Tennis Court Construction Services in Martinez, CA
Martinez takes in the Carquinez Strait waterfront, the hillsides above downtown, a Victorian downtown grid and the Alhambra Valley estates. Saviano Co. Inc., in business for over 60 years, has been building tennis courts, for homes, schools, clubs and public facilities.
Each tennis court in Martinez is planned for its own property, from a waterfront lot to a valley estate.
Four Distinct Construction Zones Inside a Single City Boundary
The waterfront properties near the Carquinez Strait sit on former tidal flats with wind off the water. The refinery corridor lies west of downtown. The historic Victorian downtown grid has narrow streets and established neighborhoods.
Saviano Co. Inc. builds tennis courts in each of these parts of the city.
Four Parts of the City
Martinez's four-zone geography takes in the tidal waterfront, the industrial corridor, the Victorian downtown and the hillsides, and each part can request a court of its own.
Martinez Geography, Waterfront to Valley
The Strait channels marine air eastward through a topographic gap, and afternoon wind is a regular feature along the waterfront and the lower waterfront neighborhoods.
Move inland from the Strait and the terrain rises into the rolling hills of Alhambra Valley and the hillside residential neighborhoods above downtown.
The Victorian downtown grid between the waterfront and the hills keeps its historic streetscapes and narrow streets, and properties in or beside the historic district can request a court as well.
Above the downtown grid, Alhambra Valley's estate properties occupy larger parcels with rolling terrain and mature landscaping, and courts there are placed to suit the landscape.
Carquinez Strait Wind
Afternoon wind channels through the Carquinez Strait, and waterfront courts can include windscreens and fencing.
Tidal Bay Mud Near the Strait
Waterfront properties sit on former tidal flats close to the Strait.
Victorian Downtown Staging
Central Martinez keeps narrow streets and a historic district character.
Summer Thermal Load
Upper hillside and valley neighborhoods inland from the Strait see real summer heat, and court colors are chosen with that in mind.
Surface Systems for Martinez Courts
Each surface system is chosen for the specific site, the people who will play on it, and how the owner wants it to sit on the property.
Acrylic Hard Court Systems
Acrylic hard courts come in a range of colors and textures, and sites with full southern or western exposure often choose lighter colors.
Cushioned Surface Systems
Cushioned systems are available for estate residential courts where families play regularly, and for institutional courts in daily use.
Custom Striping and Color Design
Custom color layouts — playing zone, surround, and boundary treatments — are selected in concert with the surrounding landscape and architectural character of each Martinez property.
Court Lighting Systems
Saviano Co. Inc. designs and installs full court lighting systems, as part of a new court or added to an existing one.
Multi-Court Installations
Saviano Co. Inc. builds multi-court installations for clubs, schools and larger estates.
Dual-Use Court Layouts
Tennis courts can carry pickleball lines as well, laid out together on a new court or added at resurfacing.
Planning a Tennis Court in Martinez
The questions that consistently arise at the beginning of a court project in Martinez and the Contra Costa corridor — answered before a construction scope is set.
Afternoon wind along the waterfront and lower hillside neighborhoods arrives from the southwest to west as marine air channels through the Strait. Court placement, windscreens and fencing are discussed for each Martinez site during the consultation.
Court Construction Scope
Surface System Installation
The court's surface system, acrylic or cushioned, is installed in the colors chosen for the property.
Striping, Fencing, and Fixtures
Court lines, perimeter fencing, gate hardware, net posts, windscreens and lighting fixtures are installed. Windscreens are part of the scope on waterfront and exposed hillside sites.
Final Walkthrough and Handoff
A final walkthrough with the property owner covers the finished court, fencing, gates, striping and lighting. Site cleanup and restoration of the surrounding area are completed, and the handoff covers surface care and when resurfacing should be considered.
