Backyard Court Cost in Winston-Salem: What Drives the Price

Wondering what a backyard court really costs around Winston-Salem? Here are published national ranges, what pushes the number up or down, and how to get a real price.

Published ranges

These figures come from national sources, not local quotes. Real projects can land above or below them.

• The Angi 2026 backyard multi-sport court cost guide puts the national average at about $40,000, with most homeowners spending $20,000 to $70,000.
• The same guide lists a 30 by 30 foot half-court at about $10,000 to $25,000 and a compact 30 by 50 foot multi-sport court at about $20,000 to $40,000.
• It lists surface costs of roughly $10 to $20 per square foot depending on material, and permit fees of about $100 to $1,000 depending on location.
• The VersaCourt game court cost page, from a court tile maker, gives a lower range of about $6,200 to $19,000 for a game court, and says concrete slabs to its spec typically run $4 to $10 per square foot.

The sources differ because they define a court differently. Costs vary with size, site, and contractor.

Rolling Piedmont lots often need grading or retaining to get a flat pad, and clay soils make drainage planning important. Truck access, tree removal, fencing, and lighting add cost. HOA and permit requirements can also shape the design.
