Repair and Resurfacing
Is your tennis court beginning to fade? Are there birdbaths all over the court? Is the concrete beginning to flake off? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, it may be time to repair and resurface your tennis court. Resurfacing is a cost effective way to bring back the beauty and restore your court. It is important to note that all structural cracks will come back. If your court has a lot of cracks and structural problems, an asphalt overlay or concrete post tensioned overlay may be the best options. Merritt only uses the best products available for surfacing courts: These include Plexipave, Advantage, etc.
