Itemized from a court builder's live pricing engine: pad, surfacing, lines, and the add-ons people actually buy. Numbers below are for a standard 7,200 sq ft tennis court, 60' x 120' (78' x 36' court plus run-off).
| Line item | Rate | Basic pad | ASBA pad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete pad, 7,200 sq ft | $10 / $13 per sq ft | $75,600 | $93,600 |
| Surfacing system and tennis lines | $4 per sq ft | $32,400 | $32,400 |
| Subtotal | $108,000 | $126,000 | |
| Quoted range (subtotal to +20%) | $108,000 to $129,600 | $126,000 to $151,200 |
The pad is the biggest line on every new court. ASBA spec means thicker slab, more steel, and tighter tolerances; it costs about 24 percent more on the pad and is what most builders recommend where the ground moves.
| Line item | Rate | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Surfacing and lines, 7,200 sq ft | $2 per sq ft | $10,800 |
| Crack repair, standard fill and level | $6 per linear foot | varies by crack length |
| Crack repair, long-term membrane system | $20 per linear foot | varies by crack length |
| Quoted range before crack repair | $10,800 to $12,960 |
| Add-on | Rate | On this court |
|---|---|---|
| Cushion system (shock absorption) | $3 per sq ft | $21,600 |
| Full-court mat system (stops cracks returning) | $6 per sq ft | $46,800 |
| Custom color upgrade | $0 per sq ft | $3,600 |
| Custom 4x4 one-color logo | flat | $300 |
| Extra pickleball line set | flat | $600 |
| Basketball half-court line set | flat | $750 |
South Carolina has little or no freeze-thaw, so a basic sub-base pad holds up well and crack repair on resurfacing jobs tends to be lighter. The main local variables are concrete pricing, site access, and grading. Budget toward the middle of each range unless the site is remote or sloped.
Price your own court in 3 minutesA new tennis court costs $108,000 to $129,600 with a basic pad or $126,000 to $151,200 with an ASBA-spec pad, for a standard 7,200 sq ft surface. Resurfacing costs $10,800 to $12,960 plus crack repair.
If you already have a sound concrete pad, surfacing and lines alone run $10,800 to $12,960. If you only need lines on an existing surface, the flat fee is $1,500.
Site access, grading, and local concrete pricing move the final figure. Builders quote the low end for clean, flat, accessible sites and up to 20 percent more for difficult ones.
ASBA is the American Sports Builders Association. An ASBA-spec pad is a thicker, reinforced slab built to tighter tolerances. It costs about 24 percent more than a basic sub-base pad and lasts longer where the ground moves.
