Court Builds
From bare ground to a lined, hooped court ready for daily play, base prep included.
What Goes Wrong
The failure modes below are predictable and preventable, each one comes down to a step that was skipped early in the build.
A surface poured over undetected slope collects standing water at one end and drains unevenly, making the court unsafe and accelerating surface wear.
An on-site slope measurement and drainage review happens before any base material is ordered, so the finished surface sheds water correctly.
Skipping sub-base compaction leaves voids beneath the slab; freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement crack the surface within one to two seasons.
The sub-base is compacted to a confirmed depth before pouring concrete or asphalt, removing the voids that cause cracking.
Choosing a surface without checking soil type, climate, or site drainage leads to a court that shifts, heaves, or degrades faster than expected.
Concrete slab, asphalt base, or modular sports tiles are selected after the base-condition report, not before the site has been evaluated.
A single-line quote hides grading, excavation, and drainage costs; surprises appear mid-build when stopping is more expensive than continuing.
The written estimate separates base preparation, surfacing, line marking, equipment placement, and cure times so every cost is visible upfront.
Scope of Work
Each build is scoped to the site, surface type, court size, and hoop setup are confirmed after the on-site evaluation, not before.
A poured concrete slab with sub-base compaction delivers a rigid, low-maintenance playing surface suited to permanent residential or commercial courts.
An asphalt base provides a cost-effective foundation with good drainage characteristics, finished with acrylic colour coating and regulation line striping.
Interlocking polypropylene tiles install over an existing flat base, offering a cushioned surface and straightforward reconfiguration if the layout changes.
A standard residential half court at 30 x 50 ft fits most backyard sites and includes a full key, three-point arc, and single hoop mount.
A regulation full court at 94 x 50 ft suits school, park, or commercial sites and includes dual hoops, full line package, and acrylic surfacing.
Slope correction and drainage provision before base work begins.
UV-stable acrylic applied over cured concrete or asphalt base.
Key, three-point arc, and boundary lines to standard dimensions.
Anchor depth and backboard alignment checked before sign-off.
Why Choose Us
Every enquiry is handled the same way: an on-site evaluation first, a written estimate second, and a final walkthrough before the project closes.
Slope, drainage, and soil condition are documented on-site before a surface or price is proposed.
Base prep, surfacing, line marking, equipment placement, and cure times appear as separate line items.
We scope your project and schedule every stage, from the on-site evaluation through to the final walkthrough, so nothing is handled remotely.
Lines, anchor depth, backboard alignment, and surface finish are all verified before the project is signed off.
Backyard half courts, school full courts, and community multi-sport areas are all within the enquiry service’s scope.
