Backyard Pickleball Courts Like Those Featured on The Block

When Channel 9’s The Block aired a pickleball championship between contestants this season, the competition was fierce and the prize was highly sought after. Real estate expert and Block judge Marty Fox explained why. According to Marty, adding a court can dramatically increase property value. In fact, he has one at his own Toorak home and says his house price has “skyrocketed” ever since.

At Sports Courts Victoria, we are proud to supply a premium version of the type of court shown on The Block. Our backyard pickleball courts are designed for lifestyle and performance, and they can be installed quickly with both professional and DIY options available. Whether you have a courtyard, side yard or a larger space, we can create a court that suits any size, any shape, anywhere.

Pickleball is now one of the fastest growing sports in the world, with Australia already ranking fifth globally for participation. It combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, which makes it easy to learn yet competitive and engaging. The smaller court size compared to tennis makes it perfectly suited for backyards, courtyards and suburban blocks. More Australians are discovering the fun and social side of the game, and many are choosing to add a pickleball court at home so they can enjoy it anytime.

Our courts are built for playability and durability. They deliver consistent bounce, safe traction and a sleek finish that complements your home. With professional line markings, including optional Glow in the Dark linemarking, you can play day or night. Because we use modular or roll-out systems, installation is efficient, clean and simple. You get professional performance at a fraction of the cost of many traditional builds, with no compromise on quality or longevity.

Sports Courts Victoria has built a reputation as the trusted name in sports court construction. We proudly hold the highest review rating in the industry with a flawless 5-star Google record. With over 16 years specialising in sports courts and more than 20 years in civil construction and surface technology, our experience is unmatched. Our Slam Man™ courts have been featured in the Herald Sun Real Estate Guide for their property value impact, while our projects have appeared nationally on Channel 7 News for pickleball and on Channel 9’s Australia’s Best Houses for multi-sport installations.

Adding a court to your property is about more than fun. It creates a hub for family, friends and fitness, and it is an investment that increases appeal and value. Lifestyle buyers and families are actively seeking homes with these features, and having a court installed makes your property stand out in the market.
