Sports Courts Construction Questions

  • How long does it take to build a court?

    Synthetic grass with asphalt, concrete, and road base - 3 weeks - weather pending. Acrylic surface with Concrete base - 3 weeks for base works - Allow an additional 28 days for the concrete to cure prior to applying an acrylic surfacer.

  • What surface is better? Synthetic or acrylic?

    Depending on what sport you are playing. Schools prefer an acrylic hardcourt as they usually have a multi-purpose court. Residential may prefer synthetic grass for tennis professionals.

  • Concrete is better than asphalt and roadbase.

    The simple answer is YES for longevity. However, if you are using synthetic grass, then roadbase is acceptable. Roadbase is cheaper than concrete but does not last as long.

  • What is easier to maintain as far as surfaces go?

    Acrylic is easier to maintain. Synthetic grass is infilled with washed-graded mineral sand and needs to be swept on a regular basis to ensure the pile is kept at its maximum condition. A special "clean sweep" broom can be provided for an additional cost.

  • Will I need to consider drainage?

    Yes, The court should have a natural flow of at least 1%; however, existing courts will need to be addressed when resurfacing occurs to ensure mould does not build up and ruin the integrity of the grass/surface.

  • Can my existing court be resurfaced, and how long will this take?

    Yes, the whole process takes about one week, depending on whether it is synthetic or acrylic. Sometimes, with synthetic grass, once the original grass is pulled up, the base can have some issues. However, the client will address this as soon as the grass is lifted.

  • Can we replace our accessories at the time of the court resurfacing?

    Yes, we are able to provide a large range of accessories for most outdoor sports. The accessories we use are good-quality Australian products.

  • Can you help with accessing grants?
