There are quite a few. Some of the factors involve the characteristics of the land, including whether it is flat, and the amount of excavation and drainage work required. Also, whether there are utility lines that must be relocated. But most are based upon choices made by the client. For example:
The best way for CourTex Construction to give you a quote is to get a copy of the land survey plat. In some cases, we may also visit the property. The land survey plat allows us to evaluate the space, determine if there are any underground obstructions or setback requirements, make some recommendations, and talk to you about options. Obtaining the land survey plat may seem like a hassle, but it has prevented many delays when construction cannot proceed as originally planned.
This has been a hotly debated question in the court construction world. Honestly, it is a question that can best be answered by each individual client based on their family’s needs.
Tiles are durable, and can be a good choice when children are small and the court is used for more than sports—like riding trikes and scooters, playing four square, etc. For usage like this, a tile surface is suitable and will likely require less frequent maintenance than an acrylic surface.
But competitive players are likely to find an acrylic surface more satisfying. Ball bounces on an acrylic surface are always true and lively. Traction is also better on an acrylic surface, so changes in direction and quick stops and starts are easier.
Before you decide, we recommend playing on both surfaces. That is the best way to determine which surface will work best for you and your family’s needs.

Here are the standard dimensions of various courts:
Basketball: A full-size NBA basketball court is 94’x50’. College and high school courts are 84″ x 50″. More often, people are looking for a “shooter court,” which is 30′ x 30′. If a 3-point line is desired, the court must be at least 26’ long from the goal.
Pickleball: The USPA designates 34’ x 64’ as regulation size for a tournament play pickleball court. We can size a pickleball court larger or smaller than that, depending upon what your space allows. For recreational play, many choose a 30′ x 60′ court to provide sufficient perimeter. The playing area of these recreational courts is 20′ x 44′.
Tennis: A full-size tennis court is 60’ x 120’, with the playing area 36’ x 78’. These dimensions can also be altered to accommodate the client’s space and budget.
