frequently asked questions
How often should I resurface my tennis court / netball court?
Generally a tennis court needs resurfacing every 5 to 8 years, but this is dependent on the conditions surrounding your tennis court and the usage of your court. i.e if you have trees covering the court, you may develop black algae, which eats holes in courts. Trees could also damage the court through roots pushing up into the surface. Another major factor determining resurfacing periods is the type of base initially installed. We use a hot premix tar which is far more durable than the chip and spray method.
