Before and After: Real Court Transformation Projects in Gauteng

Leave a Comment / Construction / By William

There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing a neglected sports court brought back to life. At William Gift Civil (Pty) Ltd, we specialise in transforming damaged, weathered, and unsafe courts into professional-grade playing surfaces—ready for netball, basketball, tennis, or multi-sport use.

Here are real before-and-after case studies of court renovations we’ve completed across Gauteng, showing the problems we solved and the results we delivered.

Case Study 1: Sandown High School

Before:

•Cracked netball courts with deep puddles after rain

•Rusted basketball posts and broken hoops

•Weeds growing through surface

•Uneven areas causing trip hazards

Our Work:

✅ Crack sealing and weed removal

✅ Asphalt patching in all damaged zones

✅ Supplied and installed 6 dual-purpose sleeves (netball/basketball)

✅ Delivered new posts, hoops, backboards and rings

✅ Compacted surface using a BOMAG BW90 roller

✅ Marked and prepared one court for full resurfacing

After:

A safer, regulation-sized combo court with strong foundations, ready for surface coating. All other courts prepped for future resurfacing with sleeves and frames already welded in place.

Case Study 2: Maroga community stadium

Case Study 2: Community Sports Court – Heriotdale

Before:

•Large cracks and exposed stone

•Drainage issues leading to water pooling

•Grass growing through the entrance area

•Fence partially collapsed

Our Work:

✅ Asphalt resurfacing over 280m² of court

✅ Additional 90m² paved at grass truck entrance

✅ Surface leveled and compacted

✅ Cleaned and sealed joints

✅ Drainage inspection and slope adjustment

After:

A smooth, water-resistant court ready for paint and public use. Drainage improved, access area paved for vehicles and pedestrians, and perimeter ready for fencing upgrade.

Why These Transformations Matter

Most schools and clubs think they need to build new courts from scratch. But in many cases, we can restore and upgrade your existing surface, saving time and cost.

Common issues we solve:

•Surface cracks and potholes

•Sinking or unstable bases

•Moss, weeds, and water damage

•Worn-out or dangerous posts and rings

•No line markings or faded paint
