Eventually, asphalt will become so deteriorated that it becomes time to rebuild the court. Before crack repair, the average lifespan of an asphalt court was around 25 years. Now, with regular maintenance, courts last a lot longer than that. When an asphalt court starts to crumble, or the cracking and peeling is taking over the court, resurfacing may not be a viable option. In most instances, we recommend installing Cushion Guard rather than a complete rebuild.
