Court Builders
A graded, drained, properly surfaced court that plays true and holds up through Virginia’s wet seasons.
What Goes Wrong
Water that pools under the slab after rain works into the base and causes cracking within a few seasons.
Drainage flow is mapped across the full court area during the site evaluation, before any base work is scoped.
Roanoke’s sloped lots need excavation and grading first; skipping it leaves the base unstable and the surface uneven.
Existing grade and soil condition are assessed on-site so grading work is scoped before the estimate is written.
Asphalt laid over poorly compacted subgrade, or concrete poured on a site that moves, both lead to premature surface failure.
Asphalt or concrete is selected based on subgrade stability and compaction results, not on what is cheaper to pour.
Fencing, net posts, and runoff clearance zones added late inflate the final cost and delay the finish date.
Net posts, perimeter fencing, line marking, and runoff zones are all included in the written estimate before work is booked.
Scope of Work
Every stage from raw ground to a playable, marked, and fenced court is handled as one continuous scope.
Existing grade, soil type, and drainage flow are assessed, then the site is excavated and leveled to accept a stable base.
The base material is chosen to match subgrade conditions, asphalt for sites with minor ground movement, concrete for stable, well-compacted subgrade.
An acrylic color coat is applied over the cured base to seal the surface and deliver consistent ball response across the full play area.
Service boxes, baselines, and center marks are laid out to regulation dimensions, and net posts are set in concrete footings.
Chain-link or welded-wire fencing is installed around the court perimeter, with gate placement confirmed during the site evaluation.
Runoff clearance zones mapped before base work begins.
Backyard and estate court installations on private lots.
Multi-court facilities for neighborhood associations.
School, club, and commercial property court builds.
Why Choose Us
Local site knowledge, a clear written scope, and a structured sign-off process set this work apart from a general contractor taking on a court build.
An on-site ground and drainage check happens before any estimate is written, so nothing is guessed.
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, and line marking appear as separate line items, no bundled totals that hide scope.
Local terrain and Virginia’s rainfall patterns are factored into every drainage and grading plan from the start.
One partner handles the project from raw ground to finished court, no handoffs between separate sub-trades.
A final walkthrough checks fence alignment, net post setting, and line marking before the job is signed off.
Backyard courts, HOA facilities, and school or commercial builds are all within the service scope.
How It Works
01
Share the location and what you want to build, and an on-site evaluation is arranged at a time that suits you.
02
After the site visit, you receive an itemised estimate covering base prep, surfacing, fencing, and line marking as separate line items.
03
Work runs from grading through to the final walkthrough, where every element is checked before the job closes.
