Passionate tennis players know that the investment in a backyard tennis court is the difference between a good player and a great one. While it may seem like a overwhelmingly substantial investment, the costs over time can make a personal court quite affordable. But not all courts are constructed the same, and for the investment to be worthwhile, homeowners should contact the professionals at Beausoleil & Sons. These paving contractors specialize in commercial construction and asphalt repair, but also offers a wide variety of tennis court services and maintenance. Creating a court is a big job, and while the dimensions are always the same, the surface of your court makes a big difference in your gameplay and cost over time.

Here are the four main court surfaces:

• Hardcourts: Asphalt or concrete courts are the least expensive and most durable. They are easily maintained and can be removed if the need ever arose.
• Grass: While aesthetically beautiful, these courts require tedious time in maintenance, cultivation and upkeep. Only a few private clubs can afford to maintain grass courts.
• Clay: Red clay courts are made from crushed brick that is packed on the courts surface. While these courts are considered “slow,” they are much better for sliding shots because of the loose top layer. However these courts erode easily and require subsurface watering to keep the clay playable.
• Synthetic: These are hardcourts missed with vinyl cushioning, which is much easier for players. Cushioned hardcourts are the most popular surfaces for residential court construction.

Tennis court construction is a specialized field and a large investment for any home, but finding the right material makes the dream into a reality.
