Tennis Court Installation Questions

The playing area is 78 feet long by 36 feet wide for doubles. Most builds also need additional clearance around all four sides for run-off space, fencing, and safe movement. The on-site evaluation confirms whether your lot can accommodate the full footprint before any work is scoped.

Yes. Caliche hardpan sits close to the surface on many Arizona lots and must be excavated before a stable base can be set. The on-site evaluation identifies how deep the caliche runs so that excavation scope is included in the written estimate rather than discovered mid-build.

Most post-build problems trace back to inadequate drainage slope, under-compacted sub-base, or a surface coating that was too thin for local conditions. Laser leveling, proper compaction, and UV-rated multi-coat acrylic address all three before the court is handed over.

An existing cracked or uneven surface continues to worsen through Arizona’s heat cycles and monsoon moisture, widening cracks and softening the base beneath them. A new build delayed on a prepared site can also mean re-grading if the ground shifts before the slab is poured.

It can. A court that is well placed, correctly sized, and in good condition is more likely to appeal to buyers than one that crowds the yard or shows surface wear. Proper installation, drainage, base depth, and surface quality, is what keeps the court in condition long enough to matter at resale.

Yes. A tennis court base can carry additional line sets for pickleball or basketball. Those lines are applied during the striping stage after the final acrylic coat cures, and the net post positions are confirmed before the sleeves are set in concrete.
