Why Build a Backyard Sports Area?
A backyard sports court is more than just a home upgrade—it’s a lifestyle investment. For families, it creates a safe, versatile environment that encourages outdoor play and movement. For children, it’s a space to develop motor skills, coordination, and confidence. And for homeowners, it’s a unique feature that adds long-term value to the property.
As screen time continues to rise, having a dedicated space that promotes fitness, play and social interaction is more important than ever. A sports court gives kids the freedom to run, jump and shoot hoops just metres from the back door. It’s an easy way to reduce sedentary behaviour while building healthy habits that last into adulthood.
It’s also an opportunity to bring family and friends together. Whether it’s a casual game of basketball, a competitive tennis match or simply a space to let off steam, your backyard becomes a hub for activity and connection.
From an investment perspective, custom backyard sports areas are increasingly seen as a value-adding feature in residential properties. A professionally designed court doesn’t just improve functionality—it enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space, positioning your home as lifestyle-oriented and family-friendly.

Who Benefits from a Backyard Court?
Our backyard sports areas are designed for a wide range of users—from active families to sports enthusiasts and everyone in between.
Homeowners often choose to install courts as a way to improve their lifestyle and get more from their outdoor space. Children benefit from having a safe and private place to play, train and socialise—right at home, away from busy roads or crowded public facilities. And families enjoy the convenience of spontaneous playtime and the satisfaction of knowing their court has been designed just for them.
We also work with local councils and community developers looking to create shared outdoor facilities in family-oriented suburbs. A well-planned court encourages healthier communities, offering children and teens a dedicated space to stay active and engaged.
Whether you’re a parent of aspiring athletes or simply want to make the most of your backyard, our sports areas are designed to suit your needs and your lifestyle.

How the Process Works
Every project starts with a conversation. During the initial consultation, we’ll learn more about your goals, your space and your preferred sports. Whether you’ve got a compact backyard or a larger block, we’ll assess the site and recommend a solution that balances function, aesthetics and playability.
Once we understand your vision, our team moves into the design phase. You’ll have the chance to choose from a wide range of surface types, including acrylic, synthetic grass and modular tiles, depending on your preferred sports and maintenance preferences. We’ll work with you to tailor the colours, line markings, court dimensions and any additional features—like fencing, lighting or custom branding.
Installation is carried out by our in-house team, with every detail managed from start to finish. We handle site preparation, base construction, surfacing, and finishing touches, all while ensuring the highest standards of workmanship and safety compliance.
Before handover, we’ll walk you through the completed project and provide tips on care and maintenance. Our goal is to ensure your new sports court not only looks incredible but delivers long-term performance and enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions
The amount of land required depends on the type of court you’re installing. For example, a standard tennis court is typically 23.77m long and 10.97m wide, but you’ll need to account for additional space for run-offs and fencing. For basketball, netball, or multi-use courts, the space can vary based on design and purpose. We recommend consulting with our team to determine the ideal dimensions for your project.
Cushion systems have superb shock-absorbing qualities, reducing the strain on legs and joints during play. This not only enhances player comfort and safety but also ensures an extended playing life of the surface, making it a smart long-term investment for those seeking to improve their court’s durability.
Yes, the minimum required run-off area depends on the type of court being installed. For example, tennis courts require a larger run-off area compared to other sports to allow for safe movement around the court. It’s important to consider the specific sport’s guidelines to ensure the safety and functionality of the court.
To keep your court in top condition, regular maintenance is key. This includes sweeping debris, removing leaves, and keeping the surface clean. If your court has a synthetic surface, occasional brushing helps maintain the fibres. Additionally, checking for signs of wear and addressing any repairs promptly will ensure the longevity and safety of your court.
