Regulation Build
A regulation-size court on a stable, well-drained base, ready to play and built to last.
Built Right the First Time
The most common failures come from skipping steps that are invisible once the surface goes down.
Clay-heavy soil holds water under the slab, causing the base to shift and the surface to crack within a few seasons.
The builder grades the site to a confirmed drainage slope before any base material is ordered or poured.
Marking a 20 ft x 44 ft playing area on a slab that leaves no clearance creates a court that is unsafe and off-spec.
The site is measured for the full minimum footprint, 30 ft x 60 ft, before base work begins, not after.
An old driveway or pad can look usable but still carry cracks, a poor slope, or insufficient dimensions for a regulation court.
The slab is inspected for structural soundness, surface slope, and clearance dimensions before any conversion work starts.
Applying an acrylic coating over an improperly compacted asphalt base leads to bubbling and delamination in Charlotte’s summer heat.
Surface material, concrete, asphalt, or sport tile, is selected after the sub-base is confirmed, not before the site is assessed.
Scope of Work
Each element below is part of a complete court build, from raw ground to a playable, regulation-marked surface.
The ground is graded to a stable slope so water drains away from the slab and does not pool at the baseline.
The builder pours and compacts the base layer to the depth and specification the site conditions require.
An acrylic coating is applied over the cured base for UV protection, slip resistance, and a consistent playing surface.
Non-volley zone, service boxes, baseline, and sidelines are marked to the 20 ft x 44 ft regulation layout.
Posts are anchored in ground sleeves at the correct spacing and the net is set to the 34-inch center height.
A sound existing slab can be resurfaced and line-marked to regulation dimensions, skipping the base pour entirely.
Chain-link or vinyl-coated fencing around the court perimeter.
Interlocking tile as an alternative to poured acrylic coating.
Recoating and re-marking worn or faded existing courts.
Side-by-side court layouts for community facilities.
Why Choose Us
Every build is backed by a clear process, a written estimate, and a final sign-off, not a handshake and a hope.
Every enquiry starts with a site visit to check space, slope, and drainage before a single line is written on an estimate.
The estimate lists base preparation, surfacing, fencing, and line marking as separate line items, no bundled surprises.
The clay-heavy soil conditions here require drainage work before a stable base can be poured.
We arrange builds for backyard courts, HOA facilities, schools, and commercial sites across the Charlotte area.
Worn or faded courts can be recoated and re-marked without a full rebuild, the same builders handle both scopes.
The builder walks through every element with you before the job is closed, dimensions, net height, and surface condition.
