Building a backyard court in Magna

From Magna, about 13 miles west 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.

Intense mountain-elevation sunlight bleaches court colors over the years, so mid-tone colors and UV-resistant acrylic coatings keep their look longer. Retaining walls taller than about 4 feet, or walls holding up a slope above them, often need an engineer's design and a city permit, and every court dig waits for an 811 locate.

Court estimates in Magna are free and start with three details: yard dimensions, which way it slopes, and whether you want pickleball, basketball or both. Expect a return call to set up a yard visit.

Around Magna

Plenty of Magna players near Great Salt Lake State Park - Saltair Beach and Mollys Nipple drive to public courts for a game. A backyard court brings that game home, and it plays every bit as well when the slab is flat, drained and free of joints in the lines.

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.

Beyond Magna, backyard pickleball and sport courts are also planned and built for yards in Lake Point, West Valley City, Stansbury Park and Kearns, slopes and all.

Questions

Magna FAQs

How much yard does a pickleball court need in Magna?

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 Magna?

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 Magna 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 Magna 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 Magna?

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.

How long until we can play?

Plan on several weeks from first dig to first serve. Excavation, walls and the pour usually fill anywhere from a few days to two weeks, yard depending, and then the slab cures, often around four weeks, before the acrylic surface goes on. Most courts are poured between spring and fall.
