Court Built Right
A finished court that drains correctly, plays level, and holds up through Southwest Virginia seasons.
What Goes Wrong
A base laid without a confirmed 1-percent drainage slope traps water on the surface after every rain.
A slope check and drainage plan are completed before base work begins, so run-off is engineered in from the start.
Blue Ridge foothills soils shift with freeze-thaw cycles; an under-compacted sub-base cracks the surface within a few seasons.
Sub-base compaction is confirmed in layers and base depth is matched to the soil conditions found on the specific site.
A court laid to the property boundary leaves no run-off clearance, making the playing area unsafe and non-regulation.
The minimum 60-by-120-foot planning footprint is confirmed at layout, so clearance on all sides is built into the scope.
Applying acrylic coating over an uncured or uneven base leads to bubbling, peeling, and an uneven playing surface.
Acrylic color coating goes down only after the base has cured and passed a slope and flatness check.
Scope of Work
Each stage of the build is scoped and itemised separately so you know exactly what is included.
Sloped Roanoke Valley terrain is graded and a drainage plan is set before any base material is placed.
A compacted asphalt base is built to the depth the soil conditions require, with a 1-percent surface slope for drainage.
Color acrylic coating is applied over the cured base to provide a consistent, weather-resistant playing surface.
Regulation lines are marked in standard colors and widths for singles (27 ft) and doubles (36 ft) play.
Net posts are set in concrete footings at correct spacing, and the center strap and net are fitted and tensioned.
Perimeter fencing is installed to contain play and define the court boundary within the full planning footprint.
Full installation on home lots with grading and drainage.
Multi-court layouts for shared residential facilities.
Larger-scale installs with regulation fencing and lighting scope.
Why Choose Us
Every enquiry is handled the same way: site visit first, written scope second, no work booked until you have both.
A site visit assesses ground conditions and drainage before a scope is written or work is booked.
The estimate lists base prep, surfacing, fencing, and line marking as separate line items, no bundled guesswork.
Surface slope, net height, and line visibility are all checked and confirmed before the job is signed off.
Every scope accounts for local terrain and soil conditions, so drainage planning reflects what is actually on the ground.
The same process covers backyard courts, HOA facilities, and school or commercial installs across the service area.
How It Works

Tell us the site location and intended use, and we schedule a visit to assess the ground and drainage.
02
You receive an itemised estimate covering grading, base, surface, fencing, and line marking before any work is scheduled.
03
The builder completes each stage in sequence and conducts a final walkthrough to confirm slope, lines, and net height.
