Backyard Courts
From raw ground to a playable, properly drained court built to your yard dimensions.
What Goes Wrong
Caliche hardpan left unaddressed causes uneven settling and drainage failure within the first season.
The builder maps soil conditions before choosing base depth, so drainage is routed correctly from the start.
Bare asphalt under Arizona’s UV load becomes brittle and surface-cracks faster than a concrete slab alternative.
Concrete handles thermal cycling without the brittleness asphalt develops under sustained desert heat and UV.
Post-pour anchor bolts create weak points; the anchor sleeve must be set during the slab pour to hold regulation loads.
The hoop anchor sleeve is cast into the slab before it cures, giving a structurally sound mount from day one.
Standard acrylic paint fades and chalks within two seasons under Arizona’s intense sun, leaving lines unreadable.
UV-stable acrylic coating is applied in multiple layers and fully cured before line striping begins.
Scope of Work
Each element below is itemised separately in the written estimate so you see exactly what each stage costs.
A poured concrete base graded for drainage, sized to your layout, and cured before any surface work begins.
Interlocking polypropylene tiles installed over an existing or new pad, giving a floating surface with consistent bounce.
UV-stable acrylic applied in layers over a concrete base, providing color, grip, and protection against surface wear.
Regulation line markings painted after the coating cures, covering key, three-point arc, free-throw line, and boundary lines.
In-ground hoop anchor set during the slab pour, with the post and backboard mounted once the concrete reaches full cure.
Half-court fits most residential yards; a full-court runs 94x50 feet and suits larger properties or commercial sites.
Surface slope set so water clears after rain.
Hardpan broken out where base depth requires it.
Asphalt base available where site conditions suit it.
Flatness and drainage check before any overlay work.
