The cost of installing a macadam tennis court in Durham ranges from £35,000 to £80,000 per court.
The cost depends on factors such as site preparation, drainage, fencing, and surface coatings.
Clubs requiring multiple courts, professional-grade colour coatings, floodlighting, or advanced drainage systems will incur higher costs.
Additional expenses may also apply for club branding, spectator seating, and surrounding landscaping.
Investing in macadam ensures long-term durability and lower maintenance costs.
Macadam tennis courts are a popular choice for clubs due to their durability, consistent playing surface, and ability to withstand heavy use.
The key benefits include:
Long-Lasting Performance – Macadam courts are highly durable, offering decades of reliable play with proper maintenance.
All-Weather Playability – The porous surface allows for efficient drainage, preventing water accumulation and ensuring year-round usability.
Low Maintenance – Regular sweeping and occasional re-coating help maintain the court’s appearance and playability with minimal upkeep.
Consistent Ball Bounce – The smooth and even surface provides predictable ball behaviour, benefiting players at all skill levels.
Customisable Finishes – Courts can be colour-coated to enhance grip, improve visibility, and align with club branding.
Cost-Effective Installation – Macadam is a more affordable option compared to synthetic or clay surfaces while still offering professional-grade performance.
Installing a macadam tennis court for a club follows a structured process to ensure a high-quality and long-lasting playing surface.
First, the site is excavated and levelled to create a stable foundation. A compacted stone sub-base is then installed to support the court and allow for proper drainage.
The tarmacadam layers are applied in two phases—a base layer for structural integrity, followed by a finer wearing course to provide a smooth playing surface.
After the macadam has cured, colour coatings and line markings are added to enhance playability and aesthetics.
Additional features such as fencing, lighting, and seating can be installed to meet club requirements.
The entire process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, depending on site conditions and weather.
Existing macadam tennis courts at clubs can be resurfaced or upgraded to restore performance and enhance player experience.
Resurfacing involves repairing cracks or worn areas before applying a new macadam layer or an acrylic colour coating.
If the court is still structurally sound, re-coating can refresh its grip and appearance without the need for full resurfacing.
Upgrades such as LED floodlighting, improved fencing, and additional seating can also be added to enhance the facility.
Clubs typically consider resurfacing every 10 to 15 years, depending on usage levels and environmental factors.
A tennis club court can be enhanced with a range of features that improve functionality, comfort, and aesthetics.
LED floodlighting allows for evening play and maximises court availability throughout the year.
Perimeter fencing enhances security and prevents balls from leaving the playing area.
Professional colour coatings improve surface grip and can be customised to match club branding.
Spectator seating, windbreaks, and shaded areas create a more enjoyable environment for players and visitors.
Additional enhancements such as multi-sport line markings, storage areas, and landscaping can further elevate the club’s facilities.
