Grass

The grass court is the symbol of tennis in the UK – associated with prestigious tournaments like Queen’s Club, Eastbourne and, of course, Wimbledon. Having your own grass court on your property is undoubtedly something almost any tennis fan would love. Faster than almost any other type of court, playing on grass has a very elegant feel, and a beautiful grass court can add a serious amount of value to your home.

However, grass courts are notorious for being one of the most challenging to keep and maintain. They require constant mowing and care, and they can only be used in good weather. The expense of installing it and the work involved in maintaining it means that you may not want to commit yourself to it. But if you’re looking for a similar court type, you could consider artificial grass.
