Sport Court Builder in Lehi Utah
Utah Sport Court Builder is a sport court builder in Lehi, Utah that designs, installs and resurfaces pickleball courts, basketball courts and multi-sport backyard courts for homes and businesses. Our team installs sport courts throughout Lehi, from the newer rooftops in Traverse Mountain to the established streets near Lehi Main Street and the older orchards on the west side.
Our Lehi 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 Lehi: yards, soil and access
Lehi grew fast, and that changes how we build. Homes in newer subdivisions often sit on engineered fill placed during development. Fill can settle unevenly, so we probe the pad, check the depth of loose material, and design the base for the ground we actually find. On a hillside lot in Traverse Mountain, that may mean deeper footings on the downhill side and a short block wall to hold the pad square.
Yard sizes near Thanksgiving Point and the Silicon Slopes corridor tend to be modest, and side setbacks are tight. We solve that with layout. A 30 by 50 foot pad can hold a pickleball court with a basketball key painted at one end, using dual-color striping so the lines never confuse players. Where a fence would crowd the neighbor, we run a lower rear fence with a taller net panel behind the baseline only.
Weather, drainage and long-term wear in Lehi
West Lehi ground near the Jordan River can be wet in spring. There we raise the pad slightly above the surrounding grade, add a perimeter drain tied to daylight, and slope the surface a true one percent so meltwater sheets off instead of ponding at the net line. Water sitting on acrylic is what makes a court slick and short-lived.
Permits, scheduling and getting to your street
Because so many Lehi families both work and commute, we keep scheduling flexible. We can pour early, finish late, and text photo updates so you can follow the build from your desk. Lehi City permits fencing over six feet and any pole lighting, and we submit the plan set and site drawing on your behalf.

Sport court FAQs for Lehi homeowners
How do new Lehi subdivisions affect court construction?
Fresh subdivisions around Traverse Mountain and Thanksgiving Point often sit on engineered fill that has not fully settled. We probe the pad area and compact in tested lifts so the slab is not riding on loose backfill.
Will my Lehi HOA allow a backyard court?
Most do with an approved plan. Lehi boards focus on fence height, court color and light spill, so we hand you a site plan and color and fixture selections in the format the architectural committee expects.
How much does a backyard court cost in Lehi?
Expect $35,000 to $80,000 in Lehi. Traverse Mountain hillside lots need deeper footings and sometimes a block wall, while flatter lots near Lehi Main Street usually price lower.
Does engineered fill in new Lehi subdivisions cause problems?
It can settle unevenly, so we probe the pad, measure how deep the loose material goes, and design the base for the ground we actually find rather than assuming.
Can a court fit in a small Lehi yard near Thanksgiving Point?
Usually. A 30 by 50 foot pad holds pickleball with a basketball key at one end, using dual-color striping so lines stay easy to read even in tight side yards.
Is west Lehi ground too wet for a court?
No, it just needs planning. Near the Jordan River we raise the pad slightly above grade, add a perimeter drain to daylight, and hold a true one percent slope so meltwater sheets off.
