Infield Mix Renovation

What This Service Involves

Skinned infields on public baseball and softball diamonds compact, cup out at the bases, and lose their engineered profile over a few seasons. Our crews strip, screen, and reblend the infield mix, then laser-verify grade from the mound and baseline lips through to the grass edge. We rebuild the moisture-holding clay balance so the surface plays true and sheds Western Washington rain instead of holding puddles. The result is a consistent, agency-inspectable diamond ready for league and tournament use.

Benefits

Eliminates lips and low spots that cause bad hops and standing water; restores proper clay-to-aggregate balance for predictable ball response; improves surface drainage and reduces rainout cancellations; documented grades support parks department inspection sign-off

Our Process

1) Evaluate existing mix depth, grade, and lip buildup with field staff; 2) Approve material specification and renovation schedule; 3) Strip, screen, amend, and re-grade the infield to laser tolerance; 4) Moisture-condition, compact, and confirm final grade before handoff

What Affects the Cost

Infield square footage and number of diamonds; volume of replacement or supplemental infield mix; degree of grade correction and lip removal; haul-off of spent material; access for grading equipment

Best Time of Year

Plan infield renovation for spring before the season opens or immediately after fall league wraps, avoiding the wettest winter weeks.
