Tips to Make Sure your Tennis Court Installation Lasts:

Although artificial grass is low maintenance, this doesn’t mean that the surface can be neglected. There are a few tips that we recommend in order to extend the lifespan up to 20 years!

• Pick up any debris that has fallen onto the surface at the earliest possible convenience, this can include leaves, rubbish and general foliage.
• Brush the surface to redistribute the infill, you may also need to outsource power brushing which is part of our maintenance division.
• Thoroughly inspect the surface on a regular basis, note any changes (e.g. a repair that needs sorting) and have this sorted as soon as possible.
