Tennis Court Cleaning Melbourne
Moss, algae and ground-in grime removed from synthetic, acrylic and hard courts — restoring grip, colour and the court's playing surface.
A neglected court tells you itself: green creeping in from the shaded corners, lines going dull, and a surface that gets slick the moment dew or rain touches it. On synthetic grass the infill compacts and drainage slows; on acrylic and hard courts algae fills the surface texture that's supposed to provide grip. Beyond looks, a green court is genuinely slippery — most of the courts we clean get booked after someone slides.
Different surfaces need opposite treatments, which is where court cleaning goes wrong in inexperienced hands. Synthetic grass is cleaned with controlled low-pressure methods that lift moss and debris without disturbing the pile and infill; acrylic and hard courts take rotary surface cleaning at a pressure that strips growth without burning the acrylic coating. Either way the growth is treated, not just stripped, so the court stays clean for seasons rather than weeks.
We clean private backyard courts, club courts and school and multi-sport surfaces across Melbourne — and the same methods restore netball, basketball and other acrylic sports surfaces.

How It Works
Surface check
Synthetic or acrylic, how far the growth has spread, and drainage condition — that sets the method and fixed quote.
Treat & clean
Growth is treated first, then the surface is cleaned with the technique your court type needs.
Finish & advise
Court and surrounds left tidy, with honest advice on treatment frequency to keep it playable year-round.
What Drives the Price
Court cleaning is quoted on surface type (synthetic and acrylic take different time), court size (full court vs half court or multi-court sites), growth level, and access for equipment. A lightly soiled acrylic court is a straightforward day; a synthetic court that's gone green in the corners takes treatment and care.

Common Questions
Can you pressure wash a synthetic grass court?
Not with open high pressure — it disturbs the pile and infill. Synthetic courts get controlled low-pressure cleaning and treatment that lifts growth without damaging the surface.
My court is slippery when wet — will cleaning fix it?
Almost certainly yes. The slickness is algae filling the surface texture; killing and removing it restores the grip the court was built to provide.
How often should a Melbourne court be cleaned?
Most courts do well with an annual clean and a treatment top-up in between. Shaded courts under trees need attention more often than open, sunny ones.
Do you clean other sports surfaces?
Yes — netball and basketball courts, multi-sport acrylic surfaces and school play areas respond to the same methods.
