Padel is the fastest-growing racquet sport in the world — and Bergen County is starting to notice. We install tournament-grade backyard padel courts with tempered-glass walls, steel frame, and premium artificial turf. Be the first in your neighborhood. Free quote within 24 hours.
Padel is what tennis would look like if you mixed it with squash and made it more social. You play in a glass-walled court with two players per side, the ball bounces off the walls, points are fast and forgiving, and you can pick it up in your first 20 minutes. It's been the #1 racquet sport in Spain and Argentina for years, and it's blowing up in the U.S. right now.
If you've been on a wait-list at a club, played once on vacation and got hooked, or just want to be the family that has the only padel court in town — this is your moment. We can have a court in your backyard before the local clubs even take new members.
Padel courts have specific structural requirements — tempered glass, steel frame, level base, and tournament-spec dimensions. Here's what we install:
Full FIP-spec court — 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, 4m tall steel-and-glass walls. Plays exactly like the courts you'd find in a Spanish or Mexican club.
Slightly scaled-down dimensions for yards that can't fit the full regulation footprint. Still plays great for casual and family use.
Full tempered glass on the back walls (for the dramatic ball-off-glass play) with mesh fencing on the long sides. Pro look without doubling the cost.
Every padel build includes structural site prep, drainage, concrete pad, fully-engineered steel frame, tempered glass installation, premium artificial turf, regulation net, and a written scope of work.
Padel courts use a specific layered system — concrete base, shock-absorbing pad, and artificial turf with silica infill. Here's how the underlying base options compare:
| Surface | Feel | Lifespan | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| VersaCourt Tile | Cushioned, joint-friendly | 20+ years | Hose & sweep |
| Concrete | Hard, traditional, durable | 25+ years | Periodic seal |
| Asphalt | Tough, cost-effective | 15–20 years | Resurface + seal |
| Acrylic Coating (over concrete or asphalt) | Pro-tour finish, vibrant colors | 8–12 yrs before re-coat | Periodic resurface |
Padel courts must be built on poured concrete — the steel frame anchors directly into the slab. Post-tension concrete is the premium spec; standard reinforced concrete works for most backyard installs.
Every style, surface, and layout is fully customizable and can be designed and built for your needs.
We walk your property, measure the space, talk through what you want, and answer every question. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Within 24 hours you get a written estimate with the design, surface recommendation, and itemized pricing. Plans included.
Most courts complete in 2–6 weeks depending on weather and base type. We protect your landscaping, manage permits, and keep you updated daily.
We hand you a finished court with a walk-through of care for the surface. Game on.
"We discovered padel on a trip to Madrid and couldn't stop playing. When we got home there was nowhere to play within an hour's drive. The Backyard Court Company built us a regulation court in three weeks. Our friends fight for invites."
"Padel is genuinely better than tennis for casual play — my kids and I actually rally. The court is built like a fortress and looks like it belongs at a club. Worth every penny."
"Other contractors quoted me 5+ months out. These guys built it in six weeks, on schedule, and didn't cut a single corner."
A regulation padel court is 20 × 10 meters (66 × 33 ft). With clearance for the frame and netting, plan on at least 70 × 40 ft of buildable space. We can scale to a compact court in tighter yards.
Padel courts take 5–8 weeks from breaking ground — longer than other builds because of the concrete cure time and the steel-frame fabrication and installation. We'll give you an exact timeline at the consultation.
It's the easiest racquet sport to pick up. Most beginners are rallying within their first 20 minutes. Mixed skill levels play together really well, which is why it's so popular.
Yes — padel courts require a building permit in every Bergen County municipality because of the structural steel and glass walls. We handle the permit and engineering as part of the install.
Absolutely. We install LED light systems specifically engineered for padel — the glass walls require careful placement to avoid glare. Dual-head 5000K fixtures with dimming are our default.
Yes — we use 10mm or 12mm tempered safety glass to FIP (International Padel Federation) spec. It's the same material used at tournament venues. It's engineered to handle full-speed shots and will not shatter.
We serve all of Bergen County, NJ — Tenafly, Closter, Alpine, Demarest, Cresskill, Saddle River, Old Tappan, Englewood, Norwood, Harrington Park — plus Passaic, Hudson, and parts of Rockland County, NY. Padel is new enough that we travel further for the right project.
