Designed by a Pro, Built for Players
Building a pickleball court takes more than just construction knowledge. Every court we design, whether it’s a private backyard retreat or a multi-court commercial facility, is informed by firsthand experience competing at the professional level. At that level, court dimensions, ball response, surface performance, and player comfort matter.
We bridge the gap between builders and players to create courts that perform as good as they look, for homeowners, developers, hotels, RV parks, apartment communities, and commercial properties alike.

Meet Alex, Founder & Ex-Pro Pickleball Player
After playing college tennis, Alex discovered pickleball during COVID in 2021 and was instantly hooked. Just one year later he earned his first professional medal and began competing full-time on the PPA Tour in 2023.
Since then, he’s traveled the country competing against the top players in the world, reaching a career-high singles ranking of #14 and earning sponsorships with brands like CRBN Paddles, Thorlos Socks, and JLab Audio.
Today, Alex brings that professional playing experience into every project, helping homeowners and property owners design pickleball courts that don’t just look great, but truly play the way they should.

"Thank you Alex! I had a lot of concerns about building a court in my area after seeing my neighbor's court full of cracks. Our court has yet to crack and all of our friends say it's their favorite place to play pickleball!"
