January 30, 2026East Chicago Central High School: Tennis Court Paving Completed Ahead of Fall Season
School Asphalt Paving Project Spotlight
East Chicago Central High School needed a complete tennis court replacement to prepare for their upcoming Fall season.
Site Services delivered a comprehensive asphalt milling and paving project, transforming deteriorated courts into a smooth, durable playing surface – all within a one-week timeline to meet the school’s athletic schedule.
Project Overview
Services: Asphalt milling, commercial paving
The existing tennis courts had deteriorated significantly, with failed asphalt creating unsafe playing conditions for student athletes.
With the Fall tennis season approaching, the school needed a reliable partner who could deliver quality results on a tight deadline.
Site Services provided a complete tennis court reconstruction, managing every phase from milling to final paving with precision timing.
Working closely with school administrators, we developed specifications and a project timeline that ensured the courts would be ready when students returned.
Challenges & Solutions
The Challenge:
Meeting a strict deadline while working within confined spaces.
The project required complete removal and replacement of failed asphalt across multiple tennis courts.
Two critical obstacles needed attention: working carefully around perimeter fencing without causing damage, and completing the entire project in time for the Fall tennis season.
Our Solution:
Expert planning and efficient execution.
Site Services helped the school develop detailed project specifications from the start. Our team carefully coordinated each phase to maximize efficiency while protecting existing infrastructure.
By working systematically around the fencing and maintaining strict quality standards, we delivered a complete tennis court transformation in just one week.
Clear timeline management and proactive communication kept school administrators informed throughout the project, demonstrating Site Services’ commitment to meeting client deadlines.
The Tennis Court Paving Process
Site Services took a comprehensive approach to restore East Chicago Central’s tennis courts:
Phase 1: Asphalt Milling
Our crew removed all existing failed asphalt, eliminating damaged layers that had created unsafe playing conditions.
Phase 2: Base Preparation
The stone base was carefully graded and compacted, creating a stable foundation engineered for long-term performance under athletic use.
Phase 3: New Asphalt Installation
We installed 4.5 inches of fresh asphalt in two layers, using proper compaction techniques to ensure durability and a smooth playing surface that meets athletic facility standards.
The Result
The project was completed on schedule within one week, meeting the school’s critical Fall season deadline.
Project Outcomes:
- Smooth, durable tennis court surface built to withstand years of student athletic use
- Enhanced safety for student athletes with properly graded, level playing surfaces
- Zero damage to perimeter fencing despite confined work areas
- On-time completion that allowed the Fall tennis season to proceed as scheduled
- Expert specification development that addressed the school’s unique requirements
According to client feedback: “The new pavement looks amazing!”
