Backyard Hoops
A Custom Basketball Court Built for Play
This project began with a common family frustration, a shaded backyard where grass refused to grow and the space went unused. Our client had a vision: to transform it into a basketball court for their sons, creating a dedicated space to shoot hoops, stay active, and have fun right at home.
We delivered exactly that, a premium backyard basketball court, designed for daily use and built to last.
From Patchy Lawn to Full Court Fun.
Our team levelled the surface and laid a solid foundation for performance. Using our Stamina 15mm sports turf, we created a clean, consistent, non slip surface ideal for fast footwork and true ball bounce. Finished with cutting in clear court lines, this compact court now invites solo practice, friendly games, and after school shootarounds — no muddy patches, no maintenance, just all weather play.

After years of battling mud during winter and dust in the summer, we decided it was time to get a basketball court to replace our dead lawn by Lifestyle Lawns. It was exactly the way all the other reviews read! Top quality service and advice from Matt backed up by a superb team on the ground lead by Steve. Nothing was a problem (including my numerous changes on line positioning and thickness!), the installers were fussy and therefore the finished product was top notch. Pricing was very competitive but more importantly, the value for money was the best by far. Our kids couldn't be happier with an all weather court and we just wished we did it earlier! To cap things off they included 3 basketballs for our boys which was a really nice touch. Thanks again!
