Athletic Surfaces

Ruston Paving builds and repairs athletic and recreational surfaces such as tennis courts, pickleball courts, running tracks, and walking trails. The work can include new construction as well as rehabilitation of existing paved surfaces.

Cracked or deteriorated tennis and pickleball courts can often be repaired or rehabilitated depending on the condition of the pavement and underlying base. Ruston Paving evaluates the existing surface and subgrade to determine whether repairs, milling, full-depth reclamation, or more extensive reconstruction may be needed.

Large cracks in an athletic surface should be evaluated before new asphalt is placed because existing cracks can reflect through the new pavement. Depending on the pavement condition and available grades, milling or full-depth reclamation may be recommended to address deeper deterioration before the new surface is installed.

The length of an athletic surface paving project depends on the size and number of courts or tracks, the condition of the existing pavement, the amount of site preparation required, and the type of rehabilitation being completed. Smaller paving projects may be completed relatively quickly, while projects involving base repairs or reconstruction will require more time.

Athletic surface repairs can often be planned in phases or around a facility’s schedule to reduce disruption. Ruston Paving coordinates the work area, access, equipment, and project sequencing with the property owner or facility manager before construction begins.
