Questions

How It Works

Can one court work for basketball, pickleball, and tennis?

Yes. A shared court handles all three with the right line layout, color-coding, and equipment placement. The main limits are the available footprint and how the court is configured for each sport. A site measurement confirms what fits before the base is planned.

Do I need a concrete slab, or will another base work?

Not always concrete. Concrete is the most common choice for residential courts, but asphalt suits larger footprints where soil movement is a concern. A local builder selects the base material after assessing your site’s soil conditions and footprint size.

What has to happen before the surface goes in?

The site needs measurement, grading, and drainage planning first. A base poured onto unleveled or poorly drained ground will shift and crack. All of that groundwork is scoped and documented in the written estimate before any surfacing is scheduled.

Will the court feel too cramped for more than one sport?

It can if the layout is not planned around the available yard size. A good layout keeps lines readable and leaves enough run-off space around each sport’s playing area. The site assessment confirms the footprint before the line plan is drawn up.

What happens if I delay the project while my yard needs grading?

Delaying is fine, but an ungraded yard left open to rain can erode further and increase the grading scope. Getting the site assessment done early locks in the current grading requirement and prevents the estimate from changing due to additional soil movement.

Why does surface coating matter more in California than elsewhere?

California’s year-round sun and Southern California heat accelerate wear on thin or under-specified acrylic coatings. A surface that might last a decade in a cooler climate can degrade in a few years here if coating thickness and recoat intervals are not matched to local conditions.
