If you're investing $200,000 or more in a tennis court on your Hamptons property, the foundation beneath your feet matters more than almost anything else. Most courts in the region are built on asphalt or standard concrete. Both crack. Both shift. Both fail. Post-tension concrete doesn't.

Every asphalt tennis court cracks. That's not a workmanship problem. It's not a maintenance failure. It's physics. In the Hamptons, where clay soils, high water tables, and freeze-thaw cycles push that flexibility to its limits, asphalt courts don't just crack — they fail.
