STM takes pride in delivering a seamless, end-to-end process for tennis court construction. Here’s how we bring your vision to life:
We start by understanding your requirements during a detailed consultation. Our team conducts a site survey to assess the space, ensuring it is suitable for tennis court construction. We’ll also discuss customisation options such as fencing, drainage, and floodlighting.
Bring your ideas to life with STM’s innovative Pitch Builder Tool! This tool allows you to design your tennis court by selecting:
Court dimensions and layout
Artificial grass type and colour options
Additional features such as fencing and LED floodlighting
Our team refines your design to meet LTA standards and ensure optimal functionality for the site.
Once the design is approved, we prepare the site by excavating, levelling, and installing a stable foundation with proper drainage. We then lay premium artificial grass, chosen for its durability, all-weather usability, and professional appearance.
To complete the court, we add finishing touches like line markings, nets, and any additional features you’ve chosen. A final inspection ensures the court meets STM’s rigorous quality standards and is ready for use immediately.
STM exclusively installs artificial grass tennis courts, providing several key advantages over traditional court surfaces:
Low Maintenance: Artificial grass requires minimal upkeep, saving time and money compared to clay or hard courts.
All-Weather Play: With excellent drainage, synthetic grass courts can be used year-round, even in London’s unpredictable weather.
Soft Surface for Comfort: The cushioned feel of artificial grass reduces joint impact, making it ideal for players of all ages and abilities.
Professional Aesthetics: Synthetic grass delivers a clean, polished look that mimics natural grass, creating an inviting and professional environment.
Our project at Wylam Tennis Club was to lay a synthetic turf carpet on top of our 13 year old tarmac surface. In mid 2017 we started to talk to a number of contractors including Synthetic Turf Management and from the very beginning we found Synthetic Turf Management to be very informative and responded very quickly to our requests for information

Whether or not you need planning permission depends on your location and additional features. In most cases, private tennis courts built in back gardens do not require permission if they fall under permitted development rights. However, planning permission may be needed for:
Floodlighting or fencing over two metres high.
Courts built on designated land, such as conservation areas or Green Belt land.
Significant alterations to your property’s external appearance.
STM’s experienced team can guide you through the planning process, helping you navigate local regulations to ensure your project is fully compliant.
Over time, tennis courts can experience wear and tear. STM offers professional tennis court resurfacing services in London to restore and enhance your court’s functionality and aesthetics.
Our resurfacing services include replacing old synthetic grass with a fresh, high-performance surface and repairing drainage systems to ensure the court remains playable in all weather conditions. We can also refresh line markings for a clean, professional appearance.
To extend the life of your court, STM also provides regular maintenance services, including cleaning, brushing, and minor repairs. This ensures your court stays in top condition for years to come.
The cost of building a tennis court in London depends on several factors, including:
Court size and customisation options.
The type of surface (STM specialises in artificial grass tennis courts).
Additional features, such as fencing, floodlighting, and drainage systems.
Site preparation, such as levelling or excavation.
For an artificial grass tennis court, costs typically range from £50,000 to £75,000, depending on the size and complexity of the project. For resurfacing, costs vary based on the condition of the existing court and the required upgrades.
