Scope & Build
One enquiry covers every court type, we scope the job and arrange a local builder to evaluate your site and deliver a written estimate.
Every Court Type
From a backyard basketball slab to a full padel build, each service starts with a base evaluation and a written estimate, not a phone guess.
From drainage grading to seam-locked modular tiles, every stage is scoped before work begins.
Concrete slab, asphalt base, or modular tiles, each option scoped to your site’s slope and drainage.
Asphalt or concrete base, acrylic surface coating, and regulation striping, built to drain and hold its finish.
A 20 x 44 ft playing area needs a minimum 30 x 60 ft footprint, site clearance is confirmed before base work starts.
Interlocking tiles rated for 15-plus years sit on a concrete or asphalt base graded to a 1% drainage slope.
Steel frame, tempered glass walls, artificial turf, and court lighting, each stage scoped to your site conditions.
A regulation court requires 20 x 40 ft of floor space and a minimum 20 ft ceiling, both confirmed before framing starts.
New 400-meter layouts and resurfacing jobs both start with a base and drainage assessment before surface system selection.
Surface bond testing and crack filling come before any acrylic coating is applied, skipping prep causes early peeling.
Crack filling, low-spot patching, and adhesion promoter application come before any acrylic coating layer is laid down.
Two acrylic coating layers applied after crack patching and leveling restore a consistent, even playing surface.
Crack width, drainage condition, and base stability are assessed before any filler or patching compound is applied.
Post anchors, mounting brackets, and net tensioning hardware are checked for alignment and stability before sign-off.
In-ground poles are set in a concrete foundation with a minimum 48-hour cure time before the backboard is mounted.
Slope, sub-base condition, and drainage checked on-site before any estimate is written.
Every line item listed: base prep, surfacing, line marking, and cure times.
Coating recommendations account for freeze-thaw cycles or southern heat and humidity.
Court dimensions and line placement confirmed to sport-specific standards.
Hoops, net posts, and anchor hardware positioned and checked for stability.
Surface finish, lines, and anchors verified before the project is signed off.
Why Us
A general contractor can pour concrete. Getting a court that drains correctly, plays evenly, and holds its finish through local weather takes a different starting point.
Every enquiry triggers an on-site check of slope, drainage, and sub-base condition, not a phone estimate.
Written estimates break out base prep, surfacing, line marking, equipment placement, and cure times as separate line items.
Basketball, tennis, pickleball, padel, and running tracks each have distinct build requirements, we scope each one separately.
The surfacing option is matched to your region: freeze-thaw cycles in the north call for different coatings than southern heat and humidity.
We arrange the build schedule and a final walkthrough, nothing closes until lines, anchors, and surface finish are physically checked.
Common Failure Modes
Most court problems trace back to a step that was skipped at the start, not a material that failed.
Filling cracks without correcting base movement or drainage means the repair reopens within one season as water re-enters the sub-base.
The local builder assesses crack width, base stability, and drainage before any filler or patching compound is applied.
Applying acrylic coating over a surface that failed a bond test, or before cure time is complete, causes the finish to lift within a season.
Resurfacing starts with a surface bond test and pressure wash; cure times are listed in the written estimate before work is scheduled.
A slab or asphalt base without a confirmed 1% drainage slope holds standing water after rain, accelerating surface wear and sub-base damage.
Drainage gradient is measured during the on-site evaluation; slope correction is scoped and priced before the base layer is laid.
A pickleball or padel build started without confirming available clearance often requires costly rework when the footprint falls short of regulation minimums.
Available space, clearance, and ceiling height where relevant are confirmed at the on-site evaluation before any estimate is written.
Who We Work With
The build process is the same regardless of who owns the site, an on-site evaluation, a written estimate, and a final walkthrough.
Homeowners adding a backyard basketball court, pickleball area, or multi-sport surface to their property. We scope the available space, arrange a local builder to evaluate base condition and drainage, and deliver an itemised written estimate covering every stage from sub-base prep to regulation line marking.
Commercial property owners and managers adding or restoring courts at apartment complexes, resorts, or private clubs. We arrange on-site evaluations for tennis, padel, pickleball, and multi-sport builds, with written estimates that break out base preparation, surfacing, equipment placement, and cure times.
Schools, parks departments, and community centers maintaining or expanding outdoor and indoor court facilities. We scope resurfacing, repair, and new-build projects, basketball courts, running tracks, and multi-sport areas, and arrange local builders with court-specific experience for each job.
How It Works
01
Tell us the property type, available space, current surface condition, and any drainage or settlement issues you have noticed.
02
A local court builder visits to assess base condition, slope, and drainage, then delivers an itemised written estimate covering every stage of the work.
03
Once you approve the estimate, we arrange the build schedule and a final walkthrough to confirm lines, anchors, and surface finish before sign-off.
