Sand, Turf & Acrylic
A regulation court built for Phoenix conditions, drained, level, and ready for daily play.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a court that lasts and one that fails shows up in the base, not the surface.
Sand poured at less than 16 inches compacts quickly, removing the cushion that protects joints on landing.
The builder specifies 16 to 18 inches of sand, the range that absorbs impact without causing fatigue.
A sand court without a drainage layer under it floods after Phoenix monsoon rain and stays waterlogged for days.
Pressure-treated timber or concrete curbing contains the sand, and a drainage layer below it clears standing water fast.
Net post sleeves retrofitted after the base is poured shift under game-load tension and pull out of alignment over time.
Post sleeves are anchored during the base pour so posts stay plumb and stable under full net tension from day one.
Acrylic color coating applied before the concrete slab reaches full cure peels under Phoenix UV within one to two seasons.
The builder waits for the correct cure interval before applying acrylic, so the coating bonds properly and holds its color.
Surface Options
Each surface suits a different use pattern. The spec is matched to how the court will actually be played.
Contained sand at 16 to 18 inches deep over a drainage layer, with timber or concrete curbing and FIVB line marking.
Sand-infill turf stays cooler than bare acrylic in direct sun and cushions barefoot play on a compacted sub-base.
Acrylic coating over concrete is low maintenance, easy to line-mark, and supports multi-sport use on the same surface.
Sleeves set in the base pour for permanent post stability.
Regulation lines and antenna placement included in scope.
Drainage slope and sub-base spec matched to Phoenix rainfall.
New builds and resurfacing for residential and community sites.
Why Us
Every job starts with an honest look at your site, and ends with a walkthrough that confirms the work is right.
Base prep, surfacing, drainage, and line marking are all itemised in writing before you commit to a single dollar.
The site assessment covers caliche depth, drainage slope, and sun exposure specific to your Phoenix site.
Work covers private backyard courts, HOA community facilities, and school sites across the Phoenix metro area.
Worn or damaged courts are assessed and repaired under the same scoped-estimate process as new builds.
Surface level, post plumb, and drainage are confirmed with you on-site before the job is signed off.
