Court Builders
One surface that handles basketball, pickleball, and more, built on a properly graded base that holds up season after season.
What Goes Wrong
The surface you play on is only as good as the decisions made before the first tile is laid.
A base without a 1% drainage gradient pools water under the tiles, softening the sub-base and causing surface movement within a few seasons.
The local builder grades the base to a 1% slope before any surface goes down, so water clears the court and the sub-base stays stable.
Acrylic coating over a cracked or heaving base chips and peels; interlocking tiles over an uneven slab produce raised seams that affect ball bounce and footing.
The site assessment determines whether tiles or acrylic coating suit the existing base condition, climate, and the games the court will be used for.
Gaps or raised tile edges from poor seam alignment change ball bounce on a basketball layout and create trip hazards on a pickleball court.
Surface flatness is verified after the tile grid is locked and before line marking begins, so seam alignment meets playability tolerances.
Multi-sport courts with poorly planned line layouts create visual confusion mid-game, making it hard to distinguish basketball boundaries from pickleball lines.
Each sport’s regulation dimensions are laid out and colour-coded separately, so basketball, pickleball, and other game lines read clearly during play.
Scope of Work
From base condition to the final line marking, each stage of the build is scoped and itemised before work starts.
The concrete or asphalt base is assessed, leveled, and graded to a 1% drainage slope before any surface system is placed.
Underlayment is installed where the base condition requires it, providing a consistent sub-surface that supports tile performance and reduces impact.
Sport court tiles rated for 15-plus years are laid and locked in a grid pattern, with seam alignment checked against surface flatness tolerances.
Where an acrylic-coated slab suits the site, the coating is applied in layers over a sound concrete base with cure times confirmed in the estimate.
Basketball, pickleball, and other game lines are marked to regulation dimensions and colour-coded so each sport’s boundaries read clearly on the same surface.
In-ground or surface-mount hoop anchored to the court.
Regulation net posts set at correct court width.
Existing base corrected to playable flatness tolerance.
Footprint measured to confirm game dimensions fit the site.
Why Choose Us
Every enquiry is handled the same way: an on-site evaluation first, an itemised written estimate second, and a final walkthrough before the project closes.
Every enquiry starts with an on-site base evaluation and a written condition report, no guesswork, no lump-sum quotes.
Base prep, surfacing, line marking, equipment placement, and cure times are listed as separate line items so the scope is clear upfront.
We connect backyard, school, and commercial court projects with local builders who know regional climate conditions and base requirements.
We arrange the schedule and a final walkthrough to verify lines, anchors, and surface finish before the project is closed out.
Basketball, pickleball, and other game lines are scoped together from the start so the layout fits every intended sport on the same surface.
