Whether you're a tennis fan or a homeowner wanting to add value to your property, building a court is exciting but challenging. Before starting, it helps to know the average price and size of a tennis court. This guide covers the key steps, costs and recommended sizes.
Factors that impact court construction cost
Excavation & site preparation
Grading, levelling and drainage are needed before construction. Property topography, accessibility and existing landscaping all affect cost and complexity.
Surface material selection
- Hard court: Concrete or asphalt - durable with low maintenance, despite higher installation expense.
- Clay court: Favoured by top players for its distinctive play, but needs frequent watering and rolling.
- Artificial grass: Low-maintenance with excellent shock absorption and customisable features; higher install cost offset by long-term savings.
Other costs to consider
- Fencing & lighting for privacy, safety and night play - costs vary with material, height and local requirements.
- Added amenities such as seating, shade structures or exercise walls.
