About this Service
Tennis court installation is the end-to-end work to build a playable, regulation-aligned surface from subgrade to game lines. It fits homeowners converting yards, schools and clubs adding courts, and parks replacing worn surfaces. The core outcome is a stable base, effective drainage, and a surface finish that provides consistent ball bounce and grip for the intended pace category.

About this Service
Tennis court installation is the end-to-end work to build a playable, regulation-aligned surface from subgrade to game lines. It fits homeowners converting yards, schools and clubs adding courts, and parks replacing worn surfaces. The core outcome is a stable base, effective drainage, and a surface finish that provides consistent ball bounce and grip for the intended pace category.
Typical specification items include excavation and subgrade compaction to engineered bearing, a compacted aggregate subbase (commonly 4–6 inches), and either a reinforced concrete slab (4–6 inches) or a hot-mix asphalt wearing course (2–4 inches) over the base. Finished slope for drainage is generally set at 0.5–1.0 percent across the court. Surface systems are applied in layers: acrylic or polyurethane playing coatings in multiple thin passes (total dry film commonly 2–3 mm), textured topcoats for grip, and 2-inch game lines laid to USTA regulation layouts when competition play is required.
Practical expectations: plan for a site evaluation and itemized base-condition report before a quote. Concrete typically needs 7 days before coating; asphalt often needs 14–28 days to stabilize. Drainage fixes, subbase reconstruction, or permit delays are common cost drivers. Quotes should list materials, cure times, and expected downtime. We help arrange the site evaluation, specify base and surfacing, and coordinate local on-site teams to deliver the agreed scope and layout checks.
