Cost Breakdown by Component
Site Preparation & Excavation
$3,000 – $8,000Clearing, grading, and leveling the site. Cost varies significantly based on slope, soil conditions, and access. Flat, clean lots are cheapest. Rocky hillsides cost more.
Base Construction
$5,000 – $12,000The foundation of your court. Options include standard reinforced concrete (4" slab with rebar) or post-tension concrete for superior crack resistance. Post-tension adds $3-5K but is worth it in Utah's climate.
Acrylic Surface Coating
$3,000 – $6,000Professional-grade acrylic sport surface in your choice of colors. Includes multiple coats for durability and proper texture for ball bounce and traction.
Line Painting
$500 – $1,500Regulation pickleball lines in contrasting colors. Multi-sport line layouts (pickleball + tennis combo) cost more due to complexity.
Net System
$300 – $1,200From portable net systems to permanent in-ground posts with tournament-grade nets. We recommend permanent posts for the cleanest look.
Fencing
$2,000 – $8,000Chain-link, vinyl-coated, or premium aluminum fencing. Full perimeter fencing keeps balls contained and adds a polished, finished look.
Court Lighting
$3,000 – $8,000LED pole lights or structure-mounted fixtures. Professional lighting design ensures even coverage without neighbor light spill. Essential for year-round play.
Landscaping
$2,000 – $10,000+Hydrangea borders, hedge screening, stone surrounds, viewing areas. This is what transforms a court from a slab into a showpiece.

Why is there such a wide price range?
Site conditions are the biggest variable. A flat, accessible lot with good soil is the cheapest to build on. Sloped terrain, rocky soil, poor drainage, or limited access for equipment all add cost. After that, your choices on surface quality, fencing, lighting, and landscaping determine where you land.
Is a pickleball court a good investment?
Absolutely. A well-built court adds $15,000–$40,000+ in property value and is one of the most-used backyard amenities you can build. Unlike pools, courts are low-maintenance and usable 8+ months a year in Utah.
How long does construction take?
Most residential courts take 2–4 weeks from groundbreak to play, weather permitting. The concrete base needs 7–10 days to cure before we apply the acrylic surface.
