What a tennis court project involves, what drives the cost, and how to find contractors who build them.
What a tennis court costs
Reported by published industry sources, August 2026
- One outdoor court, new build
- $60,000 to $120,000
- The base specification accounts for most of the spread. Cushioned surfacing, fencing and lighting move a project toward the top.
- Asphalt base
- around $65,000 typical
- Reported at $5 to $8 per square foot for the base. Lower up front, and the surface that cracks first.
- Post-tensioned concrete base
- around $85,000 typical
- Reported at $12 to $18 per square foot. More up front, and the reason a court can last decades without structural repair.
- Resurfacing, every four to eight years
- $4,000 to $10,800
- Reported at $1.50 to $4 per square foot installed, with preparation adding $500 to $3,000.
A range is a planning tool rather than a quote. Site conditions, access and local labour move these numbers more than anything else on this page, and only a contractor who has seen your site can tell you what your own project costs.
What moves the number
Will it fit
The playing surface is only part of the answer. Run-off, access for equipment and where the water goes decide as much as the dimensions do.
