Hard surface. Fence with wind screens.

I used to budget about $60k per court for a post tensioned court and standard surface. Surfacing can get pricey, as can lighting.

Visquine suspended between two folding chairs in driveway. $30 if you buy used.

I could see it being $85k for a single court. The smallest I ever did was a 5-court. I also did a 6, 8, and 11. All of the bids usually came in around $60k/court.

7,200 sq. ft. for a doubles court. Subgrade prep. At 4" thick for the concrete you have almost 100 cubic yards of concrete @ $110/ cu. yard = ~ $10k in concrete. The surface done correctly is going to be expensive. Fencing, netting, striping...

$40-50k with lights.

I have absolutely no idea. I do know it is a specialty blend of clay not available in every local market.

50k really isn't that bad. I'd rather have a tennis court than a swimming pool.

They re-did 4 courts at my high school while I was there. I think it was 210k. I remember because I thought it was outrageous at the time, but now realize just how much shot costs. Probably got a good deal actually because they turned out very nice. .

The red clay you see on TV on European courts is primarily crushed red brick combined with synthetic binders. The greenish/grey clay commonly found in North America is a purely synthetic composite. The most common trade names are Har-Tru and Rubico.

Omni is good surface for a home court. It's AstroTurf with sand packed into it.

I built some for $200k. It was a few courts, fencing, sidewalks and landscaping. They already had lights in a different budget. You could probably do one single court for $75k to surface it properly. Lights can get costly. You can do a half ads job surfacing and get off cheaper. Most concrete crews don't have the right tools to do it properly.
