Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed tennis court milling and paving for the Borough of Rocky Hill in Rocky Hill, New Jersey.
The Client
Settled in 1701, Rocky Hill became a separate municipality in 1890. The borough lies in southeastern Somerset County, New Jersey.
The Challenge
Renewing the Rocky Hill courts involved the pavement as well as the playing finish. Milling and paving established the surface for the acrylic coating, with posts and nets also included in the renovation.
Construction Process
The project was initiated with milling and paving, after which Keystone Sports Construction installed the new acrylic surface coating on the newly paved surface. Afterward, tennis line striping was provided for the courts, and tennis posts and netting were installed.

FAQs
When does a court need milling and paving rather than resurfacing? The distinction is the layer being renewed. Acrylic resurfacing addresses the court’s playing finish, while milling and paving removes a specified portion of the asphalt and replaces it with new pavement. The latter can be appropriate when deterioration extends beyond defects that surface treatments can address. A court evaluation helps establish the necessary depth of renovation, so new acrylic coatings are applied over suitable pavement rather than used to conceal damage below.
Why does a newly paved court still need acrylic surfacing? New asphalt provides the paved foundation for a court, but the acrylic coating creates the finished sports surface. That coating supplies color and a playing texture suited to court use, followed by markings that define the game’s boundaries. The two stages must be coordinated: pavement preparation and curing requirements come before acrylic application. Those requirements depend on the specified surfacing system and site conditions, so there is no single curing schedule for every installation.
