From Basic Backyard To Luxury Pickleball & Outdoor Living Space
The Ultimate Backyard Transformation
What started as a standard backyard is now a fully integrated outdoor living space centered around a custom pickleball court, designed for entertaining, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment.
This project combines:
- Custom pickleball court
- Raised heckler’s patio
- Retaining wall system
- Fire features and gathering areas
- Walkways and outdoor connectivity
- Water feature with koi pond
👉 The result is a space the homeowners never want to leave.
This project is a great example of a luxury pickleball court installation
“The court is the centerpiece — but the entire space is what makes it special.”
With a custom pickleball court, raised heckler’s patio, fire features, and a beautifully designed outdoor layout, this project became a true destination for entertaining and everyday enjoyment.

THE CLIENT GOAL
The Vision
The goal was not just to install a pickleball court.
The homeowners wanted fun and relaxing resort style feel that includes:
- A large, functional outdoor space for entertaining
- A clean, mud-free yard (especially with dogs)
- A central feature that would bring people together
- A space that felt complete, not pieced together
👉 This required more than a single installation
👉 It required a full outdoor design approach
Before The Transformation
Before the project, the space lacked:
- usable entertaining areas
- clean transitions around the home
- structured outdoor layout
- a defined gathering space
⭐ Featured Testimonial⭐
“This space completely transformed our home.”
Back in 2023, Liban Landscape replaced our deck with a beautiful paver patio and walkway, creating an incredible space to entertain and relax around the fire. They even ran a gas line so we could enjoy a fire table and grill without the hassle of propane tanks.
In 2024, they took it to another level with a pickleball court on the side of our house. While the court is the centerpiece, the “heckler’s patio” next to it has become just as popular, with seating and another fire feature where friends and family gather.
They also built a stunning 30-inch stone wall around the court that fits the space perfectly and keeps balls contained, which means more time playing and less time chasing.
To top it all off, they added a beautiful koi pond with a waterfall. Our family loves it, especially hearing the water at night.
Someone recently asked if we would sell our home for the right price. Two years ago, maybe. Now, absolutely not. We love this space way too much to leave.
