Topdressing

Some close-ups of the sandy loam topdressing that is put on the courts. This is done at different times a year, especially after aerating and verticutting. It is then worked into the sward with a heavy mat. http://lccgrounds.blogspot.com/2008/09/topdressing.html for an earlier entry on topdressing.
