Court Construction
A flat, well-drained court that plays true and holds its surface for decades, starting with the ground beneath it.
What Goes Wrong
A base poured directly onto uncompacted soil shifts with moisture, causing surface cracks within the first few seasons.
A compacted gravel sub-base is set before any asphalt or concrete goes down, giving the base a stable, load-bearing foundation.
Drainage added after grading rarely achieves the surface slope needed, leaving water pooling at the baseline or net post.
A minimum 1 percent surface gradient is built into the grading work so water moves to the perimeter from the start.
Charlotte’s clay-heavy soil holds moisture and expands seasonally, pushing up a base that was not prepared to account for it.
The builder evaluates soil conditions on-site and adjusts sub-base depth and drainage planning before any base work begins.
Acrylic surface coats applied without full cure intervals between layers peel and fade well before their expected service life.
Each acrylic layer is applied with a full cure interval, so the finished surface bonds correctly and holds color and texture.
Scope of Work
Every stage from raw ground to a regulation, fully playable court is handled as part of the same project.
Slope assessment, excavation, and grading to achieve a flat court footprint on Charlotte’s often-sloped residential lots.
Asphalt base for sites with minor grade variation; concrete slab where long-term level consistency is the priority.
Perimeter drainage and a built-in surface gradient so the court sheds water cleanly after heavy Charlotte rainfall.
Multiple acrylic coats applied with full cure intervals between each layer for a durable, consistent playing surface.
Court fencing, net posts, center strap, and regulation line marking installed so the court is fully playable at handover.
Private courts sized for home lots with full drainage.
Shared amenity courts for Charlotte-area HOA communities.
Higher-use concrete-base courts for institutional sites.
Acrylic resurfacing for worn or cracked existing courts.
