Sports surfaces
Fitting several sports onto one court
We plan the layout, the line colors and the sizes before anything gets poured.
We plan the layout, the line colors and the sizes before anything gets poured.
Start with the tape, not the wish list. Every sport needs its playing area plus room to run out past the line, and that run out is what usually kills a combination on a small HOA pad. We measure the slab, draw the biggest court that fits with safe run out, then see what nests inside it. Basketball and pickleball share a slab well. Pickleball and volleyball nest neatly together. Full size tennis needs real space and often will not sit with anything else. If the sizes do not work, we tell you at the measurement instead of marking a cramped court and letting you discover it later. Sometimes the honest answer is two sports done properly rather than four done badly.
Four sets of lines on one court turns into noise unless the colors are planned. The field color is chosen first, then each sport gets a line color that reads clearly against it and against the other lines. The colored surface comes from EPDM granule, so there is a real palette to pick from rather than whatever paint is on the truck. Strong contrast for the sport played most, quieter tones for the rest. We put the layout on paper with the colors on it before the pour, and you sign that drawing. Nobody should be standing there squinting at a court, working out which baseline belongs to which game, while people wait to play.
An HOA court gets used by residents who all want it at once, and paid for by a board that has to defend the spend. That changes how we quote it. You get a fixed written price you can take into a meeting, with the depth, the colors and the line plan set down on it, so nobody at the table is guessing. On site the work runs 1 to 3 days, and the surface is walkable after 24 to 48 hours of curing, which usually means one weekend with the amenity closed rather than a month. We have laid seamless surfaces since 2013, more than 1.6 million sq ft of it between 2013 and 2025, plenty of that on amenity decks that had to reopen on a promised date.

Two or three read well in practice. Past that the lines start competing and players lose the court they came for. It also depends on the slab size and how much run out each sport needs behind its own lines. We draw the options at the measurement and show you what each one looks like on your actual slab before you commit to any of them.
Yes. Adding a set of lines to a poured court is a small job next to the original pour, and we keep your color blend on file so the new marking sits in the same palette as the rest. It is cheaper to plan the extra sport at the start. Nobody knows at the start what the residents will be asking for later on.
It is a compromise and we will say so out loud. A dedicated tennis court and a dedicated basketball court would each get a slightly different finish. On a shared slab we set the texture and the depth for the sport played most often, and the others sit close enough that nobody complains. If one game truly dominates the court, tell us and we build for that one.
Installed work starts at 8 dollars per sq ft, and extra line sets add a modest amount on top rather than doubling anything. What actually moves the number is slab repair and the depth you choose. Book the free measurement on 754-999-9766, we come out within 24 hours, and the written price after that visit is fixed with no deposit taken.
If the court will host serious basketball or tennis rather than a bit of everything, look at single sport court systems.
