Tennis Court Construction in Springville, UT
The public tennis courts in Springville were old, and the concrete and fencing both had real problems. They did not need replacing. They needed repairing properly, which is a different piece of work and a much cheaper one.
What a court renovation actually involves
Some of the concrete had sunk and been layered over at some point. The significant cracks were filled and the surface resurfaced to give the courts another life. Drainage had failed in places and was holding water, so the slope was put back where it had gone.
None of that is glamorous and all of it is what decides whether the courts last another decade or need doing again in three years.
Keeping what can be kept
The fencing came out, but not all of it. Where old poles could be kept, they were cut down and new poles slid inside them, so the parts already set in concrete stayed in use.
The light poles were replaced and upgraded while reusing as much of the existing wiring as possible. On a public facility that is the difference between a renovation and a rebuild.
Why these courts needed it
The clay underneath is the likely reason. These courts were built thick — thicker than you would expect — and clay is still what moves under them over the years.
It is a useful thing to know before commissioning a new court: what is under it matters more over twenty years than what is on top of it.

Springville City Tennis Courts
These courts were already here and in poor shape. This was a repair, not a new build. The concrete had trouble in several places. Some of it had sunk and been layered over at some point; the significant cracks were filled and the surface resurfaced to give the courts another life rather than replacing them outright. Drainage had failed in places and was holding water, so the slope was put back where it had gone. The fencing came out, but not all of it. Where old poles could be kept, they were cut down and new poles slid inside them, so the parts already set in concrete stayed in use. The light poles were replaced and upgraded while reusing as much of the existing wiring as possible. Resurfaced in traditional tennis colours. The clay underneath is probably why they needed the work. These courts were built thick — thicker than you would expect — and clay is still what moves under them over the years.
Questions we get asked in Springville
Can old tennis courts be repaired rather than replaced?
Usually. If the base is sound, filling cracks, resurfacing and correcting drainage costs far less than a rebuild and is the right call.
Can existing fence posts and lighting be reused?
Often, partly. Old poles can sometimes be cut and sleeved, and existing wiring can frequently carry upgraded lights. It is worth checking before budgeting for all-new.
Do you work for municipalities?
Yes. The courts on this page are the Springville city courts next to the parks and recreation building.
