Once your design is complete, STM will refine the plans to ensure compliance with LTA standards and optimal site integration.
Our skilled team prepares your site by excavating, levelling, and laying a durable base. We then install premium artificial grass, chosen for its excellent drainage and year-round usability. The result is a flawless, weather-resistant surface that’s perfect for tennis enthusiasts of all skill levels.
To complete your court, we add finishing touches such as line markings, nets, and fencing. We also perform a final quality check to ensure the court meets STM’s high standards. Once approved, your tennis court will be ready for immediate use!
STM specialises in artificial grass tennis courts for good reason. This surface offers numerous advantages over traditional options such as hard or clay courts:
Low Maintenance: Synthetic grass requires minimal upkeep, with no need for frequent cleaning, sweeping, or repainting.
All-Weather Play: Artificial grass courts are quick-draining and can be used even after heavy rain, making them ideal for Manchester’s variable weather conditions.
Soft and Cushioned Surface: This player-friendly surface reduces joint impact, improving comfort during play.
Aesthetic Appeal: With a clean, natural look, artificial grass adds a professional and attractive finish to your court.
By choosing artificial grass, you’ll enjoy a high-performance, versatile surface that’s built to last.
STM recently replaced our tennis court surface for us and we’re thrilled with the results. The refit was completed on time and we were kept informed throughout. The finished courts look great and playing conditions are a huge improvement from what we had before.

Over time, even the highest-quality tennis courts can experience wear and tear due to regular use and exposure to the elements. STM offers professional tennis court resurfacing services in Manchester to restore your court to peak condition and ensure it performs as well as it looks.
Our resurfacing process involves replacing old or damaged artificial grass with fresh, durable synthetic turf. This upgrade not only enhances the court's aesthetics but also improves its playability, making it suitable for all-weather use once again. If your court has drainage issues or faded line markings, we can address those too, ensuring the court is safe, functional, and visually appealing.
To maintain your tennis court over the long term, STM also provides regular maintenance services. These include professional cleaning to keep the surface clear of debris, remarking court lines to enhance visibility, and carrying out minor repairs to prevent larger issues. By investing in regular upkeep, you can extend the life of your tennis court and keep it performing at its best.
Whether you need a complete resurfacing or ongoing maintenance, STM has the expertise to bring your tennis court back to life in Manchester and Greater Manchester.
