Topdressing


Topdressing of grass courts at Wimbledon and LCC. They look very much alike in coverage.
The same soil that is below ground is spread on top. This helps thatch breakdown, smoothes the court and helps with drainage. About an 1/8 of an inch of soil is added each topdressing event. Most of the courts at LCC have had this done twice this September.
