Surface Irrigation

Your tennis court is only as good as your irrigation system

Water keeps a court firm, gives it rich, dark color, and ensures stable footing for tennis players. Let us help you decide what type of irrigation system is right for you.

Water can be introduced to a court through a sub-surface irrigation system or an above ground irrigation system. The vast majority of new courts are installed with sub-surface irrigation. The HydroCourt sub-surface irrigation system has been in use for over 20 years in all climates and has been proven to reduce court expenses and simplify daily maintenance. That being said, a well-designed sprinkler system is also a very effective way to deliver the water Har-Tru courts need.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

A clay court, like a sponge, holds water. This water evaporates over the course of a day. Irrigation regimens should be designed to replenish water lost during the day.
  • 1

    Water multiple times for short durations to allow your court to absorb and retain water more readily.

  • 2

    Always water after brushing as brushing accelerates drying.

  • 3

    Adjust sprinkler heads on a weekly basis to ensure proper coverage.
