Dedicated or shared play

Pickleball Court Construction & Conversion

A pickleball project may begin with open land, an existing tennis court, or another hard-court surface. Eden starts with how the space exists today and how it should be used, then defines whether the work calls for new construction, conversion, resurfacing, or a shared-use layout.

Where this work fits

Start with the project as it exists today.

Service capabilities

What this work can include.

Final scope names only what the court, property, and intended outcome require.

  • New pickleball court construction
  • Existing tennis or hard-court conversion
  • Hard-court resurfacing and color systems
  • Dedicated or shared-use line layouts
  • Fencing and access needs considered with the wider scope
  • Net and post requirements confirmed project by project

What shapes the recommendation

The useful details are often connected.

01

Begin with the existing condition

Available space, grades, drainage behavior, access, and the condition of any existing base or surface shape whether construction, conversion, or resurfacing is the useful path.

02

Choose dedicated or shared use

A dedicated pickleball layout and a court shared with tennis or another activity have different line, color, circulation, and equipment decisions. The priorities should be clear before the finish is planned.

03

Resolve the complete layout

Playing area, line visibility, net requirements, gates, access, enclosure, nearby property uses, and current local requirements belong in one review. Exact equipment and project inclusions are confirmed in the written scope.

Hamptons & Long Island

New pickleball court or tennis-court conversion?

In the Hamptons, the property's town or village, existing court dimensions and intended use are essential starting points. New construction, a dedicated conversion and shared tennis/pickleball lines are different scopes, and feasibility must be reviewed for the parcel.

Project path

A clearer request leads to a clearer first review.

  1. 01

    Share the court

    Tell us the town, surface, current condition, intended service, and desired timing. Photos are useful when available.

  2. 02

    Define the scope

    We separate routine surface work from reconstruction, irrigation, drainage, base, fencing, or other confirmed needs.

  3. 03

    Review next steps

    The written scope can then reflect the court and the project rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Common questions

About pickleball courts.

Can an existing tennis court be converted for pickleball?

It may be possible. The existing dimensions, surface and base condition, drainage, enclosure, intended layout, and other uses should be reviewed before a conversion scope is defined.

Should the pickleball court be dedicated or shared use?

A dedicated layout prioritizes pickleball. A shared-use layout preserves another activity and adds its own line, color, and equipment decisions. The right fit depends on the space and the owner’s playing priorities.

Can fencing or net equipment be included?

Fencing and access needs can be considered with the court. Net, post, and other equipment details are confirmed project by project in the written scope.

How much space does a pickleball court need?

Regulation playing lines are 20 by 44 feet. USA Pickleball recommends at least 30 by 60 feet of total playing surface and prefers 34 by 64 feet. Those are court-planning benchmarks, not property setbacks; the full project can require more room for fencing, access, drainage, construction, and local requirements.

How many pickleball courts fit on one tennis court?

USA Pickleball's line-layout guide says two courts can be added to a standard tennis court without greatly interfering with its line structure. As many as four may fit, but the guide describes that layout as packed with minimal room between courts. Actual dimensions, corners, access, drainage, separation, and intended tennis use must be reviewed before choosing a count.

Can tennis stay on a shared-use court?

It may be possible to preserve tennis and add pickleball lines. Shared-use planning should resolve line contrast, net setup, circulation, and which sport takes priority before the surface is finished.

Do local setback or sound rules apply?

They can. Pickleball requirements differ among Long Island towns and villages and can depend on the parcel and proposed layout. The current jurisdiction, setbacks, drainage, screening, sound attenuation, and any lighting should be reviewed before a plan is fixed.

What affects the cost of a pickleball court project?

New construction, conversion, surface repairs, resurfacing, line layout, fencing, access, drainage, sound measures, and equipment can create very different scopes. Eden reviews the property and intended use before defining project-specific pricing.
