Removing A Tennis Court
I'm looking at removing a tennis court totaling 15k sqft, filling with topsoil and hydroseeding.
Would typical construction be a 4" base with 2" of asphalt on top? When pulling up the asphalt, gravel sticks to or is interlaced w/ some of the asphalt-will asphalt recyler's accept the gravel/asphalt combination or do they typically prefer 'clean' asphalt? |

Re: Removing A Tennis Court
In most instances, I would think the recycler would accept the material you are removing, (asphalt & aggregate), as long as there is no soil mixed in with it.
For specifics, you will have to make a phone call to the local plant to be sure. |

Re: Removing A Tennis Court
Is the pavement rubberized or coated with epoxy or paint? Does it look like it was overlayed? You can look at the outside edges of the court to determine thickness. I have run into problems with crushers not accepting Bituminous with the rubber/paint/epoxy on it. I have also run into tennis courts that have been overlayed.
