Court Builders
A flat, durable court with proper drainage, regulation markings, and a hoop set in concrete, ready for year-round play.
What Goes Wrong
The surface is only as good as what sits beneath it, and that is where most shortcuts show up.
Clay-heavy soil that is not properly compacted before pouring will shift under load, causing slab cracks within a season or two.
The builder excavates, adds fill where needed, and compacts the subgrade before any base layer goes down.
A slab poured without a deliberate surface slope traps water at the edges, creating standing puddles and accelerating surface wear.
The slab is formed with a controlled slope so rainwater runs clear of the court and does not pool at the baseline.
A coating not rated for UV exposure and heat will soften, peel, or fade within a few summers in San Antonio’s climate.
A multi-pass acrylic coating rated for high UV and heat exposure is applied after the slab reaches its full cure interval.
Concrete hardscape and grading work can trigger local permit requirements, skipping this step risks stop-work orders or fines.
The builder confirms local permit and HOA requirements before breaking ground so the project stays on schedule.
Scope of Work
A full court build spans several distinct phases, each one affects the finished court’s playability and lifespan.
Uneven ground is excavated and graded to a stable, compacted subgrade before any base material is placed.
A 4-inch reinforced concrete slab is the standard residential base, providing a stable, low-maintenance foundation.
Two or more passes of UV-resistant acrylic coating give a consistent bounce surface that handles year-round heat.
Key, three-point arc, and half-court line are painted to regulation dimensions after the surface coating cures fully.
Hoop posts are set in concrete footings at the correct overhang distance from the baseline for regulation play.
Slab edges and surrounding grade are finished to direct water away from the court and protect the base layer.
A lower-cost base alternative for larger court areas.
Snap-together tiles installed over an existing slab.
Chain-link or panel fencing around the court boundary.
Builder handles local permit applications before work starts.
