Buyer answers
Use these answers to compare pitch, court and play-surface requirements before scoping a school, club or council project.
Cost depends on surface type, sport standard, shockpad or acrylic build-up, line marking, fencing interfaces, lighting readiness, drainage, base remediation and access. FIFA-grade pitches, acrylic courts and rubber surfacing each need a different system build-up.
Every sports surface starts with levels, falls, drainage design and a stable engineered base. Poor preparation is the main cause of puddling, inconsistent ball response and premature wear, so we prioritise sub-base construction before the visible surface is installed.
Sports projects are normally staged around demolition, drainage and civil works, base construction, surface install, line marking, curing or infill, inspection and handover. Schools often plan around term breaks; clubs and councils usually work around seasons, bookings and public access.
Maintenance depends on the system: synthetic pitches need grooming and infill checks, acrylic courts need cleaning and coating review, and rubber areas need inspection for wear or impact-zone issues. Routine maintenance protects play quality and asset life.
Institutional clients receive documentation that supports compliance review, asset management and care planning. Depending on the system, this can include supplier warranty details, maintenance guidance, line-marking information and relevant standards references.
Synthetic pitches suit high-use field sports, acrylic courts suit ball response for tennis, netball and basketball, and rubber surfacing suits play and fitness zones. A single surface is not ideal when one sport requires specialist performance that would compromise the primary use.

We install FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro certified surfaces, sourced from accredited suppliers. Our largest delivery to date is a 9,000 m² FIFA-grade pitch at Fraser Park. All FIFA-grade installations include full sub-base preparation, drainage, and line marking.
Yes — multi-sport synthetic surfaces are designed for shared use between sports like netball, basketball, and tennis. Surface specification is calibrated to the primary sport's requirements, with multi-sport line marking.
Properly installed commercial sports surfaces typically last 8–12 years with routine maintenance. High-use institutional surfaces may require earlier refresh. We build in appropriate specifications from the start.
Yes — we build to relevant Australian Standards and Sport Australia guidelines. Institutional clients receive documentation supporting compliance review and asset management.
Yes. Alongside synthetic systems we install acrylic hard courts — the multi-layer coated surfaces used for tennis, basketball and netball — and rubber surfacing, including wet-pour soft-fall for play and fitness areas. Both are built over a properly engineered base, the same as our turf systems.
Every sports surface installation begins with site assessment, levelling, drainage design, and sub-base construction. Skipping preparation is the leading cause of premature surface failure — we don't cut corners here.
