Pickleball Courts
A regulation 20-by-44-foot court that drains correctly, holds its surface, and plays true for years.
What Goes Wrong
Most surface problems trace back to decisions made before the first shovel of concrete is poured.
Loudoun’s clay soil expands and contracts with every freeze-thaw cycle, cracking a slab that lacks adequate compacted aggregate depth.
The on-site evaluation identifies soil type and frost depth so the aggregate base is specified to match actual ground conditions.
A court poured without a measured drainage slope pools water at the baseline, accelerating surface delamination and algae growth.
The slab is formed to a consistent cross-slope so water sheds to the perimeter and never sits on the playing surface.
Acrylic color coat applied without the required cure interval between passes peels within one or two seasons, requiring full resurfacing.
Each acrylic coat is applied in separate passes with the manufacturer’s cure interval observed before the next layer goes down.
Non-volley zone lines placed by eye rather than measured from the net post produce a court that does not meet USA Pickleball dimensions.
All lines, including the NVZ, are measured and marked against USA Pickleball specs and verified at the final walkthrough.
Scope of Work
From excavation to net post, every element of the court is handled in one coordinated project.
Excavation, compacted aggregate base, and a concrete or asphalt slab formed to the correct drainage slope for the site.
Multiple-pass acrylic color coat in your choice of court colors, applied with the required cure interval between each coat.
Full USA Pickleball line layout including baselines, sidelines, centerline, and non-volley zone, measured and painted to spec.
Net post sleeves set in the slab and a regulation net system installed as part of the same project scope.
One 20-by-44-foot court sized for a home lot.
Two or more courts with shared fencing and drainage.
Court fencing and LED lighting in the same estimate.
Why Us
Local site knowledge, a clear written process, and accountability from first visit to final sign-off.
Drainage, soil, and available footage are assessed in person before an estimate is written, so the scope reflects your actual site.
Base preparation, surfacing, fencing, and line marking appear as separate line items so you know exactly what each element costs.
Net posts, fencing, and lighting are scheduled within the same project so sub-contractors do not create gaps in the timeline.
Dimensions, drainage slope, and line positions are checked against USA Pickleball specs before the project is signed off.
Our vetted local partners have worked with the county’s clay-heavy ground and understand the base depths that prevent frost heave.
The Process
01
Submit your site details and we arrange a free on-site visit to assess soil, drainage, and available court footage.
02
You receive an itemised written estimate covering excavation, base, surfacing, line marking, and any fencing or net work.
03
At project completion, dimensions and drainage slope are verified against USA Pickleball specs before the job is signed off.
