 Natural grass
 This is a soft surface with a fast pace and high maintenance
features. At Wimbledon, you will find natural grass courts
because of the standard that comes with them. Every
player has testified to the fast speed the court gives to
them. After all, it is a wonderful experience to play on
grass. Unfortunately, the natural grass courts in Canada are
limited because such courts are not only hard to build but
maintain as well. You can compare grass courts to golf
courses. Like golf courses, they are maintained by weed
control, fertilizing, and mowing. Thus, you should search
for a professional tennis court construction firms if you
want to build a grass court.
 Clay court
 Also known as Har-Tru, this court has a soft surface with a
slow pace but requires high maintenance. Unlike others,
the ball bounces slower. As a result, the game is more
controlled because of longer rallies and an assortment of
strokes. If you must play tennis on Har-Tru, you need a
combined talent of endurance and strategy.
 Hard Court
 To obtain a low maintenance hard court, the initially hard
ourt can be cushioned and doused in an acrylic paint
finish. This also adds some form of resilience to the
surface. This rubber version of the hard surface helps to
limit the risk of an injury that is synonymous with hard
surfaces. In some systems, a cushioned mat is laid on the
hard surface (which can be made of asphalt or concrete).
