About Inner Court

Private court specialists, Melbourne inner-east.

We resurface and maintain private tennis courts across Toorak, Hawthorn, Kew, Malvern, South Yarra, and Armadale. This is what we do. It is all we do.

Inner Court works on the courts behind the gates on Lansell Road, St Georges Road, Kooyong Road, and Glenferrie Road. The courts that have been part of a property for thirty years. The courts that have an En Tout Cas surface installed before the owners moved in. The courts that deserve to be treated as part of the property, not as a trade job to turn around fast.

How We Work

Site visit first. Written proposal within 48 hours. No surprises.

We don't quote over the phone. We don't send a price range before we've seen the base. Every project starts with a site visit, because the condition of the concrete underneath is what determines the scope of work, not just what the surface looks like on the day.

After the site visit, you receive a written proposal on letterhead. Line-item scope of works. Timeline. Warranty terms. Certificate of currency reference. The proposal contains everything you need to make a decision and nothing that shouldn't be there.

We work to one standard. The court we leave behind looks like it belongs on the property, because it does.

  • Site visit first, at a time that suits you.
  • Written proposal on letterhead within 48 hours.
  • Works completed as scheduled, no chasing required.

Our Services

Three things we do properly.

Court Resurfacing

En Tout Cas, acrylic, synthetic grass.

En Tout Cas conversions to acrylic or synthetic grass. Acrylic re-coats using Plexipave and Rebound Ace systems. Concrete base repair before any surface goes down. We assess the structure first. We never resurface over a base that isn't ready.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Annual contracts. Set and forget.

Annual maintenance contracts for private courts, estates, schools, and clubs. Pressure cleaning, sand grooming, moss and algae treatment, line marking inspection, net and post checks, written condition reports. We contact you before each visit. You don't manage the schedule.

Repairs & Pre-Sale

Crack repair, drainage, pre-sale presentation.

Crack repair, drainage correction, fencing, line marking, and campaign-ready resurfacing for vendors preparing a prestige listing. Most jobs complete and cured within 8 working days. We work directly with agents and property managers on campaign timelines.

Who Calls Us

Four types of client. One standard of work.

Private Homeowners

The homeowner who inherited an En Tout Cas court with the property and has been meaning to do something about it for years. The homeowner who wants a synthetic grass conversion that sits properly within a period garden. The homeowner who simply wants a court that works, and wants it done without having to manage the process.

Private Estate Managers

Estate and property managers responsible for courts across multiple inner-east properties. They need a reliable annual service partner who shows up as scheduled, documents correctly, and doesn't require chasing. We set the annual calendar and reach out before each visit. SWMS documentation and insurance certificates provided as standard.

Prestige Real Estate Agents

Agents managing listings in Toorak, Hawthorn, South Yarra, and Kew where court condition is a presentation and negotiation factor. We work to campaign timelines. Most resurfacing and repair jobs are complete and cured within 8 working days from start. Written condition reports available for vendor disclosure.

Architects & Landscape Designers

Design and construction professionals incorporating private court restoration into a broader renovation or landscape programme. We provide line-item scope, written proposals on letterhead, and surface specifications (including Plexipave and Rebound Ace technical data) suitable for inclusion in project documentation.

The Area We Know

Melbourne's inner-east has the highest concentration of private residential tennis courts in Victoria.

The heritage properties of Toorak, Hawthorn, Kew, and Malvern were built in an era when a private court was part of what a certain kind of home included. Many of those courts are still on their original En Tout Cas red porous surfaces, installed in the 1960s and 70s, maintained to varying degrees over the decades, and now owned by people who want them restored properly.

This is not general groundwork. En Tout Cas surfaces, heritage overlay requirements, Stonnington and Boroondara council planning rules, the drainage challenges of established period gardens, the visual standards expected on a $5M property: these are the specifics of the inner-east market. We work in this environment. We know what it expects.

We resurface courts on Lansell Road, St Georges Road, Kooyong Road, and Glenferrie Road. We know what these properties expect.

Where We Work

Inner-east Melbourne, the courts behind the gates.

Inner Court is a service-area business covering the inner-east suburbs of Melbourne. We do not take on jobs outside this area, not because we can't, but because the inner-east is a specific market with specific requirements, and working it properly means staying within it.
