Depends on how good you think he's going to be a bit. I definitely think the grass is high though. It will help you at Wimbledon -- but that's about it. Sometimes a clay specialist can get enough points there(3 masters + 1 Slam) especially if there aren't many other clay player in the world.

If you look at the top-level events(Masters + Slams + Tour Finals), points available as are follows:

Hardcourt -- 9000
Clay -- 4000
Indoor -- 2500
Grass -- 2000

I'd definitely keep the hardcourt high, probably roughly reverse the clay and grass you have going, and move indoor up into the teens. Really depends on your preferences and what you are trying to do, but that will give you the best chance to do well on the surfaces that have the most opportunities -- again, assuming you have a player who can get to the elite level.
