Tennis Court Builder in Utah | {BRAND}
Utah Sport Court Builder builds and surfaces regulation tennis courts across Utah County and Wasatch County. A tennis court is the least forgiving court we build: 60 by 120 feet of dead-flat play area, a true one percent slope end to end, and an acrylic system with the exact sand texture that matches your pace of play.
Every tennis courts project we take on includes the same foundation work: survey and subgrade testing, geotextile separation, compacted aggregate base, reinforced concrete and a surface system matched to your yard. Ask for a free written quote and you will see each of those as a line item.

Court dimensions, orientation and run-off space
Singles play needs 27 by 78 feet of lines, doubles 36 by 78, and a comfortable court sits inside a 60 by 120 foot pad. We orient courts north to south wherever the lot allows so low sun does not sit in a server's eyes, and we hold back-court run-off at 21 feet when space permits.
Post-tensioned slabs and crack control
Tennis courts show every hairline crack, so we favor post-tensioned or heavily reinforced slabs over standard mesh pours. The base is over-excavated, separated with woven geotextile and compacted in lifts, then the slab is screeded to a single plane and cured under control to limit shrinkage.
Acrylic color systems, pace and net hardware
Two to four silica-sand textured color coats set the pace: finer sand for a fast surface, coarser for slower, longer rallies. Cushion layers can be added under the color for joint relief. Net posts are set in deep footings at 42 feet apart, with internal wind reels and a center strap anchor cast into the slab.
Frequently asked questions about tennis courts in Utah
How much space does a tennis court need on a Utah County lot?
Plan on roughly 60 by 120 feet of level ground plus working room. Half-acre and larger lots in Alpine, Highland, Mapleton and Heber City usually fit one, while quarter-acre lots in Orem or Provo are better suited to pickleball or a multi-sport pad.
Does Utah sun and altitude wear a tennis surface faster?
Yes. At 4,500 feet and higher the UV load is stronger than at sea level, so color coats fade sooner. We use UV-stable acrylic systems and a heavier texture, which is why Utah County courts typically resurface on a five to eight year cycle.
How much does it cost to build a tennis court in Utah?
A private tennis court in Utah County generally runs $85,000 to $160,000. Tennis needs the largest pad we build, 60 by 120 feet, plus a post-tensioned or heavily reinforced slab, so material volume drives the price.
What are the dimensions of a tennis court?
Singles lines measure 27 by 78 feet and doubles 36 by 78 feet. A comfortable court sits inside a 60 by 120 foot pad so players get about 21 feet of run-off behind each baseline.
Which way should a tennis court face?
North to south whenever the lot allows. That keeps the low morning and evening sun out of a server's eyes and gives you more usable hours on the court each day.
How long does a tennis court surface last?
Acrylic color coats usually look and play well for five to eight years in Utah sun. After that a resurfacing brings back the color and texture without touching the slab underneath.
Can an old tennis court be converted to pickleball?
Yes. One tennis slab holds up to four pickleball courts. We restripe with contrasting colors, install flush net sleeves or set up portable systems, and can add dividing curtains between courts.
Do you build cushioned tennis courts?
We do. Cushion layers go on between the acrylic resurfacer and the color coats. They soften impact for hips and knees while keeping a true bounce, and they are a common request for players over forty.
