Every year during the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, the Preserve converts the daily croquet court into a full size grass tennis court. In preparation for this event, we maintained the court like a golf putting green. The only difference is the height of cut. This court was cut at .200 inch instead of a height around .100 inch. The mower that we used is an older Jacobsen model.
We also aerified, double verticut, topdressed, and rolled this court previous to the Wimbledon tournament. One week prior to the event, we measured out and painted the lines that you would find on a regulation tennis court.
The mowing lines were also burnt in to a 12/6 pattern for one week.
After the surface was prepared and firm enough for play, we set up the net and the tournament began.
