Question 1

How often should we have our synthetic court groomed?

Accepted Answer

We recommend at least once a year. If your court is in the shade or has a large amount of organic matter falling on it, twice yearly is a good idea.

Question 2

When is the best time of year to groom my court?

Accepted Answer

Usually, the best time to groom your court is from August onwards. Moss and Algae, the most common synthetic turf issue, require drier conditions for the best results.

Question 3

What do you use to kill the moss and mould?

Accepted Answer

We use a targeted spray with our state-of-the-art walk-behind shrouded spray units. We use these machines to ensure no overspray, and we get even coverage over your tennis court.

Question 4

Can you groom anywhere in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we cover all the major centres but can still come to remote parts of the country.

Question 5

How much does it cost to clean a synthetic tennis court in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies based on court size, condition and access, but most CourtClean grooming jobs sit in the $500 to $1,500 NZD range for a standard household court. Heavier restoration work (severe moss, mould or fibre lift) is quoted on inspection. Contact us via the contact form on courtclean.co.nz for a tailored quote.

Question 6

What is the difference between court cleaning, grooming and restoration?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning removes surface debris, moss and mould. Grooming redistributes the sand or rubber infill and lifts the synthetic fibres so the court plays correctly and drains properly. Restoration is the deeper service - replacing infill, re-lining, or repairing damaged seams and patches. CourtClean offers all three across New Zealand.

Question 7

How long does court cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

A standard tennis court groom and clean usually takes 4 to 6 hours on site. Larger jobs (multi-court complexes, restoration work) can take a full day or longer. We work in dry conditions wherever possible to ensure infill settles correctly.

Question 8

Do you service netball, hockey, futsal or other synthetic sports surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CourtClean services tennis courts, netball courts, hockey turfs, futsal pitches, multi-sport surfaces and synthetic croquet greens. The cleaning and grooming process is similar across most synthetic turf surfaces - we adjust the technique to the specific fibre and infill type.

Question 9

Is moss and mould treatment safe for pets and kids?

Accepted Answer

We use treatments that are safe once dry. We recommend keeping pets and children off the court for 24 to 48 hours after application to allow the treatment to fully cure and any active moss spores to die back.

Question 10

How often do you recommend cleaning a tennis court?

Accepted Answer

For most synthetic courts in New Zealand we recommend a professional groom and clean once every 12 to 18 months. Courts under heavy tree cover, in damp microclimates, or with high play volume may need annual or even six-monthly attention. Regular brushing between professional services extends infill life significantly.
