Basketball Court Contractor in Springville, UT
Two things come up repeatedly in Springville. Excavation on the bench turns up boulders nobody knew were there, and a surprising number of properties already have a slab that is worth keeping rather than replacing.
Hidden boulders, and the two ways round them
Digging on the bench here regularly finds large rock below the surface. That either means extra labour to break and remove it, or bringing in material to build up instead so you avoid excavating that deep in the first place.
Which one is right depends on the site and the levels you need. It is worth asking about before you have a number, because a quote that assumes clean digging is a quote that can change.
You may not need a new slab
An older slab that has been down for years is often still in good enough condition to keep. Repairing the concrete and painting lines onto it costs a fraction of tearing it out, and it gets you a court in a fraction of the time.
That works for both sports at once — pickleball lines and a basketball hoop on the same pad, which is how a slab that was doing nothing becomes a court that gets used.
Lighting you may already have
Not every court needs a pole. Where lights on the house already reach the slab, evening play is covered without adding anything.
We would rather tell you that than sell you a lighting rig you do not need.
Our work in Springville
Springville East Bench Multi-Sport Court
A couple who wanted somewhere to play with their grandchildren — basketball and pickleball both, on ground that could still be a patio when nobody was playing on it. They already had the slab. It had been down for years and was still in good enough condition to keep, so instead of tearing it out we repaired the concrete and worked with what was there. Lines went on in white for both sports. We installed a Dominator hoop — glass backboard on a padded base pole. No lighting was needed here: the lights already on the house reach the court, so evening play was covered without putting a pole in.
Questions we get asked in Springville
Will you hit rock on my property?
Possibly. It is common on the bench here. We would rather look at the site and tell you which way we would go — dig it out, or build up over it.
Can I use the slab I already have?
Often yes, if the base under it is sound. Repair and paint is much cheaper than replacement, and it is the first thing we check.
Do I need to add lighting?
Not always. If the house already lights the area, that may be enough for evening play. We will say so.
