Court Installation
A regulation 20-by-44-foot court built to drain, hold its surface, and stay playable through Central Texas summers.
What Goes Wrong
The failure modes are predictable, and each one is avoidable with the right prep sequence.
A base graded below the 1-percent drainage threshold leaves standing water after rain, which softens the acrylic and creates slip hazards.
An on-site level check locks in the correct 1-percent slope before any base work begins, so drainage is built in, not corrected later.
Coating over a cracked or structurally weak slab transfers every fault line to the finished surface within one or two seasons.
A condition inspection checks for structural cracks and low spots before conversion is approved, so the coating goes onto a surface that can hold it.
Central Texas caliche and clay shift seasonally; a base poured without adequate compaction heaves and cracks as the ground moves beneath it.
Sub-base compaction is specified for the actual soil conditions on site, accounting for the seasonal movement common in Central Texas clay and caliche.
Striping applied over an unprepared or dusty surface bonds poorly and fades within months under Austin’s high UV load.
The acrylic color coats are fully cured before regulation lines are applied, giving the striping a clean, bonded surface that holds color through summer heat.
Scope of Work
Each stage is scoped in writing before work starts, so nothing is added as a surprise after the estimate.
Confirms the footprint fits a 30-by-60-foot minimum surface and sets the 1-percent drainage slope before any base work begins.
New concrete slab or asphalt base is specified to the site; existing pads are assessed for conversion to avoid unnecessary demolition.
Two UV-stable acrylic color coats are applied with a full cure interval between each, producing a smooth, consistent playing surface.
Court lines are marked to official pickleball dimensions on the cured acrylic, with kitchen, baseline, and sideline clearly defined.
Posts are set in concrete footings at the correct spacing for a 36-inch net height at the posts and 34 inches at center.
Scoped in the same written estimate when needed.
Existing driveways or pads assessed before new slab is recommended.
Available for worn or cracked existing court surfaces.
HOA, school, and commercial multi-court builds scoped together.
Why Choose Us
Every stage is accountable, from the first slope check to the final walkthrough before sign-off.
The itemised estimate covers base prep, surfacing, striping, fencing, and net posts, no line items added after the fact.
The on-site evaluation confirms slope and drainage before scope is set, so water management is designed in from the start.
Existing pads are inspected before a new slab is recommended, which can reduce both scope and timeline on eligible sites.
The job is not closed until a walkthrough confirms surface, lines, net height, and drainage all meet the agreed specification.
Partners handle backyard courts, HOA facilities, school grounds, and commercial sites across Austin and surrounding areas.
Enquiries are connected to vetted independent local court builders who know Central Texas soil and drainage conditions.
