Types of Asphalt Sports Courts
Asphalt is a versatile and durable surface, making it a popular choice for a wide variety of sports courts. Whether it’s for professional use, recreational activities, or multi-purpose spaces, asphalt provides a smooth, reliable, and cost-effective foundation. From tennis and basketball to pickleball and netball, each court can be tailored to meet specific requirements, including line markings, surface coatings, and cushioning for enhanced player comfort and safety. The adaptability of asphalt ensures it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, delivering long-lasting performance in various settings.
Tennis Courts
An asphalt tennis court demands a smooth, consistent surface for proper ball bounce and traction. Using softer asphalt, we construct specialised tennis courts with correct hot mix asphalt and surface course mixtures. Precise grading, curing processes, and a colour surface coating system meet tennis courts’ unique requirements for an ideal playing experience.
Netball Courts
Netball requires a low-bounce, even surface for consistent ball response. Our netball court construction uses an asphalt binder following Australian sports guidelines. The asphalt mix design with a dense graded aggregate and proper lift thickness helps the asphalt perform as required, unlike roadways where inadequate lift thickness can cause issues.
Basketball Courts
These athletic courts, specifically for basketball, must withstand frequent high-impact play. Our durable asphalt mixes using recycled asphalt pavements and virgin material mix designs provide the necessary traction, shock absorption, and stability for dynamic basketball gameplay on new basketball courts. Correct asphalt mix design, not only the mat but also proper lift thickness, is critical.
Pickball Courts
Elevate your pickleball game with expertly designed and constructed asphalt pickleball courts. Asphalt is an ideal choice for pickleball due to its smooth, even surface, which ensures consistent ball bounce and optimal gameplay. Whether for a backyard, community center, or sports complex, our asphalt pickleball courts combine quality, affordability, and professional-grade performance.
Multi Use
We design versatile multiuse courts optimised for accommodating different sports, such as volleyball and pickleball, on one surface. Careful considerations for dimensions, athletic asphalt materials and sport-specific features allow these cost-effective sports courts to meet diverse athletic needs at recreation facilities. The asphalt consists of a fine-graded, finer-graded mix requiring proper production practices to achieve maximum compaction.
Hot Mix Asphalt for Your Sports Court
When constructing athletic courts, selecting the right hot mix asphalt (HMA) is critical for durability, performance, and longevity. A low-volume, fine-graded mix design with virgin materials is ideal for surface lifts, ensuring a dense, even layer that resists cracking and surface failures. Proper lift thickness, typically with a maximum aggregate size of 1/2 inch and a minimum 1 1/2-inch lift, is essential to prevent issues like stone cracking or permeability that can compromise the court’s integrity. Finer gradations and higher in-place density, with air voids no greater than 6%, enhance the asphalt’s strength and compatibility with athletic coatings, avoiding premature failures.
At Whitleah Asphalt, we prioritise precise mix designs, stringent production practices, and expert installation to deliver high-quality courts that stand the test of time. Learn more about the advantages of hot mix asphalt by visiting our Hot Mix Asphalt page.
