Base and surfacing
A solid base and proper drainage come first. Then the acrylic surface, colors and lines.
Fencing and lighting
Fencing keeps balls in and neighbors happy. Lighting extends play time. Offer both as options.
HOA and permits
Check rules on noise, lighting and fencing. HOAs often need plans before approving.
Pricing
Break out excavation, base, surfacing, nets, fencing and lighting.
Marketing
Local players' groups and clubs spread the word fast. Show finished courts on social media.
Common mistakes
Skipping drainage, ignoring neighbors' concerns and underestimating access for equipment.
