Standalone 6×52 ft slab or integrated into a larger multi-sport layout. Smooth-finish SportMaster top coat for consistent puck travel year-round.
View shuffleboard details →Design Options
Surface color, line layout, enclosure, and hardware decisions are made during the design phase — before permits are pulled. Here's what homeowners typically configure.
Surface Colors
SportMaster acrylic coatings in 15+ standard colors. Most Sahuarita HOAs require earth-tone or muted palettes — we'll cross-reference your CC&Rs before finalizing the color selection.
Line Configurations
Lines are painted in contrasting SportMaster color — not taped. They won't peel in heat. Multiple sport lines can share the same slab with distinct color coding per sport.
Net Systems
Permanent in-ground post sleeves for tennis and pickleball, or portable net systems anchored to the slab. We specify post depth for Sahuarita's wind load requirements.
Perimeter Fencing
Chain-link (9 or 11 gauge), vinyl-coated black or green, or powder-coated welded panel. Fence specs are submitted as part of the HOA package. Heights typically range from 10–20 ft.
Lighting
LED sports lighting on galvanized poles. Positioned to eliminate shadow overlap on the court surface. Evening play is practical — Sahuarita summers make late-day sessions the norm.
Drainage Slope
All slabs are poured with a minimum 1% cross-slope for drainage. Critical during monsoon season — standing water on a sport court surface shortens coating life significantly.
How a Residential Court Gets Built
From first call to final demo, here's the exact sequence we follow on every Sahuarita residential project.
-
1Free Site Visit Day 1–3
We measure the yard, probe for caliche depth, confirm setbacks, and review any HOA restrictions on file. You receive a written scope and fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.
-
2Design & HOA Submittal Week 1–2
We prepare the site plan, select surface colors within your HOA's approved palette, and assemble the fence spec package. You sign off, then we submit to your HOA on your behalf.
-
3Permit Application Week 2–5 (Pima County review)
We file the building permit with Pima County. You provide your property survey — we handle every form. Permit fees run $150–$400 and are paid directly to the county.
-
4Excavation & Base Days 1–4 of construction
Caliche is broken, excavated, and hauled. We compact native soil, install engineered base material, and form the slab perimeter. Rebar layout follows the engineer's specification for Sahuarita's soil conditions.
-
5Concrete Pour & Cure Days 5–14
Pours are scheduled for early morning to minimize heat-related curing issues. In summer months, the slab is misted and covered for the first 72 hours to control hydration in 98°F conditions.
-
6SportMaster Surface & Lines Days 15–18
Resurfacer, color coats, and line striping are applied in sequence per SportMaster's application protocol. Surface must be dry and above 50°F — we don't rush this step.
-
7Hardware, Fencing & Demo Day Days 19–22
Net posts, hoops, and fencing are installed. We walk the finished court with you, confirm all lines and hardware, and hand over the permit inspection card once the county closes the permit.
Residential Pricing
Prices vary based on court size, sport configuration, fencing, and site conditions. Caliche depth is the single biggest variable in Sahuarita — we assess it at the site visit before any numbers are finalized.
Single Pickleball or Half-Court Basketball
Concrete slab, SportMaster surface, line striping, and portable or permanent net system. Fencing and lighting are add-ons.
Multi-Sport or Full Tennis Court
Larger slab, multiple sport line overlays or full-size tennis layout, perimeter fencing, and in-ground net post sleeves included.
Financing options are available through third-party lenders. Ask about payment terms during your site visit. All proposals are fixed-price — no change orders for conditions identified at the site visit.
Questions Sahuarita Homeowners Ask
Do I need a permit for a backyard sport court?
Yes. Most residential sport courts in Sahuarita require a building permit through Pima County — typically $150–$400. We file the application; you provide your property survey.
How does caliche affect my project cost?
Caliche is a hardened calcium carbonate layer found throughout Sahuarita. It must be excavated before base compaction. We probe for depth at the site visit and price it into the fixed proposal — no surprises during digging.
Will my HOA need to approve this?
Most Sahuarita subdivisions are HOA-governed. We prepare the full submittal package — site plan, surface color samples, and fence specs — and submit to your HOA on your behalf.
How long does the full process take?
Permit review and HOA approval typically add 3–6 weeks before construction starts. Once the permit is in hand, most residential courts are complete in 2–4 weeks from groundbreak.
Can construction happen during summer?
Yes, with adjustments. Concrete pours happen at dawn, and slabs are misted during cure. SportMaster coating applications are scheduled outside the monsoon window (July–September) when possible.
Can I add a second sport to an existing slab later?
If the existing slab is structurally sound and properly sized, yes. We evaluate the current surface condition and add new sport lines during a resurfacing application. Not all slabs qualify — we assess at a site visit.
Ready to see what fits in your yard?
A site visit costs nothing. We'll probe for caliche, confirm your setbacks, and give you a fixed-price proposal — before any permits are pulled or HOA forms are filed.
