Where to spend and where not to

Spend on the base; it is the one thing you cannot fix later without tearing everything out. You can add fencing and lighting in phases, choose a standard acrylic over a cushioned system, and skip decorative extras. What you should never trim is base thickness and drainage, because those decide whether the court stays flat and true.
