Apex Asphalt Lakewood builds and restores asphalt patios and asphalt sport court surfaces that play true, drain right, and hold up to Colorado freeze-thaw. Serving since 2019, we handle new installation, resurfacing, crack repair, patching, and sport court overlays in Lakewood for homes, HOAs, and facilities.
A good asphalt sport court starts below the surface. We excavate to design depth, proof-roll the subgrade, correct soft spots, and install a compacted aggregate base using graded road base (typically 4-8 inches, adjusted for soils and loads). Proper compaction is verified with a plate compactor or vibratory roller, and we set grades for positive drainage before paving. When needed, we add geotextile fabric for separation, install edging restraints, and plan transitions to concrete, pavers, or existing pavement so the court or patio does not unravel at the borders.
Lakewood’s sun, snowmelt, and temperature swings punish flatwork that is too thin or holds water. We pave with hot-mix asphalt in lifts, then compact to a tight, uniform mat with a steel drum roller to reduce segregation and future raveling. For sport playability, we fine-tune slope, typically aiming for subtle cross-slope that moves water without affecting ball response, then correct birdbaths with infrared repair or skin patching where appropriate. Finish options include a clean rolled edge, sawcut joints at tie-ins, and acrylic sport court coatings with striping for basketball, pickleball, and multi-use game courts after the asphalt has cured.
Lakewood customers choose us because we build courts like pavement, not like a quick driveway pour. You get a crew that understands base density, lift thickness, and drainage, plus the right equipment for consistent compaction and clean edges. We communicate clearly about sequencing, cure time, coating windows, and how to protect a new surface from kickstands, furniture legs, and point loads. Since 2019 we have focused on asphalt work only, so repairs match the surrounding grade and texture instead of creating trip lips and patchwork puddles.
Before we leave, we do a walkthrough with you and confirm slope, tie-ins, and surface uniformity, then review maintenance that actually extends life: sealing intervals, crack routing and filling, and keeping water off the pavement. You receive a written scope with thickness targets, base details, and repair limits so you know what was built and what was corrected. If your project includes coatings and lines, we mark out dimensions, confirm layout, and schedule the next visit after the asphalt is ready. The goal is simple, a patio or asphalt sport court that drains, plays consistently, and stays serviceable for years.
We close every job with cleanup and a clear plan for opening the surface to foot traffic and equipment. That includes guidance on initial curing, when to place posts or hoops, and how long to wait before sealing or coating based on weather. For repairs, we identify cracks likely to reflect back through and recommend the right fix, crack fill, full-depth patch, infrared rework, or an overlay, so you are not paying twice. You end up with documented work, predictable performance, and a surface that is easier to maintain season after season.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the scope, materials (hot-mix asphalt, tack coat, crack sealant, sealcoat), and an expected schedule.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, and vehicle traffic is typically allowed after the asphalt cools and gains initial stability. We give site-specific guidance based on thickness, temperature, and turning movements.
Often, yes. We can do targeted repairs like saw-cut remove and replace, full-depth patching, or infrared patching, then blend the repairs into a maintenance plan such as crack filling and sealcoating.
Yes. We can restripe after paving or sealcoating, including stall lines, fire lanes, directional arrows, and accessible markings, based on your layout and requirements.
Prep typically includes demolition or milling if needed, grading for drainage, compacting aggregate base, addressing soft spots, applying tack coat where new asphalt meets existing pavement, and compacting hot-mix with vibratory rollers for density.
An asphalt sport court needs more than a smooth blacktop finish, it needs a stable base, correct slope, and compaction that keeps the surface tight through Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles. Apex Asphalt Lakewood installs new courts and patios and repairs existing surfaces for homeowners, HOAs, churches, and small facilities in Lakewood, CO. Whether you are building a multi-use game court or fixing cracks and low spots, we focus on playability, drainage, and long-term maintenance costs.
For new asphalt sport court installation, we start with grading and base construction. A well-compacted road base supports the asphalt and helps prevent shifting, settlement, and edge break. We shape the subgrade, address drainage paths, and set clean tie-ins to concrete walks, aprons, or curbs. Then we pave with hot-mix asphalt and compact to a consistent mat so the court plays evenly and holds coatings better.
For asphalt sport court repair, we match the fix to the failure. Linear cracks may need routing and crack filling, while alligator cracking and pumping usually require full-depth patching to correct the base. Low areas that hold water can be corrected with infrared repair, skin patching, or leveling and overlay work depending on depth and condition. After repairs, we can coordinate acrylic color coating and striping so the surface looks clean and performs like a dedicated court.
If you are planning a new court or trying to extend the life of an existing one, ask for a free written estimate. We will review drainage, base stability, thickness needs, and a realistic timeline for paving, curing, and any coatings so you can budget and schedule with confidence.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in Lakewood. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
