The lines are the easy part.
Kentucky Pickleball Court Builders LLC was founded in Lexington in 2021 and serves court projects statewide.
Most people picture the finished colors and a new net waiting for the first game. But the paint comes last. The work underneath determines how the court drains, plays, and holds up through Kentucky weather.

The work beneath the surfaceA complete construction system
A great court is built from the ground up.
Kentucky clay, limestone, rainfall, and freeze-thaw movement make the site work as important as the surface color. Each layer has a job to do.
- 01Site & drainage
Plan slope, access, water movement, and the court footprint.
- 02Foundation
Build the structural base for consistent play and long-term performance.
- 03Surface & play
Apply the playing system, precise lines, nets, fencing, and lighting.

Common questions
What property owners ask before construction.
Practical answers are the beginning. A site-specific plan comes next.
How much space does a pickleball court need?
The official playing lines measure 20 by 44 feet. A complete court needs additional run-off space around those lines. The final footprint depends on residential or commercial use, fencing, access, and whether multiple courts are planned.
Should a court use concrete or asphalt?
Both can work. The better choice depends on the property, soil, drainage, budget, selected surface system, maintenance expectations, and how heavily the court will be used.
Can an existing tennis court be converted?
Often, yes. The number of pickleball courts and the right conversion method depend on the tennis court’s size, condition, drainage, fencing, and desired layout.
Can lighting and fencing be included?
Yes. A project can include perimeter fencing, divider fencing, gates, windscreens, nets, accessories, and court lighting planned around visibility and glare control.
Start with the site
You do not need finished plans to begin.
Send the property address, a few wide photos, and a short description of the court you want to build. That is enough to identify the next step.
