Is It Time to Upgrade Your Athletic Courts?
Athletic courts take a beating from constant games and harsh weather. Whether it’s basketball, tennis, or pickleball, surfaces wear out over time. Cracks, fading, and slippery textures make play unsafe and less enjoyable. If your courts are showing their age, it’s time for an upgrade. Here are the top signs your courts need a facelift:
1. Cracks and Uneven Surfaces
Cracks, chips, or uneven areas are more than cosmetic issues—they’re safety hazards.
- Basketball Courts: Poor surfaces affect ball bounce and increase trip risks.
- Tennis and Pickleball Courts: Cracks interrupt gameplay and can damage equipment.
Resurfacing restores the smooth, safe courts athletes need.
2. Faded Lines and Dull Colors
Bright, visible lines are critical for gameplay. Sunlight, heavy use, and weather can cause colors to fade, leaving courts looking neglected.
- Basketball Courts: Clear markings are essential for accurate play.
- Tennis and Pickleball Courts: Faded lines make games confusing and less enjoyable.
A resurfaced court brings back vibrant colors and sharp lines.
3. Water Pooling and Poor Drainage
Outdoor courts with poor drainage suffer from water accumulation, leading to quicker wear and safety risks.
- Tennis and Pickleball Courts: Slippery surfaces increase injury risks.
- Basketball Courts: Water seeps into cracks, causing further damage.
Upgrading ensures proper leveling and drainage to prevent future problems.
4. Slippery or Worn Textures
Over time, courts lose their grip, making surfaces slippery and unsafe for players.
- Basketball Courts: Solid footing is key for jumps and quick movements.
- Tennis and Pickleball Courts: Smooth surfaces reduce traction and performance quality.
Resurfacing restores traction and improves safety for everyone.
5. Aging and Performance Issues
Old surfaces impact how games are played. Balls may bounce inconsistently, and players may avoid courts altogether.
- Basketball Courts: Uneven surfaces disrupt play.
- Tennis and Pickleball Courts: Players lose confidence in the surface and game quality.
If your courts are 5-10 years old, it’s time for a refresh to improve performance and durability.
