Our experience helps ensure every detail, from layout through finish, meets performance and durability standards.
- Perimeter fencing, divider fencing and accessories installation – we integrate essential court features to meet your sport, safety, and site needs.
Choosing Your Court Base
When planning a new outdoor athletic court, one of the most important decisions is selecting the right substrate. Asphalt and post-tension concrete are two of the most common options, each offering unique benefits in terms of cost, durability, and performance.

Court Renovation
- Crack repair and resurfacing – cracks can be filled and maintained, but unless the underlying pavement issues are addressed through reconstruction, they typically reappear and expand over time.
- Drainage correction – proper water management extends surface life and improves playability.
- Equipment upgrades – we replace worn-out nets, posts, basketball systems, windscreens, and related court accessories to restore functionality and improve appearance.
- Slipsheet overlay system – a specialized multi-layer resurfacing method designed for courts with deep or recurring cracks. The system helps isolate surface movement and prevents existing cracks from reappearing, delivering a flexible overlay that restores playability and performance.
Court Surfacing and Resurfacing
- Acrylic sport surfacing systems – we apply high-quality color coatings that refresh court appearance, texture, and traction.
- Custom color coatings – available in standard or signature palettes to match your brand or preferences.
- Line striping for multiple sports – precise, sport-specific markings to ensure safe and compliant play.
To keep acrylic courts playing their best and protect your investment, we recommend resurfacing as part of regular maintenance, typically every 4–7 years depending on use, exposure, and site conditions.
Important Note
Acrylic coatings do not seal or prevent cracks. If cracks exist before resurfacing, they should be properly addressed first; otherwise, they will likely reappear through the new surface.
Slipsheet
When traditional crack repair is not enough, a slipsheet overlay can provide a more durable path forward. This multi-layer system helps prevent existing cracks from reflecting through the new surface while restoring playability and extending court use.
