Pickleball Courts
A court that plays true from day one, built to USA Pickleball dimensions on a sub-base that handles Richmond’s clay soil and freeze-thaw winters.
What Goes Wrong
Shortcuts in sub-base prep and layout are invisible at handover but obvious within two seasons.
A flat pour looks fine until water pools at the baseline and softens the sub-base beneath the acrylic coating.
The 1-percent drainage slope is graded into the compacted base layer, not corrected with surface patching after the pour.
Richmond’s clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with freeze-thaw cycles, cracking any slab poured over an under-compacted base.
The written scope names the required compaction standard and base depth for local soil conditions before a single load is poured.
Adjusting kitchen lines or sidelines after concrete cures means grinding or repainting over a surface that was never laid out to spec.
The 20-by-44-foot footprint and 7-foot kitchen zone are staked and confirmed on-site before the concrete or asphalt is placed.
Applying acrylic colour coat before the base reaches its full cure interval traps moisture and causes the coating to peel within a year.
Acrylic coating is scheduled only after the concrete or asphalt base has reached its full cure interval, protecting the bond long-term.
Scope of Work
From sub-base to regulation line marking, the full scope is handled as a single coordinated project.
Single-court residential installs with concrete or asphalt base, acrylic coating, and regulation line marking on a private lot.
Multi-court layouts for homeowner associations and community facilities, including fencing, net posts, and ADA-compliant access paths.
Institutional-grade courts built to USA Pickleball standards for school campuses and public recreation programs.
Crack repair, sub-base stabilisation, and fresh acrylic colour coat for existing courts that have lost their playing surface.
Reinforced slab with correct drainage slope built in.
Compacted asphalt base as an alternative to concrete.
Two-tone court finish applied after full base cure.
Kitchen, centerline, and sidelines to USA Pickleball widths.
Permanent posts set at regulation 36-inch net height.
Chain-link or vinyl-coated fence panels around the court.
Why Choose Us
Accountability at every stage, from the first site visit to the final sign-off.
Every enquiry starts with a site visit to assess space and drainage before a number is put in writing.
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, and line marking appear as separate line items so you see exactly what you are paying for.
We connect customers with independent local partners who have completed courts in Chesterfield, Henrico, and Goochland counties.
The same scoping process applies whether the project is a single residential court or a multi-court HOA facility.
Dimensions, drainage flow, and surface condition are checked and confirmed before the project is considered complete.
The Process
01
Submit your site location and intended use, and we arrange a free on-site visit to assess the footprint, soil, and drainage conditions.
02
You receive an itemised estimate covering sub-base prep, concrete or asphalt pour, acrylic coating, fencing, and regulation line marking.
03
Once the surface is coated and lines are marked, a walkthrough confirms all dimensions and drainage before the project is signed off.
