Want to get the most out of your sports court?
Then maintenance is a must!
To stay up to date on your court needs, there are tasks either you or a professional should complete on a regular basis.
Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential for court maintenance. Sweep the court to remove leaves, dirt, and debris, which can lead to mold and mildew if not tended to. When washing the court, use a mild detergent solution and soft-bristled equipment to clean the surface of the court.
Damage Prevention
Preventing damage is just as important as cleaning. Use pads under chair legs or anchor permanent benches to prevent damage from dragging. Ensure players and guests know what type of shoes and equipment that can be used, as well as any items not permitted on the court.
Spring Cleaning
After inclement winter weather, a thorough surface cleaning will help extend the life of your court. Once a year, schedule a surface cleaning with a sports court professional.
Drain Systems
Proper drain systems ensure excess water is diverted away from the court. Keep vegetation and debris away from court drains. If you notice standing water on your court after it rains, or any damage to your drain system, contact a court professional for an evaluation.
Landscaping
With the right landscaping, you can create an outdoor oasis with your court as the centerpiece. Make sure you keep grass and vegetation around the court surface trimmed, sweep walkways leading the court, and protect the surface from fertilizer, weed killer, and insect control products.
Repair and Resurfacing
If you notice any cracks or dead spots, call a court-surfacing professional as soon as possible. They will assess the damage and make repairs as needed.
