Last week, the J&D Turf crew was at Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH. The project was as follows:
Check existing field alignment/foul poles
Edge infield and warning track
Install 25 tons of FieldSaver 50 Custom Amendment
Install 50 tons of Dura Edge Collegiate Infield Mix
Blend the materials together with a Blecavator
Roll with a 3 ton roller and laser grade
Add 3 tons of Diamond Pro Professional Calcined Clay
Install 25 tons of crushed brick to the existing outfield warning track
Here is the project in photos:
Edging the warning track and the infield:
Adding warning track and the finished product:
The infield renovation:
Watering in the finished product. With the recent dry weather in the Midwest, the use of irrigation heads to water the infield are a nice item to have to maintain proper moisture.
Oberlin now has a softball field that is smooth with a balanced collegiate sand/silt/clay infield mix for Div 3 NCAA Softball play.

This looks like it is going to be a great field to play on. My daughter and I have been looking at colleges in PA with softball teams, when we came across your post. I am sure most teams wish to have a field as nice as this one. Thanks so much for sharing.
