Question 1

How much does a backyard tennis court cost in your area?

Accepted Answer

Most your area residential tennis builds land between $110k and $185k. Below $100k is hard to do well — tennis sub-base, fencing, and surfacing have real fixed costs. Above $200k buys cushion, lighting, and architectural fencing.

Question 2

Do I have enough yard?

Accepted Answer

You need 65' × 125' cleared, plus access for equipment. That's roughly a quarter acre of usable flat (or flattenable) ground. We'll do a no-cost site walk to tell you honestly whether it fits.

Question 3

Can I add pickleball lines?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and most your area clients do. A tennis court accommodates 2 standard pickleball courts crosswise. We stripe in a secondary color and provide portable net systems. Single-build court that serves two sports.

Question 4

Is cushion worth it?

Accepted Answer

For residential players over 35, yes. Cushioned systems reduce joint impact 15–20%, run cooler in your area summers, and add $20k–$35k to project cost. Most adult-driven households opt in.

Question 5

Will my HOA allow lighting?

Accepted Answer

Many your area-area HOAs allow tennis court lighting with restrictions — full-cutoff fixtures, curfews around 10 PM, no spillover beyond property line. We design to those constraints and document for ARC approval.
