Tennis Court Construction & Resurfacing
Atlas provides tennis court construction for schools, clubs and facilities across Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC.
Whether you’re starting from bare ground or working with a court that’s seen better days, we handle it. Our team builds new courts and restores existing ones, so the right approach depends on your site and how your current court is holding up. If you’re not sure which one fits, that’s exactly what our first conversation is for.
Tennis Court Construction
Building a new court starts long before the surface goes down. We assess your site, plan the layout and prepare a base that’s built to last, since a rushed base is where most court problems start. Our tennis court installation process covers:
- Site assessment: We check the soil, grading and available space to confirm the site can support a new court.
- Planning: We size the court correctly and map out the layout before we break ground.
- Base preparation: We build a stable foundation designed to hold up to consistent play for years.
- Drainage: We direct water away from the court so it doesn’t pool on the surface or erode the base underneath.
- Surfacing and line marking: We finish with the right surface for your site and accurate lines for regulation play.
Every step is done in order, because skipping ahead on any one of them shows up in the court later.
Tennis Court Resurfacing and Crack Repair
If your court already has a solid base, tennis court resurfacing may be all it needs to play like new again. We start by assessing the current surface and base condition, since that’s what determines whether resurfacing is needed or if deeper work is needed first. From there, our process includes:
- Surface assessment: We check for cracking, fading and wear patterns to see what the court actually needs.
- Preparation: We ensure existing surfaces are cleaned and prepared for proper bonding of new coatings.
- Crack repair: We fill in the cracks at the surface level before recoating so that they will not show up immediately.
- Coatings: We apply new coatings specifically recommended for the use and location of your court.
- Line marking: We repaint accurate, regulation lines so the court is ready for play.
Tennis court repair works well when the base underneath is strong. If it isn’t, resurfacing alone won’t fix what’s happening below the surface and we’ll tell you that upfront.
Construction or Resurfacing: Which Does Your Court Need?
This is usually the first question we help answer. A new site or a court with a failed or unstable base, typically needs new construction or a more significant tennis court renovation. A court with a stable base but a worn or cracked surface is often a good option for resurfacing or restoration instead.
We can tell which one your court needs from a phone call. A site visit tells us what’s really going on underneath and that’s what shapes our recommendation.
Court Surfaces and Features
Outdoor tennis courts need to hold up to sun, rain and everyday wear without losing their playing surface. We factor that into every project, along with a few other details that affect how the court performs over time, like:
- Surface color and finish: We offer options suited to your court’s use and setting.
- Regulation line markings: Every court is marked accurately for standard play.
- Drainage planning: We plan drainage so water moves off the court instead of pooling on it.
- Fencing: We add fencing where your project or site calls for it.
We’ll walk you through which options fit your site and budget once we’ve seen the court in person.
Project Process
Each project follows the same well-defined process, and you always know what is up next:
- Consultation: We get to know your court, your objectives and your timeline.
- Site review: We go to the site to evaluate the existing surface and base.
- Scope and surface selection: We provide an explanation of the work required and the surface options available.
- Construction or repair: Our team does the foundation work for repair or new build.
- Surfacing and markings: Coatings and court lines are applied as surfacing and markings.
- Final review and handover: We walk the finished court with you before calling it complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on site conditions, court size and whether you need new construction or resurfacing. We quote a project-specific estimate following an on-site assessment.
Resurfacing is suitable when the bottom of the surface is firm but top sections have become cracked, faded or worn. We first check your court’s condition before deciding whether to resurface or to complete a full construction.
If there are cracks in the surface they can sometimes be fixed during the resurfacing process. If cracking is deeper or extensive, it could indicate underlying foundation problems that should be resolved before the cracking.
Timelines depend on project scope, site conditions and weather. We’ll give you a realistic schedule once we understand the full extent of the work.
The right surface depends on your climate exposure, budget and how the court will be used. We’ll review these factors with you during the site assessment.
