Tennis & Pickleball Court Reconstruction After Flooding at Bladen County Schools

What happens when severe flooding sidelines a community’s athletic courts just before the tennis season? For Bladen County Schools, it meant facing a challenge head-on and returning stronger than ever.

DESIGN + PLANNING

The existing high school tennis courts had suffered significant damage, making them unsafe and unfit for play. The project began with a clear objective: to remove the old courts and reconstruct new ones, offering lasting durability and top performance. We handled every aspect, from demolition to the design and selection of surface systems. The timeline was tight, with only two months to deliver before student athletes returned, but our commitment to reliability and quality guided every decision.

CONSTRUCTION + INSTALLATION

Rebuilding started from the ground up. Flooding had left unstable soil beneath the courts, requiring complete excavation and replacement with solid, supportive material. We managed every detail, installing new base layers, asphalt, surfacing, and expertly painted lines. Throughout the process, our project management team maintained on-site oversight, ensuring the finished courts were built to strict ASBA standards. The work stayed on schedule and within budget, providing Bladen County Schools with a facility ready for both student athletes and community play.

IMPACT + RESULTS

The result is more than a new court surface; it is a restored community asset. Since 2024, the courts have welcomed school tennis matches and recreational pickleball, attracting positive feedback from both the district and local residents. The courts match the district’s original vision for a high-caliber, welcoming facility and stand as proof of the trust placed in our team.
