This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. But we want to be honest about how to read them. Your Phoenix sport court isn't a line-item expense; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's daily experience, and a space you'll use for the next twenty to thirty years.
When you compare bids, compare what you're investing in — the spec, the crews, the warranty, the company that will still be standing in year ten — not just the price tag. The lowest bid is almost always the most expensive build over time.
Sport courts in Phoenix, modular tile or cushioned acrylic, built right.
AE Outdoor Living designs and installs backyard sport courts across the entire Phoenix metro — modular tile systems for basketball and casual play, cushioned acrylic for serious pickleball and multi-sport hybrids. Every court includes engineered base, adjustable hoops, and integrated lighting options. HOA submissions handled.
What we build
- Half basketball courts (30×30) on modular sport tile.
- Full basketball courts (45×75) with acrylic finish.
- Pickleball courts (30×60) with cushioned surface.
- Multi-sport hybrids — basketball + pickleball + volleyball.
- Practice / training courts with rebounders and pitch-back gear.
Phoenix sport court pricing
- Half basketball on asphalt + modular tile: $18,000–$32,000.
- Full acrylic basketball court: $45,000–$85,000.
- Multi-sport cushioned acrylic court: $55,000–$120,000+.
- Base, surface, hoops, fencing, and lighting all line-itemed.
Surface options
- Sport Court / VersaCourt modular tile — cooler, forgiving, easy repair.
- Cushioned acrylic (Plexipave, DecoTurf) — pro-grade ball response.
- Post-tensioned concrete slab under acrylic to control cracking.
- Rubberized shock pad for joint impact on multi-hour play.
HOA and permitting
Most Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Gilbert HOAs require submissions for permanent courts — fence height, lighting hours, net post color, and surface color. AE prepares the full packet with renderings and manages the review. Court fencing over 6 ft and permanent lighting require city permits; those are pulled in parallel.

Start My Project PlanWhy this is an investment, not a cost.
An AE backyard is engineered to add daily livability and long-term home value. We publish honest ranges and build to code with a licensed and bonded Arizona crew. AE provides project-specific workmanship and manufacturer-warranty information in the signed agreement. Website summaries are for planning only.
- Licensed, bonded & insured in Arizona. ROC 340966 (R-62) · ROC 341002 (R-3) · ROC 347738 (KA-5) · ROC 211530 (CR-21). Most Arizona contracting work valued at $1,000 or more — or requiring a permit — must be performed by a properly licensed contractor, subject to statutory exemptions. Verify the legal entity, license status, and classification with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors.
- Real ranges, itemized scope. You see materials, finishes, equipment models, and a line-item budget before you sign — not a one-line "pool — $90,000."
