Brushing for Daily Maintenance of Clay Court and Har-Tru:
After a tennis match, brushing the court is essential to maintaining a smooth surface. The loose top dressing is moved about the court to level up the playing surface.
If the court has not been watered lately, brushing may also cause it to become dry. If the court is too wet to use or if you brush it before watering it, proceed with caution.
Hydrating:
Watering your court is essential to maintaining adequate traction, stability, and hardness and the playing surface’s optimal condition.
Watering a court in the middle of the day or at night is usually best. Ensuring the court is safe for play is the most important thing to do.
Sliding:
A clay court may be made faster and firmer by rolling it. It functions as a check to prevent excessive loose top dressing material accumulation on the court surface.
Because clay courts have the highest moisture in the morning, rolling a court at this time of day is ideal.
