Landscape & Backyard Design-Build in Phoenix and Scottsdale

Quick answer: Licensed landscape partners handle the landscape work; Dink Pro Courts builds the court. If you want new landscaping and a pickleball, tennis, basketball, or multi-sport court in the same Phoenix or Scottsdale backyard, Dink plans and builds the court to fit the yard, and coordinates the court schedule with your licensed landscape contractor, who designs and installs the planting, irrigation, grading and hardscape in their scope.

Experienced Team / 20+ Years Experience.

Important: Dink Pro Courts does not hold an Arizona landscape contractor license and does not design or install landscaping. Landscape design and construction are performed by independently licensed landscape partners. Sport court construction is performed by Dink.

Why the court should be planned with the landscape

Arizona yards run out of flat, well-drained space fast. If landscaping and hardscape take the only court-sized pad, or if irrigation and grading ignore a future court, homeowners pay twice. Planning the court early, alongside your licensed landscape contractor, fixes that:

1. Court plan for your yard — how you want to play, and where the court fits beside the planting, patio and shade areas.
2. Landscape scope by licensed partners — planting plans, irrigation, soil, grading and hardscape are designed and built by licensed landscape partners (their licenses, their warranties).
3. Court scope via Dink — orientation, base, acrylic surface, striping, net, optional fencing and LED lighting.
4. Shared schedule — court excavation, utilities and curing sequenced with the landscape work so nobody tears out finished work.
5. Clear roles — Licensed landscape partners handle the landscape work; Dink Pro Courts builds the court.

Who does what

• Sport court: Dink Pro Courts — base, surface, striping, net, optional fence and lighting.
• Court schedule and court edges: Dink Pro Courts — the court timeline and the court-to-landscape transitions, shared with your landscape contractor.
• Landscape and softscape: licensed landscape partner — planting plans, irrigation, soil and desert-adapted plantings.
• Hardscape (as scoped): licensed landscape partner — patios, seat walls and pathways that tie into the court edges.
• Pool (if in scope): licensed pool contractor — see pool and backyard design-build, or court layouts for pool and pickleball backyards.

Phoenix: desert landscape and play space

Phoenix homeowners often want low-water planting, shade and an entertainment zone that still leaves room to play. Your licensed landscape contractor designs the planting and shade. On the court side, we plan:

• Court orientation for sun and neighbors
• Drainage away from the court pad
• Transitions from decomposed granite or pavers to the court edge
• Clearance for the landscape contractor’s screen planting without trapping monsoon water on the slab

Scottsdale: outdoor living with a court

Scottsdale lots often lean into outdoor kitchens, fire features and clean modern hardscape. A pickleball or sport court belongs in that plan when it is designed with the same materials and lighting, not dropped in as a leftover rectangle. Licensed landscape partners own the plant and hardscape selections; Dink builds the court. See pickleball court construction in Scottsdale.

Backyard renovation and remodeling

Many projects are renovations: tired turf, outdated hardscape, or a yard that never had a play plan. Dink builds the court; your licensed landscape contractor designs and builds the landscape and hardscape:

• Full backyard remodel: new Dink court plus a landscape refresh by your licensed landscape contractor
• Entertainment area: your landscape designer lays out seating and shade; we place the court so it works with their plan
• Add a court to an existing landscape: see how to screen or landscape around a pickleball court
