Tennis Court Maintenance

Removing leaves and pine needles from the court in autumn and keeping the surface free of unwanted debris throughout winter minimises the development of mould and mildew. In addition to this weeds, shrubs and tree limbs should be removed and not allowed to hang over the court. Regularly clearing drainage points will also prevent moisture build-up – if the surface is not draining properly it can allow water to go places you don’t want it to, such as underneath structures like retaining walls.This link:https://www.tenniscourtmaintenance.co/

Regularly sweeping and power washing the court removes organic accumulations which can contaminate the coating. This will help to extend the life of the color coating and minimize stains. Use a soft-bristled broom and a mild detergent solution to wash the court and avoid using a high pressure washer, which can damage the court surface. If you do have fungus or mold growth, a light combination of two parts bleach and one part water should be used to scrub the area.

Preventing Weeds and Vegetation Growth on Your Tennis Court

During an inspection, look for cracks in the tennis court and repair them as soon as possible. This will extend the life of the court and reduce the cost of tennis court resurfacing in the future. Drainage systems should be inspected, cleaned, and repaired as needed. Water penetration is a major cause of premature deterioration on asphalt surfaces. Water penetration can erode the sub-base and cause premature wearing of the coatings and the substrate. Check for leaks, breaks or blockages and repair immediately.
