Apex Asphalt San Jose builds and restores asphalt patios and sport courts with the right base, proper drainage, and clean edges for long-term performance. Serving since 2018, we handle new asphalt sport court installation, crack repair, resurfacing, and re-striping with clear specs and a written scope.
Prep and base work decide whether an asphalt sport court stays smooth or starts alligator cracking. We start with layout, grading, and drainage planning, then excavate to sound subgrade and compact with a vibratory plate compactor or roller. Typical sections include 4-8 inches of Class 2 aggregate base (Caltrans spec) placed in lifts and compacted, followed by 2-3 inches of hot mix asphalt (HMA) installed with an asphalt paver and tight handwork at edges, transitions, and posts. Where soils are weak or pumping, we stabilize the subgrade and add geotextile fabric or additional base to prevent settlement.
San Jose conditions make water management and heat resistance non-negotiable, so we shape the surface for positive flow and avoid low spots that create birdbaths. After paving, we roll to density, check straightedge tolerance, and keep joints tight to reduce raveling. For patios, we can tie into concrete walks, drain inlets, or mow-bands with clean sawcut edges. For play surfaces, we prep for sport coatings and acrylic color systems (when requested), then apply striping for basketball key and lines, pickleball, or multi-sport layouts with regulation measurements and clear contrast.
San Jose property owners choose us because we install like contractors, not painters with a squeegee. We bring the right equipment and process for the job size, from skid steer excavation and laser grading to paver placement and steel-drum rolling. You get a written estimate, clear thickness and base specs, and honest recommendations on whether patching, infrared repair, or full resurfacing makes the most sense. As a licensed and insured asphalt contractor serving since 2018, we schedule cleanly, protect adjacent concrete and landscaping, and keep the site safe and organized.
The final walkthrough is where the details show. We verify drainage, surface smoothness, edges, and transitions, then review any crack seal, patch limits, or coating and striping scope so you know exactly what was completed. You receive care guidance for curing and early use, including when to open to foot traffic, bikes, and vehicles, plus maintenance timing for crack sealing and sealcoating. If your asphalt sport court needs repairs, we can match elevations, sawcut clean patch perimeters, and blend into the surrounding mat so the play surface stays predictable. Call for a free written estimate and we will measure, spec the section, and map out a plan that fits your budget and timeline.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the recommended scope, measured quantities, and the materials and steps included.
Yes. We regularly transition asphalt to garage slabs, sidewalks, and existing concrete, using clean sawcut edges where needed and proper compaction at the joint to reduce separation.
Repair scope depends on the failure, but may include sawcut and removal, base rebuild with aggregate, compaction, hot mix placement, and edge sealing. We can also add crack sealing and sealcoating where appropriate.
Yes. We stripe stalls, arrows, fire lanes, and accessible markings, and we can coordinate layouts for re-striping after paving or sealcoating.
Yes. For active businesses, we can phase paving or resurfacing, set cure windows, and plan access routes to reduce downtime.
An asphalt sport court should play fast, drain correctly, and stay consistent season after season. Apex Asphalt San Jose installs and repairs asphalt patios and sport courts using graded base rock, hot mix asphalt, proper compaction, and clean detailing, then finishes with optional acrylic color coating and regulation striping. Whether you need a new slab, a resurfacing, or targeted repairs, we build the surface from the ground up so it performs like a court, not a parking patch.
A quality asphalt sport court starts with the base. We evaluate the subgrade, correct soft spots, and compact in lifts before placing Class 2 aggregate base to the thickness the site needs. Then we pave with HMA at controlled thickness, roll to density, and check smoothness so ball bounce and footing stay consistent. Edges, corners, and transitions get extra attention because that is where raveling and cracking typically start.
For existing courts and patios, we repair what is failing and keep what is stable. Common fixes include routing and hot rubber crack sealing, sawcut and remove patching for alligator-cracked areas, and leveling courses to correct low spots before resurfacing. If you want a finished play surface, we can prep and apply an acrylic color system and stripe for basketball, pickleball, or multi-sport layouts with accurate dimensions.
If you are comparing bids, ask for base depth, asphalt thickness, and how drainage will be handled, not just a price per square foot. We provide a free written estimate in San Jose, explain the section we recommend, and walk you through options that match your goals, from a durable patio to a true asphalt sport court built for long-term use.
