High Silt Infields - Is This Your Infield?

High silt infields cause maintenance issues throughout the year.  They are dusty and firm when dry and difficult to manage after rain events.  Typically, high silt infields have a blond/light tan appearance.

High silt infields cause a lot of issues coming out of winter and the freeze/thaw cycle.  I wanted to post this photo of a high silt infield.  Notice the material displacement after someone walked through the infield after a 1/2 in. rain.


How do you how much silt is in your infield?  What is your SCR?  Go to Dura-edge.com to learn more about the T.A.C.S. process.
