INFIELD SOILS
An Overview of Infield Soil |
LIVE THE DURAEDGE DIFFERENCE
A ballfield’s integrity depends on the quality of its basic soil makeup. DuraEdge applies the scientific method and takes the guesswork out of infield
amendment and construction. After rigorous testing and formulation, DuraEdge infield experts create custom blends of sand, silt and clay that result in
the ideal infield mix for any facility — no matter how big or small. Major and minor league organizations, top collegiate programs, high schools and
many parks & rec departments across the country trust DuraEdge with their ballfields.
An infield skin topdressing is the true playing surface of an infield.
It must help retain moisture, ensure fair bounces, create a smooth sliding surface and add resiliency.
DuraEdge ProSlide Expanded Shale and DuraEdge Calcined Clay topdressings were developed to
provide a perfect playing surface for safe and reliable play. DuraEdge topdressing helps balance
both firm and fast surfaces in hot, dry months as well as sticky and wet surfaces in rainy months.
These are great choices for any level of play.
Even the best infields will degrade over time if not properly maintained. Both DuraEdge and
Beacon Athletics offer a complete line of field maintenance products and an array of educational
resources. Beacon’s Groundskeeper University offers free online training with tried & true best
practices for game day preparation of ballfields. And, DuraEdge and Beacon have a vast library of
blog posts related to infield maintenance at duraedge.com and ballfields.com, respectively. With
DuraEdge infield materials and these tools & resources, any organization can maintain a safer and
more playable infield that ballplayers will remember fondly for the rest of their lives.
