Installing a basketball court in your yard can be a great way to boost your property’s value and provide hours of fun for you and your family. However, the cost of materials and labor can also add up quickly. Before getting started, it’s essential to understand all the factors affecting the cost of installing a Sport Court basketball court.
When considering the cost of installing a basketball court, several factors must be considered.
When it comes to basketball court installation, the size of the court will be a significant factor. Site work, including the need for excavation, drainage systems, and other related infrastructure work, will also add to the cost of your installation.
We need a hard, flat surface for proper installation, so to achieve that on your property, we may need to excavate and grade the land, remove trees, relocate sprinklers, etc., to ensure a stable surface.
Depending on your property, site work can be a large portion of the installation cost, depending on how much preparation needs to be completed. Additionally, the accessibility to your property should also be considered. If it is difficult to access your yard and we are limited on the equipment we can use, it can require specialty equipment and cause the site work to take longer.
The base material, which will lie underneath your court, is typically concrete. This provides a stable base in all weather conditions, which is crucial with the ever-changing Pittsburgh weather. Concrete bases require no maintenance compared to materials like asphalt and can be reinforced with rebar during installation.
If you can’t pour a permanent concrete base, we also offer SportBase. This modular base provides shock absorption for safety, preventing injuries and falls, and is a more eco-friendly option. This option does not require heavy equipment and can be moved and packed up if you relocate.
No matter the base material option, Sport Court Of Pittsburgh can provide you with the general specifications and an estimate for your basketball court. Other factors that play into the cost of the base include accessibility, drainage, and local, state, and environmental codes.
Another factor that adds to the cost is the sort of court surface. This will be installed on top of the base material and serve as the playing surface. Our modular sport surface is shock resistant, featuring Lateral Forgiveness™ that allows slight movement between the tiles to absorb the transition forces caused by sudden shifts in direction. It is also available in various vibrant colors using our color technology and UV protection to resist fading.

You’ll also increase the value of your property by adding an outdoor feature like a basketball court.
Finally, installing a basketball court can make it easier to enjoy activities with the whole family. It’s a great way to spend quality time together while staying active outdoors. Plus, having an outdoor court can encourage your children to get away from screens and experience the joy of physical activity.
