What Homeowners Say
My experiences in working with David have been great! He continues to over deliver on the projects we’ve worked together on. Highly recommend using him for any Pickle Ball or Sport Court projects!

Frequently Asked Questions About Court Pricing
How much does it cost to build a backyard pickleball court in Houston?
Backyard pickleball courts in Houston can range anywhere from $24,000 to $60,000, depending on the contractor, surface system, site conditions, and added features like lighting or fencing.
With Lone Star Court Builders, most backyard pickleball courts typically fall between $27,000 and $32,000. We’re able to stay competitive because we source materials directly from manufacturers, avoid middlemen, and operate as a family-owned local business, not a national franchise with high overhead.
Your final investment will depend on court size, material selection, grading requirements, and any customizations you choose.
What is the difference between the Color Play, Active Family, Tournament, and Cushion court options?
The main differences are in surface performance, durability, and comfort, with pricing starting at $24,500 and increasing based on the system. Color Play uses colored concrete, Active Family includes a Professional Acrylic coating system, Tournament uses a Pro-Level Multi-Layer Acrylic Court System for competitive play, and Cushion includes a multi-layer cushioned system for comfort and shock absorption.
How long does it take to build a backyard sport court in Houston?
Most backyard sport courts take about 1 to 4 weeks depending on time of year and production schedule. Concrete scheduling usually takes two weeks, followed by a 30-day cure period, and coatings require 4–5 dry days above 50°, which can shift timelines during Houston’s wet and winter months.
Do weather conditions affect sport court installation in Houston?
Yes, Houston weather can affect sport court installation, especially during colder or rainy months. Surfacing and coatings require several dry days with appropriate temperatures, but weather delays do not change your contracted price, and we update you proactively throughout the process.
Do I need a plat or survey before getting a sport court estimate?
No, you can request a sport court estimate without a plat or survey.
We guide you through plats, easements, HOA requirements, and any documentation needed after we evaluate your yard.
Can you build a sport court on an uneven or sloped backyard?
Yes, with proper site prep and installation, Lone Star Court Builders can build sport courts on uneven or sloped Houston yards.
What is the best sport court surface for Houston weather?
The Multi-Layer Acrylic Court System is one of the best surfaces for Houston weather because it performs well in heat, humidity, and UV exposure.
The Professional Acrylic Court System is also strong for everyday recreational use, while Cushion systems provide added comfort for long sessions.
How long will a backyard sport court last in Houston?
A properly installed backyard sport court can last 10–20+ years in Houston’s climate. Longevity depends on the quality of the concrete base, drainage, surface system, and routine maintenance.
Can I add lighting or fencing to my backyard pickleball or basketball court?
Yes, lighting and fencing can be added at any time, though most homeowners include them during construction for simplicity. Lighting typically costs $2,200–$3,900, and fencing starts at $50 per linear foot.
Why are Lone Star Court Builders’ prices lower than other Houston sport court builders?
Can I convert my existing concrete slab into a pickleball or multi-sport court?
In many cases, yes, we can install a pickleball or multi-sport surface on an existing concrete slab if it meets slope, drainage, and structural requirements. We’ll inspect your slab and recommend resurfacing or repair if needed.
