Court Builders
A level, durable court built to your yard, from graded base to painted lines and mounted hoops.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a court that lasts and one that cracks or puddles comes down to decisions made before the concrete is poured.
Clay soil under a slab holds water; without a graded drainage path, standing water undermines the base and lifts the surface within a few seasons.
The site is graded and given a defined drainage route before any base material is placed, so water clears the slab rather than pooling beneath it.
Austin’s UV intensity and summer heat degrade low-grade acrylic coatings quickly, leaving a faded, rough surface that needs recoating far sooner than expected.
Surface material is selected for Central Texas heat load, either a UV-stable acrylic color coat or modular sport tiles rated for outdoor use in high-sun climates.
A court laid without a proper level check often ends up too small or awkwardly shaped once the hoop is mounted and the out-of-bounds clearance is measured.
A half-court layout is confirmed at 30 by 50 feet minimum; a full court at 50 by 94 feet, with clearance on all sides measured before any base work begins.
Quotes that lump base prep and surfacing together hide how much of the budget is going to grading and excavation versus the finished playing surface.
Base preparation, surfacing, line marking, and hoop mounting are each listed as separate line items so you see exactly where the budget is allocated before committing.
Scope of Work
From a compact backyard half-court to a full commercial facility, the scope is broken out clearly at every stage.
A 30-by-50-foot footprint with graded base, surface, painted lines, and a single hoop mount, the most common backyard setup.
A regulation 50-by-94-foot court with full base preparation, dual hoops, and complete line marking for HOA or commercial sites.
Site grading, sub-base compaction, and drainage path design to handle Central Texas clay soil and seasonal moisture movement.
Concrete or asphalt base topped with poured acrylic color coat or modular sport tiles, chosen for the site’s UV and heat exposure.
Regulation painted court lines, hoop mounting, and optional perimeter fencing completed before the final walkthrough.
Stable, long-lasting base suited to permanent courts.
Cost-effective base option for larger footprints.
Snap-together surface with built-in drainage channels.
Poured finish with UV-stable pigment and texture.
In-ground or surface-mount hoop anchoring.
Painted three-point arc, key, and boundary lines.
Why Us
Every project is scoped on-site, estimated in writing, and signed off with a walkthrough, so nothing is left to assumption.
Every enquiry starts with a site visit to assess slope, drainage, and soil before a single number is written down.
Base prep, surfacing, line marking, and hoop mounting each appear as separate line items, no bundled totals that hide where the money goes.
The job is not considered complete until a walkthrough confirms every element matches the agreed scope and finish standard.
The same scoping process applies whether the project is a backyard half-court or a full HOA or commercial facility build.
Worn or cracked courts can be assessed and resurfaced, so an existing slab does not automatically mean starting from scratch.
Projects are taken across Austin, West Lake Hills, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Round Rock.
The Process
01
Share your site location and court goals, and we arrange an on-site visit to assess slope, drainage, and available footprint.
02
You receive a written estimate with base prep, surfacing, lines, and hoops listed separately so every cost is visible before you commit.
03
The court is built to the agreed scope, and a final walkthrough confirms every element is complete before the job is signed off.
