Artificial Grass Tennis Courts

Benefits

Traditionally, tennis courts use natural grass. These courts date back to the late 1800’s and are associated with the highest level of gameplay. They offer the fastest game because the surface is soft and slippery, allowing the ball to quickly bounce while staying low to the ground. This is perfect for short rallies.

While grass courts offer an amazing game, they can be difficult to maintain. They easily develop divots that create inconsistent play and can lead to injury, they can get muddy when it rains, and they are a lot of work to maintain.

To decrease the amount of money, time, and effort spent on maintenance, grass courts have mostly been replaced with clay and hard courts. While easier to care for in some ways, these surfaces present their own challenges.

Players who master clay courts develop a unique playing style. The sandy texture of the court combined with a heavy topspin make it difficult for them to compete competitively on other playing surfaces. On top of this, clay courts can easily dry out, need to be constantly wet down, and can easily damage footwear, clothing, and equipment.

Hard surface tennis courts become faster when exposed to sun and heat, leading to inconsistent gameplay that varies with the weather. The last thing you want is an unpredictable playing experience. When it comes to the health of the player, hard courts can be tough on joints. This surface has no bounce or shock absorption, making it easy for players to develop knee problems.

Artificial grass courts offer all of the beauty and amazing gameplay of natural grass without all of the work and maintenance that goes into caring for it. It stays green and lush all year round, allowing you to continue playing outdoors well into the off-season, even in colder climates! And with turf there’s no need to worry about your grass wilting or fading.

Turf gives you the fastest game with a court that doesn’t dry out, breed specialists, or damage your clothing and equipment like clay courts.

And unlike hard courts, artificial turf uses advanced cooling technology to make sure playing surfaces stay cool, comfortable, and consistent, making sure you always know what to expect from your tennis court.

To protect a players body, sports turf reduces the impact players take on their joints and tendons. It offers a softer impact than hard courts and clay courts do and won’t develop divots like live grass, so players won’t trip. Artificial turf also reduces slide on the court, giving you the reliable footing to return even the wildest serves.

What about when it rains? Quality artificial grass also offers superior drainage when compared to natural grass, preventing flooding during wet seasons. This means courts are playable immediately after it rains!
