When people think of tennis courts, they
often think only of a hard surface like asphalt or concrete. Most courts are of
the hard-surface variety, but there are many other options. Hard courts are
generally more expensive to install than clay, but the cost of maintenance and
upkeep must also be considered. Once a hard court is installed, it requires
almost no regular maintenance. Clay courts, on the other hand, must be
continuously watered and raked. Grass is another surface that is expensive to
maintain. There are other tennis court surfaces, including vinyl, acrylic,
synthetic grass, and others. There are different installation and maintenance
costs associated with each surface.
Tennis courts ideally require an even
surface for a fair match to take place. Repairing cracks in a tennis court is
essential to ensuring safe and effective play. Concrete and asphalt surfaces
break down in the sunlight over time due to oxidation, causing surface
materials to degenerate. Repairing a tennis-court crack can be accomplished in
as little as two to three days.
Asking how much it costs to resurface a
tennis court is almost like asking how much it costs to buy a new car. The
answer depends on a number of factors, including the type of surface you are
replacing, and whether you are going to do it yourself or have it done
professionally. The cost also will be greatly influenced by the condition of
the court. When there are large cracks or foundation problems, the cost of
resurfacing a tennis court can increase dramatically.
The more damaged a hard surface is, the
more it will cost to resurface. Large cracks will need to be sealed and
patched, resulting in higher refurbishing costs than with courts that have just
faded or have superficial cosmetic problems. Foundation problems also increase
resurfacing costs. Hard tennis courts can become uneven because of the
foundation settling. When structural problems exist beneath a tennis court, a
new surface will only temporarily correct the problem.
