What Goes Wrong & Why

The difference between a court that lasts and one that needs rework

Most court failures trace back to skipped steps at the base and drainage stage, not the surface.

Unprepared Clay Base

Atlanta’s red clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, shifting a base that was not graded and compacted for those conditions.

Site-Specific Base Prep

The on-site evaluation checks soil type, drainage path, and grade so the base spec matches what your site actually needs.

Drainage Skipped

A court built without a planned drainage slope holds standing water after rain, which accelerates surface cracking and creates a slip hazard.

Drainage Designed at Base Stage

Slope and drainage are engineered into the base construction phase, not patched onto the surface after the fact.

Lump-Sum Quotes

A single-figure quote hides what site prep, leveling, and permitting actually cost, surprises show up on the invoice, not the estimate.

Line-Item Proposal

Your written proposal separates base, coating, fencing, and lighting so every cost is visible before you agree to anything.

Wrong Footprint Assumed

A court planned without measuring setbacks and run-off can end up too tight to play safely, even if the raw lot dimensions looked adequate.

Footprint Confirmed On-Site

The free evaluation measures available space against the 34 ft x 64 ft play area plus run-off before any design is drawn up.

Who We Serve

Atlanta homeowners, HOAs, and commercial property owners

Whether you have a backyard lot or a multi-court facility in mind, the process starts the same way, a free site evaluation and a written proposal.

  • Homeowners

    Atlanta homeowners who want a backyard court but are unsure whether their lot is large enough or how to budget the project. We arrange a free on-site evaluation that measures the available footprint against the 34 ft x 64 ft play area plus run-off, and delivers a written proposal with every cost itemised.

  • HOA & Community Boards

    HOA and community boards across metro Atlanta evaluating unused flat areas or idle tennis courts for conversion to pickleball. We connect boards with vetted local partners who scope the full project, base, surfacing, fencing, and lighting, as separate line items so the board can present a clear budget to residents.

  • Commercial Property Developers & Managers

    Commercial developers and property managers adding pickleball courts as a tenant amenity or recreational facility. We arrange site evaluations that account for multi-court layouts, drainage requirements, and LED lighting, with each component priced separately in the written proposal.

  • Facility Managers

    Facility managers overseeing existing courts that need resurfacing, conversion, or lighting upgrades to stay in service. We arrange an on-site inspection that assesses surface condition and drainage before any scope is written, so the proposal covers what the court actually needs.

The Full Build Process

What a complete pickleball court installation involves

Each phase builds on the last, skipping or rushing any one of them is where courts fail.

The process starts with a site survey and utility locate. The installer measures the available footprint against the 34 ft x 64 ft play area plus run-off, checks the existing surface or soil, identifies drainage paths, and flags any tree roots or grade changes that will affect the base. In Atlanta, red clay soil and uneven lots are common, catching those conditions at this stage prevents costly corrections later. Once the site is understood, excavation and grading bring the sub-base to the correct level and slope, typically a 1 percent cross-slope to shed water away from the court surface.

Base construction is where the long-term performance of the court is decided. Concrete and asphalt are both viable options, and the right choice depends on your site conditions, budget, and intended use. Concrete is rigid and resists surface movement, but requires control joints and careful curing. Asphalt is more flexible and generally faster to install, but needs a well-compacted sub-base to prevent rutting. Both options are priced separately in your written proposal so you can compare them directly. Once the base is cured, acrylic colour coating is applied in multiple passes by squeegee, coating thickness and UV resistance matter in Atlanta’s warm, humid climate, where surface wear accelerates faster than in cooler regions.

The final phase covers line marking, net and post installation, and optional accessories. Regulation striping includes the non-volley zone, service boxes, centerline, and baselines, all applied to the cured acrylic surface. Net posts are anchored in concrete footings at the correct center-court position. Perimeter fencing uses galvanized steel posts set in concrete footings with chain link mesh stretched to tension, and gate hardware fitted for single or double access. LED court lighting, where included, covers pole foundations, underground conduit, fixture mounting, and a post-install light level check across the full court surface. The installer walks the finished court with you before sign-off so you can confirm every element before the project closes.

Common Questions

Questions about pickleball court installation in Atlanta

How much does it cost to install a pickleball court?

Most pickleball court installations in the Atlanta area come in at $18,000-$45,000, depending on site conditions, surface type, and whether fencing or lighting is added. A free on-site evaluation gives you a written, itemised quote before any work is booked.

How much space do I need for a backyard pickleball court?

A regulation pickleball court is 20 by 44 feet, but you need a minimum of 30 by 60 feet to include safe out-of-bounds run-off on all sides. A free on-site evaluation confirms whether your yard can fit that footprint before any commitment is made.

Can a small yard still work for a pickleball court?

Yes, if the usable flat area is at least 30 by 60 feet after accounting for fences, trees, and structures. Yards that fall short of that can sometimes use modular tile on a reduced footprint for casual play. A site visit confirms what your specific lot can support.

Will my lot fit a court and still meet setbacks?

Setback requirements vary by municipality and zoning district, so the answer depends on your specific parcel. The free on-site evaluation reviews your available footprint against local setback rules before a proposal is written, so you know what is buildable.

Does a pickleball court need special drainage or base work?

Yes. A properly compacted aggregate base with a slight cross-slope, typically 1 percent, lets water sheet off the surface rather than pool. Without that base work, the surface will crack and delaminate over time. Base preparation is priced as its own line item in every quote.

What site work is needed before the court can be built?

The area is cleared of vegetation, graded to a consistent slope, and compacted before any base material goes down. If underground utilities or tree roots are present, those are addressed at this stage. The on-site evaluation identifies all required prep work upfront.

Is a temporary net enough, or do I need a full court build?

A portable net on an existing hard surface works for casual play, but an uneven or cracked surface causes bad bounces and increases injury risk. A built court with a compacted base and acrylic surfacing gives consistent play and holds up to regular use without resetting before every session.

Are you licensed and insured for this kind of work?

Our partners are vetted independent local contractors. Licensing and insurance requirements vary by Georgia county, so confirm the specific credentials with the partner assigned to your project during the free on-site evaluation before signing anything.
