Pickleball and Sports Courts in Springville
A pickleball court needs a flat pad about 30 by 60 feet once you add room to run. On the west side of Springville, finding flat ground is easy. Keeping it flat is the job, because lakebed clay swells with water and heaves with frost, and a court shows every bump. A crack running across the kitchen line is usually the first sign the base was too thin.
Up on the east bench it is the reverse. The soil is gravelly and drains well, but the lots slope. A court there needs a cut into the hill, a fill on the low side or both, usually with a retaining wall. Springville requires a permit and engineering for walls over 4 feet with the footing, and bench lots may also sit in the Hillside Overlay.
We build Springville courts to match the lot. On clay we dig deep, compact a road-base section and pour a reinforced slab with a slight slope to shed water. On the bench we grade the pad, build the walls and handle the city permits. Fencing, lights, a putting green or a basketball hoop can all go in on the same job, built by the same crew.
Springville, Art City, spreads from about 4,400 feet by Utah Lake up past 5,600 feet on the east bench, so a west-side clay yard and a bench view-lot are different soil, drainage and frost worlds, and one quote does not fit both.

The Springville challenges
West-side clay and creek-bottom ground move. Over a few winters, a court slab on a thin base can lift at one corner and crack across the middle. Acrylic court coatings show every one of those cracks, and filling them only holds for so long.
A full court on a sloped bench lot can mean a big cut on the uphill side and fill on the downhill side. Fill that is not compacted in lifts settles, and the court tips. The wall that holds the cut has to drain, and past 4 feet it needs engineering.
Springville wants fence plans submitted to Community Development, with a site plan, before construction starts. Players want tall fencing, but tall fences have rules. We work through height and placement with the city before anything is ordered, so you are not stuck with a fence that has to come down.
Many Springville streets are close-set, and court lights that spill into bedroom windows cause trouble fast. On the bench, lights can also shine down onto the homes below you. Fixtures need to be aimed and shielded to light the court, not the whole street.
The J&H approach
On clay we over-dig, add fabric and compact deep road base before we pour. On the bench we pull cobble out of the pad area and fill the holes with compacted base. Either way the slab gets rebar, planned joints and a slight cross slope.
We set the court pad with a laser, compact fill in thin lifts, and build drained retaining walls on the cut and fill sides. Any wall taller than 4 feet, footing included, gets an engineer's plan and a Springville permit.
We plan fence height with the city, set posts deep in concrete, and use shielded LED fixtures aimed down at the court. That keeps the light on the lines and off the neighbors below or beside you, which keeps everybody friendly.
