Creating a custom athletic court is an exciting way to enhance your property, whether for private backyard enjoyment, an HOA, or a commercial facility. At Pro Court, we specialize in designing and building high-quality pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts in Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers. Our goal is to transform your outdoor space into a professional-grade recreational area tailored to your needs.
Step 1: Determine the Right Court Size
Every court project begins with proper planning. Court size depends on the type of sport, available space, and intended usage. Typical dimensions include:
- Pickleball Court: 20’ x 44’ for recreational use, with buffer zones for movement.
- Tennis Court: 36’ x 78’ for doubles, including space for sidelines and fencing.
- Basketball Court: 50’ x 84’ for full-size play or adjusted dimensions for residential spaces.
Learn more about sizing options on our Design Your Court page.
Step 2: Choose the Right Court Foundation
The foundation is the most critical part of a court. Pro Court follows strict site preparation standards to ensure longevity and performance:
- Site Preparation: Clearing organic materials, grading for proper drainage, and laying compacted stone.
- Concrete Foundation: Pouring a 4” fiber-infused slab with footers for court hardware. Requires 30 days to cure.
- Asphalt Foundation: Laying a 2” compacted asphalt layer with footings. Requires 15 days to cure.
