We recently built a custom basketball court in Southampton, NY.  At Gappsi, we specialize in creating beautiful and functional outdoor living spaces, and one of our latest projects is a perfect example of craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail. Recently, we had the pleasure of designing and installing a custom basketball court in Southampton, NY, built to fit the homeowner’s unique space and style preferences. Using high-quality Mateflex tiles, a Dominator basketball hoop, and carefully planned design features, this court is not only practical for play but also a stunning addition to the property.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the entire project from the design to the materials used.  We will also highlight why Mateflex basketball courts are such a popular choice for homeowners looking to elevate their outdoor living experience.

Not every property has the same space available for a full-sized basketball court, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the game. For this Southampton project, we designed a custom-sized court to maximize the area while still keeping the game authentic and fun.

The court includes a 3-point line, although it was slightly scaled down to fit the available space. This gives the homeowners and their guests the whole basketball experience.  Shooting, dribbling, and gameplay while making the most of the property layout.

The Mateflex Tile System

The foundation of this project lies in the Mateflex tile system, one of the most trusted names in sports flooring. For this installation, we first prepared an asphalt base, ensuring a smooth and solid surface for durability. Then, we installed Mateflex TopCourt tiles, designed explicitly for outdoor basketball courts.

What makes Mateflex tiles so special?

  • Shock Absorption & Comfort – They reduce stress on joints, making the game more enjoyable and safer.
  • All-Weather Durability – The tiles are resistant to weather extremes, from summer heat to winter frost, ensuring longevity.
  • Low Maintenance – They are easy to clean, resistant to fading, and require little upkeep compared to traditional surfaces.
  • Performance Quality – With excellent ball response and traction, they mimic the feel of a professional basketball surface.

custom-basketball-court-installation-in-southampton-ny-3For this Southampton project, the homeowners chose a vibrant color scheme that brought the court to life:

  • Red tiles for the border.
  • Navy blue tiles for the inlay.
  • Royal blue tiles for the keys.

The contrast of bold blues against the striking red border created a modern, eye-catching design. To finish it off, we carefully added white striping to outline the court lines, ensuring both style and function.

The Dominator 72-Inch Adjustable Basketball Hoop

A court is only as good as the hoop that goes with it. For this installation, we installed a Dominator 72-inch basketball hoop, one of the top choices for residential courts.

What sets this hoop apart is its adjustability. Players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the court by lowering or raising the hoop to the desired height. Whether kids are practicing layups or adults are playing a competitive game, the Dominator hoop is built for performance and durability. Made with heavy-duty materials, it can withstand the demands of daily use while maintaining its sleek, professional look.

One of the challenges of building a backyard court is keeping the ball contained. To solve this, we surrounded the Southampton court with out-of-bounds netting on three sides. This netting ensures that basketballs stay within the play area, reducing the chance of lost balls and protecting the surrounding property.

In addition to functionality, aesthetics were also a priority for this project. We built a Cumaru wood wall on one side of the court. While the netting provides containment, the Cumaru wall offers a warm, natural design element that complements the outdoor setting. Cumaru wood, known for its durability and rich color, serves as both a functional barrier and a beautiful architectural feature.

Synthetic Fringe for a Finished Look

Attention to detail is what truly elevates a project. To complete the basketball court design, we added a 1-foot-wide synthetic turf fringe around the entire perimeter. This not only frames the court beautifully but also provides a clean, polished transition from the playing surface to the surrounding landscape. The turf creates a softer edge, reducing dirt and debris from tracking onto the court, while enhancing the overall visual appeal.

Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting System | Queens, N.Y

When building a pickleball sports game court with out of bounce netting system, selecting the right surface material is essential for playing at the highest level. The surface affects the court’s playability, safety, and maintenance.

Surface Material and Construction

The choice of surface material greatly affects the court’s playability and maintenance. Asphalt and concrete are the most common materials used for pickleball courts, each with advantages and disadvantages. Asphalt is more affordable and offers a softer surface, while concrete provides a more durable and low-maintenance option. Regardless of the material chosen, it’s essential to ensure a smooth finish to prevent injuries and enhance the playing experience.

Asphalt is a popular choice for pickleball courts due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. It provides a hard, smooth surface that is ideal for fast-paced games.

Asphalt courts can withstand heavy use and weather conditions, making them a long-lasting option.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.yAsphalt Pickleball Sports Game Court Pros:

  • Durability: Asphalt is highly durable and can last many years with proper maintenance.
  • Cost-effective: Compared to other surface materials, asphalt is relatively inexpensive.
  • Low Maintenance: Asphalt courts require minimal maintenance, usually limited to occasional cleaning and resurfacing.

Asphalt Pickleball Sports Game Court Cons:

  • Hard Surface: The hardness of asphalt can be tough on players’ joints, especially during extended play.
  • Heat Absorption: Asphalt absorbs heat, making the surface hot and potentially uncomfortable during sunny days.

Concrete is another durable and long-lasting surface material for pickleball courts. It provides a hard, smooth playing surface similar to asphalt but with a few distinct differences.

Concrete Pickleball Sports Game Court Pros:

  • Longevity: Concrete courts can last for decades if properly maintained.
  • Smooth Surface: Concrete provides an even and consistent playing surface.
  • Stability: Concrete is less likely to develop cracks or deformities than asphalt.

Concrete Pickleball Sports Game Court Cons:

  • Cost: Concrete is more expensive to install than asphalt.
  • Hard-on Joints: Like asphalt, the hard surface of concrete can be tough on players’ joints.
  • Maintenance: While concrete is durable, any cracks that do develop can be more challenging to repair.

In our recent project in Queens, N.Y., we installed two pickable courts over the existing asphalt tennis court area with two other tennis courts left existing.

We used part of the existing tennis courts and installed Mateflex tiles over the asphalt to build two pickleball sports game courts. The Mateflex tile features a narrow gauge rib system for quick drainage, high traction, and good ball bite (less skid), which is ideal for tennis court resurfacing. This is comparable to using a narrow gauge racquet string. Even after many years of wear and tear, these ribs will maintain the same width and, therefore, the same playing speed.

Each Mateflex tile has 32 individual interlocks and surrounding modules for superior court integrity. The interlocking tile is firm for a stable playing platform and reinforced for exceptional strength and longevity, which is necessary for any tennis or pickleball court design.

Pickleball Court Lines and Marking

The client chose maroon red for the outer court perimeter and royal blue for the pickleball insert.  In addition, we installed out-of-bounce netting with aluminum poles to separate the two courts to help contain the balls within each court.  

Sports netting, also known as ball stop netting, keeps balls in play and out of spectator areas to protect players, spectators, and property. Netting provides players an extra layer of safety, allowing them to play confidently. It also keeps balls from flying into areas where spectators could be injured. Netting prevents balls from traveling into areas that could cause damage and aids in maintaining consistent play.  Sports game court netting also keeps the balls within the boundaries, ensuring fair competition.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.y-2Out-of-bounds netting can be custom-built to fit any size space and is made from durable materials that can withstand heavy impacts and harsh weather conditions.

Pickleball sports game court netting by Dominator was installed, which can also be extended higher for playing a volleyball game.  

Synthetic Turf for Sports Game Court Fringe

Our team installed synthetic turf fringe all around the court. It is also a visual border as a transition from the Mateflex polypropylene tile to the lower asphalt base.

The second tennis court will eventually be remodeled into a new tennis court, or we might put pickable courts sideways. The clients will use this for now and decide whether to keep the old tennis court or add more pickable courts and possibly a putting green. This is the latest sports game court installation done by Gappsi in Queens, NY.
