Acrylic Color Coating

UV-stable acrylic applied in multiple layers with correct cure intervals.

Regulation Line Marking

Perimeter Fencing

Vinyl-coated chain link or mesh fencing with gated entry for ball containment.

Why Us

Why Orange County Sports Courts?

One enquiry process, a written scope before anything is booked, and a final walkthrough before the job is signed off, for every court type we handle.

Site Evaluation Before Any Price

Space, slope, and drainage are assessed on-site before a number is put on paper.

Nothing Hidden in the Estimate

Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking appear as separate line items.

One Process for Every Project

Backyard slabs, HOA multi-court facilities, and school grounds all go through the same scoped process.

Resurfacing Scoped Like a New Build

Repair and resurfacing jobs get the same written scope as new construction, no shortcuts.

Final Walkthrough Before Sign-Off

The job is reviewed with the customer before it is closed out, not after the crew has left.

Common Failures

What goes wrong and how a scoped build avoids it

Each failure below comes from a different part of the build, skipping any one stage creates a problem the next stage cannot fix.

Poor Sub-Base Prep

A base laid on uncompacted fill shifts under load, causing surface heave and cracking within a few seasons.

Laser-Graded Compaction

Laser level measurement and crushed stone compaction confirm a stable, tolerance-correct base before any surface is applied.

No Drainage Provision

A court without sized drainage lines holds standing water after rain, keeping the surface out of use and accelerating surface damage.

Site-Specific Drainage

Drainage lines and surface slope are sized to the site during the evaluation, before base or surface work is scoped.

Skipped Surface Check

Applying a new acrylic coat over unrepaired cracks lets moisture work under the coating, causing it to peel and re-crack quickly.

Crack Sealant First

Crack sealant and patch leveling are completed and cured before any acrylic recoat layer is applied to the surface.

Vague Conversion Scope

A tennis-to-pickleball conversion done without a surface condition check can leave net height and line placement errors that require a redo.

Condition Check Before Layout

Surface condition, net post sleeve fit, and regulation pickleball dimensions are all confirmed in writing before conversion work begins.

Who We Serve

Backyard owners, HOA boards, and commercial managers

The right scope looks different depending on who owns the site and how the court will be used.

  • Homeowners

    Homeowners who want a backyard court for family use or added property value. We arrange a site evaluation covering yard size, slope, drainage, and permit requirements, then deliver a written estimate for the surface, base, fencing, and lighting that fit the available space.

  • HOA Boards & Community Managers

    HOA boards and community managers responsible for shared court facilities used by multiple residents. We scope new builds and resurfacing projects to meet HOA design review standards, covering base condition, multi-use striping, perimeter fencing, and drainage in a single itemised estimate.

  • Commercial Property Developers & Managers

    Commercial developers and property managers adding or restoring courts at apartment complexes, hotels, or recreation facilities. We handle heavy-use court builds and resurfacing with a written scope that covers base assessment, acrylic surfacing, lighting, and city design review requirements.

Common Questions

Questions about getting a court built or restored

  • How do I know if my court needs repair or full resurfacing?

    Small cracks, worn lines, and light surface damage usually point to repair work. Widespread fading, rough texture loss, repeated cracking, or multiple low spots typically mean full resurfacing. Applying a new coat over an unstable surface causes it to delaminate quickly, so a surface walk-through determines the right sequence first.

  • Do I need a permit to build a sports court in my backyard?

    Often yes, depending on local rules and the scope of the project. A simple surface may be treated differently from a build involving concrete work, grading, or added structures. The on-site evaluation factors in permit requirements before any written scope is produced, so nothing is booked without that step completed.

  • What is included in a commercial or HOA court project?

    A project can include site prep, base work, surfacing, crack repair, striping, fencing, and drainage work. Each line item is listed separately in the written estimate so you can see exactly what each stage covers and costs, whether the court is being built from scratch or restored.

  • Do I need both lighting and fencing for a sports court?

    Not always, but they solve different problems. Lighting extends usable hours after dark; fencing keeps balls on the court and protects neighboring areas. Fixture aiming, fence height, and gate placement are planned together in one scope so coverage, containment, and HOA appearance standards are all addressed at the same time.

  • What happens if I delay fixing cracks or drainage problems on an existing court?

    Water enters existing cracks, expands the damage, and undermines the sub-base. Low spots that hold water accelerate acrylic coating failure. A court that needs spot repair today can require full resurfacing or base reconstruction within one or two seasons if the underlying issues are not addressed.
