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

A half-court plays well at about 30 by 50 feet; a regulation full court needs 50 by 94 plus run-off. Most Phoenix backyards land on a half-court or a 30 by 60 multi-line pad. We measure your lot and lay out the options before you commit to anything.

Can you resurface my existing basketball pad?

Usually, yes. If the concrete is structurally sound and drains properly, we clean it, patch the cracks and apply Laykold acrylic over the top. It costs far less than removing and repouring.

Does the surface get too hot to play on?

Laykold uses heat-reflective pigments that measurably lower surface temperature compared with standard acrylic. It is still Arizona in July, but the difference is real and you feel it through your shoes.

What does a backyard basketball court cost?

It depends on slab type, court size and how easily equipment reaches your yard. Our instant estimator gives you a preliminary range in about a minute, and the on-site verification that follows is free.

What goes into a basketball court that lasts

A backyard court is only as good as what is under it. We handle the whole build, from the dirt up, and put the surface down ourselves.

1
Site prep & grading: Precision excavation and grading for proper water runoff and a level playing surface, even on a sloped Phoenix lot.
2
Concrete slab: Post-tensioned slabs are the gold standard for expansive desert soil; a rebar or wire-mesh reinforced pour is a solid lower-cost alternative. Either way it is poured to Laykold manufacturer specification.
3
Hoop, fencing & lighting: Footed hoop systems, professional-grade enclosures and LED lighting integrated cleanly into the finished court.
4
Surfacing & striping: Applied by our own crew as an authorized Laykold installer — the part we never subcontract.

Already have a slab? Paint over it.

An old tennis court, a cracked sport pad, or a slab of unused RV parking is often most of a basketball court already. If the concrete is sound and drains properly, we clean it, repair it and surface it.

Converting costs a fraction of tearing out and repouring — and it is the single fastest way to get a playable court.
