Australians love their sport, especially tennis. The Australian Open is one of the highlights on the global sporting calendar and an example of the heights where a tennis career can take you. Whether you dream of walking onto the Rod Laver Arena or simply want to play some social, adding a tennis court to your backyard can be a great investment. Not only will it boost the resale value of your property, but it will help you to keep fit and entertained at the same time.

Increasingly more homeowners are choosing synthetic turf over asphalt or concrete for their tennis courts. Not only is it low maintenance, but it’s also much more attractive than a bright blue concrete or asphalt.

We’re one of Brisbane & Gold Coast’s leading providers and installers and have completed countless commercial as well as residential projects.

From red clay that’s synonymous with Roland Garros to Wimbledon’s iconic green grass tennis courts to the more common acrylic hard tennis court surfaces, there are a number of popular surface options. For recreational tennis courts in Australia, though, it’s highly unlikely that you opt for clay. It’s high maintenance, messy, and not suitable for winter. That leaves the options of acrylic hard court surfaces or grass. While hard courts are the surface that’s most commonly used across the world, it takes a toll on your joints and requires regular cleaning and occasional crack filling and resurfacing. 

Synthetic turf, on the other hand, can offer a solid surface under foot that’s also kinder on the joints thanks to the shock absorption. It also requires very little maintenance. Unlike hard court surfaces that can crack or natural grass courts that need to be watered, mowed, and treated with fertilizer, synthetic turf basically only calls for brooming and addition of sand from time to time. In addition to low maintenance, it offers a number of other benefits like:

• Resistance to UV rays
• Cooler court temperature in hot weather conditions
• Year-round usage
• Durability
• Cost effectiveness

The impact of synthetic tennis court turf is less on your joints and also on your bank balance. The costs associated will include many factors, such as if there is old synthetic turf that needs to be removed or if a concrete slab needs to be poured. There is also the cost of the synthetic turf itself, nets and fencing as well as installation costs for applying the turf with correct line markings. The fee that you’ll have to pay for installation will also be determined by how much preparation the surface needs and the accessibility of the site. 

For a more accurate estimate of the costs, it’s best to reach out to a professional company. Most companies will be able to offer you a quote free of charge for the type of synthetic turf that you have in mind.

Considering that a tennis court is quite a big investment (both in terms of size and money), you’ll want to ensure that you select the right company for the big job at hand. Not only is it important to find a provider that has installed tennis courts specifically before, but it’s also critical to find one that is familiar working with synthetic turf. To help you find the best person for the job, here are some questions that you can ask:

• How many synthetic turf tennis courts have you completed?
• How long will the project take to complete?
• Which type of turf will you use?
• Do you offer any warranties?
• Do you offer any maintenance services?
• Do your employees have the necessary qualifications?
• Do you have any references that I may contact?
• Will you be able to replace any damaged sections in the future?
• Will it meet Australian Safety Standards?
• How does the payment process work, and do you require a deposit?

In Australia, recreational tennis courts come in various sizes and can be tailored to match the space that you have available. That said, the measurements of a standard court are 36.5 m by 18.3 m. In total, this adds up to about 669 square metres. For recreational purposes, though, you can get away with it being slightly smaller as you don’t need as much distance behind the baseline for running or to the sides. 

Yes. While the ball bounces lower on grass and synthetic turf surfaces, you’ll have enough speed for an exciting game of tennis. All in all, you can look forward to the same performance that grass courts deliver. 

Unlike clay tennis courts that can’t be enjoyed in all weather conditions, synthetic turf can withstand all of the elements. So, if it’s safe to do so, you’ll be able to play tennis all-year round including during winter without worrying about covering the court.
