San Diego County
A court graded, based, and surfaced to hold up under year-round Southern California use, no guesswork, no hidden scope.
What Goes Wrong
Pouring a base over uneven or sloped ground traps water under the slab, causing heaving and surface cracks within a few seasons.
The builder checks slope, soil condition, and drainage path before any base work begins, so the slab cures on stable, even ground.
Using the wrong base material for the soil type leads to differential settling, one corner sinks while the rest stays level, splitting the surface.
Concrete slab suits most residential installs; asphalt is specified where soil movement is a concern, the choice follows the site evaluation.
An uncoated concrete or asphalt surface degrades fast under San Diego County’s year-round sun, losing friction and color within two to three years.
Acrylic coating is applied over the cured base to block UV degradation and deliver the correct surface friction for safe, consistent play.
A hoop post set without concrete footings at the correct overhang distance shifts under load, making the backboard unsafe and the rim angle wrong.
The post is set in concrete footings at the regulation overhang distance, then checked at the final walkthrough before the job is signed off.
Scope & Options
From a compact backyard half court to a full residential or HOA layout, the scope is set after the site evaluation.
The most common residential choice, fits most standard backyards and covers shooting, free-throw, and key layouts to standard dimensions.
Regulation or scaled full court layout with boundary lines, three-point arc, and center circle, suited to larger lots and HOA facilities.
Poured concrete base with correct drainage slope, the standard for long-term residential stability and surface adhesion.
Asphalt base specified where soil movement is a concern, graded and compacted before surface coating is applied.
UV-resistant acrylic color coat over the cured base, with free-throw line, key, three-point arc, and court boundary in regulation dimensions.
Post set in concrete footings at the correct overhang distance, checked at final walkthrough against the written estimate.
Worn, cracked, or pooling surfaces assessed and resurfaced, base integrity checked before any new coating is applied.
Compact footprint for smaller yards or driveways.
Interlocking surface tiles over a prepared base.
Surface slope verified at 1% to prevent pooling.
