A Court for Each Sport

‍

Basketball courts are often the stars of backyard sport courts and choosing durable materials like asphalt or acrylic can ensure longevity while delivering excellent ball bounce. Additionally, the smooth finish allows for controlled gameplay and accommodates everything from casual shooting to competitive matches.  

‍

For tennis enthusiasts, constructing a tennis court involves using cushioned surfaces that provide flexibility and grip with materials like artificial grass or rubber being great options, allowing for a professional feel right at home.  

‍

Soccer courts can be molded from various surfaces, including turf and grass options. For those envisioning summer soccer matches, synthetic turf provides year-round usability, regardless of weather conditions, making it perfect for any aspiring soccer star.

‍

Other Sports to Consider

‍

Perhaps you're looking for something unique like a bocce ball or beach volleyball court.

‍

Bocce ball has seen a meteoric rise in popularity within the Carolinas because it can be played by everyone regardless of age; having a bocce ball court right in your backyard offers a fun and engaging twist for family and friends to enjoy leisurely afternoons outside.  

‍

A beach volleyball court brings a slice of sand and sun to your backyard, creating an arena for high-energy games making every weekend feel like a beach vacation.  

‍

If you're searching for something that’s been rapidly growing in popularity, consider a pickleball court because it combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, delivering rapid-paced fun for all ages. Installing the right surface that allows for swift movements will keep everyone entertained and engaged.  

‍

Multi-Sport Game Court

‍

For families with varied interests, a multi-sport game court could be the answer.  

‍

Designing a single court that accommodates basketball, tennis, and even volleyball means fewer boundaries and endless possibilities.  This way your backyard sport court can be versatile, allowing for diverse activities without sacrificing space.  

‍

Consider configuring your multi-sport court with colorful lines for different games.  

Using different color surfaces makes it visually appealing while also easy to navigate during fast-paced games.  

‍

Every member of your family can have their interests catered to, turning your backyard into an active heaven.  

‍

Custom Putting Greens

‍

Golf lovers rejoice!  

‍

Custom putting greens offer a unique opportunity to improve your golf game in the comfort of your backyard.  With synthetic grass that mimics the feeling of a real course, you can enjoy a round of practice with friends or family in a relaxed atmosphere.  

‍

Custom greens can also include features such as undulations and varying distances, giving you a professional edge without visiting the golf course.
