Pickleball courts · construction, conversion, resurfacing, lines
Pickleball courts: built new, or made from tennis courts.
Dedicated courts for parks and clubs, tennis-to-pickleball conversions, blended-line layouts, and resurfacing of courts that already exist. Built to USA Pickleball dimensions, coated with SportMaster acrylic, lined by hand. The courts we built for Hudson are full from morning to dusk.
Pickleball was the fastest-growing sport in the country for most of this decade (the industry's own 2026 numbers show it finally leveling off) and it is the busiest line of work in this company. Cities, park districts, clubs, schools and homeowner associations across Northeast Ohio are being asked for courts, and the question is never whether but how many, where, and what to do about the tennis players and the neighbors. We have built enough of them now to answer quickly.
There are three ways to get pickleball courts. Build dedicated courts on a new pad, which is what Hudson and Strongsville did and what players prefer. Convert a tennis court, which gives two or four courts on a pad that already has a base, a fence and drainage. Or blend pickleball lines onto a tennis court that keeps its tennis lines, which is the cheapest and the most argued-about. Each has a page below.
Whichever it is, the surface is the same: a SportMaster acrylic system with the texture set for a plastic ball and a quick game, the kitchen lines measured three times, and a net at 36 inches on the posts and 34 at the center. And the siting matters more than for tennis, because the game is loud: we put the courts where the sound goes somewhere useful.
The work
Pickleball courts: four jobs, one crew.
Each has its own page with what is included, when you need it, what goes on and what it costs.
Construction & conversion
Dedicated courts on a new pad, or two to four courts made from a tennis court: the layout, the base, the surface, the nets and the fence.
The detailsResurfacing
Courts that have had three or four hard seasons brought back: cleaned, repaired, resurfaced in two colors, relined.
The detailsRepair & leveling
Cracks bridged and low spots leveled between surfaces, including the old tennis seams that come through on converted courts.
The detailsLine striping
Lines to the USA Pickleball diagram, laid out by hand, and blended-line layouts that put pickleball on a tennis or basketball court without confusing either game.

Pickleball work you can go and see.
Parma Heights: three tennis and seven pickleball courts at Greenbrier Commons
A city's whole court complex rebuilt in one season, bought through the SportMaster cooperative contract without a separate bid. The biggest job on the public record.
The project
Bay Village: a basketball court becomes four pickleball courts at Reese Park
The city asked for pickleball without building a new pad. Four courts, a cross of fence between them, done for the price of a used car.
The project
Cleveland Heights: two tennis courts become four pickleball courts at Forest Hill Park
The conversion that keeps the most people happy: the tennis stays, the pickleball players get real nets, the pad and the fence were already there.

About pickleball courts.
More on the questions page; the long answers are in the articles below.
How many pickleball courts fit on one tennis court?
Four, each with the 30 by 60 foot playing area USA Pickleball recommends as a minimum, on a standard 120 by 60 pad. Two fit with room to spare. Fewer courts with more run-off play better and are quieter; more courts serve more people. The club decides; we draw both.
Dedicated courts or lines on the tennis court?
Dedicated courts if you can: the players get the right net height, the right run-off and their own gate, and the tennis players get their court back. Blended lines cost a fraction and work where a court is lightly used by both. The conversion article goes through the choice.
What about the noise?
A paddle hitting a pickleball is louder and higher-pitched than tennis and carries further than people expect. We site courts with that in mind, use setbacks and the lie of the land, and install acoustic fence panels where homes are close. The noise article has the numbers and the fixes.
How much does a pickleball court cost?
A conversion costs a fraction of a new build because the base, the fence and the drainage already exist. New dedicated courts are priced per court and fall as the count rises. We price each job after a site walk.
