ROOT RESIDENCE, LEAWOOD, KAN.
OUTSTANDING RESIDENTIAL TENNIS FACILITY OF THE YEAR
SURFACE: Plexicushion
CERTIFIED TENNIS COURT BUILDER: McConnell & Associates
COMPLETED: June 2022
One of our Plexicushion courts was included in this unique arrangement of courts featuring multiple premium surfaces. The homeowner wanted three tennis courts designed to simulate three of the major tennis playing surfaces— the hard courts (on post-tensioned concrete slabs) at the US Open and Australian Open, and the clay of the French Open. To deal with a significant grade change, a large retaining wall had to be built first in order to align the courts from north to south, which delayed construction of the courts themselves and created access challenges. Sloping trench drains and drain tiles installed behind the retaining wall create an area for runoff to flow to the adjacent storm sewer line.
