Professional Tennis Court Installation and Resurfacing Across Australia

Homeowners are transforming their properties with high-end private tennis courts to enjoy an active lifestyle at home. A properly built backyard court is a massive asset that entertains the family and adds incredible premium value to your real estate. Whether you need a complete custom build or a high-quality surface restoration, securing an experienced construction crew who understands local conditions is critical. Your court requires a heavily engineered foundation that will not shift, crack, or sink when ground moisture changes.

New build vs resurfacing

Constructing a court from the ground up allows you to dictate the exact orientation, slope, and surface type—the only option if your current base has failed or you're developing a new block. If your existing concrete or asphalt slab is structurally sound, a professional resurface is usually the smartest financial move. You secure a brand-new look, true ball bounce, and decades of extra usability without the massive earthworks bill.

Tennis Court Installation and Resurfacing: What to Expect

Frequently asked questions

Constructing a brand-new court generally runs between $48,000 and $130,000+. Synthetic turf typically costs $85,000 to $115,000, while hard acrylic courts usually begin around $75,000. Final cost varies with earthworks, site access, fencing, and surface type.

Restoring an existing court normally sits between $16,000 and $38,000. A basic acrylic repaint lands at the lower end; replacing synthetic grass or fixing significant base cracks pushes the price higher. Our experts assess your slab to provide a precise quote.

Building a new court almost always requires a development permit. Elements like tall fencing, floodlights, and stormwater runoff are closely regulated. Basic resurfacing on a pre-existing court rarely needs formal approval. Our team can help manage council paperwork.

Synthetic grass is widely preferred for its rapid drainage and slip resistance in variable weather. It demands far less upkeep than clay or natural turf. Acrylic hard courts remain a strong alternative for players seeking a professional, fast-paced surface with minimal ongoing maintenance.
