Choose a game and the court changes shape.

Court type

Quality first. Speed follows.

A court is only as good as the slab under it. Ours comes from Williams Concrete, the family company of co-founder Rick Williams.

  • We pour our own concrete, so we control the schedule.
  • We know the slab: subgrade, mix, flatness, drainage.
  • One team, start to finish.

In partnership with

  • Williams Concrete: 79 years, three generations
  • Superior Decorative

Built to ASBA and USTA specs.

Built from the slab up.

The slab is the concrete under the court. If it isn’t right, the court holds water and the lines peel.

  1. Vapor barrier

    A 15-mil plastic sheet under the slab keeps ground moisture out.

  2. Slab with 1% fall

    Rain runs off both ways and never sits on the court.

  3. Cure

    New concrete cures about 28 days before any color goes on.

  4. Broom finish, acid etch and flood test

    Broom for grip, etch for bond, a flood test for puddles.

  5. Primer and resurfacer

    Primer, then a resurfacer that evens out the surface.

  6. Two color coats

    Two coats of acrylic color in the colors you picked.

  7. Lines

    Lines are taped, primed and painted so the edges stay crisp.

A court can look good until you look underneath. That won’t happen with us.

Things to know before you build.

  • Space

    Pickleball takes 60 × 30 ft in all, room around the lines included. Add basketball and we recommend 60 × 40 ft.

  • Elevation and drainage

    High and low spots in your yard decide where water goes. Every court is built with a fall, so it runs off.

  • Use

    The games you play decide the size. More than one game takes more room; the designer shows how it fits.

Your colors. Your court.

A pool gets used three or four months a year in Dallas. A court gets used all year.
