Travis Country West Backyard Court
Project Story
Backed up to the Regents High School practice fields, this Travis Country West property was ready to trade out the old playground for something fresh — and pickleball was the clear winner.
With a house full of young athletes, the family wanted a fun activity everyone could enjoy together, plus a court that could double for basketball. We carefully tucked the court between the pool and neighboring property, cutting it into the existing landscape to maintain privacy and flow.
The court was sized intentionally to preserve as many trees as possible, giving the space natural shade and a private, tucked-away feel. The result: poolside pickleball, family fun, and a court that’s quickly become the talk of the neighborhood.

Before & After
Before & After
Design & Solution
Our team implemented a cut excavation method to perfectly nest the court between the pool and neighboring property. A 30” x 30’ concrete retaining wall, tapered along the 56’ side, was built to support the layout.
The design preserved as many trees as possible, maintaining privacy, providing natural shade, and creating a tucked-away, quiet space for both pickleball and basketball play.
The result speaks for itself
Impact
The new backyard court has quickly become a family favorite and a neighborhood highlight. With plenty of shade and space, the court now hosts regular family matches and friendly neighborhood games, all without disrupting the peaceful flow of the backyard.
