Tennis court cleaning and maintenance is essential for both safety and performance. Around 80 percent of the UK’s tennis court surfaces are hard courts, usually concrete or tarmac. These macadam surfaces are popular because they are relatively low cost to build and require less maintenance than other types of court.
However, even hard courts need a regular cleaning regime throughout the year to stay in good condition.
Depending on the location of your court, you may notice green algae, lichen, fungi and moss forming in shaded areas or around the edges where debris collects. Over time, a layer of dust and dirt can also create a film across the playing surface.
This build up causes two main problems. Moss and algae can damage the painted surface of the court, while broken down debris holds moisture and encourages further growth. In more severe cases, weeds can begin to grow through cracks, leading to surface damage.
A dirty court is not just unsightly. It can also become slippery, especially in damp conditions, increasing the risk of slips and injuries for players.
Even with regular maintenance, every tennis court should receive a professional pressure wash at least once a year. While a pressure wash removes visible dirt and growth, it does not fully eliminate moss spores and fungi hidden within the surface profile.
For this reason, each court is treated with biocides and antifungal, moss and algae inhibitors as part of our process. This helps prevent regrowth and protects the surface for longer.
