DecoTurf Tennis Court – California Sports Surfaces

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos on DecoTurf Tennis Court – California Sports Surfaces Long Island, NY

If you play the time-honored game of tennis, you might want to invest in your own DecoTurf Tennis Court. The advantages are many.

  • No need to reserve ahead of time
  • No club fees to pay
  • No tedious travel to and from.

We recently installed this tennis court for a private residence in Belle Terre, NY, overlooking the water.  The base for this asphalt tennis court is made of layers of crushed stone, gravel, and stone dust, providing a stable foundation. The base is critical for the court’s durability and stability.  It should be designed to prevent the court from shifting or settling.  We installed two layers of asphalt on 6 inches of oversized recycled concrete and 4 inches of finer state-approved crushed concrete.  The final layer is the DecoTurf paint.   

DecoTurf Tennis Court

DecoTurf has built its reputation by manufacturing the highest-quality tennis court surfaces for all project types, from prestigious tournaments to private residence surfaces. Their tennis court surfacing products are known for their consistent speed of play, proper ball bounce, durability, low maintenance, vibrant, long-lasting colors, and overall customer value.

decoturf-tennis-courts---california-sports-surfaces-long-island-ny3Hard Courts with cushioning and an acrylic paint color system are a popular solution for customers who want the low maintenance of a hard court with some of the resilience and “give” of a soft court. Several rubberized cushioning systems have been developed to ease the pain of playing on a hard court. Some cushion systems like DecoTurf utilize 2 to 3 coats of heavy-grade rubber granules followed by three or more coats of fine-grade rubber granules squeezed on top of the asphalt surface.

Cushioned hard courts can have a medium to fast pace of play depending on how much sand is used in the acrylic coatings. The big draw for cushioned hard courts is that they require virtually no maintenance. You must blow or brush leaves and debris off the surface and pressure clean as needed!

For this project, we kept the tennis court’s paint 4 inches away from the very edge of the asphalt. We used DecoTurf paint made explicitly for sports game courts. We used a darker green for the outer perimeter and a navy blue for the center of the tennis court, then striped with white lines.

Running Bond Border

decoturf-tennis-courts---california-sports-surfaces-long-island-nyWe bordered the tennis court with a charcoal color border for the perimeter and a running bond border in multiple gray colors.  The Running Bond, also known as the stretcher bond, is a type of brick bond that is characterized by its simple, repetitive pattern. In this bond, bricks are laid with their long sides (or stretchers) facing outwards, and each row of bricks is offset from the one above and below it by half a brick length.

Out of Bounce Netting and Fencing

We fenced the tennis court with out-of-bounce netting, which looks much softer than chain link fencing. Three-inch powder-coated posts 12 feet high were used. Netting is paramount for sports fields as it prevents balls from leaving the restricted area and keeps spectators safe from unfortunate accidents while playing.

Dominator Netting – Finally, an Easy-to-Adjust Net

We installed regulation tennis netting. The posts are adjustable and can be extended to play volleyball,  badminton, or pickleball. Elevate your tennis game with our adjustable-height tennis nets. Perfect for players of all levels, these nets offer versatility and convenience.  

Every tennis net we sell is adjustable, so it doesn’t matter if your posts are not exactly standard distance apart. Your tennis net will fit. And if you have a slightly smaller court like some of our clients do, you ran out of space, but you love tennis so much you just had to squeeze a tennis court in, it’s not a problem.

We installed a Dominator basketball hoop on one side of the tennis court.  The Dominator basketball hoop is an aluminum adjustable 72-inch professional hoop. Gappsi is an authorized dealer for Dominator, and we have them on display at the Gappsi showroom.

With a professional Dominator basketball hoop, you always have the home-court advantage. Other hoops rust and become difficult to adjust over time, but Dominator hoops don’t have that problem.

Multi-Sport Game Court Options

A tennis court is a versatile playing area for the entire family! It offers a variety of games that don’t require extensive equipment or complicated setup and that both children and adults can enjoy!

You can add other sports to a tennis court by installing nets, hoops, and other equipment or dividing the court with cones.

  • Basketball: Install basketball hoops and keys
  • Hockey: Cut a hockey “D” into the court for practice stick tricks, dribbling, and goal-scoring
  • Cricket: Add a cricket wicket to the edge of the court
  • Netball: Install a netball goal circle and hoop
  • Football: Use the court’s non-directional surface to improve ball control and footing
  • Hopscotch: add hopscotch to a tennis court by using different colored tiles or game lines to separate activities.
  • Add unique color paint tailored explicitly for your court surface to your court games. Gappsi can creatively imprint games onto your court. Add kid’s games to any court or playground, like 4 Square, Tetherball, Shuffleboard, Bean Bag Toss, and many others.

His and her sinks, open floor plans, and pools used to be the hottest trends in real estate.  Then the trend was signature golf courses and beach clubs.  Now all eyes are on pickleball courts.

Pickleball Sports Game Courts Impact on Landscape and Space

It is essential to consider the overall impact on the landscape. A well-designed court can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a property. Strategic placement and landscaping around the court can create a serene, resort-like ambiance. However, homeowners must ensure they have ample space so that the court doesn’t feel cramped or diminish the utility of the backyard.
While adding a pickleball court is a significant investment, the benefits of property value, lifestyle upgrades, and potential income make it a worthy consideration.

pickleball-courts-at-home-increase-home-values-glen-head-ny1Why Choose Asphalt Court Surfaces

Fast installation: One of the main advantages of using an asphalt surface for pickleball courts is the quick installation. Asphalt can be laid in a matter of days, allowing for a fast turnaround time for court construction. This is particularly advantageous for those who want to have their pickleball court ready for use as soon as possible.

Less costly: Asphalt is less expensive than other court materials such as concrete or clay, making it a more budget-friendly option.

Easily maintained: Asphalt surfaces are relatively easy to maintain, which is important for a pickleball court with frequent use. Regular sweeping and cleaning can help to keep the court free of debris while sealing every couple of years can help to protect the surface from weathering and cracking. Any necessary repairs can be easily made by filling in cracks or holes with asphalt patching material.

Weather-resistant: Asphalt can withstand various weather conditions without becoming damaged or deteriorating.

Why Choose a Concrete Court

Durability: Concrete surfaces are incredibly durable and can withstand heavy use. It lasts longer than asphalt. This makes them an ideal choice for pickleball courts with a lot of activity. Concrete surfaces are also resistant to weathering, which helps to extend their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.

Low maintenance: Concrete surfaces require minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping and cleaning can help to keep the court free of debris, while periodic sealing can help to protect the surface from weathering and staining. Any necessary repairs needed can be easily made by filling in cracks or holes with concrete patching material.

Cost-effective: While the initial installation cost may be higher than asphalt, the long-term durability and low maintenance requirements of concrete can help to reduce costs over time.

Pickleball Court Built in Glen Head NY

Gappsi recently built a pickleball sports game court in Glen Head NY. The Pickleball court was installed using a recycled concrete base and three and a half inches (3 1/2 inches) of compacted asphalt, then painted with California Sports Surfaces court paint.

We used a dark blue for the Pickleball court area and a dark green for the out-of-bounce area. The court was striped with white lines to finish it.  

We installed an adjustable Dominator multisport court netting. For this application, we adjusted the net for Pickleball. The client wanted the court to be just for Pickleball.  However, the extension can always be added to adjust the netting to be badminton or volleyball.

Our team installed an all-aluminum adjustable Dominator basketball hoop. The Dominator Hoop is a professional-grade, in-ground basketball hoop perfect for your home driveway, backward, playground, or more.

The landscape for the court was designed to resemble an English garden with boxwood edging that was installed all around the perimeter of the Pickleball Sports Game Court.  This is the latest sports game court built by Gappsi in Glen Head located in Nassau County NY.
