If your patio or asphalt sport court has cracks, low spots, or a rough bounce, the fix starts below the surface. Serving Mesa since 2017, Apex Asphalt Mesa builds and repairs smooth, properly sloped asphalt courts and patios with solid bases, tight joints, and clean edges.
Prep and base work decide how your court plays and how long it lasts. We start with layout, demolition or sawcut removal as needed, then grade for drainage with laser levels and stringline. Subgrade is proof-rolled and compacted, soft spots are undercut and replaced, and we install geotextile fabric when soils are unstable. A typical build uses 4-8 inches of compacted aggregate base (ABC) in lifts, compacted with a vibratory roller or plate compactor, then we set forms, edging, and transitions to concrete slabs, walkways, and gates.
Mesa heat, monsoon rain, and expansive clay pockets make drainage and surface density critical. We pave hot mix asphalt with a paver where access allows, or place by hand in tight yards, then compact to target density with a steel drum roller and finish with clean handwork at edges and around posts. Slope is tuned to move water off the play area without creating a noticeable tilt, and low areas are corrected with infrared repair or mill-and-overlay when needed. For traction and comfort, we can add acrylic court surfacing systems, color coats, and line striping after the asphalt cures, plus concrete curbing, channel drains, or spot drain inlets when the site requires it.
Mesa customers choose us because we do court work like pavement work, measured, compacted, and documented, not like a quick patch. You get a licensed and insured crew that understands base section thickness, compaction, and joint control, and we bring the right equipment for the job, skid steer, dump truck, asphalt saw, plate compactor, and rollers. We communicate clearly on access, staging, and cure times, and we keep the work area clean with tight tie-ins to existing concrete and landscape borders. Repairs are matched to the real failure mode, crack sealing for movement, asphalt patching for base failure, or overlays for widespread surface fatigue and roughness.
Before we wrap up, we do a final walkthrough with you and check drainage, edges, and surface tolerance for play. You will receive a written scope that lists base thickness, asphalt lift thickness, patch locations, and any surfacing or striping details, plus care guidance for the first 7-14 days as the asphalt firms up. If your project includes basketball, pickleball, or multi-sport, we review net post sleeves, fencing interfaces, and line layout so the court functions as intended. The result is a smooth, consistent surface that drains, plays true, and is easier to maintain over time.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after a site visit so we can verify square footage, access, and what prep is required.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, but vehicles should typically stay off for at least 24-48 hours depending on temperature, mix, and thickness. We’ll give you a specific reopen time at the jobsite.
Yes. We correct grades with milling, regrading, and asphalt leveling where appropriate, then pave to establish consistent slope and proper tie-ins at concrete, gutters, and entries.
Yes. We handle parking lot paving, overlays, patching, crack sealing, and sealcoating, and we can phase work to keep access open.
Crack sealing typically includes cleaning and sealing cracks with rubberized crack filler to reduce water intrusion. Sealcoating applies a protective coat over the surface after prep work, but it does not correct failed base or deep structural cracks.
An asphalt sport court is a performance surface, not just a paved pad. Bounce, traction, and water control depend on base stability, compaction, and a consistent finish. Apex Asphalt Mesa installs new asphalt courts and patios and repairs existing surfaces with methods that address the cause of failure, whether that is weak subgrade, poor drainage, aging asphalt, or reflective cracking. From small backyard practice courts to larger multi-use slabs for gyms, schools, and HOAs, we build to a clean layout, proper slope, and durable edge control.
For new installations, we focus on the section that carries the load. After excavation and grading, we compact subgrade, correct soft areas, and build a stable aggregate base, commonly 4-8 inches depending on soil and use. Asphalt is placed in one or more lifts and compacted with steel drum rolling, with careful handwork at perimeters, gates, and transitions to existing concrete. If you want a true sports finish, we coordinate cure time, then install acrylic resurfacer, color coats, and regulation-style striping for basketball, pickleball, volleyball, or multi-sport layouts.
For repairs, we start by identifying why the surface is failing. Linear cracks may need hot pour crack sealant, while alligator cracking and depressions often require full-depth patching down to the base. When a surface is generally sound but worn, a mill-and-overlay or overlay with proper leveling can restore smoothness and improve drainage. We can also add concrete curbing, channel drains, or spot drain corrections when water is the driver of damage.
If you are comparing bids for an asphalt sport court in Mesa, ask what base thickness is included, how compaction will be achieved, and how slope will be verified. Our estimates spell out materials, thicknesses, and the repair approach so you know what you are getting. Schedule a site visit and we will provide a free written estimate and a straightforward plan to get your patio or court playing right.
