For more than 70 years, California Sports Surfaces (CSS) has led the industry in developing athletic surface solutions. Their journey began in 1953 with the introduction of Plexipave when grass and clay tennis courts began giving way to harder asphalt and concrete surfaces. This change called for a new kind of solution that would not only protect the surface, but also enhance playability, comfort and safety for those using the surfaces. With Plexipave, CSS became the first company to deliver coatings designed specifically for tennis, laying the groundwork for decades of innovation.
As demand for higher performance and longer-lasting surfaces grew, CSS expanded its offerings beyond tennis to include coatings for basketball, roller sports, running tracks, netball, cricket and the booming popularity of pickleball. In 1997, the company made another major leap by acquiring DecoTurf®, a multilayered surfacing system known for its versatility in indoor and outdoor environments. With that acquisition, CSS became the largest manufacturer of sport surfacing systems in the world, exporting to more than 50 countries.
Throughout its history, California Sports Surfaces has remained deeply committed to the industries it serves through innovation and leadership. The company was instrumental in the founding of what is now the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), helping set quality and performance standards that continue to guide builders, designers and manufacturers today.
Seventy years in, the legacy of California Sports Surfaces is still being written. From championship courts to community centers, its coatings are trusted for their consistency, durability and ability to enhance the surfaces they protect.
