Extra courts on the same property cost less, because we are already there with the brushes out.

Ray walks the court with you, checks the clay depth with a probe, tests the sprinklers and looks at drainage. About 30 minutes.

You get a one-page plan by email: visit day, what we do each time, and anything the court needs before it is worth maintaining.

Same crew, same day
We come on the same weekday every time, text when we arrive and leave, and log each visit so your board or family can see it.

“Our club had three different companies in five years. The Ortegas have been here every Tuesday for four years now, and the courts have never played better.”
“Fair price, and Lucia texts a photo when they finish. We are up north half the year and still know exactly how the court looks.”
“After Hurricane Ian they had our court cleaned, re-leveled and playable in nine days. Other courts in the neighborhood took months.”
A family business on a weekly route
Ray grew up on clay courts in Puerto Rico and spent 14 years as head groundskeeper at a Naples club before we started Gulfside in 2014. Lucia runs the schedule, the billing and the texts you get after each visit, and our son Daniel joined the crew in 2020.
We look after about 70 courts on a weekly route, which means we know every one of them by heart. We are not the cheapest, and we are never the company that stops showing up. Licensed and insured in Collier and Lee County.

Clay court questions
Why does a clay court need so much care?
Clay is loose material on top of a base. Play pushes it around, rain washes it off, and sun dries it out. Brushing, rolling and watering keep it level and firm, so the ball bounces true.
Can we skip summer while we are away?
You can pause, but we suggest at least every other week from May to October. Algae and weeds take hold fast in the rainy season, and fixing them costs more than the visits.
How often does a court need new clay?
Most courts need a spring top-dressing every year, usually 2 to 4 tons depending on play. Busy club courts sometimes need a second, lighter one in the fall.
Our sprinklers spray unevenly. Can you fix them?
Yes. We service pop-up and subsurface watering systems. Most fixes are nozzles or a valve, from $185. If it needs more, we quote it before we start.
Do you work for condo and HOA boards?
About half our courts are associations. We provide a certificate of insurance, a visit log the board can see, and one invoice a month.
Do you also work on hard courts?
We focus on clay, but we pressure wash and do small repairs on hard courts for customers who have both. For full resurfacing we refer a company we trust.
