Pool & Backyard Design-Build in Phoenix and Scottsdale

Quick answer: Licensed pool and landscape partners handle the pool and landscape work; Dink Pro Courts builds the court. If you want a pool, 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 around the pool and landscape areas, and coordinates the court schedule with your licensed partners.

Experienced Team / 20+ Years Experience.

Important: Dink Pro Courts does not hold an Arizona pool or landscape contractor license and does not design or build swimming pools or landscapes. Pool and landscape design and construction are performed by independently licensed pool and landscape partners. Sport court construction is performed by Dink.

Why the court should be planned with the pool and landscape

Most Phoenix and Scottsdale backyards fail when the pool, hardscape, and court are sequenced as afterthoughts. Drainage fights the pool deck. The court pad steals the only flat pad left. Fencing and lighting conflict with HOA rules. Planning the court early, alongside your licensed pool and landscape partners, fixes that:

1. Court plan for your yard — how you want to play, and where the court fits beside the pool and landscape areas.
2. Pool and landscape scope by licensed partners — pool shape, equipment, decking and water features, plus planting, irrigation and hardscape, are designed and built by licensed pool and 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 partners’ work so nobody tears out finished work.
5. Clear roles — Licensed pool and landscape partners handle the pool and landscape work; Dink Pro Courts builds the court.

Phoenix section: heat, monsoon, and lot realities

Phoenix installs deal with 110°F+ summers, intense UV, monsoon downpours, and caliche or expansive soils. For the court, that means proper slope and drainage, a base built for desert soils, and acrylic systems chosen for Arizona sun. For the pool and landscape, your licensed pool and landscape partners address structure, plumbing, equipment pads, planting, irrigation and code — we plan the court so it doesn’t fight that work.

Neighborhoods we commonly discuss with homeowners: Arcadia, Biltmore, Ahwatukee, North Phoenix, Desert Ridge, and surrounding Phoenix pockets with room for a court pad beside a pool.

Scottsdale section: estate lots and outdoor living

Scottsdale and near-Scottsdale lots often support larger outdoor programs: pool, spa, covered patio, and a full pickleball or sport court. Views, setbacks, and HOA design guidelines matter. We plan court orientation for sun and neighbors, then plan court fencing, windscreens, and lighting that fit the property, while your licensed pool and landscape partners handle the pool and landscape work, including pool engineering and finish selections.

How the process works

1. Send photos or request a visit — lot size, HOA docs if you have them, and how you want to use the yard.
2. Court layout — where the Dink court sits relative to the pool and landscape areas your licensed partners design, plus circulation.
3. Pool and landscape work — Licensed pool and landscape partners handle the pool and landscape work; Dink Pro Courts builds the court. We coordinate the court schedule with them.
4. Court design — use our Court Designer or a guided layout session.
5. Build sequence — pool and landscape work by licensed partners, then the Dink court base, surface, and court punch list.
6. Play — court walkthrough with Dink; pool startup and landscape handoff by your licensed partners.
