We arrange an on-site slope and drainage review before any base work begins. San Antonio’s caliche and clay-heavy soil often needs extra grading and compaction before a concrete slab can be poured without settling risk. The builder stakes the court boundary, confirms the drainage path, and prepares the subgrade to a compaction standard that supports the finished surface through South Texas heat cycles.
Base layer choice, concrete slab, asphalt, or interlocking modular tiles, depends on site conditions and how the court will be used. A raw concrete slab is not a finished play surface; an acrylic sport court coating is applied over the cured slab to provide the correct texture, UV resistance, and ball response. Modular tiles are an alternative where a removable surface is preferred.
Court striping for multiple sports is applied in distinct colors after the surface coating cures fully. Basketball, pickleball, and other game layouts can share the same surface without the lines becoming unreadable, provided the color scheme is planned before striping begins. Basketball hoop installation, net posts, and perimeter fencing are scoped and itemised separately in the written estimate.
