Sport Court Builder in Orem Utah
Utah Sport Court Builder is a sport court builder in Orem, Utah that designs, installs and resurfaces pickleball courts, basketball courts and multi-sport backyard courts for homes and businesses. Our team builds backyard courts across Orem, from the Northgate and Sharon Park neighborhoods to the quiet cul-de-sacs above 800 North. Orem is one of our busiest cities because so many homes here have wide, flat lots that were made for a court.
Our Orem 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 Orem: yards, soil and access
Most Orem yards were graded in the 1970s and 1980s with generous side yards and a gentle fall toward the street. That shape saves you money. When a yard already drains the right direction, we can pour a slab with less excavation and less hauling, and the savings show up in the quote instead of in the dumpster bill.
Pickleball is the number one request we get in Orem, and it is easy to see why. The courts at Nielsen's Grove and the city parks near Center Street stay packed through the summer. Families get tired of waiting for an open net, so they call us. A private court at home means play at 6 a.m. before work or after dinner when the public courts are full, and no one has to load the van.
Weather, drainage and long-term wear in Orem
Soil here is mostly a sandy loam over lake-bed clay. Clay swells when it takes on water, so we over-excavate, install woven geotextile fabric, then place and compact granular base in lifts. We test compaction before any concrete arrives. Skipping this step is the single most common reason older Orem courts crack near the sideline within a few winters.
Permits, scheduling and getting to your street
Access is usually simple. Wide streets around State Street and 1600 North let a pump truck and a skid steer work without tearing up your park strip. We lay plywood over driveways and lawn crossings, keep a tidy site, and haul spoils daily so your driveway is usable at night. Orem City reviews fence height and lighting, and we pull those permits for you.

Sport court FAQs for Orem homeowners
What is the biggest site challenge on an Orem lot?
Space. Many Orem yards near Cherry Hill and Northridge run long and narrow, so we stake the pad on the ground first and often rotate the court a few degrees to keep run-off room behind the baselines.
Does Orem require a permit for court lighting?
Lighting usually needs an electrical permit and has to keep spill on your own property. We use shielded, downward-aimed LED optics on a timer, which is what Orem inspectors want to see near close neighbors.
How much does a pickleball court cost in Orem?
Orem pickleball courts often land between $35,000 and $65,000. Many Orem yards already drain toward the street, so less excavation and hauling is needed and that saving shows up in the quote.
Why do so many Orem homeowners build private pickleball courts?
The public nets near Center Street and Nielsen's Grove stay packed all summer. A court at home means play before work or after dinner without loading the van or waiting for an open court.
Will Orem clay soil crack my court?
Not with proper prep. Orem sits on sandy loam over lake-bed clay, so we over-excavate, lay woven geotextile fabric, compact base in lifts, and test compaction before any concrete arrives.
Can an old RV pad or tennis slab be converted in Orem?
Often yes. If the concrete is stable and drains, we repair, level and coat it, then stripe it for pickleball or basketball for far less than a full rebuild.
