How Much Does It Cost to Build a Pickleball Court in My Backyard?

Thinking of adding a pickleball or game court to your backyard? The #1 question that comes with that is: “How much does it cost to build a pickleball court in my backyard?”

For a relatively straightforward site, a professionally built pickleball court typically starts $35,000 with Brady Brown Construction.

But not all courts are created equal; quality matters, and each home and homeowner is unique.

That base price gets you a solid, long-term court — not just a concrete slab with some paint on it. Our typical build includes:

• Site preparation and grading
• 6-inch, 4,000 PSI post-tension concrete slab
• Vapor barrier
• Professional acrylic court surfacing and striping
• Net and posts

What Can Make the Price Go Up?

Every property is different. A flat, easily accessible backyard is going to be less complicated than a property with a significant slope, difficult access, drainage issues, or extensive grading.

You can also add features such as fencing, lighting, basketball hoops, windscreens, or other court equipment, which will increase the overall cost.

So while $35,000 is a good starting point for a quality backyard pickleball court, the final price depends on your property and what you want to include.

At Brady Brown Construction, our goal is to build a court that’s solid from the ground up and designed to give you years of play.
