Whether you’re a competitive player, a parent wanting to get kids active, or a homeowner looking to add unique value to your property, a private basketball court is a game-changer. At Crowall Surface Contractors, we design and build custom basketball courts across Scarborough—from Birchmount to Malvern, and everywhere in between.
Crowall’s Complete Basketball Court Services
We offer a full range of basketball court construction services tailored to Scarborough properties. No matter your budget, lot size, or performance requirements, we have a solution.
New Court Construction
We build half-courts and full-courts from the ground up. This includes site excavation, base installation, acrylic surfacing, line painting, and hoop installation. You get a turnkey solution with a single contractor.
Court Resurfacing & Repair
If you already have an old asphalt or concrete court that is cracked, faded, or uneven, we can restore it. We repair cracks, fix low spots, and apply a fresh acrylic coating. Resurfacing costs significantly less than a full rebuild and extends the life of your court by ten years or more.
Hoop Installation
A court is nothing without a hoop. We install professional-grade in-ground hoops from trusted brands like Spalding and Goalrilla. In-ground systems are anchored in concrete and will never tip or wobble. We also offer portable hoop installation for multi-use spaces.
Landscaping & Fencing
A basketball court does not exist in isolation. We offer full landscaping services to integrate your court into the rest of your property. This includes grading, sod installation, garden beds, and walkways. We also install perimeter fencing to keep the ball in play, define boundaries, and add privacy. Windscreen netting can be attached to fencing for a cleaner look and reduced glare.
Commercial & Institutional Projects
We build courts for schools, churches, community centres, and condo corporations across Scarborough. These projects often require regulatory dimensions, higher durability standards, and permit compliance. We have experience delivering all of it.
How We Build Your Basketball Court
We follow a proven process. Each step is carefully executed to ensure quality, durability, and a court you will enjoy for years.
Site Visit and Consultation
We visit your Scarborough property to measure available space, assess the slope, check soil conditions, and discuss your goals. We help you choose size, surface type, and optional features like fencing or landscaping.
Excavation and Base Preparation
We excavate organic topsoil and unsuitable material, then install a compacted granular base of stone and gravel. The base is laser-graded to ensure perfect drainage and prevent frost heave.
Base Surface Installation
We pour either asphalt or concrete, depending on your budget and performance needs. Asphalt is cost-effective and popular. Concrete is ultra-durable and requires less long-term maintenance.
Acrylic Surfacing System
We apply a professional acrylic system including a cushion layer for joint protection, a UV-resistant colour layer in your chosen colours, and precision-striped regulation lines.
Hoop Installation
Once the acrylic surface is fully cured, we install your in-ground hoop system. The hoop is anchored in a concrete footing for maximum stability and professional performance.
Landscaping and Fencing
We restore the surrounding area with grading, sod, garden beds, and walkways. We also install perimeter fencing to contain balls and define the court boundaries.
Final Clean-Up and Handover
We clean the entire site, remove all debris, and walk you through basic maintenance. Your court is ready for play.

FAQ
The cost of basketball court construction depends on the type of surface, groundswork and court size. A quality half-court with an asphalt base, acrylic surfacing, and an in-ground hoop typically starts between twenty thousand and thirty-five thousand dollars. Full courts, concrete bases, fencing, and landscaping add to the cost. We provide a free, detailed quote after visiting your property.

Most Scarborough basketball court projects are completed in four to eight weeks from start to finish, depending on weather and site conditions. This includes site assessment, permit applications, excavation, base installation, curing time, acrylic surfacing, line painting, hoop installation, landscaping, fencing, and final clean-up.
