Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in America, and more homeowners throughout Belton, Temple, Salado, Harker Heights, Killeen, and surrounding Central Texas communities are choosing to install backyard pickleball courts on their property.

Whether you're looking to create a fun space for family and friends or add value to your home, a professionally installed concrete pickleball court can provide years of enjoyment.

What size is a standard pickleball court?

A regulation pickleball court measures 20 feet wide by 44 feet long. However, most residential courts include additional space around the playing area for safety and movement.

A typical backyard pickleball court installation ranges from 30' x 60', 30' x 64', or 34' x 64'. The additional space allows players to move comfortably while enjoying a professional playing experience.

How much does a backyard pickleball court cost?

Several factors affect the total cost of a pickleball court installation, including site preparation, excavation, concrete thickness, reinforcement materials, drainage requirements, court size, surface coatings, fencing, and lighting.

In Central Texas, most homeowners can expect a backyard pickleball court project to range between $15,000 and $50,000+, depending on the level of customization.

The foundation is the most important part of the project. Proper grading, drainage, and concrete installation help prevent cracking, settling, and future maintenance issues.

Can I add a basketball goal too?

Absolutely. Many homeowners choose a multi-purpose court design that combines pickleball, half-court basketball, and a family recreation space.

A dual-purpose court maximizes your investment and creates an outdoor entertainment area that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Does a pickleball court increase home value?

While every property is unique, outdoor recreation spaces continue to be highly desirable among homebuyers.

Benefits may include increased curb appeal, enhanced outdoor living space, family entertainment, reduced maintenance compared to grass areas, and potential resale appeal. Many homeowners view a pickleball court as both a lifestyle upgrade and a long-term property improvement.
