Tennis Courts

A tennis court is a big, precise slab, and the whole game rides on how flat and true it is. We pour reinforced court slabs graded for drainage, finished tight, and ready for the color coating and lines that make it play right.

Flat, and graded to drain

A court has to be flat for a fair bounce but still shed water, so we build a slight, even slope and screed the whole slab to hold it. The base is compacted hard because a court telegraphs every soft spot.

Sized and ready to finish

We pour the slab to full court dimensions with the reinforcement to stay crack-controlled, set net-post sleeves during the pour, and leave a surface ready for an acrylic color system and regulation lines.

What this service covers

• Full-size and practice courts
• Reinforced, dead-flat slabs
• Graded for drainage
• Net-post sleeves set
• Color-coat-ready surface
• Fence-footing layout

Built for the Front Range

Concrete behaves differently at altitude. Our expansive clay soils swell with moisture and shrink when they dry, and the freeze and thaw cycle works on any surface that takes on water. Every tennis courts project we pour accounts for both, from base preparation and drainage to air-entrained mixes, proper reinforcement, and control joints cut on time. That is how the work holds its shape and finish through Colorado winters instead of failing by spring.

You also get a written estimate before anything starts, a structural engineer on staff for the jobs that need one, and a crew that pulls and manages permits when the project calls for them. Licensed, bonded, and insured, with finishes that range from a clean broom texture to stamped, colored, and sealed.

What shapes your Tennis Courts project

Outdoor concrete has to look good and do real structural work at the same time. Here is what shapes a Tennis Courts project.

• Size and height. Footprint drives most jobs; for walls, height drives the engineering, since taller structures hold back far more soil and water.
• Engineering and drainage. Retaining structures and water features need reinforcement and, above all, drainage. Water with nowhere to go is what topples walls and cracks shells.
• Base and footings. A compacted base and frost-depth footings keep the work from heaving and settling through the seasons.
• Finish and integration. Texture, color, and how the work ties into surrounding patios and grade all affect both the look and the labor.
• Site access. Backyard and sloped sites are harder to reach and to grade, which factors into the work.

Caring for your concrete

Drainage is what keeps tennis courts sound, so keep weeps and drains clear and watch that water continues to move away from the structure. Sealing exposed surfaces and clearing snow promptly protect the finish through the freeze and thaw. And whatever the project, the same rule applies across the Front Range: keep water from sitting on or soaking into the surface, and the concrete will reward you with decades of service.
