ᐅ Converting an old tennis court into a garden

Maybe you have some pictures, and someone might have ideas on how to use or design the area nicely WITHOUT potentially extreme effort. It might also be possible to add soil, like creating a large “raised bed” or a gentle slope in the terrain, which probably wouldn’t be a problem. You don’t need that much soil on top, depending on how you want to use the garden. Maybe it will just be turf, a play area, or something similar. Perhaps try thinking differently, like adding to the space instead of removing. Also, you don’t yet know how much concrete or other material is buried there...... 😱

Off the top of my head, I think it could be a good foundation for a spacious pool – or just half of it, and on the other half an elevated pool deck 😎

Exactly, whatever... this could definitely spark a real competition of ideas here, but I would probably lean more toward preservation.
Our minister, Ms. Bär, is also promising flying taxis in the near future... so a small landing pad wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

To the main train station... in 10 minutes... oh wait, that was someone else from Bavaria 😉

Thank you for all the suggestions. I also think that building up the ground is a really good idea. We would just need to create a step for the area in front of the house, which I would leave concrete (see image). The idea of having a pool has also crossed my mind. However, it does cost quite a bit. I have also considered maintaining it. Playing some tennis outdoors in the garden during my free time would be nice too.. 🙂

The area just doesn’t look good anymore. I’m not sure how expensive or labor-intensive a new paint job would be. I’m happy to receive any advice.

Referring to your opening post and the various mentions of cost concerns related to the development of the garden/tennis court, you should first invest 95% of your thoughts and worries into the house you found. If the tennis court is already so run down, then what about the house........
Despite the current situation, why is the house so cheap?
From a landscape perspective, it shouldn’t be that affordable in principle, so where is the "catch"?
