What kind of base materials are best to build a basketball court?

Concrete is the first and best choice for a home basketball court. While often the most costly base option, concrete is going to give you the best performance and long-term results. A typical concrete pad for a backyard basketball court will consist of a 4″ pad with steel reinforced rebar and saw cut expansion joints. The key point is to ensure that your concrete is level and has a minimal slope.

A common alternative to concrete is an asphalt pad. This is a popular selection since materials and installation are typically less expensive than concrete. As with concrete, ensure the asphalt is level and has a minimal slope. The finish should be relatively smooth and not have any large aggregate. This will work well as long as you don’t have any large tree roots that could grow under the court. Asphalt Basketball Courts tend to require much more maintenance.
