What Goes Wrong

Where shared-court projects go sideways, and how to avoid it

Skipped Drainage Design

Central Texas clay soils hold water under a slab, causing movement and standing water that no surface coating can fix.

Drainage Built Into Scope

Every site assessment includes drainage slope and soil evaluation before a base material or surface is specified.

Surface-Only Resurfacing

Applying a new coating over a cracked or settled base delays the real problem and adds cost when the slab eventually needs rebuilding.

Base Condition Assessed First

The written estimate separates base repair from surface work so the scope reflects what the court actually needs.

Fencing & Lighting Added Late

Treating fencing and lighting as afterthoughts means post placement and conduit runs conflict with the finished surface.

Full Scope in One Estimate

Fencing, lighting, and drainage are scoped alongside the base and surface so every trade is coordinated from the start.

Layout Sized for One Sport

A court dimensioned for a single sport leaves a shared-use property unable to serve multiple user groups without a second build.

Multi-Court Layout Planning

Clearance and drainage slope are measured for each playing area so basketball, pickleball, and tennis can share one site.

Scope of Work

What a shared-court build covers

From a single replacement court to a multi-sport layout, the scope is set before any surface work begins.

Basketball Court Installation

Basketball Court Installation

Concrete or asphalt base, acrylic color coating, and regulation key and three-point line striping for shared daily use.

Perimeter Fencing

Chain-link or vinyl-coated panels scoped with the base, not after.

Court Lighting

Fixture placement and conduit runs coordinated before surfacing.

Line Striping

Regulation markings for each sport on the finished surface.

Drainage Design

Slope and outlet plan built into every site assessment.

Shared-Use Builds

Court builds sized for daily use by many players

Shared courts take more daily wear than backyard courts, so base prep and surface spec matter more, not less.

HOA communities and school campuses across the Austin metro need courts that hold up under constant use and Austin’s UV intensity. We arrange a site survey that checks soil conditions, existing drainage, and available footprint before any layout is proposed. Central Texas clay soils can cause slab movement and standing water if drainage design is skipped, so that step is built into every assessment.

The full project is scoped in one written estimate: concrete or asphalt base, court coating, multi-court line striping, perimeter fencing, and lighting. Multi-court layouts, combining basketball, pickleball, and tennis on one site, are measured for clearance and drainage slope so each playing area meets regulation standards. Fencing and lighting are not treated as add-ons after the surface is finished.

A final walkthrough confirms every item in the written scope before sign-off. That includes surface flatness, drainage provision, line marking accuracy, fence post stability, and fixture alignment. For Austin ISD campuses and HOA communities managing shared amenity courts, that documented walkthrough also provides a clear record of what was built and to what specification.

Why Choose Us

Why choose us for your HOA or school court project?

Shared-use court projects involve more stakeholders and more moving parts than a single-owner build, here is how we keep the process accountable.

One Written Estimate, Full Scope

Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and striping appear in one itemised document before any work is approved.

Drainage Assessed Before Pricing

Soil conditions and drainage slope are checked on-site first, so the estimate reflects the actual site, not a best guess.

Documented Final Walkthrough

Every item in the written scope is confirmed at handover, giving HOA boards and administrators a clear build record.

Multi-Sport Layout Experience

We scope combined basketball, pickleball, and tennis layouts on shared-access sites.

Austin Metro Coverage

We serve HOA communities and school campuses across Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Lakeway, and surrounding areas.

Common Questions

Questions HOA boards & school administrators ask

  • Why is my court cracking or holding water after rain?

    Cracking and pooling almost always trace back to base failure or inadequate drainage slope. When the sub-base shifts, settles unevenly, or was never graded correctly, the surface above it cracks and water has nowhere to go. Resurfacing alone will not fix either problem if the base underneath is compromised.

  • Can resurfacing fix every problem on my court?

    No. Resurfacing corrects surface wear, fading, and minor surface cracks, but it cannot fix structural base failure, drainage problems, or deep alligator cracking. Applying a new surface coat over a failing base means the same cracks return within a season or two. A site evaluation determines whether the base is still sound before any surface work begins.

  • Do I need a full rebuild or just resurfacing?

    Resurfacing works when the base is structurally intact and cracks are surface-level only. A full rebuild is necessary when the sub-base has shifted, drainage is failing, or cracking runs deep through the asphalt or concrete. An on-site evaluation of the existing base and drainage is the only reliable way to tell which path is right for your court.

  • Will this court handle heavy daily use?

    Yes, when the base and surface are built to commercial-use standards. A properly compacted aggregate base under an asphalt or concrete slab, finished with an acrylic sport coating, holds up to continuous daily traffic from large groups. Cutting corners on base depth or compaction is what causes premature failure under heavy use.

  • What is included in a court build besides the surface?

    Every project starts with an on-site evaluation and drainage assessment, then moves through sub-base preparation, surfacing, and line marking. The written estimate also covers fencing and lighting where required. A final walkthrough is completed before the job is signed off, so every element is confirmed complete and correct.

  • What extra work might come up after the old surface is removed?

    Removing the old surface can reveal a compromised sub-base, poor drainage, or soil that needs regrading before a new base can be laid. These conditions are not always visible until demolition is complete. The on-site evaluation reduces surprises, but any findings are documented and discussed before additional work proceeds.

  • What can change the cost of a commercial court project?

    Court size, number of sports, base condition, drainage requirements, fencing height, and lighting all affect the final figure. Sites with poor drainage or unstable soil need more base preparation, which adds to the scope. The itemised written estimate produced after the site evaluation breaks each factor out so there are no line-item surprises.

  • How much disruption will the construction cause for residents or students?

    The court area is fenced off and inaccessible during construction, but surrounding paths, parking, and facilities remain open. Noise and equipment activity are concentrated during standard working hours. The schedule is confirmed before work starts so HOA boards and school administrators can notify residents or students in advance.
