School Sport Court Construction in Montana

Playground basketball, PE courts, and competition surfaces built to survive decades of student use — and installed inside the summer window your calendar demands.

School courts may be the hardest-working concrete in Montana: hundreds of students daily, every season, with zero tolerance for trip hazards or closures during the academic year. Montana Court Company builds playground and athletic courts for districts and private schools with that duty cycle in mind — 4–5 inch reinforced concrete over compaction-tested base, commercial acrylic surfaces with texture specified for student safety, and striping laid out for PE curriculum flexibility, from regulation basketball to pickleball, four square, and game lines.

We also understand school realities: board approvals, procurement rules, prevailing-wage documentation where applicable, and above all the summer construction window. Montana's build season and the school calendar overlap almost perfectly, and we sequence school projects to break ground after the last bell and hand over finished courts before fall registration. Licensed, insured, background-checked crews, and a written warranty your facilities director can file and forget.

Playground courts typically run $50,000–$110,000; resurfacing existing school courts costs a fraction of new construction and is often the right first step.

FAQs

School Courts Questions, Answered

Can you really complete a court over summer break?
Yes — it is how we schedule every school project. A typical playground court takes six to nine weeks including the roughly 28-day concrete cure before acrylic surfacing, which fits comfortably inside a June-to-late-August window. The key is completing design and procurement during the school year so we can mobilize the week after classes end. Projects approved by spring break are safely on schedule.
What does a school court cost?
Playground basketball courts typically run $50,000–$110,000 depending on size and site conditions; multi-court PE complexes and competition-oriented facilities range higher. Resurfacing existing school courts — often the smartest first step for districts with aging slabs — runs a fraction of new construction. We provide budget-planning numbers early so projects can be scoped to available funds honestly.
How do you handle safety on an active campus?
Work zones are fully fenced and signed, crew members are identified and checked in, equipment is secured or removed daily, and haul routes are agreed with your staff in advance. When summer programs share the campus, we coordinate schedules so students and machinery never mix. Our crews carry full insurance documentation, and we comply with any district-specific contractor requirements, including background checks.
What striping works best for PE classes?
We recommend a primary sport in full-contrast lines — usually basketball — with pickleball, volleyball, and four square in distinct secondary colors. A regulation 20'×44' pickleball layout fits inside most playground basketball pads, and pickleball has become a PE staple. We design the layout with your PE staff so the lines teachers actually need make it onto the court.
Our existing courts are cracked. Repair or replace?
It depends on what is under them. Hairline surface cracks and worn color can be corrected with crack repair and resurfacing at a fraction of replacement cost. Structural cracking, heaving panels, or chronic drainage failures usually indicate base problems that resurfacing cannot fix — money spent coating a failing slab is wasted. We inspect at no charge and give districts a straight answer either way.
