What's Included in Every Basketball Court Build
No line-item surprises. Here's exactly what goes into a Marana Sport Courts basketball installation.

4-inch reinforced concrete over compacted base, with control joints placed to account for Marana's soil expansion and contraction cycles. Caliche layers are excavated and removed — not buried.

Commercial DetailsWhat Makes Marana Builds Different
Desert soil and HOA-heavy communities require specific answers at every phase of construction.
Caliche Excavation
Marana's caliche layers range from a few inches to several feet. We assess depth during the site visit and price excavation before you sign anything. Shallow caliche adds $1,500–$3,500; deeper continuous layers cost more. The concrete base requires proper compactable fill beneath it — we never pour over untreated caliche.
Pima County Permit Process
Residential sport courts in Marana typically require a Pima County building permit ($150–$400). We complete the application, prepare the site plan drawings, and coordinate inspections. You provide the property survey. Turnaround is typically 2–4 weeks.
HOA Submittals
Dove Mountain, Gladden Farms, Saguaro Bloom, and Tangerine Farms all have active architectural review processes. We prepare your full submittal package: site plan, surface color samples, fence specifications, and setback documentation. Approval timelines vary by HOA — plan for 3–8 weeks.
Seasonal Scheduling
The ideal pour window in Marana is October through April. Summer pours happen before 7 AM with extended curing protocols. Monsoon season (July–September) introduces 48-hour rain windows that can pause work. We build schedule contingencies into every summer contract.
How a Marana Basketball Court Gets Built
Six stages from first call to finished surface.
-
1
Site Visit & Assessment
We walk the property, probe for caliche depth, measure usable space, note drainage slope, and review HOA setback requirements. No cost, no obligation.
1–2 hours on-site -
2
Design, Permit & HOA Submittal
We produce the site plan, submit to Pima County, and prepare your HOA package. You review and approve the layout, surface color, and fence spec before anything is filed.
2–8 weeks (HOA and permit dependent) -
3
Excavation & Caliche Removal
Grading, caliche excavation, and placement of compactable fill to achieve a stable, level sub-base. Drainage slope is set at this stage — typically 1% grade for runoff.
2–5 days -
4
Concrete Pour & Cure
4-inch reinforced slab poured with control joints. Summer pours begin before 7 AM; curing blankets and misting used as needed. Minimum 28-day cure before surface coating.
1 day pour / 28-day cure -

SportMaster Surface & Striping
Two-coat acrylic application followed by acrylic sport paint for court lines. Surface is inspected for adhesion and texture consistency before striping begins.
2–3 days -

Goal Installation & Final Walkthrough
In-ground goal posts are set, backboards and rims mounted and leveled. We walk the finished court with you, confirm all line placements, and review surface care for the desert environment.

Basketball Court FAQs — Marana, AZ
How long does installation take?
Most residential courts take 3–5 weeks from permit approval to final striping. Caliche excavation adds 2–4 days. We build in monsoon contingencies for summer projects.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. Most residential sport courts in Marana require a Pima County building permit ($150–$400). We handle the application — you provide the property survey, we handle the rest.
What does caliche excavation cost?
Shallow layers (under 12 inches) typically add $1,500–$3,500. Deeper or continuous caliche costs more. We identify this during the free site visit before any contract is signed.
Can you build during summer?
Yes, with constraints. Pours happen before 7 AM using extended curing protocols. Monsoon season (July–September) adds scheduling uncertainty — we pause pours if rain is forecast within 48 hours.
What surface coating do you use?
SportMaster acrylic coatings engineered for high-UV, high-heat environments. Consistent ball bounce and traction even when surface temps exceed 140°F in a Marana summer.
Does my HOA need to approve the court?
Most Marana HOAs — including Dove Mountain, Gladden Farms, and Saguaro Bloom — require a submittal with site plan, color samples, and fence specs. We prepare that package for you.
What size court fits a typical Marana lot?
We design to your available space and setback requirements. Half-courts at 47×50 ft are the most common residential install. Practice slabs from 30×30 ft work for tighter lots.
Other Courts We Build in Marana
Basketball is one of five surfaces we install. All follow the same permit-coordinated, desert-engineered process.
