BOSTALL GARDENS TENNIS COURT RESURFACING
the appointed contractor to complete the reconstruction of a multi-million pound investment framework to revamp 184 tennis courts across the south of England. One of those courts included this court at Bostall Gardens in London.
We were appointed to deliver the reconstruction of 184 tennis courts across the South of England as part of a multi-million-pound investment framework aimed at increasing public access to high-quality tennis facilities. One of these projects included the courts at Bostall Gardens, Greenwich, which received a full resurfacing upgrade along with a vibrant, hand-painted design by renowned street art duo Low Bros.
Enhancing Public Tennis Facilities
This nationwide framework seeks to promote community tennis by providing safe, modern and visually appealing courts. At Bostall Gardens the project involved:
Full resurfacing of double tennis courts
Installation of a secure, 3m-high perimeter fence
New tennis posts and nets
Customised court colouring and line marking
Bespoke hand-painted artwork surrounding the courts
Tennis Court Resurfacing Process
The courts were excavated to a depth of 365mm followed by a structured installation process:
Geo-textile membrane for stability and longevity
300mm Type 3 base course for robust support
40mm porous binder course for durability and drainage
Final 25mm SuperSport surface course for optimal playability

Security & Accessibility Upgrades
