What We Build
Court Types & Surfaces
Pickleball Courts
The fastest-growing sport in America has found its home in Long Island backyards. We design and install regulation pickleball courts with premium acrylic surfaces, proper drainage, net posts, and optional LED lighting for evening play. Single courts, double courts, and multi-use configurations available.
Basketball Courts
Full-size and half-court basketball installations built to last. We use high-performance sport court tiles or poured acrylic over a properly graded concrete base — engineered for Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles. Adjustable hoops, court markings, and perimeter fencing included.
Tennis Courts
Regulation tennis courts designed for the serious player. Hard court, clay, and synthetic grass surfaces available. We handle everything from excavation and base preparation to surface installation, net posts, fencing, and lighting — built to USTA standards.
Multi-Sport Courts
One court, multiple games. Multi-sport surfaces combine pickleball, basketball, and volleyball in a single footprint — ideal for families who want maximum versatility from their outdoor space. Custom court markings and color schemes available.
Bocce & Shuffleboard
Classic outdoor games elevated to luxury standards. We build regulation bocce courts with crushed oyster shell or synthetic surfaces, and custom shuffleboard courts integrated into pool decks and outdoor living areas.
Our Approach
Integrated Into Your Outdoor Design
Most sport court contractors drop a surface in your yard and leave. Cardi Design & Build integrates your court into the full outdoor environment — with landscaping that screens the court from neighbors, lighting that extends play into the evening, fencing that complements your property's architecture, and drainage that protects your investment for decades.
We've built sport courts on estates in Brookville, Jericho, Syosset, Dix Hills, and throughout Long Island. Every project is engineered for Long Island's climate — freeze-thaw cycles, salt air near the water, and the heavy rainfall that drains poorly on clay soils.

FAQ
Sport Court Questions
How much does a sport court cost on Long Island?
Sport court costs vary by size, surface type, and site conditions. A standard pickleball court typically ranges from $25,000–$45,000 installed. A full basketball court runs $35,000–$65,000. Tennis courts start around $50,000. We provide detailed project estimates during your free consultation.
How long does sport court installation take?
Most sport court installations take 2–4 weeks from groundbreaking to completion, depending on site conditions and surface type. We handle all excavation, base preparation, surface installation, and finishing in a single coordinated project.
Can a sport court be integrated into an existing landscape design?
Absolutely. Our landscape architects design sport courts as part of the overall outdoor environment — with proper screening, lighting, fencing, and landscaping that makes the court feel like a natural extension of your property rather than an afterthought.
Do sport courts require permits on Long Island?
Yes, most sport court installations require a building permit in Nassau and Suffolk County. Cardi Design & Build handles all permitting as part of the project — we know the local codes and have established relationships with municipal building departments across Long Island.
What surface is best for a backyard pickleball court?
For Long Island's climate, we recommend a post-tensioned concrete base with an acrylic sport surface coating. This combination handles freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt, provides consistent ball bounce, and can be resurfaced every 8–12 years to extend the court's life.
