A dirty tennis court is more than just an eyesore; it's a safety hazard and a sign of premature surface degradation. However, the biggest danger to your court isn't the algae—it's an inexperienced contractor with a high-pressure washer.
Tennis court surfaces are coated with acrylic paint that contains a fine mixture of silica sand. This sand provides the essential grip and traction needed for safe play and proper ball bounce. Using a standard pressure washer or a concrete surface cleaner on a tennis court will **blast this silica sand out of the paint**, permanently stripping the court of its texture. This makes the surface dangerously slippery and renders it worthless for tennis, requiring a full, expensive resurfacing job that can cost between $8,000 and $10,000.
The only correct way to clean a court is with a low-pressure chemical application.
Our Court-Safe Soft Wash Process
We treat your court like the high-performance athletic surface it is. Our process is designed to kill all organic growth and remove dirt without compromising the court's integrity, ensuring a safe and beautiful result.
Surface Inspection
We begin by inspecting the court for any pre-existing damage, cracks, or areas of concern, and protect any surrounding sensitive landscaping.
Low-Pressure Chemical Application
We apply a calibrated 3-4% Sodium Hypochlorite solution using a dedicated low-pressure pump. This solution kills 100% of the algae, mold, and mildew at the root.
Gentle Agitation
For areas with heavy buildup, we use professional soft-bristle scrubbing brooms to gently agitate and lift the dead organic matter from the surface without disturbing the silica sand.
Controlled Low-Pressure Rinse
We use a ball valve to carefully control the water pressure, performing a thorough rinse to wash away all contaminants and cleaning solutions, leaving a perfectly clean surface.

Regularly removing corrosive organic growth and dirt helps preserve the integrity of the acrylic surface, protecting your investment and delaying the need for costly resurfacing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. We never use high-pressure surface cleaners on tennis courts. Our specialized soft wash method is the only industry-approved technique for safely cleaning acrylic court surfaces without removing the essential silica sand that provides traction.
Pricing depends on the number of courts and their condition. A single, heavily soiled court may range from $1200-$1500. For multiple courts or those in better condition, the price can be around $800 per court. We also offer pricing based on square footage, similar to our roof cleaning services, which is typically around $0.30 per sq/ft.
In the Middle Tennessee climate, we recommend a professional cleaning at least once a year to prevent significant algae and mildew buildup, which ensures the court remains safe and playable year-round.
