From the first grade check to the final net tension, every stage that turns a bare lot into a playable court.
Site Measurement & Grade Check
Confirms the usable footprint, slope, and drainage path before any ground is broken or materials are ordered.
Drainage Planning & Channel Installation
Drainage channels and base slope are designed around Piedmont Triad clay soil to prevent standing water on the finished surface.
Asphalt Base Layer Preparation
A compacted asphalt base provides the stable, level platform that the acrylic coating depends on for long-term performance.
Acrylic Surface Coating
Multiple coats of acrylic are applied to achieve the surface flatness, color, and drainage slope required for regulation play.
Court Line Striping
Baselines, sidelines, and service boxes are marked to regulation dimensions for both singles and doubles play.
Net Posts, Net System & Fencing
Net posts are set in concrete footings at correct spacing, tensioned to standard net height, and the surround fencing is installed to complete the court.
Backyard Residential Courts
Single-court installs sized to the available yard footprint.
HOA & Community Facilities
Multi-court layouts for shared residential amenity areas.
Commercial & School Courts
Regulation courts for clubs, schools, and commercial sites.
Estate & Large-Lot Installs
Full-size courts with fencing and lighting on larger properties.

What separates a complete tennis court installation from a surface-only job
A court that drains correctly and stays level starts with grading and base preparation, the surface coating is only as good as what sits beneath it.
The installation begins with a site measurement and grade check. A doubles court footprint is 78 by 36 feet, and run-off clearance adds several feet on every side. Greensboro lot sizes and yard configurations vary widely, so confirming the usable footprint early avoids scope changes once grading starts. Piedmont Triad clay soil conditions also affect how drainage channels and base depth are specified.
Base layer preparation and surface application follow once the site is graded and compacted. An asphalt base layer is the standard foundation for outdoor tennis courts, providing a stable platform for the acrylic surface coating applied above it. The acrylic coating is built up in multiple passes to achieve the surface flatness and drainage slope needed for consistent play and water run-off.
Court line striping, net posts, and fencing complete the build. Striping is applied to regulation dimensions for singles and doubles play. Net posts are set in concrete footings at the correct spacing and tensioned to the standard net height. A signed-off walkthrough confirms the finished court, surface, lines, net, and surround, matches the agreed scope before the site is handed back.

Questions about tennis court installation in Greensboro
How much does it cost to install a tennis court?
Most residential tennis court installations come in at $35,000-$70,000, depending on site conditions, surface type, and whether fencing and lighting are included. Grading on uneven ground and drainage work are the two factors that move the number most. An on-site evaluation gives you a firm itemised figure before any work begins.
What makes tennis court installation cost so much?
The base is the biggest driver, compacted aggregate sub-base, proper drainage layers, and a stable binder course account for a large share of the total. Surface material, perimeter fencing, net posts, and line marking each add to that. Difficult access or significant grading on sloped ground pushes costs higher still.
What is the cheapest way to build a tennis court?
Choosing an asphalt surface over post-tension concrete keeps upfront costs lower, and skipping lighting at the start reduces the initial spend. A flat, already-cleared lot with good natural drainage cuts site-prep costs significantly. Phasing fencing or lighting into a later project is a practical way to spread the investment.
How much land do I need for a tennis court?
A regulation singles court is 78 by 27 feet, but with run-off space on all sides you need a cleared area of roughly 120 by 60 feet minimum. Doubles play adds width, bringing the recommended footprint to around 120 by 66 feet. An on-site evaluation confirms whether your available space meets that requirement.
Can I build a tennis court on a small lot?
A smaller practice court or a multi-sport layout can work on tighter lots where a full regulation court will not fit. The minimum usable footprint for a practice surface is roughly 60 by 120 feet, but even that needs clear overhead and side clearance. An on-site measurement determines what format is realistic for your space.
Will a tennis court fit on my property with enough run-off space?
Run-off space, typically 12 feet at each baseline and 10 feet on each side, is as important as the court footprint itself. Without it, balls leave play constantly and the surface edge deteriorates faster. The on-site evaluation measures your available area and flags any setback or boundary constraints before design begins.
Is a tennis court a good investment for my property?
A well-built court adds usable outdoor square footage and is a draw for buyers who want recreational amenity on-site. The return varies by neighborhood and lot size, larger properties in areas where outdoor living is valued tend to see the strongest lift. A court that is properly drained and surfaced also costs far less to maintain over time.
Does a tennis court add value to a property?
Yes, in most cases, though the amount depends on the local market and the condition of the court. A cracked or poorly drained court can actually reduce perceived value, while a well-maintained asphalt or cushioned surface in good condition is a genuine selling point. Proper base construction is what keeps the surface in good shape for years.
