Building a backyard court in Draper
From Draper, about 20 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City, we hear about yards of every shape: wide flat lawns, sloping lots and tight strips between the house and the property line. Most can fit a pickleball court, a sport court or a basketball slab with the right layout and prep.
A pickleball court measures 20 by 44 feet, yet backyard pads around the valley commonly run about 30 by 60 feet so players have room behind the baselines and along the sides. Summer evening sun drops low in the west across the Wasatch Front, so backyard courts are usually turned with the long axis roughly north to south.
Pace off where the court would go in your Draper yard, then pass the numbers along by form or phone. A callback follows with questions about slope and access, and the on-site estimate is free.

Around Draper
Homes close to Draper Oaks, Draper Park and Joyce University of Nursing & Health Sciences and elsewhere in Draper share the valley's freeze-thaw winters and strong summer sun, so courts here get a solid base, a gentle slope and colors that hold up.
Where old lake clay lies under a yard, it holds water and shifts with it, so court pads there get soft spots dug out and a compacted gravel base before the slab.
Beyond Draper, backyard pickleball and sport courts are also planned and built for yards in Bluffdale, Sandy, Riverton and Alpine, slopes and all.

Questions
Draper FAQs
How much yard does a pickleball court need in Draper?
The court is 20 by 44 feet, and about 30 by 60 feet of slab gives comfortable room to play. Smaller pads can still work for casual games, and sloped yards can often gain flat space with a retaining wall.
Do I need a permit for a backyard court in Draper?
It depends on the city and the project. Large slabs, retaining walls over about 4 feet and grading that changes drainage can bring permits, and HOAs often want to see a court plan. Digging waits until 811 has flagged the buried lines.
When can a court in Draper be poured?
Most courts are poured between spring and fall, when the ground isn't frozen. After the pour, the slab cures for several weeks before the acrylic surface goes on, so an early-season start means more of the year on the court.
Which way should a Draper court face?
Roughly north to south along its long axis, so the rising and setting sun stays out of players' eyes. Yard shape sometimes forces a compromise, and a few degrees off is fine.
How do I get a court estimate in Draper?
Phone (801) 751-6099 or use the form with your yard's rough size, the slope and the games you want. The contractor will reach out to talk it over and arrange a yard visit, and there's no charge for the estimate.
Do I need a permit or HOA sign-off for a backyard court?
Rules vary by city. Some want a permit for a large slab, retaining walls over about 4 feet or walls holding up a slope usually need one, and many HOAs want to see court plans and colors first. Before any digging, 811 is called so buried lines get flagged.
