Maintenance & Cleaning

Set once. We handle it from there.

A neglected court is expensive to restore. A maintained court lasts significantly longer, and costs a fraction as much to keep in good condition year to year.

We set your annual service schedule, send a reminder before each visit, and leave a written condition report after every job.

What's Included

Every maintenance visit covers the following.

  • Pressure cleaning of the full court surface
  • Sand grooming, synthetic grass courts
  • Moss, algae, and lichen treatment and removal
  • Line marking inspection and touch-up where required
  • Net and post inspection
  • Fencing check, issues noted in condition report
  • Written condition report after every visit
  • SWMS documentation and certificate of currency for institutional clients
By Surface Type

Different surfaces. The same standard.

Acrylic

Pressure cleaning, moss and algae treatment, line marking check.

One to two visits per year is standard for private residential courts. More frequent visits for schools and clubs. Surface wear noted in the written condition report. Flagged early, before it becomes a resurfacing job.

Synthetic Grass

Sand grooming, pressure cleaning, moss and algae treatment.

The sand infill compacts over time. Annual grooming redistributes it and maintains the surface feel. Without regular grooming, synthetic grass hardens faster and wears unevenly.

En Tout Cas

Surface grooming, algae and lichen treatment, drainage check.

En Tout Cas courts don't need resurfacing often, but they do need regular maintenance. Algae and moss cause slipping hazards. Drainage blockages accelerate surface deterioration.

Private Homeowners

The set-and-forget arrangement

The court is used a few times a week. The owner wants it maintained properly without having to manage a tradesperson. We set the annual schedule in January. We reach out two weeks before each visit. The court is looked after. That's the arrangement.

Common Questions

What maintenance clients ask us most.

How often should a private tennis court be cleaned and maintained?

For private residential courts in Melbourne: one thorough clean and maintenance visit per year is the minimum. Courts used heavily, or shaded by large trees that encourage moss and algae, benefit from two visits. We'll recommend a schedule based on the court's surface type, usage, and environment during the site visit.

What does a maintenance visit include?

Pressure cleaning, moss and algae treatment, sand grooming (synthetic grass), line marking inspection and touch-up, net and post check, fencing check, and a written condition report. SWMS documentation and certificate of currency are provided for institutional and estate clients.

Do you offer annual contracts?

Yes. Most of our maintenance clients are on annual contracts. We set the visit schedule in January, contact you before each visit, and invoice after the job. You don't need to remember to book. That's the point.

Can I book a one-off clean rather than a contract?

Yes. One-off cleaning visits are available. The annual contract rate is lower per visit and removes the need to rebook each time, but if you'd prefer to start with a single visit, that's straightforward. Note it in your enquiry.

What is the difference between maintenance for acrylic and synthetic grass courts?

Acrylic courts need pressure cleaning and moss treatment. The surface is impermeable, so standing water and organic matter sit on top. Synthetic grass courts also need annual sand grooming to redistribute the infill and prevent the surface from hardening. Both need regular moss and algae treatment, particularly in shaded inner-east gardens.

Do you provide SWMS and insurance documentation for institutional clients?

Yes. Safe Work Method Statements and certificates of currency are provided as standard for schools, clubs, and estate management clients. If your organisation has specific documentation requirements, note them in your enquiry.

Ready to restore your court properly?

Start with a site visit. We'll assess the court, answer your questions, and have a written proposal to you within 48 hours. No pressure, just an honest assessment from a specialist who knows these properties.

Prefer to call? 03 9961 6078, Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. Saturday by appointment.
