The crew spends lots of time maintaining the tennis courts, but we also take care of lots of other "grounds" projects.  Here is Charlie using a masonry saw, cutting out some concrete by the junior room.  He will then put in new pavers leading into the room's new doorway.  

Now that we are almost finished doing the spring renovations of the clay courts, we have moved on to spring prep of the grass courts.  Lisa verticutting grass courts 7-12.

The harsh winter caused lots of heaving on the grounds.  Fence posts, walkways and the grass courts all were affected.  Below Andrew is rolling the grass courts to push down and smooth the surface.  The roller weighs 2 tons and is from the 1890's!
