Court Demolition And Reconstruction Questions

Patches only address the surface. If the real issue is movement in the base, poor drainage, or soil settling beneath the slab, those forces will push new cracks through regardless of how many times the surface is patched.

That depends on the condition of the court and the plan for the new build. Demolition can include the old surface, the damaged base layer, and any failed material beneath it, all hauled off-site before the new sub-base is laid.

Base condition, surface slope, drainage, and any hidden damage below the slab should all be assessed first. Those factors determine whether the new court will stay level and usable over time, so the on-site evaluation covers each one.

A deteriorating base continues to move with moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. Each patch season adds cost without fixing the cause, and the court becomes progressively more uneven and unsafe until a full demolition is unavoidable anyway.

Yes. Fencing and lighting replacement can be added to the same itemised estimate so the full rebuild is costed together from the start, with one point of contact for the entire job.
