Sports Field & Tennis Court Maintenance
Riverina Sporting Services provides professional sports field maintenance, tennis court maintenance and synthetic turf cleaning throughout Albury Wodonga, the Riverina, regional NSW and Victoria.
Regular maintenance helps protect your sporting surface, maintain consistent playing performance and extend the working life of synthetic grass tennis courts and sports surfaces.
Daily Maintenance
All Synthetic Grass Tennis Courts need regular maintenance by mechanical cleaning and grooming. This will remove any contaminants such as soil, bird droppings, leaf litter, algae and moss. Lack of grooming will cause sand to work its way from the playing surface to the outer perimeters of the court. This can result in poor sand-filling and irregular ball bounces, insufficient slide and an ungroomed court appearance.
Regular sweeping should be carried out in dry conditions when the surface sand is dry (dependent upon court usage) suggested weekly, on average.
The suggested method is to sweep loose excessive sand from perimeters back into the court playing area. Each time grooming is performed it should be swept in a different direction.
Contract Cleaning - If regular cleaning has not been carried out it may be necessary to organise a periodic cleaning contract - Riverina can undertake this work for the client.
- After the court is cleaned we re-groom the court to evenly spread the existing sand.
- Remove by hand or flat spade any loose debris, leaves, sticks, bird droppings, etc. -this is to avoid contamination of the surface by foreign matter.
- Excess sand worked to the outside perimeter of the surface from play should be cast back into the play area and if necessary adding extra infill. Using a drag mat, start at the net running parallel from one side of the court to the other. This procedure should take no longer than ten minutes.
- The importance is to maintain even distribution of infill cover and smooth the surface.
- The sand should cover the surface so as the synthetic pile is just visible - approx. 2.00mm of pile.
Scheduled Tennis Court Maintenance
For clubs, schools, councils and private court owners, scheduled maintenance provides an easier way to keep synthetic courts in good condition throughout the year.
Riverina Sporting Services offers a six-month maintenance program designed to keep courts safe, properly groomed and looking their best.
Whether your facility requires periodic professional cleaning or ongoing maintenance, our team can assess the condition of the surface and recommend an appropriate maintenance approach.
Sports Field & Tennis Court Maintenance FAQs
Common questions about synthetic turf cleaning, tennis court maintenance and sports surface grooming.
Do synthetic tennis courts require regular maintenance?
Yes. Synthetic grass tennis courts require regular cleaning and grooming to remove debris, maintain even sand infill and help preserve consistent playing performance and appearance.
How often should a synthetic tennis court be groomed?
The frequency depends on court usage and conditions. Regular sweeping should be carried out when the court and surface sand are dry, with weekly grooming often recommended for regularly used courts.
What is included in professional tennis court cleaning?
Professional court maintenance can include removing leaves, sticks, dirt and other contaminants, grooming the synthetic turf, redistributing sand infill and adding additional infill where required.

Regular play can move sand infill away from high-use areas and towards the court perimeter. Grooming helps redistribute the infill across the playing surface to maintain more consistent performance.
