How much space
does a court need?
The marked court is 20 × 44 feet. USA Pickleball recommends a 34 × 64-foot total playing surface for new construction, with additional site space for paths, gates, seating and other needs.
Our planner checks the width and length in both orientations. Setbacks, drainage and approvals are separate site decisions.

04 / BUILT AROUND YOUR PROPERTY
Kansas City builders.
A site-specific court.
The base, drainage and surface system need to work together. A fresh color coating cannot correct a moving base or water with nowhere to go.
Our installation partner works on residential and commercial concrete in the Kansas City area, with published experience on a residential sports-court concrete project. Confirm who provides the base, specialty surfacing, fencing and electrical work in your proposal.
Our partner relationship & approachResolve lighting early

Consider the neighbors
Nearby windows, intended hours, equipment and lights belong in the first layout discussion. A hedge is not a verified sound barrier.

Read the guide ↗YOUR NEXT FOUR STEPS
Turn the idea into a defined project.
- Measure the site
- Explore the budget
- Compare the scope
- Review the design
Can a court fit in a small backyard?
Measure usable width and length after allowing for site restrictions. The painted rectangle alone is not enough for the total playing surface. Use the space planner, then have a site-specific layout checked.
Can an old tennis court become pickleball courts?
Sometimes. The enclosure, surface condition, equipment and circulation determine the workable layout. The conversion guide explains why court count should come from measured drawings.
Will I need a permit?
That depends on the address and proposed work. Check the municipality or unincorporated county, plus private covenants. Lights, drainage and fences can introduce separate reviews. Start with the local permit guide.
Is the instant estimate a contractor quote?
It is a preliminary calculation using a published benchmark and allowances you enter. A contractor must price the actual site and scope. Inputs are not submitted or used to schedule work.
