If you are looking for an Asphalt basketball court company near you, Gappsi personnel are well educated and knowledgeable about constructing asphalt courts. Most common courts built using asphalt are basketball, tennis, pickleball, and volleyball courts. Asphalt flooring is used for commercial municipal installation, but also for residential and private backyards too. Asphalt doesn’t require maintenance. Its black in color when it is newly installed and with time it weathers into a grayish color. It can be sealed, or it can also be painted with special asphalt paint in your desired colors, and striped to outline the court regulation lines. When a court is painted, the texture can become smoother and it could get a little slippery. It is recommended that a slip-resistant product is mixed with the paint before it is applied on the asphalt court. Gappsi, your professional Asphalt basketball court company, can create the court of your dreams at a great price, value, and top quality construction. 

 
In this particular installation we built a 30 x 30 basketball court. Eight inches of soil was excavated and removed from the site, then six inches of recycled concrete base was installed and compacted with a heavy mechanical plate. A 6×9 Nicolock paving stone border was installed around the perimeter to outline the edge of the court, which also reinforces the asphalt and keeps it from cracking in the future. An adjustable, regulation-size basketball hoop was installed, and across from it on the other side of the court, a flood light was installed on a 14 ft tall pole for the homeowners to be able to use the court at night. A net can also be attached to the poles to play volleyball. The asphalt was left unpainted and unsealed at the client request.

Installation Process

In this basement we removed asbestos tiles that were glued down with liquid asphalt. The concrete floor was then grinded down to remove the tar and prepare the surface for the installation of the vapor barrier coating. Right after the first application of epoxy yellow vinyl, flakes were thrown widely in the wet epoxy and were left to stick and dry for the next 24 hours. The next step was to vacuum the loose vinyl flakes off the floor and lightly scrape the floor to flatten the surface. The final step was to apply a clear coat of the epoxy over the vinyl flakes. This gives the floor a smooth finish and covering the flakes prevents them from getting ripped off the floor. In this basement we did not apply any hardener coat over the epoxy because the floor is not used for vehicular traffic. In a garage floor or any vehicular trafficked area, a layer of urethane would need to be applied to harden the surface of the epoxy finish. This last process prolongs the wearing of the floor and also protects it from any UV light coming through the window and doors. Gappsi provides Epoxy floors solutions to all residents on Long Island for both Nassau and Suffolk County NY.

On some days, they were not even able to use the courts because they were not fully dry. After the removal of the clay, and the installation of the new synthetic grass surface, the residents have been playing on the courts every day.
