Court Lighting & Fencing in Greensboro

You can do either one on its own. Fencing alone makes sense if you only play during daylight and just need balls contained. Lighting alone works if your perimeter is already solid. Most homeowners find that combining both in one project saves on mobilization and avoids disturbing the court surface twice.

Replace rather than repair when posts are leaning, footings are cracked, or more than roughly a third of the mesh is torn or rusted through. Patching isolated sections on a structurally sound frame is fine, but widespread corrosion or multiple failing posts means the whole fence is near the end of its life and repairs will keep compounding.

Properly aimed LED fixtures with shielded optics direct light onto the court surface rather than into players’ eyes. Glare is almost always a symptom of fixtures mounted too low, aimed at the wrong angle, or lacking cutoff shields. A site evaluation confirms the right pole height and beam angle for your specific court dimensions before any hardware is ordered.

Even coverage depends on fixture count, pole placement, and beam spread, all of which are calculated during the site evaluation for your specific court size. A standard residential tennis or pickleball court typically needs poles at each corner plus mid-court positions to eliminate dark spots. The layout is confirmed in the written estimate before installation starts.

Yes, when the fence height matches the sport. Tennis courts typically use 10-foot fencing on the ends and 6-foot on the sides; pickleball courts generally use 8-foot perimeter fencing. The site evaluation confirms the right spec for your court type and any slope or wind exposure that might require taller sections.

In most cases, yes. Post footings are placed outside the court boundary so the playing surface stays intact. The on-site evaluation checks your current layout, surface condition, and available clearance to confirm that new fencing and pole positions integrate cleanly without requiring changes to the court itself.

The most common cost drivers found after work begins are unstable soil requiring deeper footings, buried roots or debris that slow excavation, and electrical supply that is farther from the court than expected. The itemised written estimate covers known conditions; any hidden site issue is flagged before additional work proceeds so you can approve the change.

In most cases they will. Poles and posts are positioned outside the court boundary, so the playing surface and line markings stay untouched. The on-site evaluation identifies any clearance constraints or drainage features that might require minor adjustments to pole placement before the estimate is written.
