Whether you’re replacing a tired lawn or building a private sports court from scratch, our in-house team handles the entire project; earthworks, base, surface, and finishing. One team. No handoffs.
Our fake grass installation goes deeper than the rest literally. We excavate to 100mm versus the industry standard of 60mm and use 15–20kg of sand infill per square metre. The result stays firm, drains properly, and looks immaculate through Melbourne’s most unpredictable seasons. No mud. No brown patches. No mowing.
We install synthetic grass and acrylic hard courts built to club standard line-marked, properly drained, and designed to last. Synthetic surfaces offer a softer, quieter game ideal for recreational play. Acrylic delivers the true feel and bounce of a competition court. Either way, no maintenance headaches, just a great court ready to use year-round.
Purpose-built from dedicated putting green turf for realistic ball roll and feel. Custom-shaped to your space. Year-round playability, zero maintenance, and a feature that genuinely adds to the property.
From a backyard half-court with a durable in-ground ring to a full multi-sport surface that handles basketball, netball, and more, we handle earthworks, base construction, surface, line marking, rings, and netting. Nothing farmed out.
