Tennis Court Construction
ASTE constructs synthetic grass tennis courts tailored to residential and commercial needs. Our Australian-made surfaces offer consistent bounce, UV resistance, and low maintenance. Services include site assessment, colour customisation, and line marking. Clients benefit from expert guidance on material selection and budget-friendly options, with warranties ensuring long-term performance.
En Tout Cas Conversion
We convert traditional red porous tennis courts to synthetic grass or artificial clay. This process reduces maintenance costs, eliminates water dependency, and improves joint comfort. Our team uses proprietary scoria bases to replicate classic play characteristics while enhancing durability, with completed projects at major Melbourne clubs.
Synthetic Grass Maintenance
Our maintenance packages include grass cleaning, net repairs, and lighting servicing for ASTE-installed and third-party surfaces. Regular upkeep prevents debris buildup, while professional repairs address wear in high-traffic areas. Clients receive custom schedules to maximise surface lifespan and playability year-round.
Multisport Facility Design
We create versatile synthetic grass surfaces for schools and clubs, supporting multiple sports through custom line marking. Our designs optimise space usage while maintaining sport-specific performance standards. Coloured grass options enhance aesthetics for playgrounds, schoolyards, and leisure areas without compromising durability.
Cricket Wicket Installation
ASTE builds practice nets and full cricket wickets with synthetic grass surfaces that withstand intensive use. Our installations include boundary fencing, lighting integration, and suspended roof structures. Clients benefit from year-round usability and reduced maintenance compared to traditional pitches, with options for custom enclosures.
