Update - Court Repairs at HEB

HEB management is working on a long-term fix for our courts. As you may remember, in years past, the courts have been resurfaced twice a year. Due to ground water influx, the repairs would usually last a whopping 3 weeks max and the surface problems would be back. Something, clearly, needed to be done. A study was conducted to determine why ground water was seeping under the courts. The initial study determined that (good news) the problem is flow from normal landscaping activities for the grounds and putting green. This can easily be stopped by installing a French drain around the courts, and that will be done.

More study work, however is being done to determine the extent of the courts’ problems. If there is a barrier between the concrete slab and the courts’ surface, then, after the French drain is installed the courts can be resurfaced and we will have very playable courts that should remain that way for some time.

If, however, this is not the case then we have a major problem and the courts will have to be torn out and start over. That’s the worst case scenario and will cost big bucks, and likely not happen this year. The tests on the courts were done yesterday, and the guys doing the work don’t think we have a major problem.

Once this study is done, and if we don’t have to tear out the courts, resurfacing can be done almost immediately and we should be back in business by mid May. We will keep you posted, so please check back periodically for updates, or call Chuck @ 720-318-7598.
