We’re often asked which are the best sports surfaces to use and, when it comes to playing a good game of tennis, we’d always say that artificial grass for tennis courts is an excellent option.
Of course, there are several different types of tennis court surface to choose from and all have their pluses and minuses. For example, rubber tennis surfaces come with a high level of slip resistance and are kinder to the joints, than your harder concrete or clay surfaces.
Real grass tennis courts can look beautiful and evoke wonderful memories of Wimbledon Championships of the past, if cared for correctly, however, there are incredibly high levels of maintenance involved in keeping grass courts looking this way.
In this blog we look at the benefits of artificial grass for tennis courts and why you should definitely consider going for this as your tennis court surface if you’re having a new tennis court installed, or you’re getting your surface replaced.
The Benefits Of Artificial Grass For Tennis Courts
When we say that real grass tennis courts take a lot of work, we’re not kidding.
The grounds people at tennis clubs such as the All England Club, spend hours each day working on keeping their grass courts well fertilised, properly mowed (every day during the Championships), as well as ensuring that the lines stay properly painted. In addition, there’s the fact that real grass courts can’t be rained on because this will churn up the ground.
So, unless you have a retractable roof to protect the surface, you’re at the mercy of the British weather as to whether you can play.
For these reasons alone, when people like the look and feel of a grass tennis court, they will opt for artificial grass for tennis courts, instead of the real thing.
Other benefits of using artificial grass for tennis courts, in addition to them being much less maintenance, include the following:
- You can play on them all year round, no matter the weather.
- Synthetic grass is much more durable that real grass, making artificial grass courts much more hardwearing.
- In addition to there being no mowing, rolling or repainting of lines required, there’s also no need to water your artificial grass during the hot summer months.
On top of this, thanks to advancements in the manufacturing of artificial grass for tennis courts, these days, it’s really hard to tell the difference between what’s real and what isn’t. The sand filled grass systems in synthetic grass courts perfectly mimic the look and feel of real grass courts.
