Residential Courts
A flat, multi-sport surface your family can actually use, sized to fit the yard you have.
What Goes Wrong
Cutting corners on base prep and layout planning are the two most common reasons backyard courts underperform.
Installing tiles over ungraded ground causes water to pool under the surface, lifting panels and creating uneven play areas within a season.
A yard slope assessment determines where drainage layer material goes so water moves away from the surface, not under it.
Planning only for the game surface and ignoring the safe buffer zone around it leaves a court too cramped for real play.
The builder maps the usable yard footprint first, including perimeter clearance, before any court size or surface is chosen.
Tiles laid over soft or uneven ground shift over time, creating gaps at panel joints that catch feet and accelerate surface wear.
Surface leveling and base prep are completed before any tile goes down, giving the interlocking panels a stable, consistent foundation.
Courts marked for one game only waste space in yards that could support basketball and pickleball on the same surface.
Sport-specific line layouts for basketball and pickleball are planned together so both fit the chosen dimensions without overlap confusion.
Scope of Work
From the first slope check to the final line marking, here is what the job includes.
The builder measures the yard and maps a court footprint that fits the space, including safe buffer zones around the playing surface.
Surface leveling and drainage layer placement ensure tiles sit flat and water drains away rather than pooling beneath the panels.
Modular sport court tiles are locked together over the prepared base, with edge pieces and border trim securing the perimeter.
Basketball, pickleball, or shared-line layouts are applied once the surface is confirmed, sized to the court dimensions chosen.
In-ground or surface-mount hoop installation is coordinated alongside the court build so placement aligns with the finished layout.
Fits compact yards from roughly 30 by 25 feet.
Standard 30-by-60-foot footprint with regulation lines.
Shared-line marking on one modular surface.
Worn or warped tile surfaces replaced or reset.
Why Choose Us
Accountability at every stage, from the first site visit to the final sign-off.
Every enquiry starts with a builder visiting the yard to assess ground conditions and drainage before any scope is agreed.
Base prep, surfacing, and line marking are quoted as separate line items so you see exactly what each part of the job costs.
Our partners work across Charlotte suburban neighborhoods where lot sizes and soil conditions vary from street to street.
If an existing surface has warped or worn tiles, the same partners handle repair and resurfacing, not just new installs.
The builder walks the finished court with you before the job is signed off, so any issue is caught on the day, not weeks later.
