    Does anybody else have to take care of clay courts? I have 4 HarTru subsurface irrigated courts and 2 HarTru Bocce courts to tend to and I am wondering what you use to roll the lines and roll Hydro blend when you are resurfacing low spots.

    Regards,

    Steve

    Steve,

    I take care of five clay courts. We however have overhead irrigation so we use topdressing material w/ binder to fill in low areas. We use a lute to make it as level as possible and then sweep it afterwards, the binder takes care of the rest. I've never rolled the lines other than when rolling the entire court. What do you mean by roll the lines?

    I use to. Used a walk behind sod roller, then a hand drag. Had a special wheel with a brush to clean the lines.
