Tell us who will skate it, what they want to ride and where it needs to fit. We’ll help shape a custom wood or concrete setup around the space, site conditions, budget and long-term upkeep.
A custom backyard path may fit when...
A custom build may be the better fit when a standard ramp kit cannot match the riders, space or setup you want.
You want one setup built around the way your household skates.
The available space needs a layout made around its real dimensions and access.
You need features or a configuration beyond a current standard kit.
You are ready to plan the build, budget, site work and upkeep as one project.

What it takes to build at home
A backyard park is more than the ramp itself. Plan for the riders, available space, access, site preparation, budget and what the park will need over time before work begins.
1
Send the space and skating brief
Share who will skate, what they want to ride, the project location, approximate dimensions and clear photos or plans of the available area.
2
Review fit and site conditions
The review considers the full skating footprint, approach and roll-away room, access, slope, existing surface, drainage and known property or approval constraints.
3
Develop the concept and quote
OC Ramps shapes a proposed layout, ramps and obstacles, material plan, responsibilities and price around the actual site and how it will be skated.
4
Prepare the site and build
Before work begins, the proposal should make site readiness, access, delivery, site work, construction and installation responsibilities clear.
5
Hand off and keep it ready
At handoff, the owner receives the project-specific care, inspection, maintenance and support information included in the agreed scope.
Plan the whole project, not just the ramp
The final quote depends on the actual site and scope. These checklists show the inputs that can change fit, work and cost.
Space and Site
Usable area: Measure the available length and width at the narrowest points.
Skating clearance: Include approach, roll-away, deck access and room around the feature.
Ground and drainage: Note the existing surface, slope, drainage and any visible site issue.
Build access: Record gates, stairs, overhead limits and space for material delivery and staging.
Budget and Ownership
Design and features: Layout, dimensions, transitions, bowls, rails, ledges and custom details affect scope.
Foundation and site work: Demolition, grading, drainage, utilities and supporting work must be assigned and priced.
Delivery and installation: Distance, access, crew, equipment and site readiness can change the project.
Surface and upkeep: Include the chosen finish, inspection, maintenance, repair and future replacement needs.
Show us the space and how you want to skate it
You do not need a finished plan. Approximate measurements, clear photos and honest budget and timing context make the first review more useful.
Backyard skatepark questions, answered
Start with the riders and the real site. Space, material, site work, budget and ownership requirements can change the right answer.
How much space do I need for a backyard skatepark?
Measure more than the obstacle itself. A useful review needs the available length and width, approach and roll-away room, deck or access areas, surrounding clearance, gates and build access. Slope, drainage, utilities and the existing surface can also change what fits. Send approximate dimensions and photos before settling on a layout.
Should my backyard park be wood or concrete?
OC Ramps offers both custom wood and custom concrete project paths. The best fit depends on the riders, desired terrain, site, access, intended life, budget, maintenance, local requirements and work already planned for the property. Confirm the material and each party’s responsibility in the written project scope.
How much does a custom backyard skatepark cost?
The cost depends on the actual layout, size, features, material, foundation or site work, drainage, access, delivery, equipment, installation and other contracted responsibilities. A project-specific review is more useful than a starting number without assumptions. Share a working budget or range so the team can assess whether the desired scope is realistic.
What site preparation may be needed?
Site preparation can include access planning, demolition, grading, drainage, a supporting surface or foundation, utilities and material staging. The exact need depends on the site and project type. Before starting, confirm the required work and who is responsible for it in the written project scope.
Do I need permits, HOA approval or another property approval?
Requirements vary by property and location. Check the local building or planning requirements, HOA or lease restrictions, setbacks, noise rules and other conditions that apply to your site. Document which approvals and professional services belong to the owner, OC Ramps or another party before work begins.
Can OC Ramps install the backyard skatepark?
Installation availability and scope depend on the project type, location, access, site readiness, crew schedule and proposal. Include the location and desired timing in the intake. The team can confirm whether installation is available and what preparation or client responsibilities apply.
