  • Patent number: 12358261
    Abstract: The invention is a method of preventing the formation of cracks on new recreational surfaces (e.g., tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, running tracks, and the like). The method includes securing a layer of flexible fabric over the entire top surface of a concrete or asphalt base. A layer of binder is provided between the fabric layer and the base to adhere the fabric to the concrete or asphalt. One or more additional upper layers of binder are also secured over the fabric. Treating the entire area of concrete or asphalt as a single unit provides continuity of the paved base and thereby eliminates the possibility of cracks forming.
