Sport Court Builder in Highland Utah
Utah Sport Court Builder is a sport court builder in Highland, Utah that designs, installs and resurfaces pickleball courts, basketball courts and multi-sport backyard courts for homes and businesses. Our team installs sport courts across Highland, from the wide lots near Highland Glen Park to the newer streets off Alpine Highway and 11000 North.
Our Highland work covers the whole build: elevation survey, subgrade testing, geotextile separation, compacted aggregate base, reinforced or post-tensioned slab, then cushioned acrylic or modular polypropylene tile with laser-set striping.

Building courts in Highland: yards, soil and access
Highland was platted with generous parcels, and that shows up in the courts we build here. Half-acre and larger yards let us set a court far enough from the house that noise and lighting never bother a bedroom window. It also means we can orient the pad for play instead of squeezing it against a property line. Most Highland courts end up running north to south, which keeps low sun out of a server's eyes.
Under the sod, much of Highland is a gravel and sand mix over deeper clay lenses. The upper material compacts well. The clay does not, and it swells when it takes on water. We probe to find where one ends and the other begins, then over-excavate to a depth that puts the slab on stable ground with woven geotextile separating the layers. Compaction gets tested before any concrete is ordered.
Weather, drainage and long-term wear in Highland
Irrigation is the quiet issue on Highland lots. Many properties still carry pressurized secondary lines and old flood-irrigation ditches from farm days. Those pipes love to run right where a court wants to go. We locate and reroute them during layout, and we tie court drainage away from the lines so a future leak never undermines the base.
Permits, scheduling and getting to your street
Families here often want one pad that covers several sports, because the kids play everything. A 34 by 64 foot multi-sport court holds pickleball, a basketball key, and volleyball on cast-in sleeves without feeling crowded. We add conduit for lighting during the base stage even when lights come later, since trenching a finished court is money wasted. Highland City permits tall fencing and pole lighting, and we handle that paperwork for you.

Sport court FAQs for Highland homeowners
What court size fits a typical Highland lot?
Highland's half-acre and larger lots off Alpine Highway commonly hold a 34 by 64 multi-sport pad, and some fit a full tennis footprint. We stake options in your yard so you can walk them before deciding.
Does Highland limit fence height around a court?
Fencing is reviewed against accessory-structure rules, and ten-foot court fence often needs specific approval. We submit the plan with the fence detail rather than building first and asking later.
How much does a backyard court cost in Highland, Utah?
Highland courts typically fall between $35,000 and $80,000. Larger lots let us build full-size pads, and the base and slab remain the biggest cost items on every quote.
What size court fits a Highland backyard?
Most Highland lots hold a full 30 by 60 foot pickleball pad or a 34 by 64 multi-sport court with room for safe run-off on all sides.
Will my secondary irrigation line be a problem?
Only if it is ignored. We locate pressurized secondary lines and old flood ditches during layout, reroute what sits under the court, and drain away from them.
Can I add lights later?
Yes, if conduit goes in during base work. We trench conduit and cast net sleeves on every Highland build so lighting and nets can be added without cutting the finished slab.
How do you keep a Highland court from cracking?
We probe to find where gravel gives way to clay, over-excavate, separate layers with woven geotextile, compact base in lifts, and test compaction before ordering concrete.
