One Surface, Every Sport
Basketball, pickleball, and tennis on one surface, every line set readable, every zone draining cleanly.
What Goes Wrong
Most multi-sport problems trace back to decisions that were skipped or deferred during the design phase.
When color assignments are chosen on paint day, two sports often share a similar hue and boundaries blur mid-game.
Each sport’s line color is confirmed in the written scope before the acrylic coating phase begins, not after.
A slope set for one sport’s footprint can leave standing water in the zones where a second sport is played.
The on-site evaluation maps the natural grade and sets a drainage slope that serves every play zone equally.
Compaction that varies across the slab causes differential settling, which cracks the surface within a few seasons.
Sub-base compaction is carried out to a consistent standard across the entire slab, not just the primary sport zone.
A lump-sum quote hides what each sport’s line set actually adds, making scope changes impossible to price fairly.
The written estimate lists each sport’s line marking as a separate cost so every configuration is priced transparently.
Court Configurations
Each configuration is designed during the planning phase so line overlays, colors, and drainage are resolved before any concrete is poured.
A half or full basketball court with pickleball lines overlaid in a contrasting color, sized for residential or HOA lots.
A regulation tennis court with two or four pickleball courts marked inside it, each in a distinct line color.
Basketball, pickleball, and tennis lines on one poured surface with a color-coded scheme confirmed before the acrylic coat.
Existing slabs recoated with fresh acrylic and new regulation line sets added or corrected for multi-sport use.
Compact layouts scaled to residential lot dimensions.
Multi-court layouts for shared residential facilities.
Larger footprints with fencing and lighting scoped in.
Why Choose Us
Every step from site visit to final sign-off is structured so nothing is left to a day-of decision.
An on-site drainage and grade check happens before the estimate is written, so the quote reflects the actual site.
Color assignments, line sets, and drainage targets are written into the scope before the acrylic coat is scheduled.
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and each sport’s line marking appear as separate line items in the estimate.
We take on residential lots, HOA facilities, and school sites across Chesterfield, Henrico, and Goochland.
The job closes only after every line set, color, and drainage zone is checked against the original written scope.
The Process
A site visit maps the grade, checks drainage, and confirms the footprint before any scope is written.
The itemised estimate lists base prep, surfacing, and each sport’s line color so every cost is visible before work starts.
The slab is poured, acrylic-coated, and line-marked, then every zone is checked at the final walkthrough before sign-off.
Pricing Estimates
| Job | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Small backyard multi-sport court | $6,200-$19,000 |
| Standard backyard multi-sport court | $20,000-$35,000 |
| Expanded multi-sport court with extras | $35,000-$70,000 |
Common Questions
Two or three sports work well on a single slab when the color plan is set during design. Basketball, pickleball, and tennis are the most common combination. Adding a fourth sport risks line overlap that no color scheme can fully resolve, so we discuss the trade-offs before the scope is finalised.
Skipping the grade assessment before pouring means the drainage slope is guessed rather than measured. A slope that favors one sport’s zone leaves standing water in another. Correcting drainage after the slab is poured requires cutting and re-grading, which costs significantly more than getting it right the first time.
Yes. If the slab is structurally sound, we arrange resurfacing with a fresh acrylic coat and add the new sport’s regulation line set in a contrasting color. The on-site evaluation checks the existing surface for cracks or drainage issues that need addressing before the new coat is applied.
Color assignments are confirmed in the written scope before the acrylic coating phase. Typically, one sport uses white, one uses yellow, and a third uses a contrasting color such as blue or red. The goal is that each sport’s boundary reads clearly from the playing position, not just from above.
Permit requirements depend on the court’s size, any fencing height, and whether lighting is added. Henrico and Chesterfield counties each have their own thresholds. The on-site evaluation includes a review of what permits apply to your specific lot and configuration before any work is scoped.
Acrylic coatings typically need 24 to 48 hours to cure before light foot traffic and 72 hours before play. The final walkthrough is scheduled after the full cure interval so line opacity and surface drainage are checked under real conditions, not immediately after the last coat is applied.
Share the location and intended use, and we’ll arrange an on-site evaluation with a written estimate covering every cost category.
