Lighting is what turns a court you use occasionally into one you use most evenings. The design problem is spill. Badly aimed **LED sports floodlighting** puts as much light into your neighbour’s bedroom as onto your baseline, and that is how court projects turn into neighbourhood disputes and HOA complaints. We specify **dark-sky compliant luminaires** with **forward-throw optical distribution**, which means the optics push light down and forward onto the playing surface rather than scattering it sideways and up. Mounted on **galvanized steel lighting poles** set in engineered concrete footings, the design target is zero footcandles at the property line. That is not a claim we make on paper and leave. We produce a photometric plan before installation, showing light levels across the court and at the boundary, and after the fixtures go up we come back at night, run them, and adjust the aiming against what we actually see. The photometric plan is also what gets your lighting through HOA review. Committees reject applications that arrive with a product brochure and a promise. They approve ones that show them numbers. ### Common Problems We Solve #### Fences that come down in a storm Solid windscreen mesh catches wind like a sail, and North Texas gust fronts are not gentle. **HDPE windscreens** with blowout vents relieve the pressure through the fabric rather than transferring it into the posts. It is a small specification difference that saves a fence replacement. #### Balls in the neighbour’s yard On a sloped lot or a tight boundary, a standard fence height is not enough. Rather than raising the whole enclosure, we add taller ball-stop sections or **high-impact ball containment netting** on the runs where balls actually escape. #### Pickleball noise complaints Paddle strike is sharp and high-frequency, and it carries much further than people expect. **Acoustic barrier fabric** on the fence runs facing the nearest homes absorbs it rather than reflecting it, and orienting the court so strike direction points away from neighbours costs nothing if it is planned at design stage. #### Fencing an HOA will not approve Estate communities in Southlake, Colleyville, and Prosper rarely pass basic galvanised chain-link. We build with **vinyl-coated wire fabric**, ornamental iron, vinyl, and aluminium, and we know which of those each type of committee expects. ## Choosing the Right Fence for Your Court Fence height is driven by the sport. Tennis needs ten feet because lobs carry. Pickleball and basketball generally work at eight, sometimes lower on a flat lot with generous surround. The honest answer depends on your lot, and we will not sell you more fence than the court needs. Material is driven by your community. Chain-link with a vinyl coating in black or dark bronze is the most economical option and disappears visually far better than raw galvanised. Ornamental iron reads as landscaping rather than sports infrastructure and is what most estate ACCs prefer. Vinyl needs no maintenance and suits families who would rather not think about it again. Aluminium sits in between on both cost and appearance. Colour matters more than people expect. A dark fence against planting recedes; a silver one dominates the yard. We pick fence colour alongside your court surface scheme during 3D design so the whole thing reads as one considered installation. ## Why It Is Cheaper Installed With the Court Every part of this work involves the ground being open. Conduit for lighting, footings for poles, footings for fence posts, and any drainage adjustments all happen far more cheaply while excavation equipment is already on site and the slab has not been poured. Retrofitting lighting to a finished court means trenching around a slab you just paid for, working around finished landscaping, and protecting a new acrylic surface from equipment traffic. It is entirely doable, and we do it regularly, but it costs meaningfully more. If you are undecided about lighting during a new build, the cheapest hedge is to run the conduit and set the pole footings now, then add the luminaires whenever you are ready. The rough-in is a small part of the total, and it removes the expensive part of the decision from future you. Transparent Pricing ## How Much Does Lighting & Fencing Cost in Dallas?

Adding either during a new court build costs substantially less than retrofitting, because the ground is already open. Why Choose Us ## Why DFW Trusts Us With Lighting & Fencing ### Lighting designed for the property line Forward-throw optical distribution and dark-sky compliant luminaires put light on the court and nowhere else. We design to zero footcandles at the boundary, which is the number a neighbour or committee actually cares about. ### Photometric plans for HOA review Committees reject lighting applications that arrive without evidence. We supply a photometric plan showing coverage and spill, which is why our lighting submissions usually clear on the first pass. ### Screens that survive a gust front HDPE windscreens with blowout vents relieve wind pressure instead of transferring it into the posts. Solid mesh acts like a sail and takes fences down in North Texas storms. ### Real acoustic treatment for pickleball Paddle strike is a sharp, carrying sound. Acoustic barrier fabric on the neighbour-facing runs, combined with the right court orientation, is what keeps a backyard court from becoming a dispute. ### Four fencing materials, not one Chain-link with vinyl-coated wire fabric, ornamental iron, vinyl, or aluminium. Estate neighbourhoods like Southlake and Colleyville rarely approve basic chain-link, and we build what your community will actually pass. ### Cheaper installed with the court Conduit and footings go in while the ground is already open. Retrofitting lighting to a finished court means trenching around a slab you just paid for. Our Process ## How Our Lighting & Fencing Work Runs 1. 01 ### Site and neighbour review We look at where light and sound will land, not just where the court sits. That drives pole placement and which fence runs get treatment. 2. 02 ### Photometric plan A lighting plan showing coverage across the playing surface and spill at the property line, which is exactly what HOAs ask to see. 3. 03 ### Permits & HOA Fence height, material, and lighting are the top review items in DFW. We prepare and submit the packet free and handle questions. 4. 04 ### Footings & poles Engineered concrete footings for galvanised steel poles and fence posts, with conduit run while the ground is open. 5. 05 ### Fabric, screens & fixtures Fence fabric tensioned, windscreens and acoustic panels fitted, luminaires mounted and aimed to the photometric plan. 6. 06 ### Commission & walkthrough We run the lights at night, check spill at the boundary, adjust aiming, and hand over switching and controls. ## How Installers of Dallas Compares | Feature | Typical Contractor | Installers of Dallas | | --- | --- | --- | | Luminaire type | Generic flood fixtures | Forward-throw, dark-sky compliant | | Spill control | Not measured | Zero footcandle at property line | | HOA evidence | Product brochure | Full photometric plan | | Windscreens | Solid mesh, no vents | HDPE with blowout vents | | Pickleball noise | Not addressed | Acoustic barrier on key runs | | Fence options | Chain-link only | Chain-link, iron, vinyl, aluminium | ## Not sure Lighting & Fencing is the right fit?

They came back at night to check the aiming after install, which nobody else offered.” Sam & Whitney O. Windsong Ranch, Prosper Common Questions ## Lighting & Fencing FAQs Will court lights bother my neighbours? Not if they are designed properly. We use forward-throw optical distribution and dark-sky compliant luminaires, which push light down onto the playing surface rather than scattering it sideways and upward. The design target is zero footcandles at the property line, and we verify it by running the lights at night after installation and adjusting the aiming. Generic flood fixtures are the ones that cause problems. Do I need HOA approval for court lighting? In almost every DFW community, yes, and lighting is the item committees question most. We prepare a photometric plan showing light levels across the court and spill at the boundary, along with pole heights and fixture specifications. That evidence is why most of our lighting submissions clear on the first review, while applications sent with just a product brochure tend to stall. How much does court lighting cost? A typical single-court LED package runs around $12,000, covering poles, footings, luminaires, the electrical run, switching, and commissioning. Cost moves with pole count, how far the electrical service has to run, and court size. Installing lighting during a new court build is considerably cheaper than retrofitting, because the conduit goes in while the ground is already open. Can lighting be added to an existing court? Yes, though it costs more than including it in an original build. We have to trench for conduit around a finished slab and excavate pole footings without damaging the surface or drainage. It is routine work, just more of it. If you are on the fence about lighting during a new build, running the conduit and leaving the fixtures for later is the cheapest hedge. What fencing material should I choose? It usually comes down to what your community will approve and how the court sits in the landscape. Chain-link with vinyl-coated wire fabric is the most economical and the most common on functional courts. Ornamental iron and vinyl are what estate neighbourhoods like Southlake, Colleyville, and Prosper typically expect. Aluminium sits between them. We build all four and will tell you what your ACC is likely to pass. How tall should court fencing be? Ten feet is standard for tennis, where lobs carry. Pickleball and basketball generally work well at eight feet, sometimes lower on a flat lot with plenty of surround. Where a ball is likely to leave the property, on a sloped lot or a tight boundary, we add taller ball-stop sections or high-impact ball containment netting on the affected runs rather than raising the whole fence. What do windscreens actually do? They cut the wind that otherwise makes a ball unpredictable, and they add privacy. The important detail is blowout vents. Solid mesh catches wind like a sail, and North Texas gust fronts regularly take those fences down. HDPE windscreens with vents relieve the pressure instead of transferring it into the posts, which saves the fence. How do you reduce pickleball noise? Two things carry most of the result. First, orientation: pointing the paddle-strike direction away from the nearest home makes a real difference and costs nothing if it is planned at design stage. Second, acoustic barrier fabric on the fence runs facing neighbours, which absorbs rather than reflects the sharp high-frequency strike. Setback distance helps too, which is why acreage lots have fewer issues. Are LED lights expensive to run? No. LED sports luminaires draw a fraction of the power of the metal halide fixtures they replaced, and they reach full brightness instantly rather than needing a warm-up. For a residential court used a few evenings a week, the running cost is modest. They also last far longer between replacements, which matters when a fixture is thirty feet up a pole. Can you match the fencing to my court colours? Yes. Vinyl-coated chain-link fabric, powder-coated iron, and vinyl fencing all come in a range of colours, and we pick them alongside your court surface scheme during 3D design. Black and dark bronze read cleanly against most landscaping and disappear visually far better than galvanised silver. ### Still have a question?
