Outdoor basketball courts are where athletes hone their skills, communities gather, and games are played under open skies. But the heart of every great outdoor court lies beneath the players’ feet — in the flooring. A superior surface can mean the difference between years of reliable play and a court that cracks, fades, or loses traction in just a few seasons.
At Legendary Sports Construction, every outdoor basketball court is engineered to deliver enduring quality, superior performance, and safety. Whether you’re outfitting a residential backyard, a neighborhood park, or a school recreation area, we design surfaces that combine resilience, aesthetics, and playability.
A great outdoor basketball surface performs as beautifully as it looks. It must endure constant exposure to sun, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations while maintaining grip, elasticity, and bounce consistency. In the Southwest — particularly in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah — extreme UV exposure and temperature swings test the limits of inferior materials.
High-quality outdoor basketball flooring is engineered to resist cracking, fading, and warping. It should provide dependable traction for sharp pivots and smooth transitions while offering a bit of cushioning to reduce joint strain. Most importantly, it needs to stay safe and functional even after years of heavy use.
These interlocking polymer tiles are the go-to solution for fast, efficient installations. Designed for superior drainage and slip resistance, modular tiles are ideal for residential and commercial courts alike. Their cushioned underlayer reduces fatigue while enhancing comfort, and their perforated design ensures water never pools after rain. Available in multiple colors and patterns, modular tiles bring both style and practicality to the game.
Acrylic surfaces are the standard for many professional outdoor courts. This layered system—applied over concrete or asphalt—creates a smooth, colorful, and durable finish that’s both visually striking and high-performing. Acrylic coatings resist UV rays and harsh weather, making them perfect for desert climates. They also allow for precise line painting and customization, ensuring your court stands out while staying compliant with regulation play standards.
For those prioritizing comfort and shock absorption, rubberized surfacing offers exceptional resilience. These surfaces are slightly softer underfoot, helping to reduce impact injuries during intense gameplay. They also perform well in multipurpose environments, where courts are used for various sports or fitness activities.

Outdoor courts endure brutal heat and relentless sunlight. Quality surfacing materials resist fading and maintain elasticity, even under extreme UV exposure.
Safety starts with grip. Non-slip textures ensure reliable footing during quick cuts, jumps, and pivots, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Choose from an array of color palettes, team logos, and regulation line markings. Each court becomes a reflection of personality, brand, or community pride.
Premium court systems require minimal upkeep. They resist dust buildup, can be easily rinsed clean, and maintain their performance year after year.
From beginners learning the basics to competitive players practicing drills, these surfaces support every level of athletic ability with consistent bounce and stability.
Our team begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, location, and usage goals. We analyze sunlight exposure, elevation, and soil condition to recommend the optimal layout and surface type.
Every great court starts with a stable foundation. We grade and compact the base material—typically concrete or asphalt—to create a perfectly level and secure surface that ensures longevity.
Once the foundation is ready, we install the chosen surfacing system. For modular tiles, each interlocking piece is precisely fitted; for acrylic or rubberized systems, coatings are evenly applied and sealed for smoothness and resilience.
The finishing details define the court’s character. Our professionals apply regulation lines, logos, and optional features such as fencing, lighting, and anti-UV topcoats to complete the build.
