The book serves as a comprehensive manual for homeowners and amateur gardeners interested in creating their own tennis courts, detailing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of court design and construction. It emphasizes the importance of proper location, material selection, and maintenance while highlighting the tennis court's role as a social feature of country homes.
