Artificial grass is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look just like natural grass. This type of grass is more often used in sports like tennis. Artificial grass for tennis is a combination of artificial turf as well as a silicon based infill. This type of tennis court surface is also called sand filled artificial turf surface.

This type of court aims to replicate traditional turf courts and clay courts in both look and feel. Artificial grass for tennis is much more hard-wearing and needs less maintenance related tasks. Less maintenance doesnt mean that it is maintenance free. There are some important tasks that must be taken care to ensure that the artificial grass for tennis remains at its best.

But before I mention about the maintenance that will be required from a professional service, there is an important yet regular task that you need to follow. Remove the debris from the surface of the turf by using clean sweep. Removing debris from the surface is essential as organic matter being lodged into the pile of synthetic turf will increase the chances of algae and moss.

Advantages of using Artificial Grass for Tennis:

Synthetic turf provides easy installations to the tennis court and delivers excellent playing characteristics giving a smooth balance and brilliant response spin and slice shots and a perfect combination of foot slide and grip.

Maintenance:

As the surface of the tennis court is sand filled, it will repeatedly get packed down by foot traffic and the climate. When the sand particles become compacted, these no longer perform the task of enabling the grass to sit upright. The footing will become more slippery, when the compaction of the sand gets too bad.

Hence, ever year people may find that they have to hire professionals who are specialized in doing up or refurbishing the sand filled artificial grass. The steps carried out by those professionals include lifting and conditioning of the grass fibers, high-pressure wash, power brushing to decompacting the sand infill, sand-level adjustment, seam repair, replacement of worn and torn parts.

Preventive Methods:

If you want to keep the artificial grass clean by yourself then it is best to practice preventative methods for maintenance. It means to try to stop people from entering the tennis court with excessively dirty shoes. You can provide a mat at the entrance, make shoes brushes available. Besides, you can get a gravel-tray filled with coarse gravel. The cleaner the shoes of players would be, the less debris will get trapped in the grass.
