Tailored Designs to Fit Your Vision and Budget
Our NC tennis court builders shape layout, color, fencing, lighting, and accessories to your vision, budget, and timeline. Pickleball and tennis courts can be tailored for competitive play, recreation, or family-friendly multi-use spaces.
Our Court Construction Process
Building courts in North Carolina calls for niche expertise, careful permitting, and disciplined execution. As your NC tennis court builder and NC pickleball court builder, North State Resurfacing follows a proven, code-aware process that protects safety, schedule, and budget while delivering long-lasting performance.
Step 1: Consultation, Codes, and Orientation
Our NC tennis court builder begins with a site walk and planning session to confirm goals, access points, utilities, and local zoning needs. We verify setbacks, drainage paths, and solar angles so your court plays well year-round and complies with municipal requirements.
For tennis courts, the net line is typically oriented East–West to reduce sun glare during service and returns; for pickleball courts, we balance sun paths with spectator flow and neighborhood context.
Step 2: Size, Layout, and Clearances
Regulation tennis layouts require a 60′ x 120′ overall area with added space for drainage and root control; pickleball courts require a 44′ x 20′ playing area plus safe runoffs and circulation. We locate gates, seating, hose bibs, and ADA-aware routes so play and maintenance move smoothly without crowding the playing stand.
Step 3: Sub-Base Evaluation by a Professional Engineer
Court longevity starts below grade. A registered engineer will evaluate the native soils, bearing capacity, and moisture behavior of your site, then recommend stabilization methods—so your base supports true bounce, controlled cracking, and long term durability instead of costly movement.
Step 4: Grading, Stone Base, and Drainage Solutions
Our NC pickleball court builder removes organics, establishes positive slopes, and installs a well-compacted stone base that sheds water. This is not a place to cut corners, as precise grading and drainage design extend your court’s surface life, reduces birdbaths, and prevents premature crack patterns.
Step 5: Asphalt Paving for Lasting Performance
We specify paving thickness and lift sequence for durability. A minimum 2″ asphalt surface is standard; many North Carolina projects benefit from two 1.5″ lifts (total ~3″) for added stiffness and smoother texture ahead of surfacing. Proper joints and cure times protect the coating system that follows.
Step 6: Acrylic Surfacing and Lines
After cure, we install premium materials tailored to the specific sport. Acrylic systems provide traction, UV stability, and sport-appropriate pace—tuned for predictable tennis ball speed and crisp pickleball response. We adhere to official standards for both sports, with high-contrast lines and accurate net positions.
Step 7: Fencing, Lighting, and Accessories
Vinyl-coated chain-link fencing is the most common enclosure choice, with height and windscreen options set to your site and use. For lighting, legacy 1,000W metal-halide specs exist, but modern LED packages now deliver better efficiency and optics. As a guide, ~50+ foot-candles supports recreational play; ~70+ foot-candles targets tournament-level visibility. Nets, posts, divider fencing, and seating are selected for daily reliability.
Step 8: Final Review, Handoff, and Court Maintenance Plan
Our NC tennis court builder documents slopes, asphalt thickness, and coating application, then completes punch-list and owner training. Facility owners or homeowners will receive maintenance guidance for cleaning, inspections, crack response, and a court resurfacing schedule tied to use level and weather exposure—so your investment keeps performing for decades.

Crack Prevention with PolyPave Court Shield
PolyPave Court Shield provides a flexible reinforcement layer that helps prevent reflective cracking on asphalt tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and multi-use courts by bridging active cracks and dispersing stress before it reaches the surface.
When this patented crack prevention system is installed over properly prepared substrates—and paired with targeted crack repair, drainage improvements, and acrylic color coats—the membrane:
- Reduces crack return
- Preserves uniform texture and ball response
- Extends the interval between resurfacing cycles
