## What affects Tennis Court cost

- **Project type: resurfacing vs new install:** One of the biggest drivers of the cost of tennis court construction is whether you are resurfacing an existing court or building a new one. Resurfacing starts from $45/m² for acrylic hard court, while new installation ranges from $180/m² to $275/m² depending on the surface.
- **Surface material:** The chosen finish has a major impact on the cost to install tennis court surfaces. Acrylic hard court, cushioned acrylic and synthetic grass all sit at different price points, with premium options like cushioned acrylic and synthetic grass costing more per square metre.
- **Base condition and repairs:** If the existing base needs work before resurfacing or installation, this increases the total price. Base repairs add $15/m² on top of the selected surface rate, which can noticeably change the final tennis court refurbishment cost.
- **Extras like fencing and lighting:** Optional extras can significantly lift the tennis court cost to build, especially for backyard or private club projects. Standard perimeter fencing adds $12,000, while a 4-pole LED floodlight set adds $15,000.
