If you’ve invested in a backyard tennis or pickleball court, you already know — it’s not just for fun. It’s part of your lifestyle and your home’s value.
But like a pool or patio, your court needs regular care. At Hydra-Blade, we specialize in residential court cleaning that protects your investment — and helps you avoid resurfacing bills that can hit $6,000 or more.
1. Dirt Builds Up Fast — and Starts Doing Damage
Wind, leaves, and Arizona dust coat your court quickly. When left unchecked, this debris:
- Causes surface abrasion
- Traps moisture under grime
- Hides algae growth that weakens the surface
According to ASBA (American Sports Builders Association), neglected courts can require resurfacing in as little as 3 years, while well-maintained courts can last 8–10 years or longer.
2. Moisture + Grime = Surface Failure
Moisture trapped under dirt softens coatings and creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and algae.
The USTA Facility Services Guide notes that water damage is a top contributor to court degradation, often leading to bubbling, peeling, or cracking.
Resurfacing from damage like this isn’t minor — it’s often thousands of dollars, not including lost time or court use.
3. It’s Not Just About Looks — It’s About Safety
Slick debris, mold, and uneven surfaces pose safety risks — especially for kids and older family members.
A study published in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine highlights that poor surface conditions significantly increase injury risk, even during light recreational play.
4. Preventative Cleaning Saves Thousands
Think of court cleaning like changing the oil in your car — regular upkeep is a small investment that avoids huge repairs.
- Resurfacing: $6,000–$10,000+

Even Tennis Industry Magazine recommends routine cleaning every 3–6 months to preserve surface life and play quality.
