The HydroPRO System

Smart Irrigation.
Flawless Performance.

HydroPRO Court is a self-regulating subsurface irrigation system built into the very foundation of your clay court. Unlike traditional surface watering, HydroPRO delivers moisture from below maintaining a consistent, ideal playing surface without manual intervention, mid-day closures, or excessive water waste.


Each court is engineered with one 20mm/30mm lined cell. A precision water control box monitors and fine-tunes the moisture level in each zone, giving operators total command over playing conditions. Once calibrated, float valves and overflow pipes maintain those levels automatically day and night, season after season.

How It Works

Engineering You Can Feel Under Every Step

Our precision controlled cell works in harmony beneath your court surface to deliver water exactly where it's needed automatically.

Step 01

One 20mm/30mm Lined Cell

Each court consists of one solid premium 20mm/30mm HDPE membrane beneath the entire playing surface. The one cell architecture ensures moisture is evenly distributed.

Step 02

Precision Water Controlled Canisters

Six Canisters across the court perimeter. Each canister is connected to 5 high performance drain pipes, spanning 20’ in total width. The HydroPro System allows operators to fine tune moisture levels to match player preference conditions or tournament specifications all from one irrigation controller, with WiFi capabilities to work from your cell phone.

Step 03

Timer Controlled Water Regulation

HydroPro Court System can be controlled from your cell phone via WiFi to control the irrigation. No need to continuously adjust float valves. Just set the timer for once a day 45 minutes watering cycle and let the irrigation controls do the rest!

Step 04

Premium Clay Surface on Top

The HydroPRO foundation supports a premium natural clay surface installed over a porous aggregate base and finished with the finest crushed stone for a consistent, responsive playing experience that rivals any professional venue in the world.

Why HydroPRO

Six Reasons Courts Choose HydroPRO

Perfect Conditions 24/7

HydroPRO courts stay uniformly moist, smooth, and firm delivering a consistent ball bounce and exceptional footing from the opening warm-up to the final tiebreak. No dry patches. No uneven bounces. Just championship-quality play, every session.

Maximum Court Availability

Eliminate midday shutdowns entirely. HydroPRO's intelligent subsurface drainage means courts are not shutdown for sprinklers and afternoon maintenance, and remain fully playable adding meaningful hours of usable court time every single week of the season.

Dramatically Simpler Maintenance

Maintenance time is cut in half or more. Automated watering eliminates the most labor-intensive clay court task entirely. Rolling is only required occasionally. A single daily raking keeps the surface in peak condition, giving staff hours back in their day.

Superior Player Comfort

Moisture rising from below creates a powerful natural cooling effect. HydroPRO courts run up to 20°F cooler than hard courts. Players notice immediately. Athletes train longer, experience less heat fatigue, and face a dramatically reduced risk of heat-related injury.

40% Less Water Consumption

Subsurface delivery is dramatically more efficient than overhead or surface irrigation. Water goes exactly where it's needed with virtually zero evaporative loss reducing overall water consumption by approximately 40% while achieving superior, more consistent results.

Proven in Every Climate

Over 1,000 HydroPRO installations, proven across desert heat, tropical humidity, and everything between. This is a mature, field-tested system refined by four decades of real-world performance at facilities on every continent.

The Surface Itself

A Clay Court Built to Last Forever

The HydroPRO system pairs with a premium natural clay surface a crushed stone material of remarkable hardness and angularity that locks together under play to form a stable, durable, and deeply satisfying playing experience.

  • ✓
    Dries Rapidly After RainSurface water clears quickly, allowing play to resume within minutes rather than hours. Competitive facilities stay fully operational when all other court types sit idle.
  • ✓
    Cooler Playing SurfaceStays 10–20°F cooler than asphalt or hard courts making summer play dramatically more comfortable for players of every age and level, from junior development through elite performance.
  • ✓
    Protects Players' BodiesThe natural cushioning of clay significantly reduces high-impact stress on knees, hips, and ankles the leading reason touring professionals prefer clay surfaces for their highest-volume training periods.
  • ✓
    Installs Over Existing SurfacesHydroPRO Court can be installed over existing asphalt or concrete courts, making high-performance upgrades practical and cost-effective no full demolition required.
  • ✓
    Environmentally ResponsibleThe porous system dramatically reduces surface runoff and erosion clearing zoning hurdles in environmentally sensitive locations where impermeable surfaces are restricted.
  • ✓
    Never Cracks Always RepairableUnlike hard courts that develop cracks requiring costly full-surface repairs, clay courts are infinitely restorable. With proper care, a HydroPRO court will last indefinitely.

Simplified Maintenance

Less Time Maintaining.
More Time Playing.

HydroPRO Court's subsurface irrigation system dramatically reduces the labor burden of clay court ownership. Here's what a simplified daily routine actually looks like:

Daily Brushing (Once)

A single daily drag-brush pass keeps the surface level and the material properly redistributed. The HydroPRO system handles all moisture management you handle the surface. On most days, that's the full extent of required maintenance.

Rolling (As Needed Not Daily)

Because HydroPRO maintains consistent subsurface moisture, heavy compaction from rolling is needed far less frequently delivering a significant time and equipment cost saving across the entire life of the court.

Automated Watering Zero Manual Labor

The most time-consuming traditional clay court task watering is completely eliminated. Set your desired moisture level once. The system adjusts and maintains it automatically, around the clock, every day of the year, in any weather.

Easy Surface Top-Dressing

When surface material needs replenishment over time typically measured in years, not months the process is straightforward and inexpensive. No cracking, no full resurfacing contracts, no prolonged closures or major disruptions to your schedule.

Common Questions

Answers to What We Hear Most

Can HydroPRO Court be installed over existing asphalt or concrete?
Yes and this is one of HydroPRO Court's most compelling advantages. In most cases, the full system can be installed directly over your existing asphalt or concrete base, eliminating the significant cost and disruption of demolition. Our team will evaluate your current surface and recommend the optimal approach for your property and budget.
How much water does HydroPRO actually save versus traditional clay court watering?
HydroPRO Court uses approximately 40% less water than conventional overhead or surface-applied irrigation systems. Because water is delivered from below directly into the subsurface reservoir there's virtually no evaporative loss. The float valve system ensures water is never added beyond what's required, eliminating waste completely.
How quickly can play resume after heavy rain?
HydroPRO courts are built over a porous crushed aggregate base specifically engineered for rapid drainage. After typical rainfall, courts are generally playable within a very short window often dramatically faster than competing clay surfaces. During light rain, play can often continue without any interruption at all.
What does day-to-day maintenance actually look like with HydroPRO?
On a typical day, a HydroPRO court requires a single brushing pass often achievable in under 10 minutes per court. Watering is fully automated and requires no daily input. Rolling is only needed occasionally rather than daily. The overall result is roughly a 50% reduction in maintenance labor compared to conventional clay court protocols.
Can HydroPRO Court be configured for pickleball as well as tennis?
Absolutely. Clay court surfaces are increasingly sought-after for pickleball offering joint-friendly cushioning, a naturally cooler surface temperature, and exceptional traction during lateral movement. HydroPRO Court can be configured for dedicated pickleball courts, combined tennis/pickleball layouts, or fully flexible dual-use facilities.
