A backyard court needs more than a playing surface. The available space, access, grading, drainage, surrounding structures, and how you plan to use the court all affect the final design.
We assess the property first, then plan a practical court layout that fits the yard and connects naturally with the rest of the outdoor space. Whether you want a dedicated pickleball court, a tennis court, or a flexible recreation area, we can help take the project from site preparation through construction.
From the ground beneath the court to the surrounding landscape, we can coordinate the elements needed to create a functional, finished outdoor recreation space.
Dedicated backyard pickleball courts planned around your available space, preferred layout, and how often the court will be used.
Residential tennis courts built with careful attention to site preparation, drainage, base construction, and the selected playing surface.
Flexible outdoor courts designed to support more than one activity when the available space needs to serve the whole family.
Site preparation and concrete work completed to create a stable, practical foundation for the finished court.
Turf options for suitable court, recreation, and surrounding areas, selected around the intended use and property conditions.
Hardscape, planting, irrigation installation, retaining walls, drainage, and other improvements can be coordinated to make the court feel like part of the complete backyard.
The long-term performance of a backyard court depends on what happens before the finished surface is installed.
We review the usable area, access, existing grade, nearby structures, and the way the court should fit into the yard.
The site is cleared and prepared for the planned court base, with the project scope matched to the property conditions.
Water movement and drainage are considered early to help protect the court and surrounding landscape.
The base and selected playing surface are installed for the planned use, finish, and project scope.
A court should not look like it was dropped into the middle of the property. Jakes Landscape & Construction can coordinate the court with the rest of the outdoor space, including patios, walkways, retaining walls, fencing, planting, turf, and irrigation installation.
Keeping the work with one experienced team creates a clearer plan, fewer handoffs, and a more cohesive result from the court to the surrounding landscape.
We plan with construction in mind, so the proposed court works for the property as well as the homeowner’s goals.
Work is handled by an experienced local contractor. CSLB #1070714.
Where the project requires permits, we can help coordinate the appropriate process as part of the approved scope.
You receive straightforward guidance about the scope, site conditions, budget, and next steps before construction begins.
