Making the Court
A grass tennis court can be made in a few simple steps. First, the area where the court will be located must be cleared of any debris or vegetation. Next, a layer of topsoil should be spread over the cleared area and compacted. Once the topsoil is in place, a layer of sand should be spread over it and compacted as well. After the sand is in place, the grass seed can be sown. The grass should be mowed regularly to keep it at the proper height.
