Backyard Courts
A level, well-drained court your family can play on year-round, built to handle Houston’s clay soil and summer heat.
What Goes Wrong
The surface is rarely the problem. What sits underneath it, and how the ground was prepared, determines whether a court lasts.
A base poured over uneven or soft ground settles unevenly, opening cracks across the slab within a season or two.
Every build starts with a grade check and low-spot survey so the base sits on compacted, level ground from day one.
Houston’s clay soil sheds water slowly; a flat slab traps it, softening the sub-base and accelerating surface wear.
The slab is set to a deliberate drainage slope so rainwater runs clear of the playing surface, not across it.
Thin or low-grade acrylic coatings chalk and peel under Houston’s UV load, leaving a rough, uneven playing surface.
A UV-resistant acrylic color coating is applied at the specified film thickness so the surface holds color and grip for years.
Concrete work or drainage changes that skip Harris County review can trigger stop-work orders or require costly removal.
The site evaluation confirms whether Harris County permit requirements apply before any base material is ordered or poured.
Scope of Work
From raw ground to a regulation playing surface, every element of the build is handled as one coordinated project.
A concrete slab provides the most stable long-term foundation and pairs directly with an acrylic surface coating for a regulation playing feel.
Asphalt is a mid-range base option that works well when drainage slope is carefully set and the sub-base is properly compacted first.
Interlocking polypropylene tiles over a prepared sub-base offer a flexible alternative that can be reconfigured or replaced section by section.
UV-stable acrylic coating is applied over the cured base, then regulation line striping is laid out to half-court or full-court dimensions.
Post anchoring, backboard mounting, and rim alignment are completed as part of the same project so the court is ready to play on handover.
Fits most residential backyards; regulation key and arc.
94 x 50 ft standard; suited to larger lots and HOA sites.
Ground preparation before any base material is poured.
Slope engineering and sub-base drainage for clay soils.
Why Choose Us
Court-specific process, written scope, and a final walkthrough, not a general contractor handing off to a sub at the last minute.
A local court builder visits your lot to assess grade and drainage before a single line item is written up.
Base prep, surfacing, line marking, and hoop installation are quoted as separate line items, no lump-sum surprises.
The site check flags Harris County permit requirements upfront so the project does not stall after work has started.
Surface level, line accuracy, and hoop alignment are verified on-site before the job is considered complete.
We arrange builds for backyard courts, HOA facilities, schools, and commercial sites across Greater Houston.
