

Sports court construction is more involved than most expect

Greater Houston’s clay soils, high water table, and heavy rainfall make the ground conditions here genuinely different.

Houston Sports Courts is an enquiry service for sports court construction and resurfacing across Greater Houston, covering Houston, The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Fulshear, and surrounding communities. We connect you with vetted independent local tradespeople who do the on-site work. Tell us the site and the sport, and we arrange a local court builder to assess the ground and drainage, then put the full scope in writing before anything is booked.

Greater Houston’s expansive gumbo clay soil shifts with moisture. A court base that isn’t compacted to the right depth and graded for surface drainage will crack and heave within a few seasons. Every project we arrange starts with an in-person site evaluation, no remote estimates, no assumptions about what’s under the surface. The builder checks soil conditions, slope, and drainage before a single number goes on paper.

Once the site is assessed, you receive an itemised written estimate covering base preparation, concrete or asphalt base, acrylic color coating, regulation line marking, fencing, and lighting as separate line items. Nothing is bundled into a vague total. That estimate is your record of exactly what is included, and no work begins until you have it in hand.

We handle enquiries for backyard pickleball and basketball courts, HOA and community multi-sport facilities, school courts, commercial properties, and resurfacing or repair for worn-out slabs. If your court needs a tennis-to-pickleball conversion, new fencing, or upgraded lighting, those scopes are written and arranged the same way, in writing, after an on-site look, before any commitment is made.

Our Mission

We exist to make sports court construction straightforward for Houston-area property owners by arranging site evaluation, written scopes, and vetted local builders before any work begins.

  1. Transparency

    Every cost is listed as a separate line item in writing before work starts.

  2. Specificity

    Site conditions, soil, slope, drainage, are assessed in person, not estimated remotely.

  3. Accountability

    A final walkthrough closes every job before the customer signs off.

  4. Thoroughness

    Scope covers base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking as a complete package.

The Process

From first enquiry to final walkthrough

Request a Site Visit

  1. 01

    Submit Your Enquiry

    Tell us the site address, the sport or sports you want to play, and any details about the space, size, existing surface, fencing, or lighting needs.

  2. 02

    Arrange a Site Visit

    We arrange a local court builder to visit the site, assess the soil, slope, and drainage, and take measurements. No commitments are made at this stage.

  3. 03

    Receive a Written Scope

    You get an itemised written estimate covering sub-base compaction, surfacing, acrylic coating, line marking, fencing, and lighting as separate line items.

  4. 04

    Work Begins & Is Tracked

    Once you approve the scope, the local builder schedules the job. Cure intervals for concrete and acrylic coatings are built into the timeline from the start.

  5. 05

    Complete the Walkthrough

    A final walkthrough is completed before the job is signed off. Any outstanding items are resolved before you confirm completion.

Common Questions

What people ask before getting started

Do you build the courts yourselves?

No. Houston Sports Courts is an enquiry service. We arrange vetted independent local court builders to carry out the on-site work. Every project starts with a site visit from that local builder, and the full scope is confirmed in writing before any work begins.

Why does Houston’s soil matter for court construction?

Greater Houston sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. A court base that isn’t compacted to the correct depth and graded for drainage will crack and shift within a few seasons. The site evaluation specifically checks soil conditions and surface slope before any base work is scoped.

What does the written estimate include?

The estimate lists sub-base compaction, concrete or asphalt base, acrylic color coating, regulation line marking, fencing, and lighting as separate line items. Nothing is bundled into a single total, so you can see exactly what each element costs before approving anything.

What happens if I delay resurfacing a worn court?

Small surface cracks let water reach the base layer. In Houston’s heavy-rainfall conditions, that water accelerates base erosion and widens the cracks. A court that needs a straightforward resurfacing today can require full base repair if left another season, a significantly higher cost.

Do you cover areas outside Houston city limits?

Yes. The service area includes The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Fulshear, and surrounding Greater Houston communities. HOA and MUD design review requirements common in master-planned communities are factored into the scoping process.

Can an existing tennis court be converted to pickleball?

Yes. A standard tennis court can be lined for pickleball, typically two side-by-side courts, without replacing the base if the slab is in sound condition. The site evaluation checks the existing surface and base before a conversion scope is written.
