How to Maintain an Outdoor Court

You’ve got a fantastic new athletic space in your own backyard that’s perfect for exercise, entertainment, polishing your skills, building stamina, and gathering with friends and family. With such a perfect space in place, it’s only natural that you’re eager to understand what you need to do to maintain an outdoor court so that you can keep it looking and functioning at its very best.

How to Maintain an Outdoor Court

There are multiple benefits to taking your workout outdoors. Exposure to the sun prompts your body to produce vitamin D, a vital nutrient for good health. Because the outdoors is inherently unpredictable, it adds more of a challenge than putting your body through its paces indoors. Plus, many exercisers report that it makes their fitness routine more fun.

Building an outdoor court right outside your door makes it incredibly easy to get in some time playing your favorite game, but it’s essential that you learn know how to maintain an outdoor court. You have a few options.

Take a Do-It-Yourself Approach

The work needed to maintain an outdoor athletic court will depend on the materials used in its construction and your unique situation. At New England Courts, we install several high-quality athletic surfaces that can accommodate various sports. Whichever surface you choose from our selection, you can be sure that it’s both durable and easy to maintain.

Have branches tumbled onto the court? You simply need to pick them up. Are leaves or grass clippings blurring the surface? Remove them with a broom or leaf blower. Is grime an issue? Our surfaces are designed to be rinsed with a hose or pressure washer.
