The Backyard Court Company builds and renovates commercial-grade sport courts across New Jersey and the Tri-State area. We work directly with facilities managers, property managers, school administrators, and developers to deliver courts that look sharp, hold up under daily use, and stay maintenance-friendly for the long haul.
From full new-build installations to resurfacing worn-out asphalt and concrete, we handle every phase in-house — site evaluation, base engineering, permitting, ADA-conscious layout, striping, fencing, lighting, and finish. Fully insured with NJ Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH14238300.
Every organization is different. Here's who we build for the most.
Multi-sport courts for elementary, middle, and high schools. Playground safety surfaces, gym floor overlays, and outdoor basketball, tennis, pickleball, and futsal. ADA-conscious layouts and fast summer-break installs so we're done before students return.
Community basketball and pickleball courts, shared-amenity multi-sport courts, and full renovations of aging HOA facilities. Board-friendly quotes, phased-payment options, and clean punch-list handovers.
Property managers use our courts to boost rentals, retention, and Google Maps reviews. Pickleball, half-court basketball, bocce, and multi-sport pads sized to whatever space you have on-site.
Durable, low-maintenance surfaces for summer camps, day camps, and after-school programs. VersaCourt modular tile is our go-to — it drains, doesn't crack, and lasts decades.
Municipal-grade court construction and rehab. Concrete or post-tension bases, colored acrylic finishes, dedicated pickleball conversions from underused tennis courts, and full ADA striping packages.
Church, temple, and community-center courts that support youth ministry, fellowship, and outreach. Multi-use layouts squeeze basketball, pickleball, four-square, and gaga pits into one shared pad.
New-construction amenity courts for townhome, apartment, and mixed-use developments. Coordination with GCs and landscape architects, spec-grade documentation, and warranty-backed builds.
Most of the commercial courts we visit don't need a full tear-out — they need a smart renovation. We assess the base honestly and give you the least-invasive path to a court that plays and looks like new.
Structural crack routing, elastomeric patching, level correction, and pressure-washing. Done before any coating so the finish lasts.
Multi-coat acrylic resurfacing on concrete or asphalt bases. Tour-grade texture, UV-stable color, standard 6–10 year lifespan before the next refresh.
Modular tile snaps over your existing base — perfect for aged courts where the sub-base is fine but the surface is failing. 20+ year lifespan, no downtime beyond the install week.
Regulation striping for basketball, tennis, pickleball, futsal, four-square, and any custom overlay. Fastest conversion: turning one aging tennis court into 4 pickleball courts.
Fencing replacement, gate hardware, ADA-compliant approach paths, drainage correction, and LED lighting retrofits.
Every commercial project starts with the right base. Here's how we recommend across use cases.
| Surface | Best For | Lifespan | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| VersaCourt Modular Tile | Schools, camps, HOAs — daily-use, no downtime | 20+ years | Sweep & hose |
| Post-Tension Concrete + Acrylic | Municipal / long-life installs, freeze-thaw resistance | 25+ years | Recoat every 8–10 yrs |
| Acrylic on Concrete | Pro-tour finish, apartment amenities, tennis clubs | 8–12 yrs before resurface | Periodic resurface |
| Acrylic on Asphalt | Budget-conscious park & rec builds | 6–10 yrs before resurface | Resurface + seal |
We'll walk your site, evaluate what's there, and recommend honestly — including telling you if we'd rather refinish than rebuild.
We walk the property with you (or your PM/board), inspect the existing surface, review any base drawings, and confirm what you want. Free.
Line-item scope, surface recommendation, phased-payment schedule, and a written timeline. Insurance certificates and license documentation included.
We pull the permits, coordinate with your PM or GC, schedule around camp/school-year timing, and stage the build to minimize community disruption.
Daily job updates, punch-list walk, warranty handover, and a maintenance plan sized to your usage. We stick around after handover for the touch-ups.
Tennis-to-pickleball conversions, multi-court amenity complexes, and school- and HOA-grade pickleball pads. Every project scoped, built, and handed over by our own crew.
Yes. Most of our commercial work is exactly this — public and private schools, HOA amenity courts, apartment and multi-family developments, camps, parks & rec departments, and religious organizations. We handle board-approvals, phased payments, insurance certificates, and coordination with property managers or general contractors.
Almost always. Most commercial courts we look at need surface work, not a rebuild. Crack repair + acrylic resurfacing, or a VersaCourt tile overlay, can give you a new-looking court for a fraction of tear-out cost. We'll tell you honestly which path makes sense.
Yes — this is the single most common commercial project we do. One aging tennis court converts cleanly into 4 pickleball courts with restriping, or 2 dedicated pickleball courts with new nets. Great ROI for HOAs and municipalities.
Yes. We design to ADA guidelines (approach paths, landings, court dimensions) and handle all local permitting. Insurance certificates and license documentation available on request.
Phased-payment structure aligned to project milestones — deposit at contract, progress payment at base completion, final at punch-list acceptance.
Yes — LED court lighting (dimmable, 5000K), perimeter fencing (chain-link or black powder-coated mesh), gates, windscreens, and drainage upgrades all included in most commercial projects.
A resurface or restripe is usually 1–2 weeks. A new asphalt/concrete court is 4–8 weeks depending on base type and weather. VersaCourt tile overlays are the fastest — 1 week for most single-court installs.
Yes. NJ Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH14238300. Fully insured with general liability and workers' comp. Certificates provided on request.
