Sport Court Construction — Boise, ID
Custom Backyard Sport Courts in Boise, Idaho
Your yard, your sports, your court. Boise Sport Courts designs and builds custom multi-sport backyard courts across the Treasure Valley — tailored to your space, your HOA, and the way your family plays.
The best backyard isn't the biggest one — it's the one your family actually uses. A custom backyard sport court turns unused lawn and side-yard space into the most-played-on square footage of your property: morning shooting practice, after- school pickleball, weekend tournaments with the neighbors. And because no two Treasure Valley properties are alike — from Eagle's sprawling ranchette lots to tidy backyards in Meridian's master-planned communities — no two courts we build are alike either.
Boise Sport Courts is a local design-build contractor specializing in residential sport court construction. We handle everything: site evaluation, custom design, excavation, engineered base, professional acrylic surfacing, hoops and nets, lighting, fencing, and the HOA approval paperwork in between. One crew, one written estimate, and a court designed around your space instead of forced into it.
Options
What We Build
Custom means the court fits your family — not a catalog. These are the formats Boise-area homeowners ask for most.
Multi-sport combination courts
Our signature backyard build: one court, multiple sports. The most popular combination pairs a basketball key and three-point arc with regulation pickleball lines in a contrasting color — two full sports on a single surface. We can add volleyball, badminton, four square, shuffleboard, or a tennis practice lane, each in its own line color so the layout stays clean and readable. Adjustable hoops and portable net systems let the court change sports in minutes.
Compact courts for smaller yards
You don't need an acre. A well-designed 30'×30' court delivers real basketball and a surprising amount of play value, and a 30'×60' pad gives you full regulation pickleball. We specialize in squeezing maximum playability out of typical suburban lots in Boise, Meridian, and Nampa — designing around patios, landscaping, fences, and setbacks to find space homeowners didn't know they had.
Estate and ranchette sport complexes
On larger properties in Eagle, Star, and the Boise foothills, we build full backyard sport destinations: oversized multi-sport courts with LED lighting for evening play, containment fencing, seating areas, and custom color schemes with a family logo at center court. These projects often combine with putting greens, bocce courts, and patio spaces into a complete outdoor recreation plan.
Built for Idaho
Surface & Materials
A backyard court lives outdoors through every Idaho season — we build them to handle all four.
Every backyard court starts with site-specific engineering: excavation to proper depth, a compacted aggregate base matched to your soil (including the expansive clays found in parts of the Treasure Valley), and drainage designed to move irrigation and snowmelt away from the slab. This invisible work is what keeps a court level and crack-free through decades of freeze-thaw cycles.
The playing surface is a professional acrylic sport system — multi-coat, UV-stable, and textured for all-weather traction — over a reinforced concrete or asphalt base. Optional cushion coats reduce joint impact for daily players. Colors are fully custom: classic green, US Open blue, school colors, or a combination with your family initial or logo striped at center court.
Equipment is commercial grade: in-ground adjustable hoops with tempered-glass backboards anchored into the slab, permanent or portable pickleball and volleyball net systems, LED sport lighting on dedicated circuits, and containment fencing or rebounder nets that keep balls in play and out of the flower beds.

Investment
Backyard Court Pricing & Timeline
Most custom backyard sport courts in the Boise area cost $20,000–$50,000. Compact multi-sport courts on flat, accessible lots start near the lower end; larger courts with cushion surfacing, lighting, fencing, and premium equipment packages reach the upper end. The biggest variables are always site prep, slab size, and the extras you choose — all itemized in your written estimate.
We know a backyard court is a significant investment, so we make the numbers easy to work with: clear line-item pricing, options broken out so you can phase extras like lighting into a later season, and honest guidance about where money matters (base and surface) versus where you can save. Every estimate is free and comes with no obligation.
Most backyard courts take 2–4 weeks of construction plus slab cure time. Spring is the busiest season for backyard sport court construction in Boise — families who book consultations in late winter get the best build slots and are playing by summer.

Common Questions
Backyard Sport Court FAQs
How much does a custom backyard sport court cost in Boise?
Most custom backyard sport courts in the Boise area cost $20,000–$50,000 depending on size, surface system, and extras like lighting, fencing, and hoop or net packages. Compact multi-sport courts start near the lower end; large multi-sport designs with full amenities reach higher. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate.
What sports can I combine on one court?
The most popular combinations are basketball plus pickleball, but we stripe courts for any mix: basketball, pickleball, tennis practice, volleyball, badminton, four square, shuffleboard, and hockey. Each sport gets its own line color so the layout stays readable, and we design the court dimensions around the sports you care about most.
My yard isn't huge — can I still fit a court?
Usually, yes. A functional multi-sport court can start around 30'×30', and pickleball needs only 30'×60' including overruns. During your free consultation we measure your actual space and design the largest, most playable court your yard, setbacks, and budget allow — you'd be surprised what fits.
Will my HOA allow a backyard sport court?
Most Treasure Valley HOAs allow backyard courts with approval, and some have specific rules about fencing height, lighting, and colors. We help with the approval packet — drawings, spec sheets, and site plans — and design around your CC&Rs so the process goes smoothly.
Can you design around landscaping, pools, or slopes?
Yes — that's the 'custom' part. We routinely design courts around mature trees, pools, patios, garden beds, and sloped ground. Odd-shaped yards often produce the most interesting courts. Site constraints are identified at the free consultation and priced into the written estimate.
Do backyard courts add value to a home?
In the Treasure Valley's family-oriented market, a professionally built sport court is a genuine differentiator — especially in communities like Eagle, Meridian, and Star where buyers expect usable outdoor living space. Beyond resale, most families tell us the court becomes the most-used 'room' of the house.
