FAQs
Frequentlyaskedquestions
Straight answers about building, rebuilding and surfacing tennis and pickleball courts.
Why does Trans Texas Tennis build courts with post-tensioned concrete?
Post-tensioned slabs use high-strength steel cables embedded in the concrete. Once tensioned, the cables place the slab in permanent compression, resisting ground movement and structural cracking. The method has been proven over the last 50 years and outlasts traditional asphalt or standard concrete courts by decades.
Can you fix a cracked tennis court without tearing it out?
Yes. Our Post-Tensioned Concrete Overlay System places a heavy-duty post-tensioned slab directly over the existing court. It avoids demolition and hauling costs, corrects slope and drainage problems, keeps existing fencing and lighting, and gives you a brand-new playing surface.
What kinds of courts do you build?
Tennis, pickleball, basketball and 10-and-Under courts, from single backyard courts to multi-court facilities for Division I universities, high schools, country clubs, tennis clubs and city parks. We have built more than 4,000 courts and surfaced more than 6,000.
Can I choose my court color and speed?
Yes. Owners select the court speed (slow, medium or fast) and the colors. We surface asphalt and concrete courts with acrylic and cushioned systems, follow ITF guidelines, and complete every court to American Sports Builders Association guidelines.
Do you work with architects and general contractors?
Yes. As designer-builder we provide engineered drawings for owners and governing authorities. As a subcontractor we provide shop drawings, specifications and layouts for architects, engineers and general contractors, to ASBA, USTA and collegiate specifications.
Do you install tennis court lighting?
Yes. We design and install photometric, low-level lighting systems with sharp cutoffs and minimal light pollution, including LED systems, so players get more court time without disturbing neighbors.
Where does Trans Texas Tennis work?
We are based in Houston and serve Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Our team has been involved in court construction in more than 40 states and 5 countries.
