How to Install Artificial Grass in A Tennis Court?

Today most tennis clubs in Australia are opting for the synthetic grass for tennis courts. Even players prefer playing on the synthetic grass surface rather than on clay or natural grass courts. The many behind the popularity of this turf is its many benefits. They require less maintenance, durable, water resistant and also affect the game to some extent.

Installation of the artificial grass is easier than the real turf.  To construct tennis court a large open area is required. A standard tennis court is 78 ft by 36 ft rectangle. Once the area is decided for the court the old grass needs to be removed and 1 or 2 inches of the top soil should be cleared and then evened. After this step it is very essential to spray the whole area with weed and grass killer. This is followed by covering the entire court with a weed barrier cloth to provide added protection from grass or weeds.
On the weed control cloth gravels and sands are applied which are smoothened with a shovel. After this the synthetic grass is laid down and the excess edges are trimmed with a scissor. Once this is done the entire court surface is filled with sand which is evenly spread with a broom to fluff up the artificial grass.

The whole procedure of installing synthetic grass may seem easy but it is always better to take the assistance from some professional for Tennis Court Construction in Victoria. Hiring a professional artificial grass installer ensures proper construction of the tennis court that would last for many years.
