Court Builds
A regulation court in your backyard, properly graded, surfaced, and lined so it plays right from day one.
What Goes Wrong
The problems that show up months after a build are almost always set in motion before the first shovel hits the ground.
A base poured without a minimum 1 percent slope leaves standing water on the surface after every rain, accelerating surface cracking.
The site is graded to a confirmed drainage slope before the base is poured, so water clears the court after Raleigh’s frequent summer storms.
Raleigh’s clay-heavy soil shifts with moisture; a slab poured directly over uncompacted clay heaves and cracks within a few seasons.
Sub-base compaction and drainage planning are assessed on-site and listed as explicit line items before any concrete or asphalt is placed.
Marking a 20-by-44-foot court on a pad with no run-off room leaves players with no safe space to chase balls near the baseline.
The minimum 30-by-60-foot play area is staked on-site first, confirming the full footprint fits before any base work is scoped or started.
An uncoated concrete or asphalt base becomes slippery when wet and degrades quickly under UV exposure in Raleigh’s warm, humid summers.
An acrylic surface coating is applied over the cured base for UV and moisture resistance, giving the court consistent traction in all weather.
Scope of Work
From raw ground to a fully lined, net-ready court, every component of the build is handled as part of the same project.
Ground is assessed, graded to a minimum 1 percent slope, and prepared so water clears the surface after rain.
The base is selected to match site conditions, concrete for a firm, low-maintenance surface; asphalt where grade variation exists.
UV- and moisture-resistant acrylic coating is applied over the cured base for consistent traction and long-term surface protection.
Baseline, sidelines, centerline, non-volley zone, and service boxes are striped to regulation dimensions in a contrasting color.
Posts are set at regulation spacing; the net runs 36 inches at the sidelines and 34 inches at center, confirmed at final walkthrough.
Assess, coat, and line an existing pad that meets size and condition checks.
Ball-containment fencing added within the same project scope.
Interlocking sport tile as an alternative to acrylic coating.
Multiple courts on a single site for community or club use.
Why Choose Us
Every build accounts for Wake County soil conditions and delivers a written scope before work begins.
Every enquiry starts with a site visit to assess drainage and space, no scope is written until the ground is checked in person.
Base prep, surfacing, net hardware, and fencing are listed as separate line items so nothing is bundled or hidden.
Net height, line accuracy, surface drainage, and coating adhesion are all confirmed before the job is considered complete.
We handle enquiries for residential backyards, HOA facilities, school campuses, and commercial sites across the Raleigh area.
Builders serving Wake County residential properties understand the grading and drainage demands that Raleigh’s soil places on a slab.
