Backyard to Full Facility
A finished court with the right base, surface, and markings, ready for year-round play.
What Goes Wrong
A base poured over uneven or poorly compacted ground will crack and shift within a few seasons of use.
The builder excavates, fills, and compacts the sub-base to the correct depth before any concrete or asphalt is poured.
Asphalt without a sealer degrades quickly in Charlotte’s heat, leaving a rough, uneven surface that’s hard on joints.
Concrete, asphalt, or modular tiles are chosen based on drainage conditions, budget, and how the court will be used.
Anchoring a hoop post after the base has cured means the sleeve isn’t integrated, and the backboard can shift over time.
In-ground post sleeves are placed during the base pour so the backboard sits at regulation height and stays fixed.
A flat court with no surface slope traps water at the baseline after rain, accelerating surface wear and creating a slip hazard.
The builder sets a minimum 1% surface slope and confirms runoff direction before the base material is placed.
Scope of Work
From a single backyard half court to a full multi-use facility, every build follows the same staged process.
A 4-inch reinforced concrete slab is the most durable outdoor base, holding acrylic color coating without surface flex.
Asphalt costs less upfront than concrete and suits larger footprints, but requires sealing to resist Charlotte’s summer heat.
Interlocking polypropylene tiles install over a compacted aggregate base and drain freely through the tile joints.
A 42 ft x 50 ft half court fits most Charlotte backyard lots and includes a three-point arc, key, and single hoop.
A regulation 94 ft x 50 ft full court with dual hoops, center circle, and complete line package for school or facility use.
In-ground post sleeves anchored during the base pour support a backboard system set at the regulation 10-foot rim height.
UV-stable finish applied over cured concrete or asphalt.
Three-point arc, key, free-throw line, and center circle.
Ground leveled and compacted before any base is poured.
Hardwood or rubber flooring for gym and recreation spaces.
