Clay Court Maintenance – All Court Tennis Court Maintenance is available to advise on the best methods for maintaining your Har-Tru and Hydrocourt Tennis Courts.
Here are some maintenance recommendations from Har-Tru for your Har-Tru courts and Hydrocourts:
Daily Required Maintenance for a Har-Tru Court Involves the Following:
Brushing a Har-Tru court redistributes the loose top dressing material and smooths it out after play. Brushing also dries the court out so it should only be done just prior to watering or if your court is too wet. Contact All Court for recommendations on maintenance equipment including brushes.
Water keeps Har-Tru courts firm and stable ensuring proper traction, and should take place as directed to maintain optimal court conditions. It is recommended at times for watering to be done overnight and once during the middle of the day here in Southwest Florida. All Court Tennis Maintained Group along with our court conditioning programs will setup a specific schedule for your courts.
Rolling a court makes it firmer and faster and prevents too much loose top dressing material from building up on the court surface, and is important for tennis courts in a drier cooler air of our Southwest Florida Winters, and should happen daily in this setting to maintain optimal compaction. Subsequent rolling can be done as needed to achieve desired playing conditions. Rolling is most effective in the morning when a court has moisture in it.
Daily Maintenance for a HydroCourt
A few simple daily routines will keep your court looking and playing great for years to come. These routines can take as little as 10 minutes a day and involve three things: brushing, watering, and rolling.
Brushing: HydroCourts stay at optimal moisture most of the time and require very little brushing; what brushing that does take place is most effective when using aggressive grooming tools such as the Gator Rake or the Steel Bristle Drag Brush. These tools will help keep an optimal amount of loose sliding material on the surface. Like the Tru-court brushes, All Court Tennis Maintenance Group will give you the best advice on the equipment to purchase for this step of court maintenance.
Watering: HydroCourts should be done when necessary- and this is part of the process that All Court Tennis Maintenance Group provides for you.
Rolling: Rolling is important for tennis courts coming out of the winter in a freeze/thaw environment and should happen daily in this setting until the court reaches an optimal compaction. Subsequent rolling can be done as needed to achieve desired playing conditions but is not typically required for HydroCourt.
Periodic Maintenance for a Har-Tru Court
Periodic maintenance on a Har-Tru court addresses court changes that occur over time. These should include repair of divots and low spots, inspection of tapes for areas where the lines are high or the edges are curled, the elimination of growth around the perimeter of the court, scarification of any hard or slippery spots, and the clearing of drainage channels.
Periodic Maintenance for a HydroCourt
Periodic maintenance on a HydroCourt addresses court changes that occur over time. These should include scarification to prevent and eliminate growth and to prevent and reduce hardening of the court surface, adding Coarse Blend to maintain optimum traction, and the clearing of drainage channels.
Annual Reconditioning for a Har-Tru Court
The reconditioning process includes four segments: cleaning, leveling, top dressing, and laying lines.
Cleaning – Remove the tapes and all leaves and debris and lightly scrape court to remove oversized particles.
Leveling – Scrape down high areas (such as where the lines were) and patch low areas.
Top Dressing – Add new Har-Tru at a rate of two tons per court.
Laying Lines – Install new line tapes. Re-using tapes is acceptable if the texture has not been worn off.
