Court Builders
A level, durable court built to play on year-round, graded, surfaced, and finished to a written scope.
What Goes Wrong & Why
Cutting corners on any single phase creates problems that show up across the whole court.
Southern California clay soil expands and contracts seasonally; a base placed over uninspected subgrade shifts and cracks within a few seasons.
A soil and slope assessment is completed before any base material is placed, so the court sits on stable, verified ground.
Concrete or asphalt placed and surfaced too quickly traps moisture, which breaks the bond between base and acrylic coating and causes delamination.
The base is compacted, cured to the required depth, and inspected before acrylic surfacing begins, each layer bonds to a fully set layer below.
A court built without a designed surface slope pools water at the baseline after rain, making the court unplayable and accelerating surface wear.
Drainage is engineered into the base grade so water clears the playing surface after rain rather than sitting on it.
Standard acrylic coatings fade and chalk within two seasons under Los Angeles County’s year-round sun, leaving lines illegible and the surface slick.
UV-stable acrylic coating is applied in multiple passes with the recoat interval observed, so color and grip hold up under sustained sun exposure.
Scope of Work
Every element from raw ground to a playable, finished court is handled in sequence.
Sloped or clay-heavy ground is graded and stabilized so the base layer sits on soil that will not shift with seasonal moisture changes.
The base layer is compacted and cured to the required depth before any surface coating is applied, giving the court its structural foundation.
UV-stable acrylic coating is laid in multiple passes over the cured base, with each layer bonded and dried before the next coat is applied.
Surface slope and drainage channels are set into the base so water clears the court after rain rather than pooling at the baseline or sidelines.
Fencing is installed and net posts are set in concrete footings at regulation spacing before line marking begins, so layouts do not conflict.
Regulation lines are applied as the final step, with a walkthrough confirming every element against the written scope before sign-off.
Full build on single-family lots, including grading.
Multi-court builds for shared residential facilities.
Court construction for school and institutional sites.
New courts for clubs, hotels, and managed properties.
