It may feel like winter just begun, but spring will be here before we know it.

For outdoor sports enthusiasts, the first sign of warmer temperatures means more time on the court, and that’s always good news!

Before you get into full swing, it’s essential to surface clean your court so that you can get the most out of it for the rest of the year.

Why Surface Cleaning is Needed Every Year

From fall through the winter, outdoor courts experience all types of inclement weather: falling leaves, rain, sleet, snow, and winds. This can cause a build-up of debris, and if not taken care of, it will eventually cause damage to your court. 

Every year, spring maintenance helps to prolong the life of outdoor courts. Not only this, but a clean court improves practice and games, as players don’t have to worry about slipping or tripping. 

It’s possible to remove loose debris on your own using a leaf blower or a large outdoor push broom. But when it comes to surface cleaning, don’t make the mistake of bringing out your power washer! 

Sports courts require a specific solution and cleaning apparatus. Having a professional clean your court ensures that any algae, mold, dirt, or other materials are fully removed, without causing damage to the surface. 

The Process

Surface cleaning begins with a pre-soak. This soft wash solution loosens any vegetation on the court so it can easily be washed away. The next step is to use a high-pressure hot water system to thoroughly rinse and wash the court. 

Sometimes, the surface cleaner will remove loose and deteriorated paint. If this happens and the material is loose under the coatings, you will want it removed for safety reasons. Should this issue arise, we will discuss your options with you.
