How Do You Build A Professional Baseball Field?
“Build it and they will come,” the famous line from “Field of Dreams” tells the tale–baseball fields are special places, and building a professional diamond is nearly a guarantee that someone will want to play on it. With some care and the right information you can build a professional baseball field that will soon echo with the voices of the boys of summer. Pick a site. You’ll need level ground large enough to accommodate building the type of baseball field you’ve chosen. Check to see how well it drains; if heavy rain leaves standing water you must install a drainage system. Pay attention to the dirt. The infield, at least the base paths, should be “skin” and a crucial playing surface. Soil composition varies from region to region, so check the makeup of your selected site. You’ll want a smooth, rock-free surface that drains well. Grow the grass. You’ll want a thick, luxurious and durable carpet of green for the field. Consult with a turf expert for the type of grass that grows best
